Foto e descrizione in affitto a Mathews

New in 2011, the Crab Shack at Grandview provides the ultimate cottage for relaxation on Mathews County’s Chesapeake Bay VA. We’ve spent over a decade designing and renovating our property Grandview to give guests impeccable access to nature, relaxation and privacy. A great romantic vacation getaway or a memory making adventure for a small family awaits you. In May 2011, we finished the construction of the luxurious “Shack” complete with king size bedroom and gourmet kitchen. From your roof top deck, enjoy expansive views of the East River. Watch the sun rise over the water with your morning coffee on your private balcony. Crave relaxation? We’ve got it! Find what suits your vacation style best – swimming in the pool, fishing or crabbing on the pier, kayaking, biking, bird watching, strolling around the coastal landscaped pathways or lounging in chairs and hammocks located throughout

our three acre property. Grandview has excellent access to the Lower Chesapeake for sailors, intracoastal cruisers & fisherman with dockage for small boats & deep water anchorage for larger craft. We hope your time at Grandview will show you why we came to Mathews for a weekend and decided to stay a lifetime!

The Crab Shack was designed for comfort and relaxation. The second level of the Shack contains your bedroom with a king size Sleep Number bed as well as a living room area with drink fridge and a leather sofa to sink into while enjoying the large screen flat panel tv, featuring satellite tv with the professional football package and a 200+ DVD collection. Inflatable beds with all bedding are available for kids. Love to cook? Master Chef Karla designed the Shack’s gourmet kitchen with cooks in mind and she loves to share great recipes for locally available seafood. Step

outside and pick fresh herbs from the garden. Think swings are just for kids or the outdoors? We’re big kids at heart and couldn’t resist adding a swing to the downstairs living area. Hop into the swing and soak in the view, watching the tide roll away. Looking to create your own sunset celebration? Grab a drink and head up to Crow's Nest, our rooftop deck with stunning views of the East River and a sunset over the soybean fields, and kick back at our LL Bean dining table and chairs topside.

What would vacation be without swimming! Refresh yourself at our swimming pool with bar area, double hammock swing, loungers, rocking chairs, dining table & grill. For those torn between a favorite show & the lure of the pool, enjoy the outdoor tv w/satellite and music channels. Can’t get enough of the water view then try your hand at good ole fashioned crabbing with chicken legs and strings

on the pier or relax in the Adirondack chairs while the crab pots do the work for you. Revive yourself with a nap in the huge couples’ hammock in our mint garden (great for tea or mint juleps/mojitos) or rejuvenate your body & spirit in the large hot tub on Grandview’s waterside screened porch. Quiet time abounds as well so relax in one of our reading areas or just kick back and rest in the lounge chairs located throughout the property. Bird watchers love viewing dozens of water fowl and bird species including our resident heron, egret and osprey. Stroll around the pathways and neighborhood and enjoy our wildlife and gardens with coastal landscaping. If you want to try an adventure, take our kayaks for a paddle and our bikes for a spin. Love fishing? Bring your boat, tie up to our pier and join in catching some of the hundreds of flounder and rockfish garnered by our guests and resident expert, Capt Dave who is happy to provide local fishing intelligence.

A Perfectly Relaxing Vacation

recensione inoltrata: 16 maggio 2013 Data soggiorno: maggio 2013
Thank you Karla and Dave for making our vacation a perfect one! The Crab Shack was just the right size for the two of us and it was great to have our dog stay with us. We appreciated the fully stocked bathroom and kitchen (including the cold drinks waiting for us in the fridge!) Everything was new, modern and spotlessly clean. It was very peaceful to sit on the patio and the two decks and enjoy the views of the gardens and the water. We spent most of the week exploring Mathews County and we discovered secluded beaches, interesting shops and excellent restaurants. Karla and Dave gave us advice and directions as we set off on our tours. If you're looking for a place to unwind, relax, ride a bike, paddle a kayak, go for a walk and enjoy the natural beauty of a friendly, waterfront community: go to Mathews County. Karla and Dave are friendly and gracious hosts and they made our vacation an enjoyable one!

