Small Town Getaway - close to in-town Mathews with a casual, rural life

Unwind at Small Town Getaway with a casual rural life. Keep it simple at this peaceful and centrally-located getaway. Take it easy in a small town and walk to art galleries & local restaurants, some including seafood, and drive to beaches etc. It's lively but quiet at the same time! Only an hour's drive to Historic Williamsburg, Jamestown, and Yorktown, or take the family into Busch Gardens for extra excitement!

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.

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.

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.

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. :)
