Cottage holiday rentals in Williamsburg

We loved our stay! The week flew by. Great location.

Our stay in this home was such a treat! We enjoyed utilizing the kayaks to boat around in Chesapeake Bay. The hot tub was an absolute delight, perfect for evening stargazing, saw lots of shooting stars, and could see the water of the bay from the hot tub. We also enjoyed doing November cold plunges from the hot tub to the pool. While the living room is not expansive, it fit our needs for family game & movie nights. The bed linens were so comfortable, and Lori was beautifully responsive & friendly when we would reach out with a question. We also enjoyed the nearby Sandy beaches.

We had a great time staying here! Clean, modern, fully stocked home just as described in the listing and photos. The sunsets over the water are indescribable. Relaxing hot tub, wonderful outdoor space, lovely campfires, and comfortable bed and bath rooms made our trip stress free and extremely enjoyable. We barely left the property - we felt right at home. Our point of contact host, Ana, was very responsive and communicative. Would definitely recommend! Look forward to booking again in the future! Thank you for a vibey holiday weekend!

We loved staying here! The location was great and it was roomy. Super close to the beach, great outdoor amenities, and a nice porch. Host was quick to respond. We pretty much had the beach to ourselves, it was like a private getaway! There were a few cons: very noisy upstairs guests (I know this can’t be helped, but it was bad,) the parking spaces were EXTREMELY tight and one of the guests kept parking in 2 spaces instead of one. There was a narrow gravel driveway offered, but if someone parked behind you then you couldn’t leave. The WiFi wasn’t strong enough to watch tv, we had to keep pausing it so it would load a little. All in all it was a great deal and would definitely stay here again!

Enjoyed the stay. Comfy beds with wonderful cotton linens. Cute interior. Nice, quiet off season experience. John’s recommendations for smaller local favorite restaurants were good choices. Nearby recreation centers offer day passes and lots of indoor activities for cold or rainy days. Just right for our family trip. Highly recommend.

This place is amazing.... We had an awesome family vacation!!

We enjoyed our stay at Poseidon. The carriage house was perfect for us, and had everything we needed for our vacation. We appreciated having the chairs and umbrellas so we didn’t have to bring our own. We’d definitely love to come and stay again.

We wanted a retreat from busy life and a place to all come together and this place did not disappoint. We enjoyed crabbing and fishing every day and throughout our five night stay we were amazed at all this place had to offer. Beds were comfortable and kitchen had all the necessities.

We had an amazing time. The house was perfect for us. We really enjoyed the pool and short walk to the beach. We could hear the ocean from the master suite. The upstairs deck had view of the water. Everything about our stay was perfect. The area was nice and was quiet and peaceful. We will definitely go back and stay longer next year. Thank you!!!

This was our 1st visit to The Crab Shack. All I can say is Wow, just Wow! This was the cleanest, nicest and cutest Airbnb that we have ever stayed at over the years! It was amazing! My husband and I traveled from Sarver, PA with our 2 Golden Retrievers to celebrate our 10 year Wedding Anniversary! We all had the best time ever! We spent most of the time here at the Shack just cooking on the grill and listening to music and the girls did a lot of swimming fetching for balls! Thank you Carlisle and Mary for making our 10 year Anniversary simply perfect! ❤️☀️😎🥂🍾🦀 We can’t wait to come back! ☺️

My husband and I had an absolutely wonderful time and the home played a big part in this. I was so impressed with all the extras that I just never see in other homes. The house is so cozy and such a beautiful location. Just perfect for relaxation. We will definitely want to come back. Thank you Cornelia for opening up your home to us.

We had a great time at Diana’s place. The water access was awesome and we had lots of fun with the kayaks. We were able to walk through a wooded trail to a nearby restaurant which was so nice. The location felt private and naturally beautiful while being not far from grocery stores and restaurants. Diana’s neighborhood is beautiful and the space is charming and comfortable. Such a fun way to see the Chesapeake, we would love to come back!

Great house. Perfect location easy access to the beach! Lovely front yard! Plenty of room and had absolutely everything we needed. Even a sweet goody bag with local items and a dog toy for our dog❤️ Hosts communicate very quickly!! Highly recommend!

Great place for a quick getaway! The beach is right across the road and wasn’t crowded at all during our stay. There’s plenty to do in the surrounding areas and we enjoyed attending the Harbor Fest!

