away from it all
Cottage was clean & well equipped. Cheri is an excellent host. She has overlooked nothing to make a getaway comfortable for her guests. My husband caught (& released) 10 red fish during our stay. Our pup enjoyed the beach area. The town is a short ride away & had a few little shops to browse thru. We enjoyed our stay & will be back.

Spring break stay
My family really enjoyed staying at this cottage for a spring break getaway. Everything was clean and comfortable, and it was so nice to see the small details that Cheri pays attention to such as stocking sugar and cream in the kitchen or toiletries in the bathroom. The beach was nice, and although the water was still too cold to play in, we did enjoy using the kayak and just relaxing outside. We will definitely be checking for availability here for future trips!

Gwynns Island Cottage is a charming and immaculately clean rental! It is cozy and tastefully decorated and furnished. The entire cottage is well stocked with everything you could possibly need or want during your stay. The views and water and beach access are phenomenal! Cheri is a wonderful host and very easy to access and quick to reply.

Gwynn's Island Cottage Retreat
This was our third visit and we have never been disappointed in this cozy cottage with its awe-inspiring view of Hill's Bay. We love the solitude of this spot, especially since we bring along our two dogs. The woods adjoining the yard are a perfect place for the dogs to sniff and explore. Unfortunately, we didn't have the best weather, but this gave us time to unwind and relax. Area food is always a bonus and gave us a chance to poke around town. We got seafood to-go from The Seafood Shack and it was terrific. Sadly, the recent storm took out access to three of our favorite public beaches. Haven Beach was the only one we could walk. If restorations are made, Aaron's Beach, Bethel Beach, and the dock at White's Creek Lane are great places to visit around the town of Moon. As usual, the cottage was stocked with everything we needed - all of the necessities that make traveling lighter. Communications were great with Cheri, who is the best host of all time. Check in was a breeze and I can't say enough about the decor of the cottage. Thank you, Cheri, for making this our home away from home!

Exactly the vacation we hoped it would be.
Gwynn’s cottage is exactly as shown, no false advertising at all! We felt very much at home right away, and loved the expansive water and sunset views. We were visited by herons, eagles, dolphins, cormorants and lots of fish jumping out of the water. We enjoyed the kayak, the grill, and the sound of the lapping waves, otherwise very very quiet. The AC works very well, even in super hot weather. We cooked quite a bit and the kitchen had everything we needed. The hostess is exceptionally gracious and helpful. We discovered the Mariner’s Museum in Newport News, about an hour away which is incredible. We went twice and still didn’t see it all. Impressive place and only $1 fee! It also has a nice five mile woodsy trail around the lake at the museum. We enjoyed a private cruise with a working oyster man who showed us the sites and was fascinating to see them farming more And more of the bays with oysters which also helps clean up the many bays nearby. We will be back!

Owner has obviously taken great strides to provide all the details you could ask for. We enjoyed the extra tidbits shared, like the history of the island. Very clean.

This was our second summer spending a week at the cottage and we were counting the days, minutes and seconds until our return. Not only is the host Cheri phenomenal, her home is charming, clean and cozy! We (and our dog) enjoy the peace this property provides but with amazing restaurants close by. The private beach is everything and absolutely perfect for our dog who will relentlessly ask us to throw his ball in the water. The sunsets are truly breathtaking. Gwynn’s island and this cottage are hidden gems that allow you true relaxation! We could not ask for anything better and are so thankful Cheri shares this little slice of heaven!

An absolute gem
Our family was so sad to leave this vacation home. We love to go to places a little more off the beaten path. Gwynn Island and Mathew’s had all of the amenities close by with a feel a being away in a little slice of paradise. The home itself is very well laid out and thought out. I appreciate all the details that went into the art, labels on items, functionality, and simplicity. The home was clean when we arrived. The beach and the bag was incredible. Our boys- 10 and 7 crabbed, fished, paddle boarded, swam, kayaked, and played on the beach. They found a horseshoe crab shell in the woods and caught blue crab. Our dog loved her best life on the beach and the grass. Lots of space for her to be with us. Communication with Cheri was great. And I absolutely appreciated the information about the area like groceries and restaurants ahead of time. This is at the top of our list of best vacations!

