Waterfront vacation rentals in Mathews County

My wife and I have stayed at The Fish House several times. It is a wonderful respite from our urban home life. A great place to relax and appreciate the Northern Neck lifestyle. We love it here!

Great stay in a nice, gated community! The space was comfortable and clean. The only thing was the coffee maker was a little touch and go. Not a big deal. We will be back when we’re back in the area!

This was our third stay at Clifton, so we and our 2 dogs obviously like staying there. The location is perfect for getting around Matthews as we continue to explore that part of the region. Very nice stay and we look forward to coming back. Bart and Sharon Cameron November 2024

Beautiful, spacious property with fantastic hosts. Home is extremely well kept inside and outside. Beautiful backyard with scenic views that are well maintained with flowers and seating. Comfortable beds with large bedrooms. Home is in a very nice neighborhood near many food options.

Wow! What a fabulous loft! Karin paid attention to every detail. The loft was well-stocked and had everything you need! Most impressive were the immaculate nature of the space and the VIEWS! The balcony was the best place for a morning cup of coffee...secluded, private, peaceful, and beautiful! This loft is brand new and so clean! Karin also allowed me to check out late and was an excellent communicator! Check in was easy and her directions were clear! Thanks for an amazing stay, Karin. I'll be booking next year, same time!

Amy and Andy are excellent hosts! I had so much fun. I was just a little disappointed in the wi-fi/internet connection but Andy is doing his best to correct it. This is my second time staying here and I will be coming back! I highly recommend it!

Erin’s place was the getaway that we definitely needed. We spent our time enjoying the sunsets (stunning pastel colors across the water), watching movies, cooking together, and had a nice meal at a local diner, too (which was recommended in the listing)! The place was so clean, well equipped, and very homey/comfortable. Being situated right on the beach, where in the mornings you can see all of the bay from the windows in the living room and kitchen. Erin was so personable and responsive which we so appreciated. She gave all the information you could need about not just the AirBnB, but the surroundings as well. We felt right at home. They have wonderful neighbors who we met on the beach one of the evenings. Everyone was just so friendly. They were enjoying a beach fire and we talked for a while about how amazing the area is. We have already decided we absolutely will be staying here again! This is the best kept secret quiet beach hideaway! My partner and I LOVED it!

Charming Cape Charles getaway! I was so happy to find this gem and even more thrilled when I arrived. From the beautiful landscape of the gated community, to the southern charm of this glorious suite…I wanted for nothing. This enormous suite has all the comforts of home and the location was spectacular. The property offered not only a private beach on the bay , a community pool, a beautiful well maintained golf course, it was also a short drive to the charming town of Cape Charles. Dawn offered endless advice to her favorite restaurants, activities to do and places to see while we visited. She was just a text or call away if I needed anything. Her hospitality was beyond measure. I look forward to coming back.

The home was easy to find and very clean. We loved the beachfront and peaceful surroundings. We've been to Gloucester before and it is a cute little place to explore and has what you need. I would definitely choose this airbnb again if in the area! Thank you for sharing!

Charles place is beautiful and the river view is amazing. Charles was very kind and very responsive. Beds were comfy and kitchen stocked. Plenty of room to be fellowship and have privacy when needed. Decor is nice and makes you feel welcomed & right at home. Charles place is great for a relaxing waterfront stay in VA, can’t wait to return for our next river stay.

Beautiful and peaceful location. The house had wonderful accommodations for all 5 of us. Itwas such a nice retreat after a busy holiday. We would definitely stay again!

Our family Thanksgiving was great! What a beautiful home with a breathtaking view of the water!! Just waking up each day with that beautiful sunrise over the water was wonderful to see. What a hidden gem! Everything you possibly have needed was provided in the home. The fireplace was very nice especially on those cold evenings! We can't wait to return! Thank you Brandon for opening up your home to my family. We all felt relaxed & right at home!! Thanks Again Nicholas & Crouch family

Absolutely lovely house on the water! Very well kept and all amenities were as described. Will definitely stay there again!

Stayed here for a weekend fishing trip. Everything was great! Very serene and beautiful surroundings, the house fully equipped with everything you need to go fishing. We even went out of our comfort zone and tried out the canoes. It was an all-around good experience. The location is not too far from beaches great restaurants, and also a casino. For a small intimate family gathering. The Host sent an extensive and well thought out list of everything you can think of, from to how to get there & what to do when you’re there also he was very responsive.

We had the best time! The home was even better than described. We loved having the beach so close, with everything we needed (chairs, toys, kayaks, etc). The house was so comfortable and we enjoyed making several large meals in the stocked kitchen. So private and peaceful. We’ll definitely be back!

This place felt right at home, it felt so peaceful here. The views from the wrap around porch are amazing so glad we booked this place, can’t wait to come back in the summer to really enjoy it!

Look no further… this place is amazing! The main living room / kitchen area is huge, comfortable, and gets TONS of natural light. The private elevated patio is a great place for breakfast or general lounging. Both bedrooms are spacious and well equipped with very comfortable beds. We thoroughly enjoyed being in the space! The location is excellent, right on the main drag close to all the restaurants and eateries. It’s also a very easy walk down to the pier or over to the Shanty. Khyber was very easy to communicate with and helped accommodate our little one. 5-stars all the way!

Lynn’s condo is beautiful and has a great view of the river. The bed is very comfy and the kitchen is well-equipped. We definitely appreciated having a coffee maker to make a full pot instead of the usual, one cup at a time, Keurig. Caleb and Lynn were very responsive. We hope to visit again soon.

Exactly as described. Nice location!

My sister and I stayed at Dave’s beautiful apartment - elegantly decorated, equipped with everything we needed in a quiet and park-like neighborhood only a short drive from the cultural and culinary offerings in Williamsburg. The space provided each couple with individual privacy. The common spaces are cozy and very comfortable. Easy check-in, well prepared. We had a wonderful stay- highly recommended!

Our visit was complete because we had an awesome and responsive host, Lynn. The airbnb was perfect and close to all our planned events. We were also able to get recommendations to restaurants and spas near by from host prior to our stay. Highly recommend and will be looking to rent stays here in the future.

We have a great stay, it was super close to Bush Gardens making it easy to come back in the middle of the day to relax and take the dogs out. It is on the upper floor but the stairs are not difficult at all. It was a very pet friendly neighborhood.

Jared's place was very comfortable and quiet, and I have to say the beds and pillows were perfect! We walked around the property one evening and got to see a gorgeous sunset over the James River. Very pleased with our stay.

Beautiful view and impeccably clean accommodations—just like the pictures! Had an amazing stay here. Would highly recommend and book again. Fantastic host!
