Quiet and relaxing winter stay
Beautiful view of the water during the day and endless stars at night. The place was well stocked and provided everything we needed so we didn't even need to leave the house. It was a perfect getaway for a relaxing weekend. The host was very gracious and thoughtful. We'll definitely return in the future.

Endless Views
Beautifully situated within 30 feet of the water with great views of the Chesapeake Bay. Nicely furnished cottage, including well appreciated binoculars to view the ships and birds on the Bay. Very nice quiet streets to walk our dog during our November visit. Thank you Cathy and Dean!

Beautiful cottage by the bay.
This is our third year staying at Dean and Cathy's rental cottage. Last year we stayed there during Hurricane Ian and this year during Tropical storm Ophelia, the cottage stood through both storms and we felt very safe during bith storms. We enjoyed our stay despite of the weather,we enjoyed locking at the beautiful water view from inside the cottage. Thank you Cathy and Dean for sharing your beautiful cottage, see you again next year.

Second stay
This was our second stay and we loved it as much as the first time. The location is perfect and we’re in love with the island and Mathews. It’s the perfect place to disconnect and take a breath. The house had everything we needed and was very comfortable. Thank you for another great stay!

Peaceful getaway!
The location and house was perfect for me and my corgi. It was easy to find, clean, and absolutely perfect views of the bay. Only complaint is in the area there are very limited areas to eat out. Many listed were no longer in business.
