WATERFRONT Guest Favorite Southern Living Upscale Cottage close to Main St!
Waterfront retreat, perfect for your next getaway!
Escape to the quaint coastal town of Mathews in this charming 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath vacation rental cottage. Just renovated, super fresh with upscale furnishings, we have created a “home away from home” for complete tranquility. Enjoy waterfront views from every room. Spend your mornings sipping coffee on the covered porch watching herons glide around the creek. Throw the crab pots in to catch your evening bounty of blue crabs. Bring your boat and tie it up at our pier or enjoy our canoe and kayaks exploring Morris & Stutts Creek, minutes from the Chesapeake Bay. Fire up the grill and enjoy meals on the outdoor dining table. The evening sunsets are not to be missed on the front porch. On chilly evenings, relax in the Adirondack chairs in front of a toasty fire. We have puzzles and board games for a friendly round of family fun.

About the host
Hosted by Stephanie Evans
Hi! We are from Richmond but have a love of the water and Mathews County. We purchased this home in the beginning of the year and are excited to share it with you. It's been a labor of love. We have tried to create a true getaway that feels like "home". We hope our guests can enjoy the slower pace of the quaint town of Mathews - the best coastal community around!
Why they chose this property
We love the quietness of our private point. It feels like a true getaway, yet around the corner from our quaint "downtown" filled with restaurants, shopping, antiquing, farmers' markets on Saturdays and so much more.
What makes this property unique
We have tried to incorporate all of the things we love when we travel - comfort and fun. Our goal is to make our cottage feel upscale and relaxing...a little nicer than the last place you stayed. We hope we have not forgotten anything that a guest might want - but we are open for suggestions. Our vision is our guests enjoying our cottage so much that they want to return!
