About this property
Beach House on Chesapeake Bay!
Bring your boat!
New 3 bedroom, 2 bath rental property on the Chesapeake Bay, VA and only 1 hour drive from Richmond and 2 hours from Charlottesville!
Professionally managed luxury residence on 7+ private acres with water access on both sides, boasting a private white sand beach and panoramic water views. Over 1,000 feet of boardwalk spanning the property with a brand new pier out over the water for swimming, fishing/crabbing, and boating!
The three bedroom home has an open concept kitchen/LR/DR with exceptional water views overlooking Milford Haven and the Chesapeake Bay.
Well appointed to host up to 8 guests, with 3 bedrooms consisting of one King, two Queens, and a twin over full bunk and two full bathrooms as well as a brand new cedar outdoor shower. Premium shampoo, conditioner, and face/body wash included.
Every attention to detail has been made to outfit the kitchen for the gourmet chef with professional quality cutlery and cookware. Additionally, there is a 5 burner gas grill for barbeques and a large firepit for cooking crab pots or just making smores.
The water surrounding the property is very warm and shallow with white sand underfoot and usually very calm - great for StandUp Paddleboarding, kayaking, or just lounging in it with the kids. Guests can arrange for SUPs and kayaks to be delivered to the home.
Featuring two newly built piers that span the property with decks at each end, there are plenty of areas to sit and relax by the water where you will occasionally spot pods of Bottlenose dolphins swim past. The area has incredible fishing for Striper, Spot, Spotted Trout, and Croaker as well as plenty of Blue crab and local oysters literally in the backyard.
Seafood lovers don't have to worry about catching their own, however, as there is a local fishmonger who sells everything you could want from his curbside trailer in downtown Mathews (5 miles away). Also in Mathews, you will find a Food Lion supermarket and a variety of restaurants and dining options ranging from casual like the pizza at Southwind to fine dining at the White Dog Bistro.
The home is equipped with a medical grade air purifier, WiFi broadband internet with exceptionally fast speed(400 mbps) for streaming and video conferencing as well as dedicated work space (desk) in the 2nd bedroom, and a brand new water system with a reverse osmosis drinking water tap.
Only a short 45 minute drive to Busch Gardens, Water Country, and downtown Williamsburg and an hour from Jamestown.
If you are looking for a peaceful, quiet and relaxing vacation on the water, look no further! This place is private and serenity abounds.

This house held true to the description and pictures. The water and sunrise views were amazing! It was very quiet not a lot of traffic and on a private road. The house had everything that we needed . We did lose power one night for a few hours but Mike was quick to respond to my text and report the issue. We will definitely be going back.
Wonderful place with a wonderful host. We have stayed at several VRBO locations. None were as clean and welcoming. Great views and very peaceful and quite.
A slice of paradise! The property was so peaceful and relaxing, and the home was beautiful and had everything you would need to enjoy a stress free getaway. Highly recommend and would definitely stay again.
Never actually left a review for a vacation rental before but this was the most amazing stay because of how THOUGHTFUL the owners are. Everything was so well documented and explained in the instructions, every square inch of the property was immaculate and everywhere you turn in the house there are signs of care and consideration. We will definitely be back!
The property was wonderful. The only drawback was the fact that there were cameras on the outside front driveway and the back deck areas. It was uncomfortable knowing that we were being watched. Otherwise the house was beautiful!

Cheryl, thanks for the feedback. The cameras are for security only. Once I have a guest check-in, I turn them off for the remainder of the stay. I would have relayed that information to you had you reached out about them.

This was the 5th time we have stayed here and it was excellent as always. The home and property are always clean and spotless, and we have noticed numerous upgrades and improvements throughout the times we have stayed. Kitchen is well-stocked. The views on both sides of the property are fabulous. Highly recommend.
We have been renting through vrbo for over 20yrs. We have stayed all over the US. This is one of the nicest locations, fully stocked and great communication. Highly recommend.
Wonderful property in a beautiful setting. We hugely enjoyed our stay.

Toby,
Thank you for the nice review. Please come back when it is warmer so you can enjoy the water, wildlife, fire pit, and outdoor shower. I am replacing my last section of pier this spring so guests will have even more access to the water to swim, fish, and crab.
Mike
The property is amazing. Spent our days on the water/pier and our nights around the bonfire. Caught plenty of fish and blue crabs. Wish we could have stayed longer.
The property was better than advertised. It was beautiful, clean, very well-appointed, and serene. We wanted for nothing and we loved every minute. This is a lovely location for a quiet getaway and we would happily do it again.
The accommodations are lovely and very comfortable at this rental. There’s everything imaginable you might need for an stress-free stay. Communication with the owner was easy and very timely. My only complaint is the “private white sandy beach” description is a bit of a stretch, which, in all fairness, may simply be the doings of Mother Nature. Overall, a great stay at this lovely location.
Stunning views and immaculate house. Host was very accommodating and responsive, house was well stocked and clean. Views are unbelievable! Would recommend to anyone planning a trip to Mathews stay at this house. We hope to return in the future!
