away from it all
Cottage was clean & well equipped. Cheri is an excellent host. She has overlooked nothing to make a getaway comfortable for her guests. My husband caught (& released) 10 red fish during our stay. Our pup enjoyed the beach area. The town is a short ride away & had a few little shops to browse thru. We enjoyed our stay & will be back.

Spring break stay
My family really enjoyed staying at this cottage for a spring break getaway. Everything was clean and comfortable, and it was so nice to see the small details that Cheri pays attention to such as stocking sugar and cream in the kitchen or toiletries in the bathroom. The beach was nice, and although the water was still too cold to play in, we did enjoy using the kayak and just relaxing outside. We will definitely be checking for availability here for future trips!

Perfect for our needs
Place was perfect for what we needed. Clean, comfy, close to water, convenient location, and wealth of information & amenities provided by owner. Our only issue was the numerous fees added by VRBO over the initial rental cost.

Charming and Immaculate!
Gwynns Island Cottage is a charming and immaculately clean rental! It is cozy and tastefully decorated and furnished. The entire cottage is well stocked with everything you could possibly need or want during your stay. The views and water and beach access are phenomenal! Cheri is a wonderful host and very easy to access and quick to reply.

Gwynn's Island Cottage Retreat
This was our third visit and we have never been disappointed in this cozy cottage with its awe-inspiring view of Hill's Bay. We love the solitude of this spot, especially since we bring along our two dogs. The woods adjoining the yard are a perfect place for the dogs to sniff and explore. Unfortunately, we didn't have the best weather, but this gave us time to unwind and relax. Area food is always a bonus and gave us a chance to poke around town. We got seafood to-go from The Seafood Shack and it was terrific. Sadly, the recent storm took out access to three of our favorite public beaches. Haven Beach was the only one we could walk. If restorations are made, Aaron's Beach, Bethel Beach, and the dock at White's Creek Lane are great places to visit around the town of Moon. As usual, the cottage was stocked with everything we needed - all of the necessities that make traveling lighter. Communications were great with Cheri, who is the best host of all time. Check in was a breeze and I can't say enough about the decor of the cottage. Thank you, Cheri, for making this our home away from home!

Exactly the vacation we hoped it would be.
Gwynn’s cottage is exactly as shown, no false advertising at all! We felt very much at home right away, and loved the expansive water and sunset views. We were visited by herons, eagles, dolphins, cormorants and lots of fish jumping out of the water. We enjoyed the kayak, the grill, and the sound of the lapping waves, otherwise very very quiet. The AC works very well, even in super hot weather. We cooked quite a bit and the kitchen had everything we needed. The hostess is exceptionally gracious and helpful. We discovered the Mariner’s Museum in Newport News, about an hour away which is incredible. We went twice and still didn’t see it all. Impressive place and only $1 fee! It also has a nice five mile woodsy trail around the lake at the museum. We enjoyed a private cruise with a working oyster man who showed us the sites and was fascinating to see them farming more And more of the bays with oysters which also helps clean up the many bays nearby. We will be back!

Great waterfront stay
Owner has obviously taken great strides to provide all the details you could ask for. We enjoyed the extra tidbits shared, like the history of the island. Very clean. Tasteful, simple decorations help provide a peaceful atmosphere. The deck overlooking the water is the perfect place to have coffee in the morning and stargaze at night.

Charming, Clean and Cozy!
This was our second summer spending a week at the cottage and we were counting the days, minutes and seconds until our return. Not only is the host Cheri phenomenal, her home is charming, clean and cozy! We (and our dog) enjoy the peace this property provides but with amazing restaurants close by. The private beach is everything and absolutely perfect for our dog who will relentlessly ask us to throw his ball in the water. The sunsets are truly breathtaking. Gwynn’s island and this cottage are hidden gems that allow you true relaxation! We could not ask for anything better and are so thankful Cheri shares this little slice of heaven!
