Waterfront Home w/ Views from Every Room – Wake Up to Bay Sunrises! Pet Friendly

Welcome to your waterfront escape in historic Mathews, Virginia! This bright, spacious 3-bedroom home sleeps up to 10 comfortably and was designed to maximize stunning water views — you can see Winter Haven Harbor from every single room in the house.
• Two private bedrooms with queen beds
• Fun bunk room with full-over-full bunks + a trundle twin
• Upstairs living room with two queen sleeper sofas
• 2 full bathrooms (both with tubs) and a tankless water heater for endless hot showers
Wake up to breathtaking sunrises over the water from the two open-loft bedrooms — no need to leave your bed to watch the sky turn pink! Huge windows and an open layout fill the home with natural light and constant bay views.
Step outside and you’re on your own private waterfront: fish, crab, or launch the provided kayaks right from the backyard. Evenings are magical around the large waterside fire pit — roast marshmallows while the sun sets over the bay.
Additional perks:
• Central heat & A/C + cozy gas fireplace
• Fast Wi-Fi and Smart TVs
• Fully equipped kitchen
• Washer/dryper
• Plenty of parking
Whether you’re a family looking for a classic Chesapeake Bay getaway, a group of friends wanting to kayak and unwind, or anglers chasing striped bass and cobia, this house is the perfect home base. You’ll feel miles away from everything… yet you’re still just minutes from Mathews’ charming downtown, restaurants, and marinas.
Come make memories on the water — we can’t wait to host you! Coming soon this summer a 100 ft dock!
