Lovely home on the water

My 2 sisters and I stayed for 4 nights. Beds were so comfortable, and we had everything we needed to make our stay a memorable one. Nice places to sit outside, and a long dock with benches made for great photos. We would definitely stay here again.

Property was amazing. In a quiet spot, with beautiful views, just the right distance from other amenities. Property is in great shape for being right on the water. The only thing I would add is heed the owner's warning to wear water shoes in the water, lots of oyster shells in there.

Another great stay at the Cottage!

Everything was great- from the comfortable furniture to the fully equipped kitchen (including the brand new refrigerator!) to the spectacular water views from every room. It is a delight to stay in this cottage and we look forward to returning!

Our favorite place to relax

This is our second stay here, and we love it so much! The house is super clean, fully stocked, and has all the essentials you might have forgotten at home! There is nothing more relaxing than sitting out in the hot tub overlooking the bay with a good book! We would recommend this house to anyone looking for a restful and relaxing getaway! We can’t wait to come back!

Virginia Get Away

One of the best vacation rental we have ever experienced. Great information prior to check in, easy checkout.Went on vacation with my husband and had a friend join us for the first few days. Very relaxing atmosphere and we loved watching the bird activity on the water and in the surrounding area. Great little town to explore as well as close to the Historic Triangle. No complaints, a very positive experience.We will definitely be back!!!

Didn’t want to leave!

I stay in many VRBO’s and this is by far my favorite! The pictures honestly don’t do this beautiful home justice! Between reading on the dock and hearing the water hit the rocks, to waking up and seeing the water from your bed. Cool evenings in the hot tub with a glass of wine and a good book is the icing on the cake for this gorgeous home!I can’t wait to come back!Absolute perfection!

Amazing Retreat!

Shannon's home is gorgeous. My husband and I had a fantastic time celebrating our anniversary here. The views are exquisite and the cottage is very comfortable. It was incredibly peaceful and relaxing. It feels remote and isolated but food and stores are only 15 minutes away! We can't wait to return!peaceful and very comfortable.

Views for days

Views views views! This place was unbelievably beautiful with the views from the windows. It was cold and rainy during our stay but that did not deter us from enjoying everything this place had to offer. From the hot tub downstairs to the main bedroom views it was fantastic. We went Saturday night just up the road to the Flat Iron Croasroads place for live music and it was great. The place was packed and the band was awesome. We will be booking again in the spring or summer for sure

Perfect Waterfront Sunsets

We had a great stay at the property - check-in was smooth, the propert was extremely clean and well appointed, and watching the sunset from the dock exceeded our expectations. The house was clean and well prepared for our arrival, the kitchen was well appointed, and all of the amenities worked as the shiuld and were user friendly. Next time we are looking to stay in the area this will be our first choice to reserve again.
