Summary: The property was exceptional! Clearly the owner put a great deal of thought into furnishing the home and provided every possible amenity. We enjoyed kayaking in the Chesapeake from our private beach and relaxing on the spacious deck. Gwynn's Island and the neighboring towns of Mathews, Gloucester and Kilmarnock were charming. We're already planning to return next October. Thank you ... it was a perfect vacation!
