3 BR Bay Home w Private Dock & all the Amenities

Half Shell Haven: an escape to the land and sea perfectly outfitted for enjoying the fruits of both, in what we like to call "low country" Virginia. The Haven is a beautifully maintained, open concept home with 3 bds and 2 baths that can comfortably sleep 8. A full kitchen and dining area (in- and outdoors) are at your disposal for enjoying the local bounty with friends and family. The backyard includes a game shed (with bar!), a hot tub and a private dock for crabbing or kayaking, or both.

The space:
Half Shell Haven has all the amenities to make you and yours feel right at home during your stay. The outdoors give access to the best of both worlds, with the private dock and waterfront access as well as trails throughout the wooded property.

The living room includes a TV with access to multiple streaming services, including Netflix, Disney and Fubo. The living room is wrapped in walls of windows to showcase the beautiful setting; a sliding door opens to the patio (with dining table and hot tub). The wood stove is available for use, subject to the owner’s express prior approval.

The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you’d need to prepare a home cooked meal, if that’s the plan. Full pots / pans and baking ware set, as well as pantry staples. Available for use is a Keurig coffee machine, a toaster, hand mixer and waffle maker. An island with chairs for two is available for a quick bite.

Behind the sliding barn door is the washing and drying machine, along with a filtered water system that makes hot and cold water and ice.

The custom handmade dining table seats six and the dining area is flanked on one side by two leather chairs perfect for an after dinner aperitif.

There are three bedrooms: the primary bedroom, with en suite bathroom and private patio, has a queen bed; the second bedroom has a queen bedroom; and the third bedroom has a day bed with a trundle bed, both of which provide single beds.

The third bedroom with day bed works just as perfectly as an office, with the day bed for a comfortable seat and a desk for when more focus might be demanded… WiFi is quick and reliable. Samsung monitor added. Watch TV or hook up your computer for a larger screen view!

The second bathroom is a full bathroom with bathtub.

The outdoors will keep your family equally entertained. A covered porch faces the front yard, while a back porch area, with picnic table and hot tub, overlook Winter Haven Harbor. The primary patio is the third patio.

The backyard includes a game shed (made from a converted garage) with arcade games, a television and a bar with refrigerator. An outdoor shed houses all of the supplies needed to enjoy a day on the water, including water toys and fishing poles.

A private dock, with glide rocker, is the perfect place to watch the sunset or catch crabs and shrimp in the right season. Our family loves to do sunrise and sunset yoga and other workouts from the dock.

Just a short 3 mile drive gets you to Bethel Beach! A scenic trip opens to a beautiful area to relax and enjoy the outdoors.

Other things to note:
The home has a Blink video doorbell. It also has 2 Blink outdoor security cameras: one facing the driveway on the side of the home and one facing the backyard above the doors of the Outdoor Shed. All cameras are disarmed during a guests stay which means it is not recording. We only arm the system when the property is not in use. Please let us know if you have any questions about the security cameras.

Wonderful home!
We wanted a place to get away with our kids before the hustle and bustle of the school year and sports start. It was a perfect home with lots of great amenities and a great location!

Beautiful view and peaceful! Owners did a wonderful job decorating and paying attention to details to ensure we had a lovely stay. The drive to haven beach was pretty too and worth it if you want to get in the water!

Awesome
The house is beautiful and is furnished beautifully. It was immaculate when I arrived. You have any and everything you could want to cook, in the bathroom, extra covers, etc. It has a game shed, floats, kayaks, fishing poles, crab pots, a propane grill, and an inflatable hot tub, just to list some of the amenities. It is very private with beautiful landscaping and a beautiful dock. The property is only a few minutes away from Aaron Beach, Bethel Beach, Haven Beach and the town of Matthews. Jennifer, the owner is outstanding. She responds right away to any correspondence and makes sure you have everything you need and want. I felt so comfortable there and I love this property. I had an awesome time and I am looking forward to coming back!

More Than Expected!
Absolutely Fantastic! Our stay at Half Shell Haven was so much more than expected. Everything we needed was provided. Comfortable beds/pillows! Peaceful and quiet! Waking up to the sounds of nature and sunshine and having coffee on the covered porch with a ceiling fan to circulate the air. Will be staying again. Highly recommend this place for vacation.

Perfect Getaway
We had an awesome weekend at the Half Shell Haven. It is a beautiful property, inside and out. I really can’t say enough good things. Our kids ranging in ages from 5 to 10 years old had an amazing time - as did the adults. The kids loved the game room and fishing and crabbing from the dock. This was the perfect house to enjoy the long weekend with family and friends. Thank you Jennifer for being such a kind and wonderful host! I can’t wait to make the Old Bay chips and dip again - what a nice touch 👌

A perfect family getaway
This property surpassed our expectations. We are a family of 4 with elementary aged children who absolutely loved vacationing here as much as their parents. The game/bar room cannot be beat. Everyone becomes a kid. Jennifer has thought of everything to make your stay wonderful. The house decor is wonderful as though at a boutique hotel just for you. The grounds gave our dog incredible roaming space and the dock was an incredible oasis for all of us. We got to crab with our kids - a memory for a lifetime! Kayaking was easy and so much fun even with your kids. Matthews and Gloucester were great to visit but honestly all you need is a good grocery shop and to hang out at the house.

Enjoyed Everything
Our stay was excellent. We enjoyed the amenities and the various options to choose from (tea, types of water, etc.). Being close to the water we expected the house and the description of it to be exactly as advertised and it was. The views are amazing. Even short walks around the property are treats. The house was clean. All the bedding fits our family’s comfort needs. A private getaway is indeed this house. We will look forward to stopping through again. Thank you for everything!
