Waterfront holiday rentals in Mathews County

The Fish House is a beautiful and comfortable place to stay! My husband & I found it to be quite spacious for 2 people. The location was perfect; we were there from Sunday-Wednesday, and it was quiet and peaceful the whole time. It was conveniently located to Irvington, White Stone and Kilmarnock and all those towns have to offer! The A/C is brand new, and very effective against the Virginia heat and humidity. The kitchen had all the essentials for preparing food, and we appreciated the coffee & tea supplies that were provided! The bed is comfortable and we slept well. We spent a lot of time on the deck overlooking the water. As a bird watcher, it was so relaxing to view the local wildlife with the binoculars provided. Michelle is a wonderful host! Her instructions are clear, and checking in and out was easy. She also answered all our questions promptly, and thoroughly. If you are looking for a quiet, peaceful getaway on the Northern Neck, stay at The Fish House!

Super safe and beautiful gated neighborhood. Gorgeous setting. Quick drive to all things Williamsburg. Thanks so much, Lisa!

My adult son said this was the best airbnb pick I'd made over the years! We rested AND had fun switching between pickleball, basketball, putting and kayaking. Kitchen was the perfect size and had all the basics for cooking a full meal. Beds were comfortable, roomy and every room had great views of the water and property. We loved everything about our stay

Anne's place was just spectacular! Perfect for 2 couples as our home-base to explore Williamsburg, Yorktown and Jamestown. The high end furnishings are beautiful. The patio, yard and lake view were wonderful. We enjoyed the theater room each night. Thank you for a great vacation.

Lovely setting and apartment! Host acknowledged our anniversary stay with a personal note and thoughtful details. We enjoyed using the kayaks. The space was clean and welcoming. The setting is so peaceful... lovely to hear the many birds and the sound of the water lapping against the rocks. The internet connection was slow, but not a detriment to our weekend. We thoroughly enjoyed the Front Porch Coffee House (Kilmarnock) and the Sandpiper Restaurant (White Stone) as well.

Spent two days for art show… easy access….tv service iffy, major buffering ….well decorated for a small efficiency. Enjoyed the view of the marina… setting on porch watching the Ospreys and Bald Eagle.

Erin was a great host even texting me a few times to see if I needed anything. Will return again for sure.

This was a lovely retreat with lots of nature and beautiful surroundings. Very friendly host who introduced us to her dogs. Highly recommend as a place to get away from it all!

Stayed with a toddler and a crawler in June. Leaving this review specifically for parents looking for the information I was looking for when we booked. The area is very nice/private, the water is shallow and perfect for littles! Water shoes are recommended as stated. The beach area is right outside the backyard, keep in mind this is a river and not the ocean so there are many bugs! For light sleepers there's also frogs in June. Our kids absolutely loved the water, there's sand to play in too, might have to clear an area from sea grass. Very little waves. The area/house is about 15 mins from anything so keep that in mind. We were thinking there would be more local restaurants and less chains but not really the case, at least not within 30 mins. We did a little more cooking than we hoped for, which the stove is touchy: front Lt burner is immediately hot, rt burner is barely working. Booster seat there in case you forget. Great home though, nice neighbors!

This is the second time I've stayed at Tamara's place and I would absolutely stay again. The place is exactly what you expect and they have excellent instructions. Wonderful people, peaceful location, and you always know what to expect.

Our family had a wonderful time with the beautiful setting. There were 7 of us and we fit comfortably.

We had a great couple of days together with our family. Really great place particularly for littles!

We so enjoyed our stay!! I frequent the Mathews area for a variety of reasons, but this was by far one of the most beautiful waterfront views I’ve seen at any place I’ve stayed. Buddy and Robin were extremely communicative and flexible— we were in town for a wedding with specific event timings and were able to check-in early to spruce up after travels. Which was SO helpful since some of our group had driven from Cleveland. We ended up spending quite a bit of time doing wedding activities out and about, but I crave coming back here and being able to relax at the beautiful pier and taking a kayak out. Would book again! The proximity to Bethel Beach should be a major selling point. It’s a wonderful walk with great birding opportunities!!

We had such a wonderful stay at this beautiful waterfront home! The house itself is spacious, thoughtfully designed, and perfect for a group getaway. The views are absolutely stunning—during our stay we saw dolphins right from the deck and even caught a rainbow over the water, which made the whole weekend feel magical. The kayaks were such a fun bonus and a great way to explore the peaceful surroundings. Inside, the home is clean, comfortable, and well-equipped with everything we needed. Brian was incredibly responsive and helpful from start to finish, which made the whole experience even better. I’d absolutely come back—this place is a gem!

Perfect location and place! We enjoyed our stay and had everything we needed. Our 8 year old loved the swing, his room, and exploring. We rode bikes, fished at the dock a couple houses down, he kayaked, and swam around the dock. Haven was a short drive away, as was town. We enjoy visiting Mathews, and this house made the trip even better. We hope to come back!

We had a wonderful girls weekend at this beachfront Airbnb! The location was quiet, peaceful, and perfect for relaxing. The home was well equipped with everything we needed—from a fully stocked kitchen to comfy outdoor seating. We couldn’t have asked for a better getaway spot!

Very nice place peaceful. We enjoyed the balcony. The place was close to everything. We really enjoyed our stay wle will definitely be back. The steps where a little to much but great overall.

We had a wonderful time in Cape Charles and it all started with this amazing condo. Perfect location, off street parking and CLEAN. The rooftop deck was a perfect start and end to the day.

Very peaceful and just what I needed!

The condo was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described! The host was very responsive when I messaged her. We only stayed one night for an event we were attending in Williamsburg, but this would be a very nice place to stay for longer period of time.

It was really good, I loved the view we had as well as all the things in the vicinity. The Spa, the room, the TV, the restaurants, the everything was great. I will definitely be reserving again in the near future.

Lovely stay. Kingsmill setting is beautiful. So much to do in Williamsburg area. Dave’s place was so comfortable, clean, well appointed and convenient to all.

Kingsmill is a naturally beautiful planned community where you could have lots of adventure and sport out of your back door with options for dining and exploration or you could just enjoy the beautiful views of the James River and the sounds of nature around you. Highly recommend for either!

Jared was an excellent host. The unit was exactly as described and very easy to find. He responded to all inquiries very quickly. This might have been our best Airbnb experience so far.
