About this property

Chesapeake Bay Beachfront Retreat

Get away from it all on Henry's Island, offering alluring privacy and breathtaking views of the Chesapeake Bay. Enjoy the 5-acre Bay-front home whose private sandy beach includes unique Northern Neck sand dunes. Swim, crab, fish, or use provided canoe, kayak, or paddle board to explore the water. Relax on lounge chairs with a frosty drink (margarita machine included). Take in the Bay breeze while reading a book or sleeping on the beach. The open floor plan and 9 ft. ceilings provide a spectacular view to watch bald eagles, osprey, and heron without leaving the beautifully furnished house. Dine inside overlooking the Bay or eat outside on the patio set after using the gas grill. Three king bedrooms (including two master suites), a bunk room, and a separate playroom make it comfortable and fun for adults and kids alike.


Something for Everyone: Tour one of historic Northern Neck's 19 museums, golf, or sip Virginia's finest wines on the Chesapeake Bay Wine Trail. Sail, shop or dine in award-winning restaurants nearby. Enjoy an easy drive to historic Williamsburg, Busch Gardens, and Water Country USA.

Chesapeake Bay Beachfront Retreat

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property. It is a lovely home with beautiful views and ample space for a large group. The house was clean and well stocked with necessities. The property manager was flexible and responsive. We loved the beach and had great fun swimming, kayaking, canoeing and paddle boarding. We are big fans of the northern neck area and nearby Irvington, White Stone and Kilmarnock for their restaurants, shops and events. We highly recommend this home for a family vacation!

Disliked: Communication
My review may be totally different than another guest. The communication was poor resulting in a situation that made us look bad when the request of the family pet was overlooked once sending the dates of booking thinking after the conversation the fee was added to final payment due but on our part assuming the fee was added like other places we stay through the year and here before. This resulted in having to send a screenshot of the conversation through the Vrbo inbox to prove "family pet welcomed with a fee" with no acknowledgement of the overlook. The Air conditioner stopped working one morning and we were told we could drive to the store to get fans and close the curtains. This also happened when we stayed there yrs ago. The gentleman that came out the next day apparently was out a month prior for the same reason. The hard wired smoke alarm went off our last night from 9:30 pm to 4 am. No batteries in the house and no answer to email and text until hrs later I googled what to do to stop a hard wired alarm! This was our last night so maybe lifting the sheet brought from home for the dog caused hair after cleaning the night prior. With no sleep we were in a hurry and time was approaching. What we were accused of is why I am writing a review. I never sent a text about the dirty dishes in the cabinet, dust, sand,toys and a few cards under the sofa when we had to retrieve something. Or that there was no propane for the grill and that was dirty. Maybe a different crew.

A Wonderful Family Getaway — Already Booked for Next Year!We’ve been coming to this area for 25 years, and with our growing family, we were thrilled to find a home that could comfortably accommodate us, our daughter and son-in-law, and our granddaughter — with a second granddaughter on the way!This house was everything we hoped for and more. The beach access is perfect for young children, with calm, shallow water that feels safe and relaxing. Inside, the home is spacious, the beds are comfortable, and the living room has plenty of seating for everyone. The kitchen is well-stocked with plenty of plates and silverware, and the internet worked great throughout our stay. We also loved the outdoor seating and the extra touches like the canoe and paddle board! The home and setting are even more beautiful and welcoming in person.We were also so impressed to see that past guest suggestions (like adding bedside tables, a dresser in the bunk room, and additional outdoor seating) have already been addressed. It really shows how considerate and responsive the owners are to their renters, which made us feel even more at home.A few small suggestions that would make the stay even more enjoyable:•The outdoor shower didn’t drain, which made it difficult to use.•lamps on the bedside tables would have been nice and there were multiple light bulbs out throughout the house.Definitely not negative comments but ideas to make a great home better. Thank you for sharing your lovely

This was the second year in a row we have stayed here, and we absolutely loved it! The house was clean and smelled so fresh when we arrived, and the location is so beautiful. We really enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere, and the fishing was fantastic. Diane is a wonderful host, and we hope to stay here again in the future!

Whitestone Stay

Cant say enough about the views from this property and the feeling as though you have the bay all to yourself! Kitchen was perfect and there was plenty of room for the 8 of us (4 adults and 4 teens) to eat and cook and hang out and play games and just be together! We took the opportunity to spend a day in Kilmarnock (VERY close) with great shops and great grocery store (Tri-Star for the win) and you've GOT to try Small Town Burger for the best smashburger in the Northern Neck...and this is coming from a guy who loved NNK Burger before they burned down! While it in no way detracts from the place at all...the mosquitos and horseflies there are no joke, be prepared to go to battle with them!

Picture perfect vacation

Had a wonderful time fishing, canoeing, kayaking, paddle boarding, swimming, sitting on the porch watching the dolphins swim by. Two items I would recommend updated TVs as we could only watch the same things upstairs as the down stairs tv had on, also we had some issues with the internet.. we had some storms and buggy nights which forced us inside. Overall would definitely visit again.

Dream Property

This property is absolutely amazing. The listing and pictures do not do it justice. The home is much larger than the posting makes it seem and the private beach is absolutely perfect. The shallow and calm waters were perfect for my children who enjoyed the water from sun up until sun down. There was an issue (that really was a non issue) that the owner of the property communicated to us prior to arrival. Although it was really a non- issue, the communication was appreciated. We were so pleased with the location of this property and everything that was provided along with it that we will hopefully return next year for a longer period of time! Thank you so much for allowing us to be your guests.

About the host

Hosted by Diane Boyle

Host profile image
We love the relaxed atmosphere of being right on the Chesapeake Bay where going to beach doesn't require leaving the property.

Why they chose this property

Just a short distance from DC, this private location provides a soft sandy beach to relax. However relaxing doesn't mean boring. The historic Northern Neck of Virginia has award winning golf, hiking, biking, fishing, boating, history (birthplace of three US presidents), art, antiques, and vineyards.

What makes this property unique

The private beach and endless Bay views makes it perfect for relaxing and playing.
