We had an excellent quick getaway to this lovely place. The views here are incredibly and we loved playing on the little beach area. We loved the decorations of the house. It's very close to lots of areas of interest. Communication with the host was great as was the check-in process. Thank you for an excellent stay!
4.8
There's no place like home but this cabin was close. It was clean, appropriately stocked, comfortable and great views. The shower is very nice and I was happy to find a grab bar in the shower. The host met us to give us the key and I loved that because I am not overly computerized and this was so nice and personal. It is right on the York River, quite and we saw dolphins and a bald eagle. Was there 5 nights and did not have any issues. We are looking forward to staying again next year.

Geat stay at the cabin. Very convenient to all. Only wish they had a washer/dryer. But there is a coin laundry up the
main highway...UDOIT Laundry across from Sal's Pizza.

We loved our stay. We didn’t want to leave. The home was so cozy, and comfortable. The a/c kept us nice and cool, and the master king bed was so comfortable. We had a lot of rain, so the covered porch was absolutely wonderful in keeping us dry. The porch fans were lovely. I cooked most of our meals, and the kitchen had everything I needed. Thank you so much, Ms. Sheila and Mr. Larry. God bless you and all who stay here.

My husband and I and our 2 dogs had a wonderful weekend staying here. The property was beautiful and so relaxing, the location was great. The host was easy to get in contact with and was prompt responding to my questions. We will definitely be back!

Owner was extremely helpful, the property was beautiful. If you going to Virginia Beach area, this is a very wonderful place to be in. View is exceptional, watching the Rays feed this morning on the baitfish. Also very private..

Beautiful property with amazing view. Loved our stay!

Its my 4th time staying at the cozy cabin. Got 3 beautiful sunsets after rain on other trips. We usually see dolphin daily but too early in season, I guess. Blue Heron always is fascinating to watch. I think I've got bird correct. Had lots of great food from Egg Heads to the BCBC, in Hampton. Try Chipper for awesome fish & chips. Hosts are always great. I cant wait to go back again. We hope the Colonial Parkway will be reopened by then. Detours from April 2024 through Spring 2026. I love its scenic route, part of my drive, going & coming. Ill be back!

Beautiful views, centrally located. It was perfect for what we were looking for. And you cannot beat the views. Sheila greeted us and communicated with us quickly. Great experience!

We spent four wonderful nights in this VRBO. We had such a lovely and peaceful stay. We loved sitting on the screened porch and watching the river go by. The location was close to everything. We enjoyed going to both Williamsburg and Yorktown. And the little fenced in area was great for the dogs to go potty at night.

Great place to stay in the Yorktown area!

The owner was at the property and showed us how everything worked, which was very helpful. The cheerful slash of green to celebrate the Ireland was a fun touch.

We stayed here for an extended birthday weekend for my husband. It was so wonderful. The weather was a bit blah so I was worried we wouldn’t get that sunset but the clouds blew away in just enough time for our final night. The home was comfortable and so much better than a hotel we loved being able to relax. The owners had a lot of menus and we Larry personally met us at check in to give us the key. He had some great suggestions for eateries which were 👍 The owners were pleasant with communication and we didn’t have any problems but I felt that had we had an issue I wouldn’t be afraid to contact them. Selfishly I don’t want to tell too many people of our new favorite spot so that we can rebook. Lol

We searched for a 1 bedroom house, on the water, an hour drive from our house for a quick get away and this was exactly what we needed! The house is cozy and the view is spectacular! Our host was very attentive when we texted an issue. It really was a perfect weekend!!!

I enjoyed my stay so much. It was exactly as advertised and the owners were great. The views and sunsets were amazing. Even though a storm came thru one of the days I was there I still found it peaceful. A great get away at a cute little waterfront home!!!
4.8
My family and I enjoyed this property so much we will definitely be returning in warmer weather to take full advantage of the beautiful outdoor surroundings. We loved the Christmas and winter decorations that made it feel like a home away from home. It was the perfect cozy cabin get away for our family adventures in Colonial Williamsburg and Busch Gardens.

Cute cabin style cottage! Screened in porch and 2 level deck to sit a take in the tranquil view! Comfy King bed and the kiddo loved the fold out cot! Ample hot water, I am fan of that! Great breakfast diners nearby and yummy Italian for dinner take out! Soft and comfy couch and lots comfy chairs. I would definitely stay here the next time I'm in the area!
There are stairs up to the house so keep that in mind if that's an issue for you

We most definitely recommend this property if your looking for cozy and comfortable along with the most amazing view of the York river this place is for you. We hope to come back and stay again in the future.
4.8
We absolutely loved this charming cottage and can’t wait to return! It was perfect in so many ways. We really enjoyed the screened in porch with spectacular views and beautiful sunsets. The location is ideal and close to Yorktown and Williamsburg. A great option too for those that travel, like us, with their furbabies. The host Sheila was a pleasure. We look forward to visiting again!
4.8
The view was perfect-very relaxing. A few things need to be updated and decluttered inside. But overall it was wonderful! great location, owner was very responsive and accomodating!
4.8
We loved our stay in this adorable cottage. The house is bigger than it appears and was perfect for the two of us. The outdoor space was so relaxing and even though it was rainy the first day, we enjoyed watching the water and pelicans. Close to Williamsburg but far enough away to be away from the traffic. We just wish we had stayed longer.

The location was great . Superficially the cottage was fine .However

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at the cabin. Sheila is a wonderful host and met us when we arrived. This is a perfect place to come relax ,enjoy the quiet, and the awesome sunsets with a beverage on the deck. The cabin comes equipped with everything you could need, including beach chairs we used when we visited Virginia Beach. Close to all the historical places, great restaurants ,and not too far a drive from Norfolk and Virginia Beach. We highly recommend the river tour out of Yorktown beach, one of the highlights of our week. We would definitely book again.
Steve and Denise.

Very nice property. We had a quiet and relaxing time
4.8
Only regret is that I couldn't stay longer!
This is a lovely cabin with a great history. I really enjoyed meeting the owners.
I love cabins with stone fireplaces and this one is great. Everything about the cabin has so much character. The deck, screened in porch, fenced run for dogs were all, especially, nice.
The VIEW and sunsets were so breathtaking and serene.
To top this off, I got to spend time with family and make great memories.
Thanks so much for all the provisions and all the added extras that you provide to make your guests comfortable.
4.8
We always love coming to the cabin.. you can’t beat the views ! The owners are super nice and very responsive.. we will be back !

We enjoyed our stay at this Cozy Cabin by the river. It was just the right size for my husband and I. Sheila, the property owner couldn't be more responsive, accommodating, and friendly. The furnishings inside the cabin are clean and comfortable. Outside, the view of the river is top notch and the property owners have made it easy to sit outside and enjoy the view and the wildlife. We loved beginning our day with breakfast outside and ending it with a cool beverage, a friendly game of cards, and taking in the spectacular sunset on the perfectly situated deck. The property is located in a quiet, tranquil environment and is the perfect spot if you want a break from the usual hustle and bustle of modern day living. We won't hesitate to book this property again the next time we plan to visit the area. Thank you Sheila!

The Cozy Cabin was exactly as described yet it still exceeded anything I could have hoped for. The atmosphere in the cabin as well as the tranquility outside with the amazing view and beautiful sunsets left us in awe. My senior dog also had more pep in her step while there and it was evident she had peace as well as fun. It was an honor and privilege to meet Sheila and Larry who are two of the nicest and friendliest people I've met. It felt like coming home instead of being a stranger.
Anyone thinking of staying at the Cozy Cabin, my advice is do it!! My only regret is I didn't book a longer stay. Definitely looking forward to returning!
