Quiet Riverfront House with Private Sandy Beach. Close to Colonial Williamsburg.

Welcome to your wonderful waterfront retreat at the Getaway River House and escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life as you arrive at this hidden gem on the York River! Nestled just a stone's throw away from the historic charm of Williamsburg and Yorktown, this serene sanctuary offers the perfect blend of convenience and tranquility. With accommodations for 10, the Getaway is an ideal location for cozy to large families or multi-family vacations.
Step onto your private white sand beach, where you can enjoy swimming, fishing, crabbing, birdwatching, and kayaking or paddleboarding. The warm sand beckons you to unwind and soak up the sun's warm embrace while relaxing with a good book. Immerse yourself in river life and take advantage of the crabbing, fishing, canoeing, and kayaking right at your doorstep. Guests will find beach chairs, a canoe, life jackets, and miscellaneous beach equipment like noodles, rafts, etc. for their use during their stay at the Getaway.
For a day of adventure explore the surrounding area with a trip to historic Yorktown just over the bridge (4 miles), cruise the scenic Colonial Parkway to Colonial Williamsburg and Jamestown (18.2 miles), spend the day at Busch Gardens (17 miles) or get in a round or 2 of golf at one of the many gorgeous courses the area has to offer!
Whip up delicious meals in the beautiful recently renovated full kitchen, equipped with all the essentials including double ovens, refrigerator, ice maker, dishwasher, and microwave. Plenty of cookware and kitchen gadgets including a drip coffee maker and a Keurig, a blender, a griddle, and lots of little extra kitchen gadgets. Enjoy your culinary creations in the dining area, step out onto the sun porch, or enjoy the outdoor table and glider all offering picturesque views of the river for an alfresco dining experience you won’t soon forget. If you’re looking to grill out a charcoal grill is available too. We include some basic staples to get you started including some paper products, some dish soap, and of course fresh linens for the beds and bath towels.
Traditionally available for weekly rentals, we also offer flexible arrangements for weekend getaways or split-week stays, perfect for accommodating your family or friends visiting from out of town. Why settle for the ordinary when you can experience the extraordinary at the Getaway River House with Private Beach?

The Getaway is a large free-standing home on about an acre lot. We have a couple of caretakers who live nearby to take care of the grass and provide assistance should any emergency pop up that needs immediate attention. Book your escape today and make memories to last a lifetime.

Rustic Getaway, Off beaten Path
This home is very humble and cozy, which is to say, if you're into amenities and shiny things, it's not for you. We had (4) adults and (6) kids all in the rental, which had adequate spacing and sleeping arrangements, linens and towels all provided. It's a true weathered lake cabin, with canoe, fishing poles, and the likes. Wonderful family and friend memories made.

Good Place at a Great price
The house is very big and accommodating. The yard and beach access was a major plus. There was a cockroach inside which was slightly off putting but not a huge deal. We requested sheets which they kindly provided. Communication was great and check in/out was seamless.

Riverfront Weekend Stay
The house really needs a deep clean, and some maintenance items need to be addressed.The kitchen was not well stocked with silverware, and there's a limited selection of cookware. None of the bathrooms had hand soap or hand towels, and we had to purchase kleenex and toilet paper. These are generally provided in VRBO rentals.There's not much room in the "living room", considering the number of bedrooms. The layout of the house is odd, broken up into small areas. Several of the flooring thresholds are trip hazards.The upstairs has a nice play area for kids.The kitchen is very large, with a large table and bar area. Double ovens was a plus. The view of the river is nice.We parked 4 cars without issue. The property shares a driveway and parking area with a neighboring rental. Our trashcan was full after a three night stay.

Suggestions
We enjoyed our stay. It was relaxed and enjoyable ! The only comments I would like to make for fix, not so much negative ! Water pressure in the showers was low, the back porch door closure jammed and we removed it, laid it on porch table to secure the door. Private beach alot of seaweed, kids not able to play in sand or water

Beautiful place to stay!
My group had so much fun with the private beach! The canoe was such a great amenity along with the ping pong table. Would definitely say to make sure you bring your own toilet paper and paper towels etc, but other than that had a fabulous stay in an absolutely beautiful area. Would recommend this vacation to anyone.

Overall nice house, big enough for the family to spread out and have their own space. Location was perfect and the neighbors were friendly. The house was clean but could use an overall deep clean.

Spring Break Getaway
We stayed the week for our spring break and the property did not disappoint. Besides the well appointed rooms and the kitchen the luxury of the private beach felt most special. It was hard to step away from the shores of the York with such lovely weather, however we did manage to explore the historical and significant sites that were so close to our stay. With every visit we find something new and look forward to another visit soon.

Great waterfront location.
We used the house as home base for day trips to Richmond and Yorktown. We wished had more days to go elsewhere this trip. My wife especially liked the York River waterfront. We actually saw a dolphin close to shore one evening!

better than the listing!!
Truly amazing stay! The house is terrific and a great place to be out of the way of the bustle, while still remaining close enough to nearby activities. Like i said, we were blown away by how much better the property is than the listing gives it justice! It was a bit confusing to find the first time, as the number isnt displayed on the road. But if you have sharp eyes, you'll find it. If you want to swim, pay attention to what the tides are doing. But the water was amazing. Only true complaint: many of the windows were hard to operate, or almost completely inoperable. But this had an extremely limited impact on our enjoyment of our time there. Check in and check out also super easy. Would stay again!

Hidden gem!
Our family of 7 enjoyed this home! There was something for everyone to do! My 8 year and 11 year old especially loved the beach area. They caught so many crabs and spent hours there! It’s close enough to the parks but far enough away from all the town life. We had deer, frogs, lizard visitors. The space of the house was perfect as well as a fully stocked kitchen! Neighbors are extremely nice too! Would recommend picking this home!
