The Rivah & Bay Life!
Sailor’s Rest is the perfect Rivah & Bay getaway. Capt Billy and Mary are delightful hosts. The house easily accommodated our two families with four teen girls. Be sure to book the sunset cruise with Capt Billy. We’ve stayed here twice and done his cruise three times. It’s a blast!

Easter Feast
We had a great Easter Weekend at Sailors Rest. Stopped at Rappahannock Oyster Co on the way in and picked up some of the best Oysters on the East coasts. It was a pleasure to sit on the back porch overlooking the water and the dock and catch up with family.

Peaceful Waterfront Getaway
Excellent hospitality from Mary and Captain Billy! Very private and peaceful. Sitting on the back porch watching the water and hearing the breeze in the trees was very relaxing. Nice dock. Quality, clean and comfortable accommodations. Highly recommend fishing and touring the waterways with Captain Billy!

Great anniversary week
We had fun at the property and in the area. It was a perfect combination of relaxation and activities. Our dog was facinated by the crabs and loved walking the property. My husband caught a 14 inch striped bass off the dock. The house was clean, spacious, well decorated and comfortable. The hosts were very friendly and helpful.

Too Nice for Our Business Trip
We stayed at this property in Heathsville to accommodate five guys traveling for business. The property was nice and very comfortable for everyone - we didn't feel like we were in each other's way at the end of the work day. The location and the sunrises were beautiful. It made us wish we were going out to play instead of working each morning! Mary and Billy were so accommodating and awesome to work with. We would come back for a pleasure trip in a heartbeat. It is a great place.

Perfect location for a family re-connect!
Loved our week spent at Sailor's Rest! It was an easy drive from Northern VA but completely different pace once we got there. The house was very clean, loved the rooms and the view out to the water. Kitchen was set up nicely for us to cook in, or to use the grill, which we did several nights. We kayaked and canoed every day, it was so quiet and peaceful out on the water. Plenty of cute towns to explore and find food including Kilmanrock, White Stone, Urbanna and Kinsale. Added bonus was a charter with Captain Billy and getting to know everyone at the marina, you are made to feel like an old friend. Look forward to another visit!

Peaceful Waterside Stay!
Captain Billy and his wife, Mary are the best host! Very attentive to your needs. And this bay side, peaceful house is perfect for a relaxing and fun vacation—equipped with kayaks and a canoe, games, pool table and a fun rec room, and crabbing right off the dock or fishing and the one hour boat ride included is really nice too! The large back porch is nicely laid out with comfortable chairs to enjoy the waterside view and grilling out and eating on the back shaded deck. We want to return to purchase a charter fishing trip to get some help from Captain Billy, and do some real fishing out in the bay or ocean wherever he goes :-). Hope to return soon one day!

Amazing home, amazing Chesapeake Bay views
wow--we loved every second of our stay at Sailors Rest. It is very private, spacious, immaculate, and beautifully furnished including very comfy beds and linens. The huge covered back porch was a wonderful spot to enjoy the views of the chesapeake bay and surrounding marshes. We even had a private dock to tie our boat steps off the porch. Kayaks are provided and it was fun to explore the close by Marina and chat with Captain Billy about the what fish are where and when. A hidden treasure is the acres of preserve on the property to observe wildlife of all kinds. Thank you Mary and Captain Billy for sharing your wonderful home with us. We will return

Wonderful Family Vacation Spot
We had a lovely stay at this property!!! It was our first time in the area, and Mary answered our questions prior to our stay and had several visitor guides placed in the home for us to use. The pier and game room were a hit for the kids and adults. The views of the water from the rooms and deck were absolutely serene. We also really enjoyed the layout of the home. The living room, dining area, and kitchen are centrally located and large spaces. We could hang together as a family and then relax in the bedrooms and not feel like we were stepping over each other. Several of us are into tech and the Internet access did not let us down. We caught several types of fish including flounder, crabs, and even a ray from the pier. Several family members took advantage of the kayaks to view the inlet. We would stay here again and recommend it to others too!

