Gwynn, Virginia
Welcome to The Sea Captain's House! This lovely dwelling was built in 1910 when Gwynn's Island was only accessible by a ferry. Extensive renovations make The Sea Captain's House a wonderful blend of history & modern conveniences. Every detail has been painstakingly chosen to reflect the vernacular of the historical homes of the past. Period aesthetics allow the visitor to escape to the simpler times of days gone by. A stay at The Sea Captain's House is like taking a journey back in time. A white sand beach is less than 100 steps away from the door. Enjoy swimming, snorkeling or just relaxing on the beach as the waves lap at the shore. There are bikes in the garage to accommodate a fun ride around the island. The kitchen is fully equipped with every item to meet your cooking needs. The living room has comfortable seating with a cozy gas fireplace. Books, games & cards are provided for your enjoyment. The outside deck is the perfect setting place for alfresco dining and midnight star gazing. This traditional "2 over 4" farmhouse is the perfect retreat.
Excellent home with beautiful furnishings. The beach is small. However, Haven Beach is only 20 minutes away and worth the drive. Bethel Beach Natural Area is also worth a visit with nice fishing.
Thank you for the amazing property and hospitality.
Very peaceful stay, short walk from beach, beautiful home, and very gracious host
House and beach are beautiful.
This is a gorgeous property and you can’t ask for a better host! The house is clean, spacious and inviting. There was a big yard that provided plenty of room for the kids to play and bikes for them to ride on safe quiet streets. The beach access was small however we had it to ourselves nearly the entire time and it is plenty big for a family! We met most of the neighbors while we were there and they are very friendly. Gwynn Island is still close enough to day trip to Busch Gardens. We had such a great time, we added an additional night to our stay! Great family vacation!
Well maintained, clean home on the island. The property is in a very quiet area with some friendly neighbors. The beach near the home is very small so we drove to Haven Beach a couple of times which is about 20 minutes away. There were some board and card games to play in the evening and bikes to ride during the day.
Our family loved the Sea Captains House! It brought back a lot of wonderful memories of growing up every weekend on the island. The house is decorated beautifully and the owners have put a lot of thought into everything you might need while staying there! We have already booked our next stay!
Everything went as expected as the check-in scheme was flawless, very clean, very well stocked for multi-day stay, location was great and has an excellent overall stay.
