HOT TUB! POOL! BEACH! RESORT-LIKE AMENITIES! "Now this is the life!" "A little piece of paradise!" "Livin the Dream!" "It doesn't get any better than this!" Just a few thoughts that may cross your mind when you come for a stay at The Cottage at Misti Cove. While the name may be simple, don't let that fool you, for so are the best things in life! Getting a taste of the simple life doesn't mean you have to sacrifice amenities. Here, you'll enjoy resort-like amenities without resort crowds. Amenities like free WIFI, large outdoor pool, beach area, tennis court, and pier. Extras that even most resorts don't provide like your very own private extra large waterfront hot tub, private waterfront gas fireplace chat set, Relaxation Station ( a waters-edge private beach-like lounging area with adirondack chairs, table for 2, and wood fire pit ), your very own tiki bar, 2 indoor fireplaces, 4 tv/dvd players, 4 owner provided kayaks, 4 owner provided beach chairs, beach towels, 4 owner provided bikes, ....... With this storybook waterfront cottage you'll get EXTREMELY CLOSE-UP views of the Piankatank River at its widest point as it feeds into an arm of the Atlantic Ocean, the Chesapeake Bay, which is North America's largest estuary. Whether you're inside, or out, the expansive water views are unsurpassed! In fact, I know of no other vacation rental in the area where the home itself is so close to the water. Our cottage is the only home in the small 22 home Misti Cove community that is rented short term. They don't allow homes to be built this close to the water around here anymore. The water is so close you could cast a fishing line into the water from your rear deck. You'll actually have to go out a little farther to catch the fish but the point is, 'you could'. Check out the pictures. The water is just as close as it appears. After all, it's all about the water..... so don't sacrifice on the view. YOU'RE COMING TOO FAR NOT TO HAVE EXCELLENT WATER VIEWS! Viewing the sunrise over the water while laying in bed is unforgettable! Watching the sunset illuminate the sky while soaking in your private hot tub on your private waterfront deck is sure to leave a lasting memory as well. From here, you'll also be able to soak in abundant wildlife and marine life such as osprey, eagles, seagulls, deer, jumping fish, crabs, sting rays, and many other species known to the area. It'll almost be like vacationing in a wildlife and marine observatory at the same time. While not gazing at the surrounding natural beauty, you won't be disappointed with the aesthetics of the cottage either. It's been recently remodeled on the outside and the bath has been renovated. BATH FEATURES: \- LED RAINFALL SHOWER HEAD \- JETS ON OPPOSITE SHOWER WALLS ( FOR YOU AND YOURS) \- SHOWER WAND \- WAVY MARBLE TILE WITH BEACH STYLE GLASS MOTHER OF PEARL RESIN TRIM \- TUMBLED STONE FLOOR \- TOWEL WARMER \- HEATED FLOOR But that's not all! Cottage is furnished with top quality furnishings and offerings throughout for maximum coziness! Master bedroom has queen size bed w/Novaform gel memory foam mattress, 2nd bedroom has daybed w/pop-up trundle underneath that can convert the daybed to either a king size bed or two separate twin size beds. Both mattresses are memory foam as well. The Living Room, Enclosed Porch ('No Wake Zone'), Master Bedroom, and 2nd bedroom have high definition tv's with dvd players. Cable programming brought to you by Breezeline. Kitchen is fully furnished with refrigerator, microwave, oven/stove, dishwasher, coffee maker, toaster, blender, crock pot, garbage disposal, pots, pans, dishes, glasses, cups, & all the utensils you'll need to prepare a feast. Kitchen, Living Room, Master BR, and 2nd BR have bamboo floors for that far away exotic feel! There's more than meets the eye as well. However, rather than take pictures of inside the closets and cupboards, let me just tell you you'll find things like fluffy resort quality towels, a towel warmer, quality quilts/bedspreads, and an assortment of tiki bar accessories to name just a few. Outside on the deck facing the waterfront there is a tiki bar, propane grill, extra large hot tub and fireplace chat set to lounge around and take off the chill on those cooler nights. If you've still got some energy left to relax, then maybe you could meander on down to the hammock a little closer to the water and rest for a spell. The hammock is canopied by two trees so once you get here you'll have it "made in the shade". Still got a little energy and perhaps feeling a little adventurous? You are now ready for the Relaxation Station... the mini beach-like area with adirondack chairs, a wood burning fire pit, and table for 2 just a sea shells throw from the water. FOR VARIETY, TRY IN REVERSE! Remember, while you're here you've got nothing but time, so why not relax and make it go as slow as possible. Come stay for awhile and let time slow down. You'll soon find yourself saying, "Now this is the life!" Other tidbits: There are 4 owner provided kayaks, beach chairs, & bikes available for guests' use. Guests may keep their boat at nearby Morningstar Marina for a fee or anchor boats capable of floating in shallow water in front of cottage. Sorry, no trailered boats allowed to be kept on premises. Quiet community offers residents & guests a beach area, pier, seasonal pool, tennis court, and a basketball goal. Disclosures: \* Cottage has been tastefully decorated to include several pictures and other decor with scriptural references to help foster a sense of peace and relaxation. \* WARNING! 4.9 out of 5 guests have experienced symptoms of separation anxiety immediately after check-out. To a lesser extent, some have merely become Misti-eyed. Full service marina and free public boat launch about 10 minutes away by land or by sea. Grocery, small shops, and churches nearby.