Perfect stay for our weekend getaway. The cottage was so cute and so clean. Susan was so friendly and even had a welcome sign with my name on it! So many recommendations and such great hospitality. Great location! We walked everywhere! Highly recommend!!

The cottage was in a nice quiet neighborhood, could walk the dog, it also has a fenced in yard. The home was exceptionally clean, it has all amenities needed, even a few extras, gas grill, beach chairs etc.. The bed was comfortable. Also enjoyed the water and snack basket that was left with a welcome note. Definitely recommend! Really felt like home! Short drive to restaurants and shops and a 2 minute drive to a cute little beach with lifeguards, restrooms and a free parking lot!

Dave & Anjeli have truly done a wonderful job with this Airbnb. Airbnbs often don't live up to their marketing but I think this is the first one I've encountered that greatly exceeded even our wildest expectations. There's something for everyone whether you're into gaming, music, cooking, the outdoors, or want easy access to town. The house was spotless, fully outfitted, effortless to check in and out, and Dave was perfectly communicative, always available when needed and on top of anything that came up during our stay but never felt overbearing in any way. This was the best experience I've ever had with an Airbnb and we would be happy to stay here again. A word to the wise- the Ladybug is surrounded by a nature preserve so it was buggy with both natural pollinators but also mosquitos and ticks which should come as no surprise given the timing of our stay. Make sure your pets are up to date on their tick preventatives and don't forget your personal pest preventatives. Thanks again!!

This place was just amazing. The views of James River, and even the Jamestown settlement across the river (using binoculars) was just mind-blowing! Kevin and Jamie left a wide variety of amenities that were extremely thoughtful and useful, to include hygiene products, charging cords (which was a life saver because for literally the first time ever, I forgot my phone and iPad cords), coffee, and even a margarita kit! The cottage is so cozy, and was very clean. I’m definitely going to book here again.

We had a great long weekend stay. The house was spacious and well appointed. We loved sitting outside under the stars and playing with the kids in the sunroom. Was such a nice touch to have kids toys at the house and lots of space to gather. We had one issue with the HVAC but each space had a window AC unit and the host was super helpful and responsive. Would 100% recommend and stay again.

The cottage was perfect for us and had everything that we needed! Jimmy was an awesome host and even shared that there was a pod of dolphins in the vicinity of the cottage! We had an amazing time!

We can’t express how much we enjoyed our stay . It was more than we expected ! Rose was so accommodating . And she makes the best Belgium waffle with fresh organic fruit and granola we have ever had . It’s worth every penny !! And the coffee was approved by my husband that’s a Veteran that loves his coffee . Thank you Rose for making our two short days there a great memory . And I’m going to get that outside shower I’ve been wanting for years !!

Mystic Is a quaint, clean and welcoming houae. All details from pictures to knick knacks create a complete theme. Instructions were easy and thoughtful. Communications were prompt and thorough. This home and its owners create a perfect sanctuary.

Our stay at Paige and Grant’s Seaglass Cottage was absolutely perfect—5 stars all around! Their place is beautifully kept, super clean, and in an ideal location—just a short walk to the beach and right in the heart of town, yet tucked away enough to feel private and peaceful. Paige and Grant were incredibly responsive and thoughtful hosts, making everything easy from start to finish. This was our kids’ very first beach trip, and Seaglass Cottage truly made it unforgettable. A short walk to beach or short drive to everything. The home was well-equipped, charming, and felt like a true retreat. We made lasting memories here and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a coastal getaway that’s both relaxing and close to all the action. We will absolutely be back!

My husband and I went for a quick getaway but I wish we would have booked for a longer stay. Andy was a lovely host and very quick to respond if you have any questions or issues. Andy and Michael lives nearby and greet you when you arrive but after they provide a tour, they leave you to have your privacy. Andy gave recommendations for a couple of restaurants, and they were both great!!! We mostly laid low and spent our time on the dock as I love the water and my husband love to fish. We caught a few fish and a few crabs. We enjoy eating breakfast and drinking coffee every morning on the dock as well. Michael and Andy provided beverages, eggs and snacks which was a nice touch. The snacks really came in handy as we only had breakfast food in the house and we enjoyed the lake so much we were really hungry by the time we left out for dinner lol. I will be back but for a longer stay next time.
