I cannot say enough about this place. The view, the sounds of nature, the peace and quiet, the pool, the rooftop lounge chairs, the birds - it all coalesced into one absolutely perfect weekend. There were so many places to sit and relax and take it all in, from the swingy chair inside to the dock to the poolside lounge chairs . My dog loved walking around the trees and the lake, and even the smell of the flowers was incredible. I rarely write reviews, but this place was so above and beyond perfect that I felt compelled to!!! They also leave toys and bowls and mats for dogs- which was such a sweet touch!

Impeccable and peaceful.
We booked the the Crab Shack for three nights just needing to get out of the city and our own four walls during this time of social distancing. It was just what we needed. I admire the little house for how simple and traditional it is (in some ways looks like the original from the photo from 100 years ago) but at the same time so comfortable, with so much outdoor space, decorated in simple good taste, and with everything you could possibly need. Especially liked having access to the kayaks. I wish we had brought our dog!

Gorgeous Getaway at Grandview
We could not have asked for a better long weekend away. The pictures are a true representation of the location and it is gorgeous!!
Prior to arriving, the owners were very communicative and helpful. After arriving they continued to be available if needed. A text I sent during our stay was immediately addressed.
The house is perfect for a couple. We relaxed and enjoyed the view inside and out via the Crow's Nest on top. The dock is accessible and a perfect way to start the day. The pool is a great place to cool down; we got a lot of use out of it as we stayed during the hottest days of the year so far! There is also a lovely hammock and a fun mini golf course on the property for guest use.
The Crabshack house itself is fully stocked, very neat, and has everything you need for a fun and relaxing stay. The guest wifi is very strong and we had no connection issues. We got take out from nearby Matthews, VA two nights and cooked full meals the other two nights. We used the gas grill one evening for a nice meal too!
The only thing I could have asked for was more time and maybe slightly cooler temps so we could have enjoyed the canoes on the dock a little more!!
Would stay again and would recommend to anyone!

Perfect Getaway
This was a great spot for a few days away from the city! There were lots of activities to do at the property, but it was also a perfect place to just relax! The house is really well equipped with cooking supplies and we really enjoyed grilling and eating dinner on the beautiful roof deck!

Great House and Location
The house was perfect, the roof deck and overall size of the kitchen and bedroom were great for two people and a dog. The house was very clean and very well stocked with everything you would need and more, we really didn't have to bring anything. The amenities were awesome, note some were shared so its not 'private' amenities, but we never had any issues with other renters and was nice to see other people around. The hosts were extremely nice and made sure everything was always perfect. Would definitely recommend!

5 Stars Hands Down!!
Karla and Dave are UNBELIEVABLY hosts!! The Crab Shack is perfect for a couple and their furry kid. If you are like my husband and I, our lab vacations with us. Karla and Dave has special touches for our furry child with a letter, a toy box, frozen water bowls so when it’s hot outside the water stays cool, dog treats and towels to use to dry off our dog after a swim. The place is extremely clean! For activities, they have crab pots and fishing rods to use, that all you need is to buy bait. The dock had a fish cleaning station, LL Bean Adirondack chairs that can hold your fishing rod so you can sit back and relax and enjoy the scenery. I could go on and on about how great the Crab Shack is and once more people find out about this gem, it will be hard to find availability.

We LOVED this place ! The host Karla was responsive to our every need. She provided extensive information of the place and the area prior to our stay, and a lovely welcome basket for our dog ! The place is immaculate and the pool is cool, inviting and spotless ! The grounds are meticulously taken care of. We used the kayaks and enjoyed the glorious views. We stayed a week, explored the area an enjoyed a quiet, relaxing vacation. We recommend this property!

Wonderful, boutique property
Nicely appointed cozy digs overlooking well manicured gardens. Lush Banana trees adorn this piece of heaven nestled on the banks of the put in creek, a short distance from the Mobjack bay. From kayaks to bicycles and crabpots to deck tops no detail has been overlooked by Karla and Dave. Including helmets and various sized life vests to comfy LL Bean seating with cushions on all decks and of course for “sitting on the dock of the bay”. Beautiful pool and pool area surrounded by canna lily and those BANANA trees. And don’t forget to play mini golf under the Kiwi tree!

