Perfect place to relax and enjoy

House was the perfect choice for our family vacation!! The house itself is beautiful, clean, and had everything we needed. Just as nice as the pictures, if not better. We enjoyed hours of fun during the day on the dock fishing and crabbing. At night the fire pit was the perfect place to be. Would definitely recommend

I’m in the process of selling my home in northern Virginia and needed a place to get out of the way of the open house. This was a perfect retreat and food for the soul. Thanks so much.

Amazing place!

This house was amazing, clean and had everything we needed. The rooms were spacious and beds were very comfortable, the kitchen was very well equipped and the shed had lots of equipment to have lots of fun. You could spend days here just fishing, crabbing and swimming or kayaking, which is what we did. The area is quiet and the children could run around and play football. The hosts were lovely and communicated very well before and stater our stay. We couldn’t have wished for anything more and would highly recommend this house.

Relaxing Family Thanksgiving Getaway

A little trouble finding the place in the dark, but what a lovely home and amazing views. Everything we needed to cook our Thanksgiving dinner and serve our family. We enjoyed crabbing (caught 4, but let them go :)). We went kayaking, even though it was a little cold. The Inlaws loved it too, they came down for dinner! We also made a bonfire and cooked s'mores. Thank you for sharing your home and for the wonderful memories. Would come again if we are in the area!

Quiet and Peaceful

I had a 4 day long weekend with three other members of my family. We loved the house, it was very comfortable and had something for everyone. My 83 year old mother in-law could still manage the steps out in front of the house and she loved the walk in shower with the railings. Close enough to other places. We went to Yorktown beach and Colonial Williamsburg while we were there. Would go back again and definitely recommend. Fun watching the crabs scurry around after a rain too.

A Christmas experience — memories are forever

We gifted our adult children and our grandchildren a stay at your home, along with tickets to Busch gardens and cash to shop at the Williamsburg outlets. It was a win win!! The kids had a blast doing what they enjoyed and we were blessed to stay behind and babysit our 5mo grandson. The house was PERFECT! When everyone was at the house, we played games, watched tv, admired the views, enjoyed the fire pit l, complete with s’mores!! We are family of beach bums but didn’t want to travel far. I am so glad I found your awesome home. The sunsets were amazing. We had everything we could have possibly needed (down to sound machines in ea bedroom). Space was perfect, and we loved the location. We hope to return. Thank you for making key Christmas a memorable one. I trust the memories made will last forever.

This place was amazing for our family. My boys absolutely love the water and fishing. They were on the dock the majority of the time. They enjoyed learning how to do crabbing and going out in the kayaks. If we venture back to Virginia, we will stay again!

The property is beautiful. The house was well kept and clean. The 4 teenage boys had plenty to do and kept busy kayaking and catching crabs. Minor plumbing issue was resolved quickly by hosts, who are very responsive. Wi-Fi is great but cell service is spotty. No bars. Actual phone calls were frequently dropped. Not a big issue, just something to know.

family thanksgiving

We have stayed at a lot of VRBOs and this one is among the best. It is clear that the owners want to provide a great experience for their guests, rather than just providing the bare minimum amenities as sometimes is the case. The property is beautifully situated on the water (beautiful sunrises and sunsets), well-maintained, stocked with lots of nice amenities (from crab traps to smart TVs to cornhole to triple-filtered water to firewood for the firepit to wireless internet to nice dining room with large table to accommodate 10 or 12 family members for meals, etc. etc. etc.). We enjoyed our stay very much and look forward to returning next year.

Peaceful Waterfront Location

The home was just as pictured. It was spacious and clean. The location is remote and private but not too far from shopping. The water view is exceptional and you will certainly spend most of your time enjoying the view and waterfront location with abundant fish and crabs. We will definitely book again.

Great getaway!

The house was very clean and had everything we needed for our weekend stay. Check in was easy and we received a quick response when asking questions. We enjoyed the included kayaks and the kids loved catching crabs. The adults enjoyed sitting at the end of the dock and just relaxing. There's a food Lion about 15 minutes away and Haven Beach is about the same distance. We loved how quiet it was at the house and will definitely visit again soon!

About the host

Hosted by Buddy & Robin Thompson

Host profile image
My wife and I are enjoying this season of our life as grandparents and getting to watch the families of our children grow. We currently live in Richmond, VA and have been married for 32 years. We have two daughters, two son in laws, and two grandchildren. We are blessed and thankful.

Why they chose this property

Our family fell in love with Mathews County and this home in particular as soon as we found it. We love our time together here at what we have affectionately named "Robin's Nest." We all learned how to kayak here, our grandkids loves to chase the crabs and catch fish, and we always enjoy watching the sunsets and sunrises that are different every day. The large deck, amazing water views, and the fire-pit keep us outside most of the time. If we aren't riding the bikes or fishing, we may be playing corn hole or napping. You can see the Chesapeake Bay from the private pier and kayak to the Bay easily. When we want a beach day, there are two beaches just minutes from the house. The peace and serenity we feel here has to be experienced to fully appreciate.

When we are ready to go somewhere, the town of Mathews is only 12 minutes away with restaurants, museums, antique stores, farmers markets, and various other places including a grocery store. Gwinn's Island is just a few minutes further away. Williamsburg is only 55 minutes away with so many attractions of it's own: Water Country USA, Busch Gardens, Colonial Williamsburg, and tons of outlet stores and restaurants. Yorktown and Jamestown are also easy day trips that are well worth the time.

We look forward to every opportunity we can to be here. We hope you enjoy our home.

What makes this property unique

We wanted to make sure you can enjoy your time here the way we do so we have kayaks, a canoe, fishing equipment, corn hole boards, games, books, and movies for you to enjoy. We also have fiber optic wifi so you can stream your favorite movies or even work remotely and stay connected (if you need to). The water views and relaxing atmosphere are what make this property unique and such a great place to vacation.
