I wanted a quiet getaway with my family (my husband, 5 and 8 year old girls, and a 2.5 year old boy) and was interested in exploring some of the lesser-known parts of Virginia's coast. This cottage in the charming Vineyard Grove neighborhood of Irvington fit the bill perfectly. The porch, spacious garden and yard, and quiet neighborhood streets all make this property a good fit for families. The house was surprisingly spacious and the gorgeous doors and windows let in so much light. Three full bedrooms (and bathrooms) allowed us to spread out. The hot tub and wonderful area out back with comfortable furnishings and twinkle lights was a huge draw. We scootered and walked to the beautiful, tree-lined neighborhood pool daily (which we kept having to outselves) and also enjoyed walking the trail that connects the neighborhood, river access/dock, and pool. Some nice dining and shopping less than a mile away in Irvington, more shopping/dining as well as a town park in Kilmarnock, The Tides Inn nearby, and the impressive and Compass center kept us entertained. The beauty of this well-appointed and architecturally interesting cottage is only outmatched by all of Maria's thoughtful touches throughout-- the furniture is nice quality, the decor is both warm and modern. From cell phone charging jacks to night lights and sound machines, not a detail was missed. Not to mention communication with the host was always fast (often within a minute or two and at most an hour) which is really helpful. We felt at home right away and added an extra night to our stay!

The property was beautiful. Anything you could need for cooking, etc., she had. The host was very responsive to any questions. It was really fun to have the use of the bicycles. There was a lot of wildlife around which was really cool to see. The hot tub was huge and amazing! Would definitely stay here again. It’s very peaceful and relaxing

Loved our stay! Home is beautifully appointed, immaculate, yet cozy and comfortable. The host is very gracious and communication was easy and timely. Would highly recommend!

Great stay at the Harmony Tides. House in great condition and lots of fun escapes. Enjoyed house but fun sites close by

We all - 6 adults - loved the house. We were a little disappointed that there was no access or view of the creek in the back. The weather was disappointing but the house is big enough so we all had space and privacy when required. We did little cooking but the kitchen was well appointed easy to work in. The neighborhood was quiet and secluded. All in all we had a great time and would certainly recommend this property to others.

We love the area and have always been intrigued by the Tents! Glad we stayed and had a nice break! Only observation was the outdoor trash can was full when we arrived. Other than that, perfect!!! Thanks!

A wonderful quick trip to the Northern Neck! Property was conveniently located next to local restaurants and shops. Hot tub was a much needed amenity. Beautiful views and overall beautiful and clean house!

We enjoyed our stay in Irvington thanks to the comfortable house in the woods. The owner provided thoughtful and generous amenities as well as a wonderful home away from home.

Three college friends had a wonderful stay at this delightful little house in the woods. The home has everything you need and Cathy is very responsive and helpful.

Great place for a weekend get away!

The cabin was so warm and inviting! Well stocked with everything we needed. Very clean. Furniture was comfortable and cozy. We enjoyed all of the amenities. We would love to come back and enjoy the winery and surrounding attractions!

I had a wonderful weekend getaway at Catherine’s property. It was perfect - quiet, clean, and serene. Also Catherine was a wonderful host - She was great to communicate with!
