Overall this house met our needs as place for a quick breakfast and an evening landing spot. Very convenient to the quaint town and grocery store.

The home is super convenient and checked all the boxes for what we needed. Our only criticism is the living room furniture is old and not so comfort, and we had to pull in a chair from the kitchen for seating for everyone. The cost is very reasonable, so we weren’t expecting any luxuries.

Easy check in. Well supplied kitchen. House very clean and comfortable. Like staying at a friend's house. Quiet area even though close to "downtown" Mathews. Lots of towels, blankets if needed.

This was a perfect little getaway spot, 5 minutes from the beach. Mathews is a great little town with fantastic restaurants and people. The home has everything you need and the owner responds quickly to questions. She also owns/operates the Chinese restaurant in town about two minutes away. We tried that as well and it was wonderful! Would definitely recommend both the VRBO home and the restaurant. :)

This was the most lovely air b&b I have ever stayed at. It was cozy and beautifully decorated. There were spices and condiments provided. Everything was thought of. The location was perfect for our needs. We were within walking distance of the grocery store. The host was incredibly easy to work with. I would definitely rent from her again.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location
Professionally clean. Usual availability of kitchen items. , Dinnerware very good, could use a spatula. Bedding is fine and comfortable as are the bathrooms. Takes experimentation to operate the thermostat. Television is a mystery. Most stations require a subscription, making the TV variety very limited and almost unusable. Listing for a B&B should mention no breakfast served. Local restaurants excellent, and good variety of local shops. Overall, very comfortable and would consider re-use.

Ideal house for a small family visit. Property was very clean, tidy and comfortable. The kitchen was well provisioned. The hosts were quite gracious. Mathews "downtown" is just a gew steps away.
