We loved, loved, loved everything about our stay at “Ships Watch on the Bay”—the pier, the wrap-around screened porch, the gourmet kitchen, and the BEAUTIFUL VIEWS of the Chesapeake Bay. The three bedrooms are very nice, too. Sunrises are worth getting up early; just go out in your pajamas and watch from the pier! The cottage could not have been more charming. We are still talking about it four months after our stay. We went in late August, but I feel certain we would love being there any month of the year!
I had personalized mugs made for everyone to use at the cottage and to keep as a memento of our stay.

Wonderful stay at Ships Watch on the Bay! Absolutely darling cottage with spectacular views, a fantastic screened porch, stylish and comfortable furnishings and bedding, and a fully equipped and modern kitchen. Lisa was so helpful and provided so many extras- like water, snacks, coffee, creamers, shampoo , lotion, etc .-which were very much appreciated. The neighbors are also so friendly with tips for fishing and crabbing. We loved our stay and look forward to returning!

The home is wonderful! View of the Chesapeake Bay is picture perfect. The location provides convenient access to many great points of interest along Virginia’s Middle Peninsula and Northern Neck. The pier and outdoor amenities truly added to our experience. The home itself is lovely. Warm, cozy and the kitchen alone is very well appointed. Our family of two adults and four teens slept very comfortably. Our host, Lisa, was warm, gracious and very communicative. We are definitely looking to return to this home again.

About the host

Hosted by Lisa Englehart

Host profile image
Lisa Englehart is a Richmond native who has resided in Deltaville for the past 16 years. She loves her community. Lisa is a seasoned real estate entrepreneur. She and her team manage the Teenie house, the Teenie Weenie, and Ships Watch on the Bay, which are all short term vacation rentals in Deltaville. Lisa strives to make sure her guests are pampered with a 5 Star Stay!

Why they chose this property

Location....Location....Location! It's a rare opportunity to be able to stay on the very tip of Stingray Point in Deltaville! In 1608, Captain John Smith was stung by a cownose stingray while fishing with his men at the mouth of the Rappahannock River. He was seriously injured by the sting and even gave orders to his men as to the disposal of his body should he perish. He recovered and named the point Stingray Point.

The Stingray Point Lighthouse was built in 1858 at the entrance to the Rappahannock River. It was deactivated in 1965 and dismantled shortly thereafter. The pilings are still in place and are now a buoy. The Stingray Point Lighthouse can be seen from Ships Watch. A replica of the lighthouse was built at the Safe Harbor Marina in Deltaville 1.6 miles west of the original site.

We love dogs! We allow up to 2 dogs 50 pounds and under with a small non refundable pet fee. The pets cannot be left unattended in the home unless they are in a crate. They must be house broke and not chew. If you have any questions send Lisa a message.

What makes this property unique

The "View." The Chesapeake Bay can be seen from 17 of the 19 windows at Ships Watch!
