The cottage was fantastic! We only had a short time there because my daughter got married at Wilton House Plantation. The cottage was very clean and well maintained and had everything we needed and more. We plan to come back this upcoming summer for another visit to enjoy the kayaking and the outside fire pit area. It is so quiet and peaceful, and the view is gorgeous! Rent this place and you definitely won't be disappointed!
One of the best VRBO's we've ever stayed in! The property was extremely clean and exactly as described. We appreciated the little touches by the owners - jars of individually wrapped q-tips and make-up remover, fluffy bathroom towels, a full candy jar stocked with chocolate just to name a few. We would definitely return to this property.
Even though hurricane Ophelia showed herself, we had a perfect stay.. the river held its own beauty, showing off whitecaps and stormy clouds. We were just as cozy as we could be on the screen porch, and loved every minute of it. Once the storm passed, we were able to fish and crab from the dock, and do well in both. Definitely one of our favorites VRBO stays and we will be back.
We enjoyed how clean and updated the property was. We really enjoyed the mornings and evenings on screened in porch watching sunrises and sunsets. Was nicer then anticipated!
From the minute we walked through the door, we felt instant calm. This is one of my top 2 vrbo experiences ever! So clean and welcoming with so many amenities. The kitchen was fully stocked with dishes, cooking utensils, you name it which was helpful since we cooked so much due to food allergies. Quiet neighborhood in a very welcoming town with so many sightseeing areas within 45 minutes. The highlight of this rental is the amazing, large screened in porch and private dock with a picnic table. We made sure we were home each evening to enjoy the sunset and then enjoy the porch listening to sounds of nature and breathing in the pine trees. While we didn't get a chance to use the firepit, kayaks, etc. we will definently be back to try everything out. The owners have truly thought of everything!
The moment we walked in, we knew we weren't going to want to leave! What a find! This place had so many amenities, was beautifully decorated and everything was comfortable! If you're a nature, water or sunset lover, THIS is the place for you! Already missing our nightly sunsets from the dock and sitting out on the huge screened in porch listening to all the sounds from nature and smelling the pines. We did a lot of sightseeing/daytrips each day but made sure to be home for the sunsets! We will definitely be back! And, we'll definitely try out the kayaks and have a fire next time around. The minute we walked in the stress melted away and calm took over. Oh and one last thing, the neighborhood was very quiet and welcoming as was the town, everyone was very friendly.
Your place is attractive, up to date, and nicely organized- except for the large heavy butcher block on top of the stove, with no place to stash it. The beds and pillows were very comfortable.
My wife and I had a wonderful week long stay at this cottage on Ferry Creek. We loved the location and found the house very comfortable. We enjoyed the dock where we caught a few crab, used the kayaks, and enjoyed sitting under the umbrella to read. We also loved the view from the house and having a screened in porch - the sunsets are great. We would love to stay again. Owners etc were responsive and have a great place.
It was a perfect cottage. Very relaxing. Had everything we needed. Was very clean. Would love to stay again.
Our family of four enjoyed a four-day Easter weekend at this beautiful cottage. The weather on the first day was nice enough for kayaking. Kayaks are great and the river is an easy and beautiful paddle. Unfortunately, the temperatures turned cold, but we had a great time sitting on the porch, enjoying the views, and spending time together. The house is immaculately clean and given the weather, we enjoyed all the snuggly blankets. We had everything we needed for cooking and we had a great night at the firepit. I highly recommend this location and plan to visit again for a girls getaway weekend with my closest friend.
Everything was wonderful! Perfect place to relax and enjoy the Chesapeake Bay area.
Beautiful cottage. Had everything we needed. Very relaxing. Very clean and comfortable. Would love to stay again
We had a great time at the Ferry Creek Cottage. The location is beautiful and amenities are great too! We had a peaceful, relaxing weekend.
Great weekend getaway!
Fabulous property for our getaway. Clean and love all the amenities. Comfortable and we were thrilled to find the little coolers so we could go on a picnic.
We had a wonderful quiet and relaxing time. The property was clean and easy to live in. 15 minutes to several great restaurants in Gloucester and 30 minutes to one of the best oyster experiences we have ever had.
This property is charming and makes a lovely place for a couple's getaway. The home has been well appointed and provides three wonderful ways to take in the beautiful river view--an enormous screened-in porch, a fun fire pit that doubles as a grill, and seating on the private dock. My husband and I enjoyed every minute of our stay & would definitely book this home again in the future.
We enjoyed our stay. The cottage was so nice and well appointed. I would stay there again.
What an amazing experience it was staying at Ferry Creek Cottage. I typically don't leave reviews when staying at homes - but this one deserved it! My boyfriend and I stayed for 4-nights, but easily would've stayed for the month, if we could have. Whether in the house, on the back porch, on the dock, or paddling down river in the kayaks, we had smiles on our faces the entire trip. The house was cleaned to perfection, down to every detail. EVERYTHING that you could've possibly wanted or needed was provided within the house. I have never stayed at an airbnb with more amenities and activities available to us. Between the Kayaks, Fishing Poles, Crab Trap, Grill / Fire Pit, all of our wants and needs were provided to make us feel like we truly didn't need to leave the property once. That being said, when we did explore neighboring towns we happed upon some really cute date night spots and antique shopping as well that made the experience all the better. Ferry Creek Cottage is truly a little oasis, and you can't help but feel at home and happy when staying there. The host was accommodating and gracious, provided wonderful recommendations on local spots to stop by, and our booking experience was both simple and straight-forward. I already can't wait to book my next stay ASAP!
