Family and dog had a wonderful time at this off-the-beaten path waterfront gem. Great water access and beautiful views from the screened porch. Enjoyed crabbing, beach walks at nearby preserve, sunrises, quaint town w cute shops.

This is an ideal place for a large family or for two combined small families to have a relaxing vacation and to build memories. There is plenty of room especially outside, and you have to try hard to spot any other houses in the area. The owners give you a great head start from an impressive dock (with lights at night) to kayaks to crab traps to board games to screened in porches with plenty of rocking chairs to restaurant reviews/suggestions and an indoor fireplace to end the day. One small suggestion is to bring your own tackle box if you like to fish.

We got married earlier in the week and we took our kids on vacation to bond with one another. Before our arrival Bob (owner) notified us that there was an issue with the internet service and that the cable company was working on it. When the cable company didn’t have the repairs completed the next day, Bob drove down to Port Haywood to try to expedite the repairs. He even stayed over night at a local motel to make sure all the repairs were completed and we had Wifi. He went above and beyond to rectify the issue for us. As for the residence it was beautiful, clean, and tranquil. The view into the bay in the mornings when the sun was rising was spectacular. The house was well equipped with whatever one would need to enjoy their stay. We had the opportunity to enjoy the wildlife in the area, watching ospreys fly over the bay and the numerous crabs down by the dock kept the kids occupied. The local restaurants were very good also. Over all we had a great family bonding experience and would not hesitate to stay here again.

The house is gorgeous and has all the amenities you could need. The dock has amazing view of sunrise and sunset. The water connected to the property is extremely beginner friendly for learning to kayak or canoe. The water is very shallow and it has been unusually hot lately which had an effect on the fishing. Would recommend this location to anyone that wants a fun getaway with lots of potential for water activities

Beautiful place. Hosts thought of everything. We have stayed in many vrbos, but this one by far has everything you could need inside and out. we enjoyed sitting on the screened porch watching the sunrise. The pier catching blue crabs. No luck fishing. Our dog enjoyed chasing hermit crabs and the big yard. Mathews is cute town with adorable shops. People were friendly. Haven beach is small, water warm, dog friendly. New point comfort light house there is a pier you can see light house in distance. We did a fishing charter with Chesapeake chartes mark flanagan. Highly recommend. Caught spades, mackeral, cobia. Filled freezer with fish. We used the fully stocked kitchen quite a bit cooking our fish and blue crabs.food lion was located close by to get anything we needed. We did eat at richardsons cafe - good service, good food, and reasonably priced. Hole in wall was great food, but long wait times. I did find tick on my arm playing catch on the grass by the grills. Just fyi to check your people and dogs. I highly recommend this place if you are looking to relax and unwind. Thank you again for sharing your place.

This property was wonderful for a relaxing vacation. We enjoyed fishing and crabbing off of the private dock. Our dogs had a great time chasing sand crabs and playing in the big yard. The owners were quick to respond to any questions or problems. Would definitely go back!

My family of 6 (4 "kids" 23, 20, 19, 16) had a great getaway vacation. We like things away from tourist-y areas and a little out of the way and this did not disappoint! Crabbing, fishing, kayaking, porch-sitting, Mathews thrifting and shops, Richardson's ice cream, Haven and Bethel beach days and a lot of family games and play. Would definitely recommend!

Sun, water breezes, kayaking, delicious seafood and fabulous views of the Chesapeake bay
