About this property
MILLION $ VIEWS NO EXTRA CHARGE! HOT TUB! POOL! BEACH! RESORT-LIKE AMENITIES!
"Now this is the life!" "A little piece of paradise!" "Livin the Dream!" "It doesn't get any better than this!" Just a few thoughts that may cross your mind when you come for a stay at The Cottage at Misti Cove.
While the name may be simple, don't let that fool you, for so are the best things in life! Getting a taste of the simple life doesn't mean you have to sacrifice amenities. Here, you'll enjoy resort-like amenities without resort crowds. Amenities like free WIFI, large outdoor pool, beach area, tennis court, and pier. Extras that even most resorts don't provide like your very own private extra large waterfront hot tub, private waterfront gas fireplace chat set, Relaxation Station ( a waters-edge private beach-like lounging area with adirondack chairs, table for 2, and wood fire pit ), your very own tiki bar, 2 indoor fireplaces, 4 tv/dvd players, 4 owner provided kayaks, 4 owner provided beach chairs, beach towels, 4 owner provided bikes, .......
With this storybook waterfront cottage you'll get EXTREMELY CLOSE-UP views of the Piankatank River at its widest point as it feeds into an arm of the Atlantic Ocean, the Chesapeake Bay, which is North America's largest estuary. Whether you're inside, or out, the expansive water views are unsurpassed! In fact, I know of no other vacation rental in the area where the home itself is so close to the water. Our cottage is the only home in the small 22 home Misti Cove community that is rented short term.
They don't allow homes to be built this close to the water around here anymore. The water is so close you could cast a fishing line into the water from your rear deck. You'll actually have to go out a little farther to catch the fish but the point is, 'you could'. Check out the pictures. The water is just as close as it appears. After all, it's all about the water..... so don't sacrifice on the view. YOU'RE COMING TOO FAR NOT TO HAVE EXCELLENT WATER VIEWS!
Viewing the sunrise over the water while laying in bed is unforgettable! Watching the sunset illuminate the sky while soaking in your private hot tub on your private waterfront deck is sure to leave a lasting memory as well. From here, you'll also be able to soak in abundant wildlife and marine life such as osprey, eagles, seagulls, deer, jumping fish, crabs, sting rays, and many other species known to the area. It'll almost be like vacationing in a wildlife and marine observatory at the same time.
While not gazing at the surrounding natural beauty, you won't be disappointed with the aesthetics of the cottage either. It's been recently remodeled on the outside and the bath has been renovated. BATH FEATURES: - LED RAINFALL SHOWER HEAD - JETS ON OPPOSITE SHOWER WALLS ( FOR YOU AND YOURS) - SHOWER WAND - WAVY MARBLE TILE WITH BEACH STYLE GLASS MOTHER OF PEARL RESIN TRIM - TUMBLED STONE FLOOR - TOWEL WARMER - HEATED FLOOR
But that's not all! Cottage is furnished with top quality furnishings and offerings throughout for maximum coziness! Master bedroom has queen size bed w/Novaform gel memory foam mattress, 2nd bedroom has daybed w/pop-up trundle underneath that can convert the daybed to either a king size bed or two separate twin size beds. Both mattresses are memory foam as well. The Living Room, Enclosed Porch ('No Wake Zone'), Master Bedroom, and 2nd bedroom have high definition tv's with dvd players. Cable programming brought to you by Breezeline.
Kitchen is fully furnished with refrigerator, microwave, oven/stove, dishwasher, coffee maker, toaster, blender, crock pot, garbage disposal, pots, pans, dishes, glasses, cups, & all the utensils you'll need to prepare a feast.
Kitchen, Living Room, Master BR, and 2nd BR have bamboo floors for that far away exotic feel!
There's more than meets the eye as well. However, rather than take pictures of inside the closets and cupboards, let me just tell you you'll find things like fluffy resort quality towels, a towel warmer, quality quilts/bedspreads, and an assortment of tiki bar accessories to name just a few.
Outside on the deck facing the waterfront there is a tiki bar, propane grill, extra large hot tub and fireplace chat set to lounge around and take off the chill on those cooler nights. If you've still got some energy left to relax, then maybe you could meander on down to the hammock a little closer to the water and rest for a spell. The hammock is canopied by two trees so once you get here you'll have it "made in the shade". Still got a little energy and perhaps feeling a little adventurous? You are now ready for the Relaxation Station... the mini beach-like area with adirondack chairs, a wood burning fire pit, and table for 2 just a sea shells throw from the water. FOR VARIETY, TRY IN REVERSE! Remember, while you're here you've got nothing but time, so why not relax and make it go as slow as possible.
