This was the 4th time we have rented this house. The house, location and surroundings are as beautiful this time as the 3 previous times we have stayed. There are Eagles and dolphins every day. We fished and caught a skate, a little shark, a couple of small fish and several pesky Blue Crabs. The location is remote but not far from shopping and activities. The neighbors are great and it is very peaceful. The house is completely equipped for all your needs. Spent a great deal of our time sitting on the screened in back porch. We love this place. Plan to book again next year.

Relax and enjoy the great view

This is the third time that we have stayed in this house. The house is well appointed and has almost everything you would need. The beds are so very comfortable. We enjoy the house being one floor so that we don’t have to worry about stairs.The little country store a few miles away from the house is a fun place to just stop and look around or pick up one or two items.We enjoy this house and the location

Great location for views, play, and solitude

Situated at the tip of Ware Neck, the house has commanding views of Monaco Bay and even out into the Chesapeake. A private beach makes it perfect for families. The area is steeped in history as Gloucester has several ‘oldest in Virginia’ claims, plus it’s close enough to Yorktown, Williamsburg, and Jamestown for day trips. Enjoy!

Spring break

No WiFi, was not working, otherwise would have been perfect. Beautiful place, peaceful and quiet, kids loved playing in the yard. Quite a ways from Williamsburg, though. Food in Gloucester was great.
