We were booked to go to OBX, but the snowstorm changed that...so plan B! Plan B was a fantastic choice...great place to chill out, drink wine, dance and relax by the bonfire! Hosts were very quick to respond to emails, the beds were comfy and the kitchen stocked! I'd love to come back (I live in Oregon) and bring my grandsons here this Summer!
Walkable to Main Street restaurants, ice cream and shops. Quiet neighborhood. Comfortable house. Enjoyed our stay completely. Will be back. Thank you for hosting.
This vacation house was perfect for our family. We loved the location. We enjoyed kayaking every day and fishing. It was nice sitting down by the water around the fire pit, after a long day. The game room was an added bonus. We can’t wait to come back again sometime.
My husband and infant twins enjoyed a relaxing stay in Reedville- the house is clean and welcoming and had everything we needed. The view is great and we enjoyed the kayaks. We enjoyed local seafood for dinner and a drive to kilmarnock. Hope to come back soon!
The location is great and the house was as described and pictured. Everyone enjoyed the game room, fire pit and kayaking. Hosts were super quick to respond with any questions. We would definitely stay again!
Only thing was the kids couldn’t swim. We went to a beach and water was overtaken by jelly fish. Of course this is not an issue with the house. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay
Great experience - kayaks, game room, fire pit, etc. all as advertised - walking distance to Reedville Main St. Gracious hosts providing all toys needed to fish, paddle, play and have a great time!
The house was great, especially for kids. Lots of toys and the bunk beds were a hit. We enjoyed the water despite the rain. It was walking distance to town with a few restaurants and an ice cream shop.
We stayed at this waterfront property for Thanksgiving. The house was clean, cozy, and welcoming, and we enjoyed a peaceful retreat away from the city. Karaoke was a hit with our kids ages 13-25! The owners are responsive and helpful, and we appreciated their dog friendly accommodation. Highly recommended, and we will return!
Beautiful house bringing nostalgia with modern amenities; love the books, game room, showers, large kitchen, luxurious beds, colors and patterns in the interior. Gorgeous hydrangeas and magnolias and birds abundant. Dock was perfect, hopped in kayak and paddled several times a day. Easy! Fished and crabbed, even took Tangier Island cruise for boating bike riding and lunch. Really had everything! Hard to leave!
This was a great home for our family of 6. Plenty of room and beds. My kids loved the kayaks and we all enjoyed the game room and fire pit. We would definitely rent from them again! Thank you for everything! Great communication with the hosts as well!
Loved this spacious house! Very clean and beautiful views!! Rained almost the entire time we were there but we managed to make the best of it! Game room was great for the kids and the yard was perfect for the dogs! A little buggy since it was so wet outside, but beautiful! We hope to visit again!!
My party of five went to Reedville to take the tangier Island day trip, and we LOVED this blue crab hideaway! For an older building it was superbly kept up, immaculately decorated and had EVERYTHING you could possibly want for a stay.
The hosts are so generous to provide not only all kitchen/cooking essentials, but multiple kayaks/canoes and paddleboat for use, lifejackets, fishing poles, and (though we brought our own) even shower supplies and laundry soap, etc which I feel is above and beyond.
I will say not a lot of restaurant and entertainment options in the area (open during the week) but a full kitchen and expansive game room sure goes a way to make up for it. 10/10 would stay there again ir recommend if going to Reedville.
The home was exactly as described. Just pack a bag and everything else is there. Fully equipped property in a quiet location. The only thing I will add is the master bed was smaller than desired, otherwise everything was perfect! We would love to return at another time when the temps are warmer.
What an excellent experience we had while staying in this lovely cottage. Such a peaceful place with the most beautiful views of the river. We enjoyed the paddle boat and kayaks, fishing & crabbing off the dock, and sitting in the backyard reading a good book. The house is great and has everything you will need. We absolutely can not wait to return to this piece of paradise.
Our family had a wonderful weekend at your lovely home! The house was very spacious and comfortable and we loved the vintage vibe. The game room was incredible! The huge yard is great for playing outside and on the water. We thoroughly enjoyed the kayaks and pedal boat. Easy check in and great communication with the host. We will definitely be back! Thank you for a great stay!

You can see water from every room of the house! Enjoy the secluded atmosphere & many amenities such as kayaking, paddle boating, fishing/crabbing for blue crabs from our private dock.

What makes this property unique
We've been visiting the Northern Neck for years, so it's only fitting that we own a home there. There's nothing quite like getting out on a kayak, fishing, crabbing, or swimming from the private pier. If you'd like to bring your boat, we can give you directions to the closest boat ramp (which is very nice, pretty new, and close by).