Come stay for awhile and let time slow down. You'll soon find yourself saying, "Now this is the life!"

Our stay was lovely. We enjoyed the view, the amenities available on the property and the everyone we met in the nearby small towns were delightfully friendly.
We had a great time staying here. We used the pool, hot tub and kayaks. The view is beautiful and the neighbors are very friendly. There is not much to do close by but there is so much to do at the house we didnt get bored.
Stole away for a long weekend and this did not disappoint. Everything was perfectly cozy and relaxing - exactly what I was looking for. If I didn't live a 4 hour plane ride away, I think I'd be back more frequently; but I certainly will return!
I think this was our 5th or 6th Valentine's Day week stay. It was wonderful, as always. Cozy little house, comfy bed, fabulous bathroom, fantastic hot tub. A good place to settle in and take a break. The views are amazing. We had kind of crappy weather, but it's a nice place to snuggle in warmly when it's cold and rainy/snowy out. The fireplaces available at the push of a button make things homey and romantic.
Impressed by this quiet and safe community. This property is a slice of heaven. So much to see and do! Need to stay longer next time just to experience every aspect of this rental. The views all day long were spectacular. The owner really has thought of everything for the renters to just show up and enjoy being on the Rivah!
My husband and I booked this property for a cozy winter weekend away. This is one of those properties that ends up being BETTER in person than the listing indicated. We didn't even leave the house the entire weekend. The kitchen was so well stocked that we just cooked our meals. The hot tub was so clean, relaxing and had he BEST view of the river. We were lucky enough for it to snow while were were there. It was a gorgeous scene! I really can't say enough good things about this property - they really thought of everything to make our stay incredible!
I knew when I found this listing that I may have uncovered a hidden gem and I was right! We stayed just for a long weekend but everything was cozy and the local towns were so friendly. We definitely enjoyed White Dog Bistro, Southwind Pizza and Richardsons. Even though we ate out most of our time, the house had most of the essentials if you chose to cook there. The hot tub and fire pit were favorites, we stopped at Food Lion just to get Marshmallows to roast. My husband caught lots of fish while kayaking and at night from the fire pit area and community dock. Definitely keeping this spot on our list for next year's getaway, maybe we'll even bring the kids with us.
The cottage was great for the two of us. Very quiet and relaxing. You can't really relax on the beach though because when the tide comes in it disappears. We went to Haven Beach to relax and swim - just a short drive away. But you can sit by the fire pit and enjoy the serene scene with jumping fish and herons. The cottage was well equipped with almost everything we needed for our stay. The tennis court was unusable - the picture does not reflect its current condition. The pool looks nice but we never actually tried it because we couldn't figure out how to unlock the gate - there is a key but we couldn't find the lock! Overall, we enjoyed our stay.
Long weekend to reconnect with my husband. This was perfect. We actually preferred to hang out at the cottage as opposed to going out.
This cottage has some great personal touches. Heated bathroom floor and towel rack. Heated blanket. Beautiful electric fireplace in the bedroom. Fantastic private hot tub, sheltered from the elements, wood supplied for the fire pit, electric wine opener. A shed full of things to do - bikes, kayaks, fishing rods, outdoor games. Inside there is a variety of games, puzzles & books. The scenery was stunning!
A very responsive & accommodating host.
Quick getaway for relaxation and this house did not disappoint. Amazing views, hot tub was perfect and the owner was great on communicating everything!
This was a quick get away for myself and my loved one for my birthday that was perfect. We had the best time playing in the water with the paddleboard, fishing, cooking on the grill, relaxing in the hot tub.
This little cottage is exactly as stated. We were only there 2 days and we had the best time! The property manager was great and we would definitely stay here again and would definitely suggest it for others!
Although this property is a little far from “touristy”attractions, it is exactly what one hopes for on vacation. The house and property has all the amenities you could hope for; hot tub, community pool, beach and more. We loved spending time together in the backyard and watching the fish jump as the sun set. Our family enjoyed our stay immensely and my son is already asking when we can come back.
We had a peaceful and relaxing stay. Even though it was January, the weather was warm and pleasant. Greatly enjoyed the hot tub, fireplaces, wildlife, and quiet neighborhood!
Easy to rent and beautiful getaway. Decorated beautiful has everything you need bring clothes and flip flops. Beautiful decor touches every where. Home is as pictured.
When it says everything you need they mean it. The only thing that came up that wasn't in this home ready for us was food. If you want to add catering that would be nice.
We couldn't be happier ! Our 31st anniversary will be unforgettable! The view, the little details all over the house, the magic of this place! Everything perfect! Thank you!
