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!
Lake view was spectacular making the back 2 rooms extremely peaceful to relax in for our group of 8. Bedrooms spacious, beds comfortable and entire home well equipped (even provided paper towels and forgotten essentials basket). Lots of table and seating options...great for games! Highly recommend this property!!

Waterfront Oasis!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this lovely home over the holidays! Very comfortable beds, sparkling baths, beautiful decor and spectacular water views from almost every room. And Jonathan our host was professional, friendly and informative. A 10 out of 10 booking for sure!
We went as a group of 8 and had a fantastic time. The house and property are amazing. All of the rooms are oversized, large beds, so much room to spread out and relax. The location was great and peaceful. Would definitely stay again!
The property is perfect for a family vacation. The host provides all you need to stay entertained and enjoy the property. The small town near by is quaint and easy to access, and the community beaches are clean and very lityle traffic.
Extremely comfortable, well equipped home in a gorgeous location. Relaxing spot on the water with plenty of entertainment for all ages. Highly recommend.

From the owner: "Thank you for picking our place for your vacation, Margaret. We'd love to have you all back in the future."
My husband and I had a wonderful stay at this charming restored historic home. It had everything we needed and more. From cleanliness to comfort, incredibly spacious, and a view to die for!
This home is a wonderful mix of country charm and waterside views. We enjoyed all the amenities- kayaks, paddle boards, game room with ping pong table. Will definitely be back in the future!

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.

Thank you, Mindy. We are glad that you and your friends were able to meet in Mathews and stay in our house. Gloucester is a charming town to visit.
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!
The property was very nice! We love the house and the dock as well as all the fun games, fishing equipment and water activities found in the garage. It was very clean and all of my friends love it!

Jonathan thought of everything . The house had all the amenities of home. the view of the lake was incredible. The house was clean and there was more than enough room for 5 adults. We had a wonderful time and we would stay here again.
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).
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.
Everything was great! Property is amazing and the house is set up perfect for a family with ample room in every room. Amenities were an absolute plus, the owner takes great pride in this property and you will not be disappointed. Thanks again!!
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.

From the owner: "Thank you for your review, Sabra. We are happy that you and your friends were able to enjoy our property together. The glassed-in room is my favorite space in the house."
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.
We had a wonderful stay at this property. The house is centrally located, which made it convenient for both exploring the town and attending our family event.The home was spacious and well-equipped, with plenty of bathrooms to accommodate our group comfortably. The sunroom was a favorite spot—it provided a cozy, relaxing place for everyone to gather.The grounds are beautiful, with water on two sides creating a peaceful, scenic setting. There was plenty to do at the house, including a great selection of games like ping pong and foosball, which kept everyone entertained.The host was responsive and readily available, making the entire experience smooth and enjoyable. We highly recommend this property!