Perfect!!
This place couldn’t be more perfect! My husband and I stayed for a week and a couple of friends joined us for the weekend. There are so many great things to share about this house. Captain Billy fit the 4 of us in for a river cruise on Saturday which was such an added bonus! We enjoyed crabbing and fishing. We caught a good amount of crabs! We kayaked almost every day and even ventured out into the bay with the kayaks. The weather was perfect in September to be out on the water. The creek was so calm and peaceful. We also enjoyed just sitting out on the comfortable back deck (which was so close to the water) and on the Adirondack chairs on the dock. So quiet and serene and private! There was a nice grill (almost new) to grill our meat. We loved taking bike rides with the nice bikes provided! There were nice paved country roads and neighborhoods to explore. The living area was so nicely furnished and spacious with a nice big screen TV. To top it all off the beds were so comfortable!!!! Mary and Captain Billy were wonderful hosts and were always available to help us or answer any questions. We enjoyed our stay so much! It was everything the listing says it is and more!! We can’t wait to come back again!

Away From It All
If you are looking to isolate yourself in a property by the water that is ideal for fishing, crabbing, and boating, this is your house. It was mostly clean, dog friendly, with a dock, and located right beside a marina. If you need internet or conveniences, this is not your place. Internet could not support phone calls without dropping them, and class work/zoom meetings were impossible. The nearest grocery store is 20 minutes away, and many area restaurants have limited hours this time of year. Just for the record, the fireplace is not real (it is a screen), and the "game room" is in an unfinished garage (no heat/AC) that is not completely sealed off from the outside (so bugs were able to come in under the overhead doors). We had a nice stay overall; however, because the listing was misleading ("internet", "fireplace", "every surface disinfected", etc.), the home was not perfectly suited to our needs and we spent far too much of our time driving around the area in search of internet access.

Boaters Delight!
This property was amazing and perfect for our multiple family vacation. The location is perfect - 15 minutes to Kilmarnock, on the marina property, great water access to Ingram Bay, Great Wicomico River and the Chesapeake Bay. We brought our boat (a 23' power/cruiser - 3 foot draft) and the provided dock worked out well; no problems with access and water depth. The property is on a little off-shoot of Towles Creek that was well protected. The house was very clean and well stocked. The sleeping arrangements worked out well for our 2 families with a combination of adults, teenagers and toddlers. We actually rented the house and some of our extended family rented the 2 cottages on the marina property. The 2 cottages were super cute and close to the house. The cottage folks would come over for group meals at the house. That worked out well and still gave everyone enough personal space and alone-time. The living area and kitchen were very spacious. The kids really loved the game room. We rented the house at the end of July and it was hot, but the combination of the mini-split and dehumidifier in the game room kept it very comfortable... no complaints there. And, I can't say enough about the outdoor space. The yard and porch areas were lovely - plenty of space for the kiddos to play safely outside. Mary and Billy were great. They were easy to get a hold of and helped out with additional requests. This property is definitely saved as a favorite for future vacations.

Summer Vacation
Mary and Capt Bill were awesome! Genuine, kind and responsive. The house earns its name of Sailors Rest. We couldnt have been more comfortable. I had four kids with my wife and I come down fom Massachusetts. The house is spacious and location is second to none if you enjoy peace and tranquility. The harbour cruise was amazing. Even had surprise Dolphin guests. Marys favorite beach location is a must visit. We have never been to such a secluded beach. My daughter informed me it was a tik tok top 10 beach. Who knew. Family and I will definitely make the trek again in the future. Capt Bill has many options from fishing to getting dropped off on your own secluded island. Cant wait to add more memories. TY Mary and Capt Bill.

A great place to relax
My family spent the Labor Day Weekend in Mary's home, and we loved it. The home is beautiful and is located in a quiet neighborhood. We spent the entire stay fishing from the dock and caught a good amount of fish. We also spent a great amount of time on the deck sipping coffee in the morning and wine at night :) We will definitely try to come back soon.
