This place was amazing for our family. My boys absolutely love the water and fishing. They were on the dock the majority of the time. They enjoyed learning how to do crabbing and going out in the kayaks. If we venture back to Virginia, we will stay again!

Perfect place to relax and enjoy

House was the perfect choice for our family vacation!! The house itself is beautiful, clean, and had everything we needed. Just as nice as the pictures, if not better. We enjoyed hours of fun during the day on the dock fishing and crabbing. At night the fire pit was the perfect place to be. Would definitely recommend

The property is beautiful. The house was well kept and clean. The 4 teenage boys had plenty to do and kept busy kayaking and catching crabs. Minor plumbing issue was resolved quickly by hosts, who are very responsive. Wi-Fi is great but cell service is spotty. No bars. Actual phone calls were frequently dropped. Not a big issue, just something to know.

Peaceful Waterfront Location

The home was just as pictured. It was spacious and clean. The location is remote and private but not too far from shopping. The water view is exceptional and you will certainly spend most of your time enjoying the view and waterfront location with abundant fish and crabs. We will definitely book again.

Very Peaceful Vacation Home

Our family really enjoyed our stay and will return again. The house is very clean and well stocked. The water view and sunsets are incredible. Crabbing from the pier was really good giving us steam crabs and crab cakes each night from the crabpots at the end of the private pier.

Wonderful Waterside Retreat

The view is absolutely beautiful. The home is very nicely decorated and included everything we needed plus more! We enjoyed our stay immensely! We were surrounded by wild life yet it was a short 10 minute drive to town. 5 stars! I highly recommend a stay at Harbor House.

About the host

Hosted by Buddy & Robin Thompson

My wife and I are enjoying this season of our life as grandparents and getting to watch the families of our children grow. We currently live in Richmond, VA and have been married for 32 years. We have two daughters, two son in laws, and two grandchildren. We are blessed and thankful.

Why they chose this property

Our family fell in love with Mathews County and this home in particular as soon as we found it. We love our time together here at what we have affectionately named "Robin's Nest." We all learned how to kayak here, our grandkids loves to chase the crabs and catch fish, and we always enjoy watching the sunsets and sunrises that are different every day. The large deck, amazing water views, and the fire-pit keep us outside most of the time. If we aren't riding the bikes or fishing, we may be playing corn hole or napping. You can see the Chesapeake Bay from the private pier and kayak to the Bay easily. When we want a beach day, there are two beaches just minutes from the house. The peace and serenity we feel here has to be experienced to fully appreciate.

When we are ready to go somewhere, the town of Mathews is only 12 minutes away with restaurants, museums, antique stores, farmers markets, and various other places including a grocery store. Gwinn's Island is just a few minutes further away. Williamsburg is only 55 minutes away with so many attractions of it's own: Water Country USA, Busch Gardens, Colonial Williamsburg, and tons of outlet stores and restaurants. Yorktown and Jamestown are also easy day trips that are well worth the time.

We look forward to every opportunity we can to be here. We hope you enjoy our home.

What makes this property unique

We wanted to make sure you can enjoy your time here the way we do so we have kayaks, a canoe, fishing equipment, corn hole boards, games, books, and movies for you to enjoy. We also have fiber optic wifi so you can stream your favorite movies or even work remotely and stay connected (if you need to). The water views and relaxing atmosphere are what make this property unique and such a great place to vacation.
