About this house rental

Welcome to your wonderful waterfront retreat at the Getaway River House and escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life as you arrive at this hidden gem on the York River! Nestled just a stone's throw away from the historic charm of Williamsburg and Yorktown, this serene sanctuary offers the perfect blend of convenience and tranquility. With accommodations for 10, the Getaway is an ideal location for cozy to large families or multi-family vacations.
Step onto your private white sand beach, where you can enjoy swimming, fishing, crabbing, birdwatching, and kayaking or paddleboarding. The warm sand beckons you to unwind and soak up the sun's warm embrace while relaxing with a good book. Immerse yourself in river life and take advantage of the crabbing, fishing, canoeing, and kayaking right at your doorstep. Guests will find beach chairs, a canoe, life jackets, and miscellaneous beach equipment like noodles, rafts, etc. for their use during their stay at the Getaway.
For a day of adventure explore the surrounding area with a trip to historic Yorktown just over the bridge (4 miles), cruise the scenic Colonial Parkway to Colonial Williamsburg and Jamestown (18.2 miles), spend the day at Busch Gardens (17 miles) or get in a round or 2 of golf at one of the many gorgeous courses the area has to offer!
Whip up delicious meals in the beautiful recently renovated full kitchen, equipped with all the essentials including double ovens, refrigerator, ice maker, dishwasher, and microwave. Plenty of cookware and kitchen gadgets including a drip coffee maker and a Keurig, a blender, a griddle, and lots of little extra kitchen gadgets. Enjoy your culinary creations in the dining area, step out onto the sun porch, or enjoy the outdoor table and glider all offering picturesque views of the river for an alfresco dining experience you won’t soon forget. If you’re looking to grill out a charcoal grill is available too. We include some basic staples to get you started including some paper products, some dish soap, and of course fresh linens for the beds and bath towels.
Traditionally available for weekly rentals, we also offer flexible arrangements for weekend getaways or split-week stays, perfect for accommodating your family or friends visiting from out of town. Why settle for the ordinary when you can experience the extraordinary at the Getaway River House with Private Beach?

The Getaway is a large free-standing home on about an acre lot. We have a couple of caretakers who live nearby to take care of the grass and provide assistance should any emergency pop up that needs immediate attention. Book your escape today and make memories to last a lifetime.

We enjoyed our stay. It was relaxed and enjoyable ! The only comments I would like to make for fix, not so much negative ! Water pressure in the showers was low, the back porch door closure jammed and we removed it, laid it on porch table to secure the door. Private beach alot of seaweed, kids not able to play in sand or water

Truly amazing stay! The house is terrific and a great place to be out of the way of the bustle, while still remaining close enough to nearby activities. Like i said, we were blown away by how much better the property is than the listing gives it justice! It was a bit confusing to find the first time, as the number isnt displayed on the road. But if you have sharp eyes, you'll find it. If you want to swim, pay attention to what the tides are doing. But the water was amazing. Only true complaint: many of the windows were hard to operate, or almost completely inoperable. But this had an extremely limited impact on our enjoyment of our time there. Check in and check out also super easy. Would stay again!

The house is very big and accommodating. The yard and beach access was a major plus. There was a cockroach inside which was slightly off putting but not a huge deal. We requested sheets which they kindly provided. Communication was great and check in/out was seamless.

There’s a lot about the property that isn’t described well in the post such as you’re next to another home where people rent long term-not only sharing a driveway. The house is very “80s” and has some updates such as the kitchen floor but also has very old carpet along with mouse traps that still had the dead mice in them. But the location and private beach is a plus and the house does comfortably sleep 8-10 people. My BIGGEST concern with this property was that the host NEVER communicated with me after he received all the money for the rental AND the number on his site isn’t his, it sent me to some park service. This was a big deal for us as we paid extra for linens only to show up and NONE were provided. Thank goodness we found the “emergency sheets” or we would be having to go purchase sheets. Won’t be going back but it was perfect weather so we stayed outside on the beach all day long. If you’re just looking for a place that’s only a shell with furniture to make food and you’re fine with bringing ALL your own things but want a private bay beach then this is the place!

Overall nice house, big enough for the family to spread out and have their own space. Location was perfect and the neighbors were friendly. The house was clean but could use an overall deep clean.
