Chesapeake Bay Waterfront Cottage Pool, Pier, Kayaks, Wifi 2 Bd/2 Ba, Mini Golf

At Grandview on the Bay, we have two pet-friendly cottages designed to provide the ultimate for comfort and relaxation on Mathews County’s Chesapeake Bay VA: the Fish House and the Crab Shack (separate rental cottage which is 1 bedroom/1 bath). We’ve spent over a decade designing and renovating our property Grandview to give guests impeccable access to nature, relaxation and privacy. Located in Mathews County, voted one of the coolest small towns in America, the Fish House has a maximum occupancy of four persons (minimum age of six for children or non-crawling infants allowed). The cottage is pet-friendly, simply select # of pets in reservation filter to let us know you are bringing pets & for the reservation to include the applicable pet fee ($75 for up to two dogs).Eclectic art and decorations throughout the cottage showcase talented local artists as well as our love of the Florida Keys and some pieces from memory lane. The second level of the cottage contains your master bedroom with a king-size Sleep Number bed and balcony, a second bedroom with twin beds and a full size bathroom. The first level offers an open concept gourmet kitchen and living room area with a leather sofa to sink into while enjoying the large screen flat panel tv, featuring satellite tv. Love to cook? Master Chef Karla designed the gourmet kitchen with cooks in mind. Chill & grill with a gas grill, and two swings located underneath the cottage in the patio area. The cottage is elevated on concrete pilings to maximize views so guests must climb exterior stairs to get to first level. The interior staircase to the second level is a wooden, spiral staircase. There are also full size exterior stairs to the second level. Both bathrooms have showers (no bath tub).As this is a shared property, no additional day or overnight guests are permitted (other than those listed in reservation). Guests of the Fish House and the Crab Shack share the property amenities with each other and us: two tandem kayaks, swimming pool (in season), five hole mini-golf course with patio area, the pier and floating pier for easy launch of kayaks and reading and lounge chairs throughout the property. Also each cottage has two adult bikes and Weber gas grill available for private use. As always, we ask guests to be mindful and courteous within shared spaces.We wanted Grandview to be dog-friendly as we love taking our dogs on vacation with us. Living on the property with us is our 9 year old neutered male labrador retriever. Both rental cottages on the property are dog-friendly so your pups are certainly welcome provided they are okay with other dogs. To make sure all Grandview guests enjoy their stay we ask that you observe a few pet rules covered in the reservation agreement.What would vacation be without swimming! Refresh yourself at our swimming pool with bar area, double hammock swing, loungers, rocking chairs and outdoor shower. Can’t get enough of the water view then try your hand at good ole fashioned crabbing with chicken legs and strings on the pier or relax in the Adirondack chairs while the crab pots do the work for you. Quiet time abounds as well so relax in one of our reading areas or just kick back and rest in the lounge chairs located throughout the property. Bird watchers love viewing dozens of water fowl and bird species including our resident heron, egret and osprey. Stroll around the pathways and enjoy our wildlife and gardens with coastal landscaping. If you want to try an adventure, take our kayaks for a paddle and our bikes for a spin.If you want some sand in your toes, we are a short drive from Haven Beach and Bethel Beach in Mathews with great birding, shell gathering, strolling. If you’re looking for a day trip, we are an hour away from Colonial Williamsburg & Busch Gardens, Yorktown and horse racing at Colonial Downs. We are centrally located between Virginia Beach and Washington DC and a mere 90 minutes from Richmond.While smoking is not permitted in the cottage, guests are permitted to smoke outdoors in approved areas. Spend less time packing and more time playing! At Grandview, we provide many items that other rentals make you bring or rent. Let us know how we can make your time in Mathews County GRAND!
