2 Bedroom Cottage in Foster, Bohannon

At Grandview on the Bay, we have two pet-friendly cottages designed to provide the ultimate for comfort and relaxation on Mathews County’s Chesapeake Bay VA: the Fish House and the Crab Shack (separate rental cottage which is 1 bedroom/1 bath). We’ve spent over a decade designing and renovating our property Grandview to give guests impeccable access to nature, relaxation and privacy. Located in Mathews County, voted one of the coolest small towns in America, the Fish House has a maximum occupancy of four persons (minimum age of six for children or non-crawling infants allowed). The cottage is pet-friendly, simply select # of pets in reservation filter to let us know you are bringing pets & for the reservation to include the applicable pet fee ($75 for up to two dogs).
Eclectic art and decorations throughout the cottage showcase talented local artists as well as our love of the Florida Keys and some pieces from memory lane. The second level of the cottage contains your master bedroom with a king-size Sleep Number bed and balcony, a second bedroom with twin beds and a full size bathroom. The first level offers an open concept gourmet kitchen and living room area with a leather sofa to sink into while enjoying the large screen flat panel tv, featuring satellite tv. Love to cook? Master Chef Karla designed the gourmet kitchen with cooks in mind. Chill & grill with a gas grill, and two swings located underneath the cottage in the patio area. The cottage is elevated on concrete pilings to maximize views so guests must climb exterior stairs to get to first level. The interior staircase to the second level is a wooden, spiral staircase. There are also full size exterior stairs to the second level. Both bathrooms have showers (no bath tub).
As this is a shared property, no additional day or overnight guests are permitted (other than those listed in reservation). Guests of the Fish House and the Crab Shack share the property amenities with each other and us: two tandem kayaks, swimming pool (in season), five hole mini-golf course with patio area, the pier and floating pier for easy launch of kayaks and reading and lounge chairs throughout the property. Also each cottage has two adult bikes and Weber gas grill available for private use. As always, we ask guests to be mindful and courteous within shared spaces.
We wanted Grandview to be dog-friendly as we love taking our dogs on vacation with us. Living on the property with us is our 9 year old neutered male labrador retriever. Both rental cottages on the property are dog-friendly so your pups are certainly welcome provided they are okay with other dogs. To make sure all Grandview guests enjoy their stay we ask that you observe a few pet rules covered in the reservation agreement.
What would vacation be without swimming! Refresh yourself at our swimming pool with bar area, double hammock swing, loungers, rocking chairs and outdoor shower. 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. 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 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.
If you want some sand in your toes, we are a short drive from Haven Beach and Bethel Beach in Mathews with great birding, shell gathering, strolling. If you’re looking for a day trip, we are an hour away from Colonial Williamsburg & Busch Gardens, Yorktown and horse racing at Colonial Downs. We are centrally located between Virginia Beach and Washington DC and a mere 90 minutes from Richmond.
While smoking is not permitted in the cottage, guests are permitted to smoke outdoors in approved areas. Spend less time packing and more time playing! At Grandview, we provide many items that other rentals make you bring or rent. Let us know how we can make your time in Mathews County GRAND!

Summary: The property was meticulously maintained. The views were absolutely gorgeous. Bike riding around the point was fantastic. Our dog loved the dog water ramp. She would have water retrieved all day if we let her. Plenty to do in the area. Beaches, shopping, and dining were all excellent. The people were top notch. This was our first VRBO experience. Can’t say enough good things about the owners. Made sure we were fine but also gave us our privacy. The informational binders they made really gave us a good starting point to explore the surrounding area. We would absolutely return in the future.

