Starlight Inlet, a quiet getaway on beautiful Gwynn's Island, VA.

Welcome to our quiet corner of Gwynn’s Island! It may be cool outside but you can relax inside with a movie or book, warm up around the firepit, take a walk to the beach, or go shopping. The home is clean and stocked with everything you need for a relaxing visit. Drive 10 minutes to Mathews for great restaurants and shopping, or an hour to Yorktown, Jamestown and Williamsburg. Come relax and enjoy some Island Time with us!

Located in a rural coastline, the stars come alive and almost appear within reach on our part of the Island. This beautiful property has been in our family since the 1950's when Scott's granddad bought the property. Granddad would bring his children and camp on the property on weekends. They enjoyed boating and playing over on the beach. Now that this peaceful haven has been passed down to us, we hope others will enjoy their time here just as our family has over the years.

This home is at the end of a private road which offers a quiet getaway. Starlight Inlet is a spacious, updated manufactured home that offers two bedrooms and two full baths. The open floor plan living/kitchen area has a cathedral ceiling, offering lots of light and a roomy, airy feeling. At one end of the home there is a large en-suite bedroom with a queen bed offering a memory foam mattress with down topper, plenty of storage and large bathroom with a garden tub. A smaller bedroom with a full bed offering a memory foam mattress with down topper and plenty of storage is at the other end of the home and is beside the second full bathroom. Both bedrooms and the living room are carpeted. All linens, sheets, blankets and towels are provided and washed fresh for each guest.
