Holiday rentals with lake access in Surry County

We made wonderful memories at this beautiful place. Would definitely recommend!

My family and I enjoyed this place very much and plan to come back for our anniversary . It was very peaceful although some of the neighbors were doing some type of drill work late at night and startled our sleeping 2 year old . Other than that I felt at home #countrygirl

Overall this was a great experience, & even with the max amount of guests (6 total) we generally had a lot of space; places to sit & relax; & all felt very comfortable. The view of the lake was also incredible & the amenities provided were top notch. The only criticism I would give is that the listing seems a little misleading about the building being a standalone house vs the town home/condo style house that it actually is. This wasn’t a huge issue but it seems fair to note as the parking was a little confusing once we realized that it was a town house with a parking lot, rather than a standalone one with a driveway. To be fair we did have the max amount of guests & according to Jason this was out of the norm; & Jason did do his best to communicate in finding places to park- but I feel that if there’s any hesitation he might have of that many people being there then the listing may need to be made more clear. Overall though we had a great time & enjoyed the view most of all.

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!!

There may not be enough space to describe this home. It far exceeded my expectations. It offered every comfort of home. Everything I brought with me to make the stay comfortable, they already supplied. You name it, they had it. The house was beautifully decorated with far more space than depicted in the pictures. The living room is far more spacious than expected. We wanted for nothing. The responsiveness of the host may be the best I’ve ever experienced. We had a snafu with the thermostat. Not only was there a quick response to our inquiry, a technician arrived w/i 30 mins and quickly resolved the issue. The technician explained what the problem was and stayed long enough to make sure his “fix” truly resolved the issue. Those accompanying me during the stay kept raving about the home. It truly felt like home with ample dishes, almost every kitchen appliance imaginable, comfy beds, beautiful decor, a stunning setting, ample space and great communication. Well Done!

My family and I had an absolutely wonderful stay at Jessica's place! From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by how beautiful and spacious the home and property were. Plenty of room for us all to celebrate my Mother’s 60th. We thoroughly enjoyed karaoke in the theater room, and soaking up some midday sun on the deck. There were so many fantastic amenities that we barely scratched the surface—definitely a reason to come back for a longer visit! Jessica was an amazing host, always quick to respond to our questions and incredibly helpful. If you're looking for a lovely and well-equipped place to stay, I highly recommend booking with Jessica. We can't wait to return!

Catherine’s home was the perfect place for our sister’s weekend. It was easy to find, warm and welcoming. The neighborhood was stunning. Close to the river, the park, The Maritime Museum, and the CNU campus. The fully stocked kitchen and charming family room was a wonderful place for us to enjoy coffee in the morning and cocktails in the evening. Catherine thought of every detail to make our stay relaxing and peaceful. There were many wonderful memories made this weekend. We look forward to staying again!

Saint Salty was SO refreshing! We hosted our retreat here for a few good friends and it was just what we needed! Beautiful views, sounds of the water, a great walk to the lighthouse, watching windsurfing, paddle boarding and enjoying the perfect table on the deck for all meals! The kitchen was stocked with all we needed for our meals and the bedrooms were so cozy. The views from the living room are gorgeous. We loved our stay. It was so peaceful and our host was awesome with communication and flexible to support our needs. We will be back!

Everything was as described. We are fully satisfied and would love to come back in the future.

This place was beautiful and cute I feel like they should show the actual pictures instead of using Ai because it’s very beautiful inside and outside. Peaceful environment and friendly atmosphere. It’s also very quiet for the most part. I loved the gym that was there as well! My only thing is I wish the washing machine and dryer worked as we went to the beach and had to wash and dry some clothes other then that it’s absolutely gorgeous and perfect for family and friends.

I would definitely stay here again! My absolute favorite part was the deck outside. It had so much seating and a table with an umbrella. The home was lovely. The queen size bed was comfy. The space on the side of the bed with the wall is awkward because the intake vent is there, and that vent is also loud and annoying. Just wear earplugs! We added two of the wooden tray tables from the closet as night stands. The house is clean except the floor, which I'd imagine is hard to sweep or mop because the boards have shifted, making the floor uneven with cracks through out. So the floor felt and looked a bit dirty, but you're by the beach with sand, so eh not a problem.

Calandra was an amazing host. Super nice and very responsive. The home was clean, quiet and has the cutest little pond in the back. The sheets and towels smelled a-maze-ing. Would very much recommend.

Everything went well for my stay-cation. I am familiar with the area and decided to try one of the Airbnbs. The apartment was clean, quiet, and we'll appointed. My only issue was actually with the Airbnb app, it kept lagging for both of us when we messaged each other. All in all, a great atay.

My friends and I stayed for a few days the space was clean and comfortable we felt right at home sitting in the living room together on the big couch, we needed something small just to accommodate the few of us and this worked perfectly not far from stores and fast food which we liked overall great place! We would stay again .

Beautiful surroundings, with the lake just steps from the door. The cabin had everything we needed for a 4 night stay. Great mix of indoor and outdoor spaces to enjoy. We absolutely loved it!

Incredible stay on a beautiful property. It’s quiet, private, VERY well maintained and just awesome. I truly hope to stay at this location again in the future because it was that great! You can tell the history in the cottage yet it’s updated and cozy. Also I’ve NEVER stayed at a location so clean!!!! From the cottage itself to the grounds, everything was very well taken care of.

Joyce has done a phenomenal job with this lake house. Everything has been thought through. The house actually looks even better than the pictures. You can tell a lot of thought went into the decor. And it is super clean. The kitchen is fully stacked with everything you would need ant home or away. Ample seasoned fire wood and starter sticks makes using their MASSIVE fire pit a breeze. The best part is she gives you access to both of their docks and you will not have to take your boat or kayak out of the water once. We kayak fished Johnson’s and Lacey’s with ease from her house. 100% coming back to stay again.

Great peace of history in a peaceful location. Kids thought it was coolest place ever to go kayaking, fishing, catching crabs, and relaxing inside playing chess and listening to some records. Richard was very accommodating with how far we had to travel and was able to help with a flexible check in time.

We are two old & dear friends who needed a getaway to catch-up, and enjoy some R&R from hectic schedules. We had a short stay, but loved our time at the Haddie James House (it was perfect for us!) We felt safe, we were very comfortable and had a lot of fun shopping/eating in Gloucester (Main St) and downtown Mathews. We would definitely stay here again and add more time to our stay. We never met the hosts (just one of their sweet dogs) but trusted they would respond to us if we had questions. Beautiful property and an adorable little home. Note: We easily found the house following the hosts' instructions and GPS in the daytime. But the hosts are right about it being "tricky" to find in the dark. I was glad we arrived when the sun was shining.

Great location off of 95 and hosts very responsive to messages! Great quiet area!
