We Didn't Want to Leave!
Publié le 20 sept. 2024 sur HomeAwayThis cottage was perfect for a quiet, private spot to unwind and relax with the dogs. It is clean, exactly as pictured, and anything you could possibly need was provided. The water and private beach were very clean as well. If you don't want to cook, there are so many excellent food options nearby.

Right on the water
Publié le 13 sept. 2024 sur HomeAwayThe cottage was a prefect size for two guests and lots of room outside. Was truly as advertised! Enjoyed watching terns and osprey fish close by. Nicely furnished and equipped and well kept. Will definitely consider going again.

A Perfect Getaway
Publié le 11 sept. 2024 sur HomeAwayThis has become our getaway place! My husband and I love this place and so does our 2 year old sheepadoodle Walter! It’s the best time, every single time. Cheri is amazing to work with and always ensures a smooth check in and a beautiful clean home with the best vibes. We will continue to come back every year!

A Special Place for a Family Vacation
Publié le 4 sept. 2024 sur HomeAwayFirst of all, Cheri is a wonderful host - excellent communicator and very friendly. With that said, we didn't really need to interact very much, because everything was as it should have been and her communication ahead of our trip gave us all of the information that we needed. The cottage was just as it is pictured, except that there is a bit of magic while you are actually there that you can't sense until you arrive. Our family (2 adults and 2 small children - and a doggie) spent most of our 7 days on the private beach, where we used both kayaks and the paddleboard daily. We also used the crab cage and fishing nets to try our hand at crabbing (the kids got a kick out of that). We loved setting up the Solo stove on the lawn and grilling with the water as a backdrop to it all. We are seasoned travelers and the water of Hills Bay is something for the eyes at several points throughout each day - the morning and afternoon sun create a reflection that is absolutely stunning. The sunsets are second to none - and you have a front row seat at the cottage. The colors that reflect on the water look like a painting. We were extremely impressed by the contents of the shed - it was really enough entertainment for the entire week - we barely left, except to try different local places for different meals throughout the week. The cottage itself has all that you will need and more. We loved it all and were very sad to leave but hope to return again!

Laurie! Oh my gosh thank you for your review. I agree that there is some magic to the Cottage and the land it is on, having nothing to do with anything we have done there. Maybe it was a sacred place for the Powhatan people. Your family is welcome back to the Cottage any time.

Beautiful spot on the Bay
Publié le 19 août 2024 sur HomeAwayWe had a lovely anniversary week on Gwynn’s Island. Enjoyed the paddle board, the gorgeous sunsets from the deck, and the wildlife. A heron greeted us each morning and a family of ospreys entertained us in the evenings. The house was in an ideal location- close to everything but with plenty of privacy. It was very clean and well equipped- even doggy towels were provided for our pup. Cheri is an excellent host. We hope to return.

Laurie - Thank you so much! You really enjoyed so much that the Cottage and location have to offer. So glad you saw Harry or Harriett the Heron, as I call them, to start your day. Always makes mine. We hope to have you back soon at the Cottage.

Great vacation with children
Publié le 26 juill. 2024 sur HomeAwayWe have spent two fabulous weeks at the cottage! It is very guest-oriented, with labels all over the place, on every cupboard and shelf. The kitchen is wonderfully equipped, I cooked all the time and even baked a cake, no problem. All beds and couches are really comfortable, all appliances are in the best condition. The beach is private, clean and very shallow, we let our 7 YO wander and didn't have to worry at all. There's a brilliant set of every possible amenity in the shed: bikes, kayaks, a paddleboard, sand toys and whatnot.
The area is very calm and rural, there's a deeper beach about 15 minutes away, a few shops, a few restaurants. But an hour away there is Newport News with its Living museum and planetarium, Williamsburg with its colonial museum, Jamestown and all sorts of other interesting day trips awaiting.
A special highlight: beach shower with warm water!
A thing to know: the water comes from the well, so it is very clean, but has a very special taste (lots of iron). It's not noticeable in coffee, but for tisanes I brought bottled water, as the well water adds an interesting tinge.
We will definitely come again!

Peace and Quiet
Publié le 8 juill. 2024 sur HomeAwayWe enjoyed our stay and the best part was being on the water. We were able to catch some fish, crabs and went on the kayak. We enjoyed venturing into Mathew’s to all the quaint little stores. Everyone was nice and friendly! Despite the heat, we made the best of it! Having another umbrella or some sort of overhang would have been nice to get out of the sun, since our dogs LOVE being outside. But it was not a deal breaker. If you love the peace and quiet, this is the place to be!

Thanks so much for this review Jennifer! These extreme temps are hard to beat especially in the afternoon and I appreciate your suggestion about a second umbrella or shade structure. We had to remove a diseased tree on the water side and miss the shade it offered. Thanks for your comments and glad your family enjoyed your stay.

Another awesome stay at the cottage
Publié le 26 juin 2024 sur HomeAwayJust like last year, we enjoyed a fun and sun filled week at Gwynns Island Cottage. We went in early June this year and that provided cooler early mornings but warmed to 80s by midday. Beautiful views of hills bay and had a blast playing on the private beach with our 9yr old. Thanks again Cheri for allowing us to use the cottage!
