Comfortable Low Stress Getaway
This is our second stay at this home. The home provided enough room for our family of 5. Three young adults stayed in the second BR. And, we managed fine with the 1 Bath. The home is comfortable and provided a wonderful getaway. The home was stocked with all the things that we needed to enjoy our week on the island.

Beautiful cottage by the bay.
This is our third year staying at Dean and Cathy's rental cottage. Last year we stayed there during Hurricane Ian and this year during Tropical storm Ophelia, the cottage stood through both storms and we felt very safe during bith storms. We enjoyed our stay despite of the weather,we enjoyed locking at the beautiful water view from inside the cottage. Thank you Cathy and Dean for sharing your beautiful cottage, see you again next year.

This was our second stay and we loved it as much as the first time. The location is perfect and we’re in love with the island and Mathews. It’s the perfect place to disconnect and take a breath. The house had everything we needed and was very comfortable. Thank you for another great stay!

The location and house was perfect for me and my corgi. It was easy to find, clean, and absolutely perfect views of the bay. Only complaint is in the area there are very limited areas to eat out. Many listed were no longer in business.

Relaxing mini-vacation
We had an amazing time on the island over the long holiday weekend! The pictures on VRBO don’t give the house justice……it’s bright and inviting; super clean; things easy to find; and well stocked! More than enough space for two adults, two teenagers, and two dogs! Loved all of the extras in the shed, the kids even took the kayaks out on the one warm day we had. Spent as much time as we could on the upper deck, even if it required blankets! House was easy to access and Cathy and Dean were wonderful hosts! We know there is a lot of controversy right now with rental properties and cleaning expectations, so we wanted to make sure we pointed out that we were able to enjoy our stay right up to the last minute due to very minimal requirements for checking out. Can’t wait to enjoy another visit to the island!
