We had a great week on the island! Communication with the host was awesome. House was great. Had everything we needed for our stay and overall was very clean. We loved the convenience of the locatuon. You felt like you were so far away from everything because it was so peaceful but with just a short drive down the road you had everything at your fingertips! We had plans if spending a couple days at the waterpark and Busch Gardens and wow this is convenient. 20 to 25 min drive and your there which is really great after a long day. Then your only an hour from Virginia beach. Great fishing on the island. Hist was very kind and let us fish off their beautiful pier. The sunsets are amazing from there. Wish our weather was better so I could have enjoyed more of them. Overall great experience. Just make sure you bring bug spray. The mosquitoes are feirce but manageable.

House was great. aC is a little finicky and had to be repaired during our stay. Lots of ants and bugs. An exterminator should be called but overall the house is amazing. The mosquitoes prevent use of the amazing deck and the view but that is no fault of owners. Private boat launch was nice and it is very secluded, yet close to lots of attractions. We would stay again

This is the second occasion we have stayed at the cottage for a month and can’t wait to return again! Location is heavenly nothing better than sitting on the deck watching the wildlife in the garden and on the York river. The house is also very well situated for Williamsburg with all its attractions. A home from home with regard amenities. Donna and Mike are great hosts and are very responsive to their guests. Would not hesitate to recommend this home.

My husband, chihuahua and I stayed at the cottage for 4 days while in Virginia. We loved the view of the water from all the windows that allowed natural light in. We watched all the birds and crabs while sitting on the back porch. The location is great for visiting all the Historic areas. We took a segway tour and Ghost tour in Yorktown. We spent a whole day walking around in Williamsburg. Being a history buff my husband really enjoyed it. I even learned a few things. LOL I would recommend staying here if in the area.

We had a very enjoyable stay. Peaceful, quiet, tranquil. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Met with longtime friends for a getaway. The place isn't fancy, but we weren't looking for fancy, just a quiet hideout. Would stay again.

Perfect place to stay, we explored Jamestown, Colonial Williamsburg, Busch Gardens, Yorktown, and Norfolk. Cottage had everything you could want, decorations were perfect, kitchen had everything you could want. We sat in the sunroom every morning and drank coffee and watched all the birds out the window. The house also has a cool view of the Naval weapons base and we could watch the Navy ships come in to get loaded. If your thinking about staying here book it, It is an old house but that just adds to the charm!

We loved our stay here! It was a very private, very quiet island with easy access to so many things nearby! Everything was clean, worked well, and made us feel right at home. We would love to return and enjoy this cottage again! My morning coffee was just perfect as I enjoyed the serenity of the water and the gorgeous sunrise! Thank you again for a delightful stay in your cozy cottage!

It was nice with a beautiful morning view. It had Christmas decorations which was a very nice touch. I appreciated lights being on when we arrived because we arrived very late and that helped. One of the best stocked kitchens I ever rented out.

Traveling from Louisiana with our daughter, son-in-law and homeschooled grandkids, studying American history. Staying on an island was awesome! The view was stunning. Crossing the wooden bridge was nerve-wracking at first but so cool! The house was quaint and comfy, 15-30 min from everything we wanted to see. Kitchen had everything we needed and having laundry facilities allowed us to pack light. We would love to come back to stay again!

The home is on a little island with breathtaking views of the sunset and sunrise. My 17 year old son who never wakes early got up just to watch the sunrise. The home is very clean, comfortable and welcoming. The owners are within a text way if you need anything. I highly recommend this home and we look forward to going back again. Thank you!

My family our four loved our stay in this cottage. We were in the area for Busch gardens and colonial Williamsburg but wanted the peace and quiet when we weren't in the hustle and bustle. This was the perfect choice. The only downside was we didn't plan a long enough stay to enjoy the beautiful property. We are planning on returning to the area soon and will be booking this lovely cottage again. The owners are helpful and extremely hospitable. Thank you for sharing this gem!

This place is a dream. We both gasped when we drove onto the property, at the wide expanse of marsh and river in front of us. Ospreys and herons and egrets galore. The south-facing deck and sunroom take full advantage of the beautiful view, with many comfy seating options. The kitchen also looks out over the water. The beds are extremely comfortable. The big yard was great for our dog. All in all, we can't wait to come back!

First and foremost, I want to express our gratitude to the wonderful Hosts of this property. Couldn't have asked for better and caring communication. When I text them that our flight was delayed, they immediately thought of our comfort. Since we arrived after dark, they had all the lights on and made our entrance to the home super simple. Even though Tropical Storm Ophelia came through during our stay, we still enjoyed the experience of where the home was located, and they showed care and concern for our well-being. Not many hosts would have done what they did. The home is in a beautiful location and was convenient for where we wanted to visit. There was a grocery store right up the road and other amenities that made it easy for us. The beds were comfortable and there were plenty of dishes for even a large gathering. The views are outstanding out the back of the home. The only downside for us was the time of year and all the mosquitoes that were outside. So bring the bug spray. I would recommend this type of experience at least once (minus the Tropical Storm) and enjoy the beauty that surrounds this cute cottage.

Cozy island cottage that felt like a home away from home. Ample space for family of 5 and family dogs. Great location - only 15-25 minutes from the historic triangle and Busch Gardens. My family enjoyed fishing off the bridge and playing games in the cottage. We had a great stay!

This year rather than staying in out typical annual timeshare resort for our vacation to the Williamsburg area, we wanted to make it a bit different. This cottage both felt much more like a home to us and gave us all a chance to wind down much more. The views of the York River and estuaries all around us were so beautiful. The little crabs that scampered away when we walked near were adorable. The house was cozy and almost perfect for the four of us. The owners just down the road gave us space, but also were able to help us refill a bike tire that needed some air when we needed help! Overall, just a lovely stay in a very unique location (on an island) and cottage.

The cottage was quaint and had a nautical theme throughout. We were permitted to take our dog which was a plus. Staying on the island was so serene, quiet and beautiful and the constant breeze from the York River was relaxing. The sunsets were absolutely stunning. The owners of the cottage were very accommodating and pleasant. I would definitely recommend this place to my family and friends.