Very nice getaway in a beautiful spot
The cottage was fully equipped and immaculately clean when we arrived. A lovely surprise was a bottle of Malbec that greeted us when we walked inside. The grounds are meticulously maintained and countless thoughtful touches within and without enhanced our stay. Great views (hence the name) and right on the water; we brought a classic wooden sailboat with us to join with some local friends in a casual Mobjack Bay regatta of sorts, the owners were able to accommodate us with dockage and we were able to launch at a watermen’s ramp just a couple of miles away. All in all a very successful stay

Wonderful New Year's at the Grandview on the Bay
My wife and our large lab had a wonderful New Year's stay at the Grandview on the Bay's crab shack cottage. Being right next to the water we had amazing views include breathtaking sunrises. Very pet friendly and had a chance to meet the Host's lab for play sessions with our dog. It was fun exploring and walking the 3+ acre site with our dog. The kitchen is well supplied and we enjoyed cooking our meals. We look forward to a return visit in the summer when we can enjoy the provided kayaks,the crow's nest on the top of the cottage and the gardens.

Great visit home
I grew up in Mathews county in the Mobjack area. This place offers a very unique opportunity to explore the surrounding area. Karla has everything you need in the house that you can imagine, helping make your stay feel like you are at home. Can't wait to return again with my family.
Sincerely,

A Slice of Heaven on the East River
The Crab Shack is wonderful for a quiet getaway. The house is immaculately kept and very well supplied. The grounds are a gardener's delight. The activity options are many: kayaking, crabbing, fishing, biking,mini-golf, pool lounging, and more! There is no real need to leave the property, but the town of Mathews provides quaint shops and good restaurants. You will leave rested and rejuvenated!

Charming, beautiful view and very clean
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Crab Shack. The yard and cabin are beautifully maintained. Karla and Dave make you feel as though you are in a good friend's home. We have had many wonderful VRBO experiences, but in every one we had to buy basic supplies and leave or throw them away. Seemed like everything we wanted was provided at the Crab Shack. Matt shared crabs from their dock trap and taught us to clean them. The cottage is an easy drive to Jamestown, Yorktown and Williamsburg. An eco tour with JC Hudgins, meals at Hole in the Wall and Richardson's and mornings and evenings on the roof top deck added to our perfect vacation.

オーナーについて
オーナー : Karla Scanlan
We (Dave and Karla) are the proud 'parents' of our yellow Lab, Skink, and the delighted uncle and aunt of ten nieces/nephews. Our labs have traveled w/us on vacations down to the Florida Keys and up to Bar Harbor (where we honeymooned three decades ago). All the kids in our lives regularly remind us how amazing the rural life is and how lucky we are to be so immersed in nature.
この宿泊施設のオーナーになった理由
In 1998, my husband Dave and I became the third owners of Grandview which was built in 1946 by master carpenter John Mason. At purchase, we found a hand made sign in the shed indicating that Mr Mason had named his home Grandview. We loved the name and kept it! After four years of being weekenders, we moved to Mathews permanently to enjoy the laid back life style. We now live at Grandview year round and are on site to provide local fishing expertise or help plan your trip to Mathews County. In early 2011, we renovated the original owner's cottage to create the Crab Shack as a stand alone vacation rental on our property, Grandview.
この宿泊施設の特徴
Grandview quickly works its magic on guests with its privacy, abundant nature and relaxation. The birdlife is simply amazing and on a clear night you can't believe the stars! From our pier you can catch crabs or fish. Dave's even caught a snapping turtle and a gar from the pier! Mathews County's culture is a bit like the Florida Keys (which we love) in that you quickly adapt to island time. You stop worrying about all your emails and to do lists and time is measured by meal time, cocktail time and nap time. Our double hammock swing poolside was purchased on our trip to Key West. We specialize in getting people to relax, take a deep breath and enjoy nature in all its glory. Mathews County doesn't even have a stoplight but we have 90 miles of water trails great for kayaking and boating and nine coastal trails that are part of Virginia's Birding & Wildlife Trails system. For bicyclists, the Tour de Chesapeake is held annually in Mathews offering bike routes of varying lengths.
