Vacation rentals with lake access in Williamsburg

We made wonderful memories at this beautiful place. Would definitely recommend!

We stayed here over spring break with our young kids. Tommy and Janet were very friendly and responsive. The location is great! Literally right across the street from the beach, and close to our all time favorite brewery :) we'd love to come back again in the summer months!

My family and I enjoyed this place very much and plan to come back for our anniversary . It was very peaceful although some of the neighbors were doing some type of drill work late at night and startled our sleeping 2 year old . Other than that I felt at home #countrygirl

Our stay was really nice. The townhouse was beautiful and very clean. It had all the necessary amenities anyone could ask for. It was centrally located to all the places we wanted to see and we enjoyed how we felt at home from the minute we walked in. We would definitely stay there again.

Kristie’s place was great; felt very clean and comfortable. We loved that she provided a basket of local info and menus. We also enjoyed the waterfront view and using the provided kayaks in the cove. The patio furniture was very comfy, clean, and relaxing. Loved seeing the deer visit us most days. Kristie’s communication was outstanding from beginning to end with clear and easy instructions. Highly recommend!

We so enjoyed our stay!! I frequent the Mathews area for a variety of reasons, but this was by far one of the most beautiful waterfront views I’ve seen at any place I’ve stayed. Buddy and Robin were extremely communicative and flexible— we were in town for a wedding with specific event timings and were able to check-in early to spruce up after travels. Which was SO helpful since some of our group had driven from Cleveland. We ended up spending quite a bit of time doing wedding activities out and about, but I crave coming back here and being able to relax at the beautiful pier and taking a kayak out. Would book again! The proximity to Bethel Beach should be a major selling point. It’s a wonderful walk with great birding opportunities!!

Responsive even before I booked. As pictured. Accommodated 5 of us very comfortably. Friends stayed one half block up I liked our place much better!

Wonderful stay. Bay Lake Escape is charming, comfortable, and impeccably clean. Betty was a friendly and proactive communicator, offering clear instructions for check in and check out, a digital guidebook, and even a video walk through of the house. The house is well-stocked from the bathrooms to the kitchen; we ate in most days and had all the utensils and appliances we needed for cooking and baking. There are so many thoughtful touches, both decorative and practical: fluffy towels, a jug of filtered water, assorted comfortable seating options (we loved the trestle table and the backyard seating!) dishes especially for the kids. We especially loved the porch and balcony, as we could still enjoy the outdoors on the day it rained. The house is located about two blocks from the beach, making for an easy walk even loaded down with beach supplies. I cannot say enough good things about this place. Thank you, Betty, for the amazing stay!

We had a wonderful stay. The accommodations were outstanding, the staff was also outstanding.

It was nice and clean! Would stay again!

I would definitely stay here again! My absolute favorite part was the deck outside. It had so much seating and a table with an umbrella. The home was lovely. The queen size bed was comfy. The space on the side of the bed with the wall is awkward because the intake vent is there, and that vent is also loud and annoying. Just wear earplugs! We added two of the wooden tray tables from the closet as night stands. The house is clean except the floor, which I'd imagine is hard to sweep or mop because the boards have shifted, making the floor uneven with cracks through out. So the floor felt and looked a bit dirty, but you're by the beach with sand, so eh not a problem.

Everything went well for my stay-cation. I am familiar with the area and decided to try one of the Airbnbs. The apartment was clean, quiet, and we'll appointed. My only issue was actually with the Airbnb app, it kept lagging for both of us when we messaged each other. All in all, a great atay.

My friends and I stayed for a few days the space was clean and comfortable we felt right at home sitting in the living room together on the big couch, we needed something small just to accommodate the few of us and this worked perfectly not far from stores and fast food which we liked overall great place! We would stay again .

This past weekend, my partner and I celebrated our wedding and needed a welcoming space to host my adult children, their families, and one of our officiants. The Pearly Oyster proved to be the perfect choice. From the moment they arrived, they were captivated by the home's thoughtful layout, breathtaking views, immaculate cleanliness, and the delightful abundance of board games. Lindsay and Randy’s communication was impeccable—keeping me informed every step of the way, allowing me to seamlessly update my group without ever needing to follow up. I cannot recommend The Pearly Oyster highly enough—an exceptional experience all around.

Our family of 7 had a wonderful stay. Everything was clean and tidy when we arrived and we felt at home right away. The location was fantastic- private and peaceful but also very convenient to walk out the door and be on the beach in a couple of minutes. My favorite feature was all the amenities provided by the hosts- beach towels, laundry detergent, games and books for the kids, etc. Even just having access to a broom and dustpan to sweep up the sand we tracked in was very helpful (and something we have missed in past Airbnb experiences). We would definitely recommend Richard’s place and would love to stay here again in the future.

The cottage was as described and then some! The pictures showed a good sample of the property. The host was very welcoming and pleasant to chat with. There was a binder inside with recommendations for sights and places to see. We were able to enjoy the sunset off the pier while swimming in the water. The natural beauty and tranquility of the land made the stay so worthwhile.

A wonderful house on the water! If I’m ever in the area again I will certainly check this place out!

If you are looking for a peaceful place to relax and enjoy the water and nature this is it. The house had a spacious living room and dining room and the kitchen was fully loaded. We loved having morning coffee on the back deck and an evening glass of wine on the screened in front porch. Enjoyed seeing all the herons on the water. Kilmarnock was only minutes away for shopping and dining. Overall great weekend.

Loved the home and property. Will be back to visit again!

This old log cabin school house, this was one of the most amazing experiences our family has ever had in an Airbnb. The history in this home is something like I’ve never witnessed before in my life. You can feel the love that has been poured into this unique stay. It felt like home with endless bonuses found throughout the home, carriage house and property. Richard was an incredible host and this was by far the most personable experience we have ever had in all our years using Airbnb. You can feel the peacefulness this place offers from the moment you turn onto the driveway. The sunsets are breathtaking and we saw deer, turkey and a ton of other wildlife daily. One night right after sunset my husband caught a 24” speckled trout! Our four children, ages 12, 9, 4 and 1, all had a blast. We brought a baby gate for the living room/kitchen doorways and it was perfect! Downtown Mathews is adorable and we loved the visitor center. Definitely check this place out if you have the opportunity ?

This was exactly what we were looking for! Less than an hour from our busy city to pure peaceful, country living but still lots to do without even leaving the property. The kids stayed well entertained. Playing cornhole, fishing, ping pong or simply swinging on the swing before making s’mores. We will definitely be returning as us adults could just relax and enjoy the views. 5⭐️ without a doubt.
