Pet-friendly vacation rentals in Mathews County

The place was everything my family needed & then some. We had an amazing time & felt like we were at home! Would definitely stay again!

Beautiful and peaceful location. The house had wonderful accommodations for all 5 of us. Itwas such a nice retreat after a busy holiday. We would definitely stay again!

Bonita casa 🥰

This place was absolutely amazing! Everything you can think of was provided. The house was cozy and comfortable. Very clean and gorgeous views!

This was a beautiful, peaceful place to relax. We loved all the windows and views from every room as well as the location in Mathews. It was close to town where we enjoyed meals at Richardson's and White Dog. Being close to beaches with excellent walking was a plus for us. We were in Mathews to research family genealogy and had a successful search with the invaluable help of the genealogist at Mathews Library. William was a friendly and responsive host before, during and after our stay and helpfully arranged for warm, sunny weather during our whole stay.

We had a wedding to attend with 13 family members and a dog. The placement of bedrooms gave us the flexibility to accommodate everyone comfortably. The two and a half bathrooms made it nice with so many. We loved the porch on the second floor with the great view of the bay, but it rained the only day we could have used it. The kitchen was well stocked with items to make breakfast for all. Everyone loved this place and would recommend to everyone.

This is a great place to get away from it all. It has beautiful views of the water from almost every room in the house. the kitchen was well equipped for cooking & socializing at the same time. The neighborhood was very quiet and it was easy to get to the community beaches & docks.

I've been renting on Airbnb for many years. I can honestly say this is the cleanest rental we have ever stayed in. Everything was pristine including the pots and pans. The rental was stocked with everything you would need for an enjoyable vacation including a wonderful coffee station. There were so many movies, board games, kayaks and toys. The views of the bay were incredible! Every morning we would sit on the porch and watch the herons, geese and swans. A couple of times, I had a question and texted the owner. The response was immediate! The townspeople in Mathews County were equally friendly, polite and courteous. We used all the owners' recommendations. I could not say enough good things about this rental and town. We had a wonderful stay and would love to come back again.

This Airbnb was very convenient to Severn Yachting Center. We were able to work on our boat all day and enjoy being in a home at night. The area is beautiful and peaceful. Super safe area that is right on the water! Communication with owner was top notch! Highly recommend staying here!!!

The Laughing King (and the Honeymoon Island Cottage in particular) were fantastic! A wonderful quick getaway from DC for couples. The property is gorgeous - a farm with a historic old house that is the main lodge, surrounded by hundred-year-old oak trees, a standalone cottage (that we stayed in for 3 nights), open fields, a saltwater pool, and private beach with dock and a boat and SUPs for guest use. MJ serves up gourmet breakfasts (eggs Benedict, avocado toast, French toast, quiche, etc. over the course of our stay) + coffee in the morning and also dished out recommendations on local spots to visit. 100% will be back!

The place is perfect for a group. Comfortable rooms, kitchen and couch area. Add in the games room and you have everything you need for fun nights. We were in the area for a sports competition and this location is only 10 minutes away.

We loved our stay at the Rosé Retreat and are so sad to leave! The place was spacious and beautiful- we felt right at home. The surroundings were so peaceful and serene. Roxanne and Tara were very responsive and helpful. This was the perfect place for our family to spend a fun weekend together. When we come back to Irvington, we will absolutely stay at the Rosé Retreat again!

We were in town for our son’s wedding and enjoyed our stay very much. Jason responded quickly to the few questions we had. We would definitely stay again.

My bf and I stayed here for 2 nights and had the best time. We’re looking to get an RV/ Travel van for ourselves so it kinda gave us an idea of what that would look like ☺️ We traveled to this Dog Park in Kilamarnock about 20 mins from the Rv and got burgers and lobster rolls in town at Small Town Burger (kinda pricey but their curly fries cooked in beef tallow was amazing). We spent most of the day just walking our pup around and basking in the sun. It was a peaceful stay, we will definitely be back.

Our only complaint is we wish our stay could have been longer! Gorgeous views, lovely home and so many thoughtful details for guests. 10/10, no notes. We felt right at home and will stay here next time we’re in the area for sure!

This is our second, and not last, stay with Thomas. His place is immaculate and gorgeously decorated. And he’s the perfect host - accessible and never intrusive. He leaves thoughtful gifts and is just a great guy. We love the quiet, the pool, the lovely yard, and the beautiful walks around the place.

Great house to stay. Very clean. Golf cart is a must. Don't have to walk anywhere. We will stay here again or maybe his other house on the island. 😁

My parents and I stayed here for four days. It was the perfect peaceful getaway for us. The place was really cute, two bedrooms with queen size beds, a large bathroom, and the cutest kitchen-living room area. Gloucester is a sweet town to hang out in, and the host gave some great recommendations for local places to check out. Wonderful place, we will be coming back!!

Chip & Courtney are great host that had no trouble communicating with my group & I. They too had a binder/folder with simple and easy house rules along with things to do around the area. The home itself was very spacious, clean and beautiful. We felt right at home. Thanks so much for having us once again 😌

We love this house! Our dogs love to sit in outside porch and they have lots of room to play outside.

I almost don't want to write this review because this place is THE gem amongst hidden gems that I selfishly want to keep under the radar, but Ian is such a great guy, I feel compelled to help bring attention to his beautiful property. He is also a phenomenal host that will make sure to accommodate whatever your plans are. If you want to be left alone then you will never see or hear from him, but if you need something he will take care of ya immediately. As for the sites, they are absolutely top tier. Super clean, well furnished, and blissfully peaceful. The beach is a quick walk or ride away and even though it's technically not a private beach, it may as well be. Just go stay and you'll only be thinking about planning your next trip back! Thanks again Ian! See you in a few months my friend!

Space was great for our family and larger than depicted in photos. Access to the beach was easy and stunning.

This spot is one of my favorite airbnbs so far. My bf and l learned how to fish and catch crabs for the first time and we had so much fun. It was pretty private and the views were great. I highly recommend this place.

Our trip to The Half Shell Haven was great! The place was clean, extremely well stocked, and included many extras! We had crazy weather the first two days, but we had plenty to do at the house. My boys loved being on the water and the game room and my daughter loved the hot tub and bicycling. My daughters service dog enjoyed a nice reprieve and seemed so happy. We had a great time, and were honestly sad to go! If we find ourselves back up in Virginia we will definitely stay here! Thank you for the care and attention to detail to ensure a great trip!
