About this property
Sunsets on the Mobjack and East River! Bring your kayaks & bikes.
Quiet and secluded 3 bedroom/ 3 bath home located on the water in Port Haywood (five miles from downtown Mathews). Watch the beautiful sunsets from the backyard, screened porch, and large private dock. Fish, crab, or use the floating dock to launch kayaks or paddleboards. 2 night minimum stay required. All rentals require a rental agreement to be signed with a copy of the renters valid ID.
The home has 1 king bed, 1 queen bed, and one twin with a trundle. There is also a pullout couch in the den that converts to a double bed. The home comfortably sleeps six (2 of whom should be children in the twin trundle bed). The pullout sofa bed can sleep 1-2 more persons but will require the use of the den/family room as a bedroom, which will limit access to the back patio.
Unfortunately, boats, trailers, and RVs are not allowed on property. Guests can trailer their boats to local public ramps or marinas to launch and recover. We recommend guests who wish to bring boats as part of their visit contact a local marina for transient slip rentals (try Davis Creek Marina, 10 minutes from property; or Morningstar marina which is 15 minutes away). Note that at low tide, the water level in the cove prohibits even shallow draft boats from operating. Boats may run aground.
Home includes AC/Heat and whole house generator, newly renovated kitchen, gas range, washer/dryer, refrigerator, microwave, and cable/Wifi. A second stove is in the garage for steaming crabs caught off the dock!
Voted one of the top 50 small towns in America, Mathews County boasts not a single traffic light, but has an updated downtown area with shopping, dining, and art. Mathews and its environs have numerous recreational points of interest, including New Point Comfort Lighthouse, the historic Courthouse district, annual Market Days, weekly Farmers' Market, as well as numerous antique shops and unique restaurants. A 5 minute drive (or you can bike) takes you to Bethel Beach Nature Preserve and its unspoiled shoreline (perfect for walks in the morning or evening) located directly on the Chesapeake Bay.
Bring your bike! Mathews is known for its scenic byways and miles of Chesapeake Bay shoreline.
Your quiet retreat is here: close to Richmond, D.C., Williamsburg, Yorktown and Virginia Beach.

What makes this property unique
This home offers fantastic views of the Mobjack Bay at the mouth of the East River. In the evenings the patio, dock, and backyard are witness to some of the most beautiful sunsets you will ever see. There are hawks, bald eagles, and ospreys that all nest nearby. Our guests and friends from all over the country have commented on our home's wonderful setting and how quiet and peaceful it is. In season, there are blue crabs galore, and fish in abundance. This is a wonderful place to simply relax.
