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!"

Other tidbits:

There are 4 owner provided kayaks, beach chairs, & bikes available for guests' use. Guests may keep their boat at nearby Morningstar Marina for a fee or anchor boats capable of floating in shallow water in front of cottage. Sorry, no trailered boats allowed to be kept on premises.

Quiet community offers residents & guests a beach area, pier, seasonal pool, tennis court, and a basketball goal.

Couples retreat
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.

Just what we needed
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!

Anniversary Getaway
The pictures are exactly what you get. The great view, water close enough to touch with steps right down to it. Unfortunately it was windy, rainy and cold while we were there, but the hot tub warmed us up and the view was still spectacular. It would be the perfect spot in warmer weather with all of the outside amenities. We would stay again.

Short getaway
Beautiful cozy cottage with amazing views. Everything was just as described. The heated bathroom, fireplaces and hot tub made the stay even more enjoyable. Only downside was aunts were on the kitchen counter that is not the owners fault. The other disappointment was the last night we were there we were in the hot tub around 8pm and we kept hearing something and seeing strange lights. It scared us and we got inside to find out some guy backed up to the front door and was unloading firewood and putting it on the side of the house and was fixing the wood pile. He was there for a good 1/2 hour or so. Very intrusive especially with all the windows. We were not sure if it was the neighbor or the owner. We would have given this 5 stars if it wasn’t for the firewood guy.
