PERFECTION!
This home was amazing! From the moment we walked in all stress left! It was decorated beautifully inside and outside! The enclosed back porch was the perfect place to sit and relax or to have a meal or watch the sunrise! The neighbors on the left, (Steve and Connie), were very friendly and were helpful in suggesting places to go. Thank you Ashley, for sharing your piece of paradise!

Great location for views, play, and solitude
Situated at the tip of Ware Neck, the house has commanding views of Monaco Bay and even out into the Chesapeake. A private beach makes it perfect for families. The area is steeped in history as Gloucester has several ‘oldest in Virginia’ claims, plus it’s close enough to Yorktown, Williamsburg, and Jamestown for day trips. Enjoy!

Beach peace and tranquility
Very glad we found this property. The home is well appointed and comfortable. The back porch and private beach were where we spent most of our time. The local general store is a must to stop and get some candy or a sandwich. Close to Williamsburg where there’s lots to see and do. The owner was kind and responsive. Would absolutely stay here again.

No WiFi, was not working, otherwise would have been perfect. Beautiful place, peaceful and quiet, kids loved playing in the yard. Quite a ways from Williamsburg, though. Food in Gloucester was great.

Hidden gem
Tucked back into a lovely spot we came for a wedding near Willamsburg - Mattresses were refreshingly more than comfortable! Dishwasher is not made for that counter, but no biggie, we used paper products. Comfortable, could use some updates, but what rental couldn't truly. Beautiful location would be delightful in the summertime.

Great place to make new memories
In one word: Amazing! Such a beautiful place in a great area! We loved the proximity to the water and the town of Gloucester. We made lots of memories and everyone in town was so friendly. The home was very comfortable for the five of us - plenty of space to spend time together as well as relax alone. My three teenage boys absolutely loved the kayaks and spending time in the water attempting to catch some crabs. Thank you for opening your home to us and creating such a cozy place to make memories.

Perfect Setting
This house is tucked away in a secluded area on the water. Just a few other houses nearby. Exactly our kind of place. We enjoyed the small private beach, complete with crabs, oysters, a horseshoe crab, ospreys and gulls. It is about an hour from Colonial Williamsburg and Jamestown, so that is the trade off for being right on the water, but that was fine for us. Very clean, comfortable and lovely house. Fantastic view from the screened in porch.

Gurls trip Haven
Beautiful sunrises, well-equipped kitchen, private beach, and 3 separate bedrooms…the perfect home for our girls’ trip! Yorktown, Jamestown and Williamsburg were all an easy drive away. The wi-fi is medium strength but I was able to check email. For streaming videos it was a bit slow. Who cares when you have such a great river view and so much peace and quiet? The screened porch is THE BEST!

Our new FAVORITE, did NOT want to leave!
We fell in love with this property the moment we pulled into the driveway. The house is off a secluded road, with only a few neighbors, who were very friendly; it was EXTREMELY peaceful. The house and porches are beautifully decorated, and laid out perfectly. It was easy for my grandfather to get around, and the perfect space for our 2.5 year old to have a blast. We loved having the yard, and the private beach was just perfect. We definitely took advantage of the kayaks, and life jackets. The house was FULLY stocked: PLENTY of towels, kitchen utensils, etc. My grandfather, my parents, my husband, our daughter, and I came for our end of summer beach trip, and we DEFINITELY did NOT want to leave, it was just the perfect little slice of paradise. We will DEFINITELY be coming back!

Breathtaking and Quiet!
We definitely enjoyed our family vacation at this beautiful location! The property is pretty secluded, which we enjoyed! The kids loved the drive down the tree-lined paths leading to the house and the various animals we would see along the way. The house is beautifully decorated and exceptionally clean. We settled in right away! Our family enjoyed breakfast in the screened in porch area. It was also a nice area to be able to watch the kids play in the yard from. The beach area was fun and the kids loved being able to walk out on the sandbars and look for fish/crabs. We liked that the water wasn't too deep in this area and the kids could see the ocean floor. Before our first day was even over, our daughter said, "I want to come back to this place again!" We will definitely plan another stay here in the future!
