Beautiful Cottage in Onancock

My family and I enjoyed our stay in Onancock. The cottage has excellent water views and is in a central location on the Eastern Shore. If you are looking for a place to stay on the Eastern Shore, look no further!

Perfect Smith Mountain Lake Getaway!

This is our fourth year in a row staying at Hummingbird Cottage and we are already looking forward to coming back next year! The cottage is a great size for my husband and me, and we appreciate the private dock with kayaks, fire pit and wonderful location.

Peaceful place

Our stay was very short but we loved how quaint and quiet the place was. Planning to book again if we need to visit our son for college!

Family-friendly scenic island stay

The cottage is a treasure and the island is beautiful. Wonderful views of herons and other wildlife always outside the back windows! Our family of six (including four teenage boys) stayed comfortably at the house. It felt like borrowing a friend's well-stocked vacation home. Plenty of kitchen gear and dishes for cooking (which we used several nights). Things to consider: to access the Gloucester Point area, you must cross a draw bridge. It is a cool bridge to cross, but every time you go into Gloucester, you must pay a 2 toll. Also, you can be delayed if a ship is crossing. We had to wait 15-20 minutes one morning on our way to Williamsburg. Also, the property is well-decorated and cozy, but not brand new, and has a few quirks. We had some small ants in the kitchen, but the hosts had some bait traps out. Overall, I would highly recommend this unique stay if you are coming to the area!

Holiday weekend getaway

This property was fantastic. This rental will be hard to beat for future rentals. The hosts were thoughtful about so many small details making our short stay so easy. We appreciated the snacks and drinks. The sunroom looking out over the water is where we stayed most of time in the cottage. Thank you Andy and Mike!

Wonderful little cottage in Virginia wine country

My husband and I stayed at Tim’s cottage in middleburg for one night to celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary. Tim had left a bottle of champagne and chocolate cake for us since he knew it was our anniversary, which was an incredibly thoughtful and kind gesture. The cottage was clean, cute and cozy and the location was incredibly convenient to wineries, breweries and downtown Middleburg. It was truly a staycation to remember!
