The Haven is a beautifully maintained, open concept home with 3 bds and 2 baths that can comfortably sleep 8\. A full kitchen and dining area (in- and outdoors) are at your disposal for enjoying the local bounty with friends and family. The backyard includes a game shed (with bar!), a hot tub and a private dock for crabbing or kayaking, or both. The space: Half Shell Haven has all the amenities to make you and yours feel right at home during your stay. The outdoors give access to the best of both worlds, with the private dock and waterfront access as well as trails throughout the wooded property. The living room includes a TV with access to multiple streaming services, including Netflix, Disney and Fubo. The living room is wrapped in walls of windows to showcase the beautiful setting; a sliding door opens to the patio (with dining table and hot tub). The wood stove is available for use, subject to the owner’s express prior approval. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you’d need to prepare a home cooked meal, if that’s the plan. Full pots / pans and baking ware set, as well as pantry staples. Available for use is a Keurig coffee machine, a toaster, hand mixer and waffle maker. An island with chairs for two is available for a quick bite. Behind the sliding barn door is the washing and drying machine, along with a filtered water system that makes hot and cold water and ice. The custom handmade dining table seats six and the dining area is flanked on one side by two leather chairs perfect for an after dinner aperitif. There are three bedrooms: the primary bedroom, with en suite bathroom and private patio, has a queen bed; the second bedroom has a queen bedroom; and the third bedroom has a day bed with a trundle bed, both of which provide single beds. The third bedroom with day bed works just as perfectly as an office, with the day bed for a comfortable seat and a desk for when more focus might be demanded… WiFi is quick and reliable. Samsung monitor added. Watch TV or hook up your computer for a larger screen view! The second bathroom is a full bathroom with bathtub. The outdoors will keep your family equally entertained. A covered porch faces the front yard, while a back porch area, with picnic table and hot tub, overlook Winter Haven Harbor. The primary patio is the third patio. The backyard includes a game shed (made from a converted garage) with arcade games, a television and a bar with refrigerator. An outdoor shed houses all of the supplies needed to enjoy a day on the water, including water toys and fishing poles. A private dock, with glide rocker, is the perfect place to watch the sunset or catch crabs and shrimp in the right season. Our family loves to do sunrise and sunset yoga and other workouts from the dock. Just a short 3 mile drive gets you to Bethel Beach! A scenic trip opens to a beautiful area to relax and enjoy the outdoors. Other things to note: The home has a Blink video doorbell. It also has 2 Blink outdoor security cameras: one facing the driveway on the side of the home and one facing the backyard above the doors of the Outdoor Shed. All cameras are disarmed during a guests stay which means it is not recording. We only arm the system when the property is not in use. Please let us know if you have any questions about the security cameras. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach loungers - Beach towels ### Pool/Spa - Hot tub ### Internet - Available in the cottage: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Onsite parking options include a garage ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Ice maker - Kitchen island - Lobster/crab pot - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided - Sofa bed ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room - Wood stove ### Entertainment - Books - Games - Smart TV - Stereo ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Computer monitor - Desk - Desk chair ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming dogs only - 2 pets total ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - Near the bay - Near the marina - On the waterfront ### Things to do - Arcade/game room - Foosball table - Gym - Kayak - Birdwatching nearby - Fishing nearby - Kayaking nearby - Wildlife walks nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Recycling - Unit size: 1,385 square feet ## Similar properties ![On the beach](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/93000000/92510000/92504500/92504462/aa154f4f.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Beach House Getaway, exclusive location on "Chesapeake Bay" with private beach Hudgins - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Free WiFi 10 Exceptional 16 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-03&endDate=2026-02-04&selected=92504462&PinnedHotelID=92504462&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/109000000/108460000/108457500/108457478/70a699d6.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### 2 Tiny Houses, 2BR House & 1BR/Studio GuestHouse Deltaville - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet friendly 10 Exceptional 1 review [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-03&endDate=2026-02-04&selected=108457478&PinnedHotelID=108457478&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/92000000/91220000/91219300/91219226/b9e5aa90.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Waterfront w/Floating Dock, Kayaks\~Family Home Cobbs Creek - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet friendly 10 Exceptional 7 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-03&endDate=2026-02-04&selected=91219226&PinnedHotelID=91219226&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/113000000/112180000/112174000/112173970/48604551.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Family Friendly Waterfront Home - Private Dock, Kayaks, Fire Pit, Grill, Deck Topping - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet friendly 9.8 Exceptional 6 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-03&endDate=2026-02-04&selected=112173970&PinnedHotelID=112173970&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Sun loungers, beach towels](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/115000000/114920000/114912100/114912091/e1a4dc4b.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Charming 2-bedroom house with AC, WiFi in Mathews County Virginia North - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 10 Exceptional 16 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-03&endDate=2026-02-04&selected=114912091&PinnedHotelID=114912091&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Smart TV, books](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/101000000/100230000/100227900/100227828/32a67ad4.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Ma's Cozy Cape: Your Tranquil Home Away from Home!

