Superb! Exceeded our expectations! We thoroughly enjoyed the pool, the accommodations, the view and the location. The house is very comfortable and very well equipped. The owner was easy to communicate with and readily available for information and questions. Definitely one of the best vacation rentals we have experienced.

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.

We thoroughly enjoyed our two-week stay at this beautiful North River cottage. The setting is peaceful and surrounded by nature, yet still conveniently located. The home is well appointed with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We spent our days catching crabs, swimming in the pool, and our nights under a stunning star-filled sky. Truly a relaxing and memorable escape!

This house was a perfect get away for our family! Sunsets were beautiful. The location was a little out of town which allowed us to relax but was only an hour away from Williamsburg and Bush Gardens. The near by towns had lots of really good restaurants. We also enjoyed trying our had catching and cooking the blue crabs. We would recommend this house!
We had a wonderful vacation with our 3 young kids. Crabbing, fishing, kayaking, pool, plus tons of games and puzzles inside. The days weren't long enough! The home is well kept and the views are beautiful. We saw sting rays, turtles, and lots of crabs! Would love to come back.

Check-in was easy and the house beautiful! The men and my 16 year old granddaughter loved the fishing and crabbing from the pier. We had fresh crabs daily.We were disappointed that our weather was chilly and wet the majority of the week so, we only used the pool once.Patti was excellent, she was very responsive and always helpful.

The house is very nice and beautiful view of the river. We appreciated the thoughtful amenities of well stocked kitchen and some toiletries. We enjoyed the town of Mathew’s and the closeness of historical sites.
We had a fabulous time staying at this beautiful river home! Everything was so lovingly decorated, clean and stocked with all our needs! We can't wait to return to the gorgeous setting with the incredible sunsets :) Thank you so much, Ms. Patti!

We had a fantastic time! The house was charming, well-maintained and more spacious than I thought it would be. We split our time between the pool, the dock and the screened-in back porch. The setting was lovely and quiet and exactly what we were looking for. The kitchen had everything we needed - we appreciated the spices and the Brita pitcher! They even had a crockpot, a blender, a juicer and a food processor - great things if you're going to cook at the house. Thank you for sharing your home with us!

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!

This home was lovely! It was exactly as described. We had a beautiful view of the North River. Sunsets were amazing!There was ample room in this house to be apart or together…sometimes it’s good to have a good place to read! We brought our boat and were most pleased to see a TidesClock. It was very helpful! The pool is small but fine for us. Very nice addition!The kitchen has more “kitchen needs” than many VRBO rentals. However, wish there was a cabinet or a couple of shelfs that renters could use for their own food items. We enjoyed our stay very much!