Busch Gardens Theme Park, Colonial Williamsburg, and historic Jamestown and Yorktown about an hour away. Plenty of history to see in Richmond as well which is about an 1 hour 15 minutes away.

The great view, water close enough to touch with steps right down to it. Unfortunately it was windy, rainy and cold while we were there, but the hot tub warmed us up and the view was still spectacular. It would be the perfect spot in warmer weather with all of the outside amenities. We would stay again. ##### Terry K.

The new bathroom is amazing! We also appreciated other little upgrades. We had a lovely time and hope to be back. Robert is always improving the place! ##### Gwen C.

Listing exactly as presented but pictures cannot capture the amazing view. Cottage perfect size for our family of 3, every detail decorated for the beach feel from decor and colors down to the backsplash and shower tiles. We were there during a heat wave, perfect time to float/kayak/fish in the river, swim in the community pool and enjoy the breeze on the back patios. We even enjoyed the hot tub at night in the heat. Amazing sunrises and sunsets. Even got up early to watch a rocket launch. Neighbors were a little weary of us at first - multiple people noted that we must be staying at the short term rental, only one in the neighborhood but the different residents warmed up and were friendly. Next door neighbors were very kind and welcoming and provided fishing pointers. Town of Mathews super cute, good restaurants, shops and farmers market. Beautiful, peaceful and relaxing! Highly recommend. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/6128a120-caa0-4139-9bf6-532c9c3309ae-1751563115520.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/657a72d2-0eb6-4037-9b46-4019285a51f9-1751563116078.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/79b992ff-44a1-420c-b914-46ec218e0eca-1751563114855.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Donna A.

I knew when I found this listing that I may have uncovered a hidden gem and I was right! We stayed just for a long weekend but everything was cozy and the local towns were so friendly. We definitely enjoyed White Dog Bistro, Southwind Pizza and Richardsons. Even though we ate out most of our time, the house had most of the essentials if you chose to cook there. The hot tub and fire pit were favorites, we stopped at Food Lion just to get Marshmallows to roast. My husband caught lots of fish while kayaking and at night from the fire pit area and community dock. Definitely keeping this spot on our list for next year's getaway, maybe we'll even bring the kids with us. ##### Ashley S. Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Lisa H. Aug 26, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location #### Serene stay The cottage was great for the two of us. Very quiet and relaxing. You can't really relax on the beach though because when the tide comes in it disappears. We went to Haven Beach to relax and swim - just a short drive away. But you can sit by the fire pit and enjoy the serene scene with jumping fish and herons. The cottage was well equipped with almost everything we needed for our stay. The tennis court was unusable - the picture does not reflect its current condition. The pool looks nice but we never actually tried it because we couldn't figure out how to unlock the gate - there is a key but we couldn't find the lock! Overall, we enjoyed our stay. ##### Lisa H.
