Loved this property!
We wanted somewhere where we could have a private beach to swim with our dog, and enjoy the wonderful view of the bay. This fit the bill perfectly! The water was warm, and the waves were minimal, making it a wonderful afternoon of swimming enjoyment. The house is spacious and has everything you could want or need. Just sitting in the sunroom in the morning with your coffed is worth the price alone! Highly recommended!!

Wonderful property with great beach, fishing, dolphin watching, etc.
This place was perfect for a beach vacation with our family having two youngsters. The porch is great for dolphin spotting. This is a 100% marine environment. Got into a dolphin pod numbering about two dozen on my paddleboard. Our four-year-old granddaughter spent most of her time on the beach and in the water, fearless in her wet suite and water wings. For late July we got lucky on the temps and some fresh rains seemed to keep most of the sea nettles at bay. Fishing right off the beach on an incoming tide brought in plenty of easy catches of croaker (two to a line) for the four-year-old. For the bigger fish, I had to fish the edge of the channel. A 26" red drum was almost too much for me to handle on 10lb test, but smaller ones in the 20" were also available. With the big ones, just be patient and tire them out, even if it takes twenty minutes. If you're on a kayak, you will be dragged around a bit. One review said there was no deep water. Hah! I was up to my shoulders between the 2nd and 3rd sandbars on a low tide. Large menhaden/bunker ships pass through the nearby channel towards your right (Antipoison Creek). But yeah, straight out front of the house for fifty yards it's pretty shallow (2' - 4') and safe for kids with flotation devices. The crabs were plentiful. It didn't take long to fill up our pots with nearly two dozen and steam them with a little bit of Old Bay. This is great place if you want to enjoy all the Bay has to offer.

This is a well-kept older home in a very quiet and friendly neighborhood with a wonderfully large sunroom built on the back facing out onto a small private white sand beach, the bay, and the glorious sunrises.

The Perfect Secluded Getaway!
This property is the perfect spot for a relaxing trip away from the city. We enjoyed the direct beach access (very convenient for our pups) and beautiful sunroom to lounge in during morning coffee. The whole area is a hidden treasure. We will definitely be back!

Great place for family with kids
We loved this cute little property on the bay front beach. The little beach is calm and shallow here, and absolutely wonderful for the smaller kids. So close and convenient to the house. Perfect for a very relaxing get away for real quality time with the family. The kids had a great time playing on the sand and in the water. We found crabs, horseshoe crabs, jelly fish, little fishies, shells, stones, sea glass and more. Kayaking on the water with the kids was a great experience too. We also enjoyed some of the board games together at nights. Only real negative was the internet connection was very very slow for us and I had no cell service at all on my TMobile phones. Other than that this place is a little piece of heaven on earth for lazy beach days!!

Birthday’s to remember
Had a wonderful time celebrating my moms birthday and her significant other’s birthday as well. Weather was absolutely gorgeous the entire time. Water was so clear. Relaxed every day. Enjoyed watching an evening thunderstorm from the sun room and listening to the rain…house is charming with everything you need. The property manager, Vickie, is a delight to work with and very responsive with emails in booking and even helping us find a restaurant for a birthday dinner. Already looking at more dates for our next trip. This is my happy place.

Comfortable & cozy
I think the people who complain about this place are the same people who send soup back at a restaurant because it is “too hot.” This is a comfortable home steps from the beach with spectacular views. The owners have clearly been very thoughtful in providing extra amenities to make guests’ stays as convenient as possible. We all appreciated that essentials like hand soap, dishwasher detergent, laundry detergent, garbage bags, etc were provided since they aren’t always. There were toys for the kids & even for our dog- bowls & towels. Thank you for a wonderful stay. We all agree that we would stay here again in a heartbeat!

A week on the Bay
Everything was neat and clean. Beautiful sunrises and moons at night. The neighborhood was very quiet and the view of the Bay was incredible. We especially enjoyed revisiting nearby towns such as Kilmarnock, Irvington, Mathews and Urbanna. It was like coming home.

Great time for the kids
The house was very nice. We appreciated small things like, good pillows, comfortable furniture, toiletries/soaps, linens, tons of sand toys and the kayaks. The beach area was beautiful, the sand soft and it was very private, we hardly saw anyone for the whole trip. Our only disappointment was the water was very shallow. It was barely up to my waist farther than you would want to swim because of boats passing. This is a definite plus for those with small children, but as an adult it wasn't the best swimming. So I'm sorry to say that while we had a fantastic time, for the money I spent, I wish my husband and I would have been able to swim more.

You get what you pay for
Many of the walls appear to be molding, or have water spots. Neighbor has a very aggressive dog. It was hard to be outside and enjoy the view with a barking animal outside all of the time. Another unleashed dog jumped on my toddler knocking him over in the water, scratching him. When we first checked in there was a broken back window that my kids found. Couches had lots of crumbs in the seats upon check in. It was nice to have all the toys and kayaks for use but I think the house needs to be better well cared for and possibly a fence put up so guest don’t feel intimidated by the neighbors animals. I hope you like raggedy Anne because there’s a whole room dedicated to her and it’s quiet unsettling to be sleeping next to.

The beach and water was perfect!
You have to keep in mind that this is an older house and could use some TLC. The kitchen could be better equipped, some people would take offence to only having aluminum pots and pans and only a couple large coffee mugs, we made do. Overall our family had a very peaceful week. The property manager responded very quickly to the things that we had to bring attention to.

Private beach with a beautiful home
This is our second time staying at this amazing property. The home is clean and spacious with all of the amenities needed. The beach is steps away from the large sunroom and is almost private! The whole time we were there we only saw 4 people on the beach! The water was waist deep and felt like bath water which was perfect for the kids. There are plenty of restaurants and shops within 15 minutes of the house. I highly recommend this property!