The is kitchen fully equipped, beds and pillows so comfortable and the sheet cool. We enjoyed the boat dock and the game room. The round swinging chairs were an additional surprise and this area with the vine background was the perfect area for selfies if you do social media. The grounds were wonderful for a peaceful walk to get your steps in and my husband ran for a few miles down the local road to get the early morning run. Haven beach was beautiful! The work and new sand was greatly appreciated. Thank you Mathew’s County for the upgrade and improvements. We hope to return next year. ##### Coetta N.

Aug 7, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Lasting Memories & Best Stay to Date (ran out of characters in review) My family and I have stayed at countless properties over the years through VRBO. As a family of five (5), including two teens, and an 8-year-old, one can imagine the difficulties associated with finding a vacation rental that had something that tickled the fancy of each. We’ve been very happy with the properties and the accuracy of the listings. There has never been an occasion where any of us felt deceived or that the property failed to meet expectations. With that said, our recent stay at this property blew all previous experiences out of the water. Drafting this review proved extremely difficult for words fail to fully capture the overall superior quality of the property, the surprising number of amenities provided, the “model home” level cleanliness, and most of all, the amount of effort and attention the owner expended toward ensuring every aspect of our vacation was flawless. In all honesty, exclusive of the owner’s dedication to our overwhelming satisfaction, the stay had solidly met all our expectations and worthy of more than a five-star review. I cannot put enough emphasis on how every aspect of this stay was at a level of quality that went above and beyond our wildest dreams. The resulting precious family moments will absolutely be brought up in many conversations for years to come and be one of our fondest memories for a lifetime. My family and I are very grateful for the opportunity and appreciate all the additional accommodations provided by the owner. Thank U ##### Jasper N.

The kitchen is well stocked for any meals you may desire to create. And so many fun games as well! The water access was fantastic, even with the extra rainfall from an incoming storm.

The decor was tastefully curated and arranged, with careful attention to space, color, and detail. There is excellent access to the water and a vast array of aquatic activities to take part in along with the equipment, not to mention the privacy to do so in any manner one sees fit.

Everything we needed was provided. Comfortable beds/pillows! Peaceful and quiet! Waking up to the sounds of nature and sunshine and having coffee on the covered porch with a ceiling fan to circulate the air. Will be staying again. Highly recommend this place for vacation. ##### Coetta N. Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mary M.

I really can’t say enough good things. Our kids ranging in ages from 5 to 10 years old had an amazing time - as did the adults. The kids loved the game room and fishing and crabbing from the dock. This was the perfect house to enjoy the long weekend with family and friends. Thank you Jennifer for being such a kind and wonderful host! I can’t wait to make the Old Bay chips and dip again - what a nice touch 👌 ##### Mary M. Stayed 3 nights in May 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Emery W. Mar 20, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Enjoyed Everything Our stay was excellent. We enjoyed the amenities and the various options to choose from (tea, types of water, etc.). Being close to the water we expected the house and the description of it to be exactly as advertised and it was. The views are amazing. Even short walks around the property are treats. The house was clean. All the bedding fits our family’s comfort needs. A private getaway is indeed this house. We will look forward to stopping through again. Thank you for everything! ##### Emery W.

We are a family of 4 with elementary aged children who absolutely loved vacationing here as much as their parents. The game/bar room cannot be beat. Everyone becomes a kid. Jennifer has thought of everything to make your stay wonderful. The house decor is wonderful as though at a boutique hotel just for you. The grounds gave our dog incredible roaming space and the dock was an incredible oasis for all of us. We got to crab with our kids - a memory for a lifetime! Kayaking was easy and so much fun even with your kids. Matthews and Gloucester were great to visit but honestly all you need is a good grocery shop and to hang out at the house.

Jul 12, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Awesome The house is beautiful and is furnished beautifully. It was immaculate when I arrived. You have any and everything you could want to cook, in the bathroom, extra covers, etc. It has a game shed, floats, kayaks, fishing poles, crab pots, a propane grill, and an inflatable hot tub, just to list some of the amenities. It is very private with beautiful landscaping and a beautiful dock. The property is only a few minutes away from Aaron Beach, Bethel Beach, Haven Beach and the town of Matthews. Jennifer, the owner is outstanding. She responds right away to any correspondence and makes sure you have everything you need and want. I felt so comfortable there and I love this property. I had an awesome time and I am looking forward to coming back! ##### Anne R. Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Daniel B.