Summary: This was a great vacation! My husband and I, our 11 year old daughter and her 10 year old friend, and our dog Oliver stayed for a week. My biggest joy was how CLEAN it was! I usually struggle staying anywhere other than my home and I didn’t struggle at all here. The owners take such good care of the property. We spent so much time on their pier catching crabs and fishing. The girls had a blast! The area is very private with nice flat roads for easy bike rides. The putt putt golf course is an easy relaxing activity that you don’t have to go elsewhere and pay to do. The view is beautiful and the landscaping is spectacular! The owners are so caring and accommodating. We walked in to find a welcome basket specifically for our dog with toys and treats in it. So cute! Our dog is very neurotic and was petrified to walk on the floors upstairs. Could have been the color, the shine, who knows. When I told Karla about it just to share a funny story, she understood his fears completely and brought over rug runners for us to use which solved the whole problem. I hesitated when I read that we would be sharing the property with the owners and the other rental cottage, but it wasn’t an issue at all. It was like staying at a 5 star resort! They provide so many extras like laundry detergent, body wash, shampoo, conditioner, beach towels, bikes, even a pump for the bike tires! Whether you’re looking for a relaxing get away for two, or a neat family vacation, you can’t go wrong here!

Summary: Our vacations revolve around quiet, getting-away-from-it-all type vibes and the Fish House has them! Myself, my spouse, and our 2 kids (11, 12) had plenty to keep us entertained both inside and out without the need to leave. We picked up groceries at the closest grocery (Food Lion in Mathews) on our way there and settled in. Indoors, we found many games, quick internet, and I loved that towels and shower toiletries were provided. Kitchen was well stocked and up to date, and the outdoor grill was ready to use. We made daily use of each deck and enjoyed the swinging chairs below the deck when drying off from the pool (which was sparkling clean and well maintained). Outside, we used the kayaks, rode the well maintained bikes, and played Putt-putt at least one round per evening. Kayaks are both tandem style and there are both adult and child-size life vests (small children likely would need their own properly fitting floatation device). The property is wonderfully private from outside properties, and offers plenty of personal space from the other rental on property. We did not travel with pets, but at the request of my 11 yr old, we met the owners dog who is calm and well-behaved. Note for those with small children or any with mobility issues: the only indoor stairs are the spiral stairs to the bedrooms which could pose a safety risk (there are accommodating outdoor stairs to that level). We loved our stay and will definitely be visiting the Fish House again soon! Thanks Karla

Summary: We had a fantastic stay at The Fish House! Karla is very responsive and cares for her guests! I can't say enough wonderful things about her and the property! We fished from the dock, kayaked, star gazed, swam in the pool, and played a bit of putt-putt. The gardens make it feel like a small tropical paradise! To include the butterflies! I would recommend it to friends! I have to mention that I am in better shape now than when I left because there are a few more stairs on the property than I am used to, but we were very active and back and forth from the house to the dock. Thank you, Karla! I hope we can stay again!

Summary: The property was amazing! Karla was a great host! There are so many little things they provide. Close to lots of fun things but nice to stay off the beaten path. The house was clean, dog friendly (our pups loved it), so many extras and the pool and dock. We liked staying off the beaten path. We hope to visit the fish house again. Would highly recommend

Summary: The Fish House is a really cute place! The check in process with Karla was seamless and she even allowed us to check in 1/2 hour early since we made decent time with our 11 hour drive. Once arrived, I was really impressed with how clean and organized the place was! Everything was labeled like light switches, inside the cabinets in the kitchen, etc. Super nice to have some of the kitchen basics supplied as well. We traveled with our dog and, although he had no interest (he's a senior), there was a doggie care package left for him on the counter with toys, cookies and a little note. Karla is so very thoughtful about everything at her place, we really felt welcomed. I did have to reach out to her on just a couple questions and she was always VERY responsive on text, even facetiming with me once when I couldn't figure out how to turn on her outside hose! I had some concerns about a "shared" property with the owners (never had that experience before), but they were rarely seen and respected our space for sure. We took her advice on a number of the restaurants in her resource booklet (and we were happy with all the food) and although we didn't try any of the excursions, you can tell some thought and effort went into creating this resource for her guests. The pool was not open as we were "off season" and it was too early, so I cannot comment on that. Grounds and property was beautiful and well cared for. Be prepared though, the location is definitely "off the beaten path" a bit, so it is at least a 15-20 minute ride to restaurants and grocery stores, it's even a little bit of a ride to the closest beaches. The Fish House is a great place to stay!

Summary: Beautiful, peace, and quiet. The clear sky was full of stars. Loved the putt putt course. Best of all was the experience of catching crabs. Great memories made.
