Making memories
We are again so grateful to have the opportunity to return to Smiths Beach and stay at this wonderful home. The home has everything you could ask for and more. The owners are the epitome of southern hospitality . the rare time we have called with a question or concern they answered immediately. The grounds are quite large and the view of the bay from the porch and kitchen are beautiful. The sunsets are spectacular. We think it's the best home on the beach and we have stayed at many over the past 50 years.

A Cozy Cottage on the Bay
This efficient little property on the Eastern Shore was home for a week to grandparents, parents and grandchildren. It was nicely appointed and had a wonderful view and pretty awesome beach. It was a little tight for our eight people, including three children under ten and we didn't have as much July sunshine as we wanted. Overall, though, a lovely, clean and comfortable spot with lots of fun amenities and close to shopping and Cape Charles.

Our October getaway was met with pleasant sunny weather with some windy days. We enjoyed the knotty pine interior and great sunsets every night. We thoroughly enjoyed the fishing and kayaking around Smith beach. Our host was very responsive to the few questions we had. Thanks for a great stay.

Vacation with family
This property was perfect for my little family. The views and sunset were beautiful and I already miss having coffee on the screen porch and ending the day watching the sunset. The sandy beach was perfect form my 3 and 6 year old grandchildren. The AC was not working when we arrived but the owners took care of it immediately and had someone fix it the next morning. There is a keurig coffee maker but not a regular coffee pot. We thoroughly enjoyed our week and will most likely book again next year.

We again had a great time at Bayview Cottage at Smith's Beach. The cottage is so comfortable. It's so nice to have the beautiful view of the bay and family close by in other cottages along the road. It's like coming home in some ways since my mother was born in a house still standing off Rt 13 in Machipongo all our VA. cousins are still residing in the vicinity. Thank you again for a wonderful visit.
