About this property

Waterfront River House at Sandy Point

The River House at Sandy Point, VA, in the heart of Virginia’s historic Northern Neck, is approximately 2 hours from Washington, DC and 1.5 hours from Richmond, VA. It rests on the banks of the Shannon Branch of the Yeocomico River, near Kinsale on a private waterfront point. It was initially built in 1932 as a fishing cottage and was fully renovated in 2008.

The River House is now a 2000 square foot single-story house with an open floor plan that includes beautiful panoramic views of the water. Open layout is also wheel chair friendly and has a 12 x 24 waterfront deck with handicap ramp.

The house easily sleeps 10 with 4 bedrooms (2 bedrooms on each wing) and a sleeper sofa, 2 full bathrooms, central air and heat, cable TV, a fully equipped kitchen, a river-side "glassed in" porch with a gorgeous waterfront view, washer-dryer, and a large waterside family room.

Bring your boat and jet skis. There is a pier with 2 boat slips (3.5 – 4 ft MLW) at the property for your use and enjoyment. There is also great fishing and crabbing from the pier. Sandy Point Marina with boat launching facilities and gasoline is located within one mile of the property. Fish the Yeocomico and Potomac Rivers & Chesapeake Bay!

In addition to Summer water and outdoor activities, don’t miss Spring and Fall rockfish seasons!

Filthy carpets
The waterfront views are beautiful but the dishwasher didnt work ,the house smells of mildew at check in .Needed alot of air freshner ,and it didnt appear to be cleaned very well .the floors were all dirty and i looked under the bed for something i dropped and under the beds had dirt and trash from previous renters .we had a nice time but wouldnt recommend the property esp.if you have the cleanng disorder ocd like myself . For what i payed for two weeks i expected atleast a clean home to stay in .So therfore i was disappointed .And would recommend the NASTY CARPET IN THE LIVING ROOM BE CLEANED OR TORE OUT AND REPLACED .IT IS DISGUSTING DIRTY.Hopefully renovations can and will be done with the 3,000 +that i payed the owners .

Great house by the river
Our family had a great time in this place. The house is very comfortable and has plenty of space.m for everyone. The backyard is beautiful and very relaxing. Even our dog had a great time! Unfortunately, our boys were not able to swim in the river because there were so many jellyfish. That was very unlucky. We’ll definitely come back! thanks Jeff and Belinda for all your help and quick reply to our questions.

Fishing trip
Stayed here with a group of guys from my church for a fishing trip. The house is clean and spacious. Also in a very quiet neighborhood, it was nice to be right on the water to fish and catch crabs. Would definitely stay again if I had the chance.

Perfect, dog friendly river retreat
We absolutely loved the river cottage! Mom, dad, me, my sister and our two pups had a wonderful time. It has a rustic feel yet the bathrooms had nice updates. The open kitchen and living room were perfect for cooking together and catching up. The sun room and picnic table on the back deck were our favorite places to dine. Birding, kayaking, watching the pups play in the fenced in yard, and napping were our favorite activities. It is peaceful and secluded. Next time we will bring the hubbies along. There is plenty of space for 3 adult couples and a kids bedroom for 3. For the four of us we each had our own room.

Great riverside secluded get away location
We were in town for a local wedding and this property meet all our needs with added benefits. Great morning view over the river with a nice dock for the grandkids to fish off of. Owners communication and check in / check out procedure was great. The booklet supplied in the home by the owners with information and locations of stuff in the area was a great help/resource. If we would have had the free time we would have brought our boat.

We loved it! The house felt like home and it was so relaxing. We backed into the pump house (driving our 15 passenger van that we use for Worship on Wheels) and the owners were very gracious about it. Would love to stay there again if they'll have us..lol Stay, you'll love it.

Great Stay
Property is as advertised. Not as much seating as we would have liked for our crowd. The dining room table is awkwardly placed in the sunroom and it was a little to chilly to eat out there as it's not a heated space. Would stay again.