Wonderful Bay Retreat at Grimstead
We first chose this cottage on Hill’s Bay for a trip in 2022 because of its solitude and private beach, in addition we could bring our dogs, which was a top priority for us. Because of how wonderfully that trip went, we booked our second visit in April, 2023 and could not have been more pleased. The host, Cheri, pays so much attention to detail, a stay in her charming cottage is restful, invigorating, and fun, no matter what the weather. Besides a beautifully decorated and outfitted living environment, the view of the bay provides a never-ending waterscape to observe. Cheri stocks the cottage with books, games, internet access and more, if you choose to stay inside. Outside, a shed full of water equipment provides recreational opportunities on the bay. We tried out the kayaks and paddleboard with our pups and had so much fun! Communications with Cheri were excellent and I was amazed with how easy check in and out went. A small parcel of woods at one side of the cottage provided us with nature-viewing opportunities and a place to walk the dogs. We loved every minute of our stay, from the cottage life to visits to local beaches such as Aaron and Haven Beaches. Local restaurants in the town of Matthew’s have awesome food, no matter what your cravings and small shops throughout the area make shopping fun. The local history also plays a prominent role in this area. If you visit, be sure to bring a camera to capture images of wildlife, nautical scenery, and the most amazing sunsets! We’ll be back again most certainly and would recommend this spot to families as well as couples and individuals. Make your memories here!

Gwynn’s Island Paradise
We picked this cottage as our getaway because it was pet friendly and on the water. We couldn’t have been more pleased! The cottage was immaculate and very tastefully decorated with beach-themed art. We loved the art guide provided by the host. The cottage came alive as a little art gallery once we learned the details. Everything we needed for our stay was there and at our fingertips. The owner went beyond the ordinary to provide us with necessities as well as little extras. (Thanks for those M&Ms in the kitchen!) The additional wooded lot gave us a great place to walk our dogs. Sadly, it was too wet and cold to go on the water but we will try out the water toys if we come back in the warm season. The furnishings were comfy and we even made use of the scrabble game in the game closet. The kitchen was well stocked with all the dinnerware we needed and we found a great selection of restaurants in the town of Mathews. Wonderful wildlife watching at the cottage (dolphins right out front!) and at nearby Bethel Beach, Aaron’s Beach and Haven Beach. Sailboats lined up out front to anchor overnight before heading to Maryland for the annual downrigging festival. We watched their lights bobbing out on the water, then they disappeared in the next morning’s fog. Communications with the host were excellent. All in all, we had a wonderful experience at Gwynn’s Island and hope to vacation there again.

The home is lovely with everything you could need, especially in a post-hurricane stormy weather. Although we were not able to take advantage of the beach, yard or outdoor amenities, there was plenty to occupy our time inside.

We absolutely loved the location and private beach! The cottage is well maintained with quality linens, towels and furniture. It was clean, overall. I love that my dog was treated as a guest as well, with waste bags provided for easy clean up and even a selection of doggy towels! We were not able to get the Dish Network to work, and the tv buffered frequently, but we didn’t care about that much since we spent most of our moments outside enjoying the ample water toys provided and beautiful sunsets! One of my highlights was actually rescuing the horseshoe crabs that washed up early each morning! We really unplugged for the week, and enjoyed the leisurely island life! I hope to visit the museum next time, as I enjoyed learning about the history of the island too!

Comfy cottage
My husband and I enjoyed a short vacation with our two labs at this quaint waterfront cottage. The house was immaculate, nicely decorated, with very comfortable furnishings. We did not get to use the water toys/boats as it was extremely windy, and choppy, but we did enjoy the nearby public beaches, especially Bethel Beach - which we had to ourselves for two days!! Communication with Cheri was excellent and easy.