Lots of fun memories

recensione inoltrata: 13 febbraio 2013 Data soggiorno: agosto 2012
Dave and Karla,
As I write, I'm rocking in the hammock chair looking out the screen door. Cooler weather came in and the morning is wonderfully cooler. Today is our last morning here. Soon we'll be packing to return for reality work & back to school. We had such a good family break from all the hectic schedules. What a wonderful gift you offer people. How often can you watch the sun rise with your daughter because you both want to instead of the wary eyed parent who has had no sleep or sharing in your son's first fish preparing lesson and watching him eat it that night. We had an osprey mother protecting her nest from the four kayakers. She thought we were going to climb the tree. Lots of fun memories. Spartacus got on the dock with vanilla wafers (always my favorite). 95lb Doberman that's a chicken :) We will return for more memories! It was a well needed reality break.

Great outdoor vacation

We recently stayed at Grandview Crab Shack. The home was clean and very well stocked. We had so much fun on the dock catching crabs, fishing and kayaking. The kids (6 and 9) swam in the inground pool everyday and loved the place. In fact, our six year old started calling it home. Karla and Dave were wonderful. They showed us how to crab, took us out on the boat and were so inviting. We would love to go back next year!

Risposta del proprietario: We are always delighted to introduce kids, of all ages, to the joys of crabbing. It’s amazing how addictive it is to keep checking the lines and pulling in crabs of all sizes. It was a pleasure to meet such a fun family and help make your vacation enjoyable. We are glad your daughters got to enjoy pool time every day. Swimming is part of what makes summer GREAT!

A real hidden gem!

recensione inoltrata: 8 luglio 2012 Data soggiorno: maggio 2012
We have stayed in both the shack and the osprey nest. They are both awesome. The Scanlan's, Dave and Karla think of everything their guest could need or want. The accommodations are clean, fresh and inviting. The property is meticulously maintained yet still warm and inviting. a great get away for a week-end, but be careful, you will find yourself hating to leave. We will go back every chance we can.

Wonderfully relaxing waterfront rental property with great facilities and charming owners!

recensione inoltrata: 2 maggio 2012 Data soggiorno: aprile 2012
We came from the UK to spend 3 relaxing nights by the water in southern Virginia before heading off to DC. This rental exceeded all of our expectations : it is in a lovely location, and is a a very well appointed and immaculately clean rental, in a property that has been imaginatively designed and beautifully built. The owners Karla and Dave, who live next door with their delightful and quiet Labradors , are on hand to make sure you have everything you need to make the most of your stay there. The kitchen is very well designed so we made some great meals in, rather than going out. We used the kayaks and bicycles provided , but the weather was too cool to use the swimming pool and hot tub. The views are great , made even better when you see an osprey fishing in front of you and the herons standing motionless in the water. I think this property is ideal for a couple who want peace and tranquility well away from any city.

Risposta del proprietario: It was a delight to have such world travelers as guests and we greatly enjoyed seeing photos from your excursions. Thanks so much for your suggestions. As chef Karla always loves ideas to make the kitchen better for other cooks, the Shack now has new kitchen tools: two smaller size sieves to go with the large colander. We also now have an iPod docking station on order similar to yours...a great idea which we hope will be enjoyed by future guests.

Fun and relaxation for whole family

What a wonderful place for a relaxing, yet fun-filled vacation! My husband, our teenage daughter, our Yorkie and I spend a beautiful October long weekend at the Crab Shack. We had high expectations based on reviews and photos posted on this site, but found the place to be even nicer, prettier and more comfortable than we expected. We came to relax after some stressful weeks, and this was the perfect place for it. We really lucked out weather-wise, so even in late October, we were able to take full advantage of the rooftop deck with its beautiful waterviews. We even ate a couple of meals there. I love to cook and have stayed in many rental properties over the year with equipped kitchens, but have never found any this well equipped. The owners directed us to a great place to buy fresh seafood, so the Jambalaya I cooked one night was delicious. We took advantage of the proximity to Williamsburg and went there on a day trip. It’s only an hour away and so worth a visit! Owners are super-friendly and so willingly share all their knowledge of the area. We will definitely be back and plan on making our reservation early in 2012 as we expect this place will quickly book up.

