Perfect for a family vacation!

This house was a very nice house to rent for a family vacation. The house was very clean and pretty. The pool is very big, and clean also. And we loved fishing on our personal fishing pier every day! We also found good restaurants to go to in town every night.

Lovely stay!

Our family of 4 and our 2 friends absolutely loved the house! We spent each day in the pool, fishing, kayaking, hanging out in the screened in porch, and relaxing in the room overlooking the water. I the location was great, easy drive to Mathew’s for groceries, ice cream, and dinner. Great communication with the host, easy check-in and home was just as the pictures show. We can’t wait to return!

Had the most amazing vacation! Woke up every morning to a few crabs in the pot caught stingrays, sea trout, saw turtles, dolphins and bald eagles. Went kayaking, enjoyed the pool, went to the cute town of Mathew’s and enjoyed some local resultants. Will definitely be booking another trip soon!

Wonderful trip to Mathews County, VA

Beautiful, well kept home directly on the North River. Very comfortable and well appointed. The views are amazing and the sunsets gorgeous. Pool and dock are very nice and we loved the screened porch. The owner is great to work with and the reservation process is easy. We had a wonderful, relaxing time here; just not enough time!

Beautiful Sunsets

We had a nice vacation at this house. The pier was our favorite spot and we caught a lot of fish including a small shark! The pool was nice, but around 20 small crabs would get in there every night so we would spend a lot of time catching them before we could swim. We loved the little town of Matthews and ate their often.

Hidden Gem

We were looking for a property to relax and recharge as a family. This was perfect! It was very clean and well stocked with supplies. The neighborhood was so quiet; we felt as if we were the only ones there. The kids loved the pool and looking at fish and crabs on the dock. Highly recommend!

Labor Day Break

The property was lovely-very peaceful and quiet, with a lot of bird life. The boys fished off of kayaks and off of the dock, and my husband caught a huge red drum. We used the crab traps. Swam in the pool. The nicest vacation we have had in some time.

A Little Piece of Heaven

We absolutely loved this rental and hope to rent it again. The photos don't do it justice. The river is peaceful and the sunsets are spectacular. The pool is perfect to take a dip in after soaking up rays on the water while fishing for crab. If you are looking for quiet, views, water and a beautiful home, this is the place to go.

Perfect vacation!!

Once again, we had a wonderful vacation. Actually, we can hardly believe it is over. This year, we only left the house to get bait, restock grocery items and take the trash away. Our family fished and crabbed at the dock for hours every day and we also used the pool for hours each day. The weather was perfect. Hopefully, we will be able to return next summer.

Beautiful home and perfect location on the bay. Loved the dock!

We had a water problem but the owner was very prompt in getting it corrected. Our only suggestion would be to supply the bed linens and bathroom towels. We found that unusual for a VRBO property and was inconvenient. Loved the kayaks! Home was perfect for our family's needs.

Relaxing on the Rivah

Turtle, osprey heron and egret. No crabs. Iffy mattress on the upstairs queen and a little more detail about what linens to bring. Really nice place otherwise and lots of fun with family.

WONDERFUL VACATION!

We have stayed at Puerto Del Sol many times, and we absolutely love it. Most of our time is spent relaxing on the dock and at the pool. The house is clean and welcoming. The kitchen is very well-stocked with cookware. We rarely venture out with the exception of the grocery store, but the town of Mathews is so charming and this year we spent a day shopping and visiting antique stores. We ate lunch at Richardson's and thoroughly enjoyed our day. Patti is terrific and the only thing we would change is being able to stay longer.
