We loved this property. The house was very well equipped, including the kitchen, sporting goods (kayaks, paddle boards, fishing gear, crab traps), and comfortable furniture. The property has good privacy and a great view of and access to the water. We hope to stay here again in the future.

Everything about this gorgeous waterfront home is perfect! The location, views, comfortable beds, tons of games, outdoor activities and all in a very spacious luxurious home makes it the nicest VRBO that our family has ever stayed in. Truly can’t say enough nice things about this rental home except that we will be back next year!

Pleasant stay

Our visit to Matthew’s was wonderful. The home was pleasant and spacious. Plenty of room for our crew! The kids enjoyed the peddle boat and kayaks, even in November! Plenty of relaxation, playing and food prep areas! One of our better rentals!

Relaxation on the water

A group of 4 friends from VA, NC, OH, and the UK met here for a few days of reconnecting and relaxing! The house is very spacious and well appointed. We loved the views of water all around! Puzzles and meals on the screen porch, morning coffee on the dock, and quiet time in the kayaks on the water made for a wonderful get away. We also enjoyed exploring Gloucester.

The property is beautiful and well set up for a family getaway. Rooms are large and spacious with multiple bathrooms that can accommodate several generations. It has beautiful views of the tranquil water within the house and out. It was well equipped in the kitchen, and lots for kids of all ages to do (multiple yard games, water equipment, and indoor room with ping pong).

Great place for family stay

Owner thought of everything for a comfortable stay. Lovely updated house with large window views of inland waters and enough space for everone. Grade school kids were never bored with pingpong, games, books, gameboy, crayfishing, etc. Close enough to go to Williamsburg, Jamestown and Yorktown. We have stayed at other houses and this house is one of the best and we will want to return.

Annual Reunion

Friends from the North and the South met in the middle at this historic property. The 270 degree view of the Morris Creek from the glassed in living space picturesque and exceeded our expectations. We enjoyed the game room above the garage and watching the eagles and herons from the dock. Ten minutes from downtown Mathews was a plus. We recommend this property to anyone who enjoys nature, the water and peace and quiet.

The property managers thought every single item, detail, amenity, anyone could ever need or want. We only spent 2 nights but could easily make a weeklong vacation here or more. This place has it all. Very spacious. We had 5 adults, 2 teens and a toddler. Location is ideal. The water views, seating, dock, etc. are amazing as the house is on a point. Jonathan, the contact person, was easy to reach to help me w the entry system (which works great). He even followed up just t confirm all was good to go. Highly recommend this property.

What a gem!

This beautiful house, tucked back in the woods was an unbelievably magical place for our family to enjoy a long weekend. The owner, Jon, was amazing in all communication. The house was stocked with everything you needed to have a fun, carefree, exciting vacation and it just a short 10-minute drive to Haven Beach for the full on beach experience. It was probably the most comfortable and relaxing vacation we have had in a LONG time! Without a doubt, we will be returning.
