Spectacular Riverfront Retreat with Kid-Friendly Beach. Enjoy the ‘Riva Life’!

Discover the breathtaking riverfront six-bedroom getaway located in Mathews. Imagine waking up to the spectacular views of the East River. Watch the sunrise on one side of the wraparound porch and the sunset from another side. You'll have everything you need to make the most of your stay, including free WiFi for 18 devices, a fully stocked laundry room with large washing machine and dryer. Multiple kayaks, a pedal boat for four, bikes, corn hole and life jackets in multiple sizes are available for your use with no extra charge. There are also crab pots with a crab steamer, large and small, to cook your catch.

Spend your days exploring the nearby points of interest, then return to your home-away-from-home and enjoy the fully stocked and newly renovated chefs kitchen. Large refrigerator plus extra fridge on enclosed back porch, double ovens with built-in air fryers, double dishwashers, 36” 5 burner cooktop, dedicated coffee bar and favorite adult beverage area.

The kitchen cabinets have been built with comfort in mind. Pull-out drawers have replaced shelves so you can easily find what you need. Quartz countertops make clean-up easy. Dedicated baking drawers with supplies. There is an entire cabinet from ceiling to floor of pull-out drawers for our guests supplies.

The large dining table has seating for 12 so everyone can gather for family meals. There is also an outdoor white Pottery Barn table on the wraparound porch to eat overlooking the river. If you are lucky, you might see the pods of dolphins that come up the river. Step outside from the back porch and fire up the grill for all your grilling needs. Propane tanks are provided.

When it's time to unwind, sink into the comfortable large leather sectional sofa in the “riva” room or head out to the porch and take in the stunning water views. The children will enjoy playing on the play set while the parents can see them from the kitchen. At night, enjoy the fire pit with Adirondack chairs for 12 with firewood provided. The beach area is perfect for children to become comfortable in the water. Beach chairs, loungers are provided as well as plastic chairs you can literally sit in the river! You can challenge your loved ones to a game night with the selection of games provided.

This vacation home has everything you need for a truly memorable stay. Immerse yourself in the beauty of the beachfront location and create lasting memories with your family and friends.
