Summary: Very interesting home with a lot of family history. Piano. Guitar. Amazing dining room table. Wonderful upstairs suite with other bedrooms two floors away so lots of privacy. Kitchen looked well stocked although we ate all our meals at a relative’s home. I didn’t cook at all. Beach is lovely!

Summary: The house is lovely and the view of the river is gorgeous - especially the sunsets. There are huge windows looking out into the the trees and the river. There was plenty of space for all 8 of us. The kitchen has everything you would need - even popover pans! The owners were wonderful: when the kitchen faucet broke, they fixed it immediately.The private beach is lovely too - although we couldn't really use it that much given it was December. It would be great to come back in the summer.

Summary: The property is very secluded, You feel like the world is behind you. It is peaceful and quiet, The sound of nature will be the only symphony you’ll hear. I love the private beach area. We fished and caught some crab on the boat deck. The house is a bit old but that is where the charm is. There was some bug in the house but that was expected. Overall we had great time.

Summary: The location is five Star! The house space is ample. There are numerous items (inside and outside) that need maintenance. I have never rented a home through Vrbo where I needed to take the trash with me. The homeowner was very responsive and willing to work with us. We did enjoy time as a family in the fresh air, on the water, and relaxing.

Summary: The house has plenty of room to spread out. My husband and I took the loft queen bedroom. My son, daughter, son in law, and grandson took the basement level. The rustic feel of the house is awesome and the owners left relics from their parents that add a personal touch to the house. Not just a rental!! And the BEACH!! OMG the beach is one of a kind, so much room to yourselves. few things to note… 1. If you sleep in the loft be prepared to wake at 6:30ish every morning. There is a huge skylight right above the bed. 2. The stairs!! Lord help there is a million stair to get to the beach area. And take caution at night as there is no lighting on them. There is a ravine you can walk down to get to the beach, buts it’s better for a side by side, atv, etc. The bathhouse did not work while we were there but they replaced it with a water hose just outside the house to rinse off the sand. 3. You can’t see the beach from the house. The undergrowth is very thick and blocks the view. It is also spreading over onto the steps down to the beach. 4. Take your own pop up tent. The little beach umbrella there just isn’t enough. The kayaks and floating chairs were good. However the storage of these items isn’t (stored in wood area at beach). You will need to clean everything before you use it. Most of the floats available have been destroyed by other renters and just left lying around. 5. There is only 1 tv. But plenty of games. Overall the house is amazing, would return for another visit

Summary: Wonderful stay. Perfect location. Can’t wait to go back. It’s that simple.

Summary: Cannot beat this location. The private beach was just incredible. We came with two dogs who enjoyed going for a swim each morning. The kids loved hanging out on the beach all day. The hosts were responsive and thoughtful. When we arrived the first night the lights were on and music was gently playing. Thoughtful touches that were very much appreciated. We could not have hoped for a better experience.

Summary: House a little dated, but primo location!
Brittney H. Oct 11, 2022 03:31:13 AM
Summary: We came with in-laws and our baby to celebrate her first birthday. The location is great - accessible to some cute restaurants and shops, across the bridge from Rappahannock Oyster's docks, and the house's own private beach is great. The house felt cozy and we enjoyed cooking, walking the pup along the fields, spending our mornings on the dock enjoying coffee and local pastries, and laying on the beach. Becky is very warm and personable and greeted us on arrival as she was wrapping up from a group before us. Overall it was a pleasant and relaxing stay - a few blips but we enjoyed our time. It's clear how much love she has for her family's home, but also how new the owners still are to short-term renting. My career is guest experience for a major brand of hotels and short-term rentals, so these are key industry standards to point out as opportunities to improve: - There's a lot of supplies to cook with, which was great but a lot is quite aged and some items are dull and/or rusted, which can be a real safety/sanitary issue. This listing would do well if replaced even with simple IKEA starter sets for pots/pans and cooking utensils. - Switch to soap pumps. Used bar soap throughout isn't sanitary to present to new guests. - Communication is critical and this was spotty and not ideal. I was nervous the whole drive down after reaching out for 2 days trying to get the check-in code with no answer (messaged online as well as left voicemail). A very sincere apology given, but not a great way to kick off a trip with such stress! Also people came on-property unannounced - 2 unknowns parked in the driveway and walked down the deck steps to use the kayaks while we were swimming. This was a very secluded private property and a private beach that we booked - so that's like walking into someone's hotel room. They said "hello" and nothing more. It was quite disorienting and uncomfortable. They walked right by what was my window - what if I was in there and naked? I got a call 10pm the night prior while asleep - perhaps to give us a heads up - but no voicemail left nor return to the voicemail I left the next morning as a callback. We were offered a late check-out, which we appreciated, but it was texted 15 minutes before the deadline - we were basically in the car by then. - A serious amount of dead centipedes on the downstairs living room floor on arrival. It's a wooded area and mid-summer, I know, but not sure why they weren't cleaned between stays.

Summary: Great gathering spaces on 2 floors, large windows that look into tree tops and river, fun small beach for games!