Risposta del proprietario: We always enjoy introducing guests to the benefits of Mathews including a variety of fresh seafood! As a cooking enthusiast, Karla tried to stock the Crab Shack with a large assortment of kitchen tools and strives to add things as needed. 2012 Shack guests will find a new cookbook holder and several of Karla's favorite cookbooks available for use during their stay thanks to your great suggestion. We hope your family will return to enjoy them as well as the new pathway gardens completed in November.

Peace and quiet.

recensione inoltrata: 6 dicembre 2011 Data soggiorno: novembre 2011
The Crab Shack was the perfect spot for peace, quiet and relaxation after the holiday. Other than the owners, who were very friendly and joined us for some wine on the patio, we didnt see or hear a soul all weekend. The rooftop deck was great for kicking back to watch the sunrise/sunset and the Shack itself was really put together to make it easy to relax. We're definitely going to head back and enjoy the surrounding area a bit more, but for a peaceful get-away its just outstanding.
Risposta del proprietario: We're so glad you had a great visit and got a chance to relax and check out the stars. We really delight in introducing others to the serenity of Mathews County and the beauty of the Chesapeake Bay (the sunsets/sunrises never get old for us!). We enjoyed meeting you and were happy that your labrador Marci got to do what labs do best...swim and retrieve the ball. We hope you'll return when it's warm and take Grandview's kayaks for a tour of the East River...whether you're just want to view it or play in it, Mathews is all about the water!

Great experience

Can you imagine a rental so thoughtfully equipped that there are a large set of kitchen knives--all of them sharp?! "The Crab Shack" is unique in design, architecture, and hospitality as well. In early October my wife and I spent 4 delightful days and nights--2 very warm and 2 very cool, but all of them very comfortable and interesting, including a fascinating hour-long tour of the river and backwaters in the owners' stylish fishing boat.Our dog romped happily with the two dogs of the owners.In all, one of our best of many gratifying VRBO experiences.Thanks to you both!

Waterfront Retreat for Active Family

5 su 5
recensione inoltrata: 14 settembre 2011 Data soggiorno: agosto 2011
The Crab Shack was great for our vacation with a middle school age child and large breed dog. We enjoyed kayaking, crabbing from the pier and swimming at the pool. We especially loved the kitchen stocked with all the gadgets, pots and pans we needed to cook gourmet meals all week and having access to the gas grill on the pool deck made our evenings enjoyable.

Our inkeepers offered a wealth of information on the area, taught our daughter to catch and measure her crabs and cooked her crabs for her so our family could have a crab feast. We are looking forward to seeing them again as much as we are looking forward to another trip to the crab shack. We will definitely be back.

Quaint, quiet, clean, comfortable and just perfect

recensione inoltrata: 20 luglio 2011 Data soggiorno: luglio 2011
Our stay at the Crab Shack was just what we needed to get away from city life. It was quiet, clean (and I'm picky) and comfortable. The grounds were immaculate. Our hosts were great. Even though their home is just across the driveway, it really felt like we had the place to ourselves. They were so hospitable, but gave us the space we needed to enjoy our vacation time. We enjoyed having our dogs with us and the host pups were so sweet and well-behaved. The sleep number bed was fabulous. I'm actually thinking of getting one now and the view from the bedroom was beautiful. We also enjoyed drinks up on the rooftop deck.

The one thing to point out is the circular staircase in the Crab Shack may prove difficult for those with very young children and any physical challenges moving about. I believe the owners mention this in the description. I have a bad knee and used the outside stairs often. It was especially challenging in the middle of the night since the bathroom was downstairs. But this was minor and wouldn't stop me from returning and referring this beautiful property to friends/family!
