Peaceful Waterfront Location

The home was just as pictured. It was spacious and clean. The location is remote and private but not too far from shopping. The water view is exceptional and you will certainly spend most of your time enjoying the view and waterfront location with abundant fish and crabs. We will definitely book again.

family thanksgiving

We have stayed at a lot of VRBOs and this one is among the best. It is clear that the owners want to provide a great experience for their guests, rather than just providing the bare minimum amenities as sometimes is the case. The property is beautifully situated on the water (beautiful sunrises and sunsets), well-maintained, stocked with lots of nice amenities (from crab traps to smart TVs to cornhole to triple-filtered water to firewood for the firepit to wireless internet to nice dining room with large table to accommodate 10 or 12 family members for meals, etc. etc. etc.). We enjoyed our stay very much and look forward to returning next year.

Great getaway!

The house was very clean and had everything we needed for our weekend stay. Check in was easy and we received a quick response when asking questions. We enjoyed the included kayaks and the kids loved catching crabs. The adults enjoyed sitting at the end of the dock and just relaxing. There's a food Lion about 15 minutes away and Haven Beach is about the same distance. We loved how quiet it was at the house and will definitely visit again soon!

Lovely house in a quiet and peaceful neighborhood, and the hosts are very accommodating. 5 minutes more or less from town that has grocery shopping, banks, a Post Office, and restaurants. This is our second visit and is on our favorites list. Looking forward to returning soon. Thank you, Buddy and Robin for sharing your awesome property with us.

About the host

Hosted by Buddy & Robin Thompson

Host profile image
My wife and I are enjoying this season of our life as grandparents and getting to watch the families of our children grow. We currently live in Richmond, VA and have been married for 32 years. We have two daughters, two son in laws, and two grandchildren. We are blessed and thankful.

Why they chose this property

Our family fell in love with Mathews County and this home in particular as soon as we found it. We love our time together here at what we have affectionately named "Robin's Nest." We all learned how to kayak here, our grandkids loves to chase the crabs and catch fish, and we always enjoy watching the sunsets and sunrises that are different every day. The large deck, amazing water views, and the fire-pit keep us outside most of the time. If we aren't riding the bikes or fishing, we may be playing corn hole or napping. You can see the Chesapeake Bay from the private pier and kayak to the Bay easily. When we want a beach day, there are two beaches just minutes from the house. The peace and serenity we feel here has to be experienced to fully appreciate.

When we are ready to go somewhere, the town of Mathews is only 12 minutes away with restaurants, museums, antique stores, farmers markets, and various other places including a grocery store. Gwinn's Island is just a few minutes further away. Williamsburg is only 55 minutes away with so many attractions of it's own: Water Country USA, Busch Gardens, Colonial Williamsburg, and tons of outlet stores and restaurants. Yorktown and Jamestown are also easy day trips that are well worth the time.

We look forward to every opportunity we can to be here. We hope you enjoy our home.

What makes this property unique

We wanted to make sure you can enjoy your time here the way we do so we have kayaks, a canoe, fishing equipment, corn hole boards, games, books, and movies for you to enjoy. We also have fiber optic wifi so you can stream your favorite movies or even work remotely and stay connected (if you need to). The water views and relaxing atmosphere are what make this property unique and such a great place to vacation.
