Lounge and relax on the large L-shaped deck with two dining tables (bar height 4-seater overlooking the bay and a rectangular table with seating for up to seven) and lounging chairs with views of the Chesapeake Bay and salt pond. If you enjoy watching wildlife, keep an eye out for dolphins, osprey, sea turtles, muskrats, cranes, blue herons, eagles and an assortment of birds. The interior features a spacious and open floor plan with natural light, a large central skylight, fully equipped kitchen, dining table with seating for 10, three bedrooms and three full bathrooms.

In the garage you will find beach chairs and toys, beach umbrellas, noodles, PFDs, and a wagon to transport equipment to the beach. The private outdoor shower is perfect for rinsing off sand and salt after a long day (or evening) on the beach. The cottage is near the Gwynn's Island RV Resort in Mathews County, Virginia. Located a short 10-15 minute drive from the island is the small town of Mathews where you can enjoy casual and upscale dining, the local summer farmer's market, vintage and antique shops, and local art gallery. For nature lovers, Bethel Beach Natural Area Preserve and Haven Beach are beautiful spots to enjoy nature walks and wildlife. Colonial Williamsburg, Busch Gardens, Williamsburg Premium Outlets, Jamestown Settlement, and the Yorktown Battlefield Visitor Center are approximately 45 to 55 miles from the island. The picturesque town of Gloucester is an easy 30-minute drive with a variety of local shops and restaurants.
** Please note that three security cameras are located around the perimeter of the cottage for the security of our guests and the property.
