Best View on the Northern Neck, Tons of Privacy and a Sandy Beach!

New to VRBO but almost 100 perfect 5 Star reviews on "that other site"!

Come down the long private drive along the pasture to the little cottage perched on the banks of the river, surrounded by large oak trees. It's a simple, cozy spot with lots of outdoor spaces for spreading out.

If you're tired of a crowded summer beach vacation, this quiet retreat is a perfect alternative! This private family home has one of the best views on the Northern Neck, and is also super close to the conveniences of the nearby Town of White Stone.

There are three bedroom each with a smart TV and blackout shades (two bathrooms, one being a Jack & Jill) off of a cozy living space with big water views. We tend to spend a lot of time on the screen porch which is flanked by two decks - one has a dining set and the other has a sitting area and a large outdoor shower.

The property has multiple spots for getting away - lounge chairs, hammocks, shady spots to read, the beach, the dock. While the house is intimate inside, there is no end to personal spaces for a nap or a book.

It is really fun to hang out on the dock - watch the sunsets, look for dolphins or bald eagles, or just go fishing.

The kitchen is well stocked, each bedroom has its own large Smart TV, and there is very fast wifi available.

This house is totally private with water all around - the private beach and private dock are all yours to enjoy - and you are welcome to use any of the 4 kayaks or 2 paddle boards during your stay.

I enjoy the dining scene in the area - its not huge, but enough decent options to make your stay more enjoyable.

Miss Mary's Seafood in White Stone is ideal for great seafood to cook at home or eat sitting on the dock.

Merroir is a restaurant across the river that has a beautiful outdoor setting, great for oysters and a bottle of wine.

Fish Hawk is fun - its a casual restaurant at the Tides Inn down by the pool and Carter's Creek ... eat outside, watch the boats. The Tides Inn also has a great restaurant with a beautiful view from the terrace.

Vine is a very cute wine bar with good small plates and a lovely patio, it’s in Irvington.

Adrift in White Stone is an excellent choice for dinner or a drink at the bar with some appetizers. One of my go-to spots.

The Local in Irvington is good for bagel sandwiches and morning coffee.

The River Market in White Stone is ideal for a take out lunch order - their sandwiches are really tasty.

The Old Farm Truck Market in White Stone is good for fresh veggies, cheeses, bread, etc.

There is a Walmart in Kilmarnock which would have about everything you need (10 min drive) but there is an old timey grocery store in Kilmarnock that I prefer, called TriStar Supermarket.

Hughlett Point is a park fronting the Chesapeake Bay north of Kilmarnock - its a beautiful place to go hiking, the beaches are stunning.

In July and August it’s very common to have jellyfish (stinging nettles) in the river. You want to keep an eye open for them when swimming and playing in the water during by these months.

I generally do not book guests with pets. This does not mean that pets are never on the property. Please take that into consideration if you have allergies.

Trash is generally picked up on Wednesdays. The yard and pasture are cut as-needed, so you may see a gentleman on a lawnmower during your stay.
