About this property

PRIVATE BEACH on the Chesapeake Bay

Beach front home with large yard. Beautiful views of the Chesapeake Bay from almost anywhere you stand. Large deck and gazebo for evening gatherings or sit on the separate, private, beachfront deck to watch dolphins, blue heron and eagles play. Watch the sunrise from the furnished roof deck. Enjoy your beverage of choice before laying your towel or setting your chair on the white sand beach to soak up some sun. Tired of sitting, check the crab pots, throw in a fishing line or grab one of the two kayaks and take a journey around the island or watch the sail boat regattas that take place on most summer weekends. Plenty of room for the kids to run and play in the yard.

This home has it all....open floor plan, large sun room, dining area and wet bar. 5 bedrooms, 1 King, 4 Doubles, 2 twins and one murphy bed in a large bedroom that doubles as a second den for the little ones or the teenagers who want their space. 3 full bathrooms, and a large yard to play outside games including corn hole which is provided and a basketball goal. Spacious kitchen with breakfast bar and dual ovens. Two large smart TV's, satellite service and strong Wi-Fi keep you connected if that's your "thing". The house has two detached garages, one of which is available for storage(other than car) and also contains beach toys and another fridge. Crab pots and beach chairs are also provided for your use. The other garage contains a 75 inch smart TV, couches another fridge, a chest freezer and a large ping-pong table. Next to the house is an automatic whole house generator so you will never lose power during a possible summer thunderstorm. Nights can be spent on the sand beach or on the expansive deck or the roof deck. It its raining make yourself at home under the lighted gazebo. Also, in the gazebo is a large gas grill and teak table and chairs. A fire pit with supplied firewood provides a great area for gathering as well. Saturday mornings during the summer, you can find local grown items at the farmers market on the courthouse green located at Matthews Courthouse. While there, be sure to visit some of the quaint shops to find that unique gift or get a bite to eat at one of the many local restaurants throughout the courthouse area. If this is your first visit stop by the Information Center located next to the library. Also, go to our points of interest in this special town.

Historic Yorktown, Jamestown and Colonial Williamsburg are about an hour away. If history is not your thing, a day trip to visit Busch Gardens or Water Country is about the same distance. ***Minimum 7 nights stay last week in May through Labor Day weekend. Requests for shorter stays outside of these dates may be accepted on a case-by-case basis.***

Your perfect vacation awaits!

About the host

Hosted by Brian Grizzard

Host profile image
My family has always loved the ocean. For most of my life we spent our vacations on North Carolina's Outer Banks, but the crowds got too big and the vacations I remembered from my youth were no longer possible. In 2006 I accompanied a friend to Gwyn's Island and that day I knew I had found what I once knew when visiting the Outer Banks as a child, a small town with quiet beach. I purchase my first property on the island that same day and have never looked back. Our children grew up visiting the island and we have made increasable memories. We hope you and your family will enjoy 116 Mad Calf as much as we do and build memories that will last a lifetime.

Why they chose this property

We built incredible family memories while at our first property, but, as our family grew, we wanted more space. Its hard to find beachfront property for sale on the island, but in 2017 we were lucky enough to find 116 Mad Calf Lane and we are so glad to be able to share our home with others. Gwyn's Island is a special place, unspoiled by the hustle and bustle of the more commercialized beaches. When you drive onto the island you might feel that when you cross the bridge, I know I do. The stress of life will leave you and will know you are entering a special place.

What makes this property unique

I believe the privacy, the large grounds and private beach are the best features of the house. Plenty of room to be with family or to spread out if that is your goal. There are 5 deck/patio areas as well as a roof deck where groups can gather to give everyone a special place to visit. The ocean is at your fingertips and the gently sloping sand beach offers easy water entry. The covered Gazebo is nice at night and if not at the beach we enjoy watching TV and playing ping-pong in the detached garage.
