Beachfront house on Potomac-Chesapeake Bay
Enjoy beautiful Chesapeake vistas and a fine white sand beach at this spacious, family-friendly beach house. Four fully-furnished bedrooms now sleep up to eight maximum. Private in-ground fiberglass pool (installed 2019). Excellent fishing, kayaking/rafting/canoeing (bring your own!), swimming, beachcombing, crabbing, barbecue/picnicking, and hiking. Dolphins, osprey, bald eagles, pelicans, and hummingbirds live in the area. Within an 8-15 minute drive, you'll find restaurants, shopping, vineyards, antique shops, charter fishing boats, museums, a free ferry to Sunnybank, and ferries for day trips to nearby Chesapeake Bay islands. Just two hours from Richmond and three hours from Washington. Available for weekend or weekly rental.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Valnora Leister and Mark Frazier
We live now in Virginia's Shenandoah Valley and have owned the beach house for more than 30 years. Our family has wonderful memories of summer vacations filled with beach-combing, swimming, bicycling, and fishing. We hope you'll enjoy a vacation there too!
Why they chose this property
The quality of the beach and the tranquil setting were what first drew us to Ophelia. The area has a wealth of history and opportunities for day trips on charter boats, ferries to nearby islands, and outings to memorable restaurants, museums and shops in Reedville, Kilmarnock, and Heathsville. Over the years, we've been able to add an upstairs deck, rooms, and amenities to the beach house. It is a place for fun and rest – and hard to leave!
What makes this property unique
Some of our favorite activities are relaxing on the upstairs deck and watching the osprey, bald eagles, pelicans, and dolphins go by. Views of sunrises over the Bay and sunsets on the Potomac are gorgeous. The salt water pool is easy on the eyes and a great way to cool off after hikes or long walks on the beach. An outdoor barbecue as picnic table sits between house and pool. Inside, we have comfortable and well air-conditioned spaces for meals and gatherings of friends and family.
