About this property

Beach House on Chesapeake Bay!

Bring your boat!

New 3 bedroom, 2 bath rental property on the Chesapeake Bay, VA and only 1 hour drive from Richmond and 2 hours from Charlottesville!

Professionally managed luxury residence on 7+ private acres with water access on both sides, boasting a private white sand beach and panoramic water views. Over 1,000 feet of boardwalk spanning the property with a brand new pier out over the water for swimming, fishing/crabbing, and boating!

The three bedroom home has an open concept kitchen/LR/DR with exceptional water views overlooking Milford Haven and the Chesapeake Bay.

Well appointed to host up to 8 guests, with 3 bedrooms consisting of one King, two Queens, and a twin over full bunk and two full bathrooms as well as a brand new cedar outdoor shower. Premium shampoo, conditioner, and face/body wash included.

Every attention to detail has been made to outfit the kitchen for the gourmet chef with professional quality cutlery and cookware. Additionally, there is a 5 burner gas grill for barbeques and a large firepit for cooking crab pots or just making smores.

The water surrounding the property is very warm and shallow with white sand underfoot and usually very calm - great for StandUp Paddleboarding, kayaking, or just lounging in it with the kids. Guests can arrange for SUPs and kayaks to be delivered to the home.

Featuring two newly built piers that span the property with decks at each end, there are plenty of areas to sit and relax by the water where you will occasionally spot pods of Bottlenose dolphins swim past. The area has incredible fishing for Striper, Spot, Spotted Trout, and Croaker as well as plenty of Blue crab and local oysters literally in the backyard.

Seafood lovers don't have to worry about catching their own, however, as there is a local fishmonger who sells everything you could want from his curbside trailer in downtown Mathews (5 miles away). Also in Mathews, you will find a Food Lion supermarket and a variety of restaurants and dining options ranging from casual like the pizza at Southwind to fine dining at the White Dog Bistro.

The home is equipped with a medical grade air purifier, WiFi broadband internet with exceptionally fast speed(400 mbps) for streaming and video conferencing as well as dedicated work space (desk) in the 2nd bedroom, and a brand new water system with a reverse osmosis drinking water tap.

Only a short 45 minute drive to Busch Gardens, Water Country, and downtown Williamsburg and an hour from Jamestown.

If you are looking for a peaceful, quiet and relaxing vacation on the water, look no further! This place is private and serenity abounds.

Family Getaway

We spent an early Thanksgiving here at Mike's beautiful home. Probably one of the most well equipped vacation homes we have ever visited. The setting is incredibly beautiful, private yet close to shopping and restaurants. definitely will be coming back.

Coastal Cottage on the Bay

Mathew’s is like home for me. I was not disappointed by this trip. We enjoyed Bay views, sitting on the deck and most importantly building community in the living room. What a great experience! I recommend this property for a couples getaway, families looking to getaway or a girls Trip.

Great Stay

Perfect trip- the house was well appointed with anything you could need. Our kids (and us) had a blast swimming, fishing, and crabbing. The house was exactly as listed, if not better in person. We are already thinking about our next stay!

Beautiful Property with All the Amenities

This place was a dream! The property was so beautiful and the house had all we needed and more. Our family had a great time! The beach area was much smaller than we were hoping (maybe from recent rains?) but the kids still had a blast. We enjoyed the fire pit and catching crabs right out of the bay. Terrible mosquitoes but we were prepared for that. Would definitely stay here again!

Awesome vacation in nature!

We absolutely loved this property! The house is gorgeous and very comfortable. The property is like vacationing in a private nature reserve, beautiful walk ways and so much wildlife to watch. When we went (mid July) we hardly saw or heard another person. It was absolutely beautiful and a great escape. Communication with the hosts was pleasant and quick. Really a fantastic place, thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us ❤️
