Waterfront retreat, perfect for your next getaway!
Escape to the quaint coastal town of Mathews in this charming 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath vacation rental cottage. Just renovated, super fresh with upscale furnishings, we have created a “home away from home” for complete tranquility. Enjoy waterfront views from every room. Spend your mornings sipping coffee on the covered porch watching herons glide around the creek. Throw the crab pots in to catch your evening bounty of blue crabs. Bring your boat and tie it up at our pier or enjoy our canoe and kayaks exploring Morris & Stutts Creek, minutes from the Chesapeake Bay. Fire up the grill and enjoy meals on the outdoor dining table. The evening sunsets are not to be missed on the front porch. On chilly evenings, relax in the Adirondack chairs in front of a toasty fire. We have puzzles and board games for a friendly round of family fun.
