We enjoyed every aspect of our week. From the spacious and beautiful home, the private beach, the lawn games, the wildlife, and the slow pace. The home is stocked with everything you might need to cook with (although I'm not a fan of the cook-top stoves that glow under the glass) and 2 refrigerators. The water was clean, refreshing, and kept us entertained. We didn't encounter any jellyfish, seaweed, or odors from the fish processing plant. We would recommend it to anyone with a large group. Tom, the owner, was easy to contact and communicated with us the entire time from reservation to checkout time.

Comments from the family “Loved the individual spaces for privacy” “Thoroughly enjoyed the toys (bikes, corn hull, rafts, kayaks, game room etc)” Lots of yard space to “hang out”. “Great view” “Great birding spot”. “A real boost for us was we could bring the dog” All in all we had a most satisfying vacation.

Our multigenerational family stayed at this property for almost a week and everyone agreed it was one of the best homes we’ve stayed in as a group. Everyone left feeling relaxed and refreshed. The actual home was well-equipped for a group, comfortable, and had plenty of room for everyone to either gather in the main areas, or to spread out for alone time. A lot of thought has been put into making sure that everything needed to live within a group in one home is there, from updated, ample and comfortable furniture, to plenty of kitchen/diningware, to games and activities for those who want it, to an extra fridge because feeding a large group requires a lot of food! The outdoor spaces and the setting is the real draw, though… so many comfortable and peaceful seating areas throughout the property, the shade of the trees, the beach… it was perfect. We most enjoyed kayaking and floating around in the water (which is pretty calm and shallow most of the time), lounging on the deck overlooking the bay, sunning on the back patio, and watching the kids run around playing hide and seek and catching fireflies among the trees. Communication with the owner when necessary was easy, and he was responsive to any questions we had. We didn’t do much traveling in the area (we really just wanted to hang out together at the house), but grocery stores are 20-30 minutes away, and there are good restaurants within the same distance. We’d definitely return!

This was a perfect vacation for our multigenerational family of nine, with so many well-thought-out rooms and places to spread out. The tweens loved the bunkroom and game room, while the sunroom became our puzzle nook. The back deck, Adirondack chairs, and waterfront deck became favorites for reading or observing the beach fun. The kitchen is well-equipped and the bedrooms spacious and comfortable. The house, the property, and the view are even more spectacular in person. We appreciated the slower pace of this rural area and felt like we hit the jackpot with this property! The private stretch of beach was a highlight, and we had fun swimming, boating, and crabbing. The backyard shed was filled with beach chairs, floats, and yard games. No issues with fish smells or jellyfish. Thoughtful neighbors alerted us to a rocket launch one of the days we were there, and we enjoyed watching it from around the campfire that evening. We loved our dinners in town at Captain Crab (twice!) and Reedville Market. We ventured farther to Horn Harbor Restaurant and the Chesapeake Restaurant at Tides Inn on nights when those in town were closed. (Check hours in advance to plan ahead) No meal was complete without a stop at Chitterchat’s for homemade ice cream! A final foodie shout-out to Fawn’s Delectables Cafe in town. Fawn kept the goodies coming all week long! She and her staff were so accommodating and lovely to interact with, and the café itself is a warm, inviting space. Highly recommend!

Beautiful house, great beach for the kids. Downside: restaurants were closed most of the week. We had a couple of days where you could smell the fish processing plant, limiting outside activities.

Remote, quiet and peaceful, a great trip away on the Bay for some R&R. Property is well thought out, the highlights being outdoor dining and entertainment options, platform overlooking the water, and hot outdoor showers! My 3 kids really enjoyed being on the water every moment. 4 osprey nested nearby and were very cool to watch all day. Kitchen well appointed. Only knocks were lots of bird poop on one portion of the deck and we couldnt find extra linens, some of the pillows and mattress covers were very flat/stained and could use replacing and the town is basically deserted with little dining options (that are rarely open). Cooking on the outdoor grill was a daily necessity but was in a beautiful setting. For price paid ($1200/night) I would give this serene property a 4.5/5. Thank you for having us to your home!

We travelled to Reedville, VA for a burial of the patriarch of the family at his family plot. Little did we know that the house we would use would be the perfect place for all 12 of us to be able to walk through this time together. The views were amazing and picturesque, specifically at sunrise. The open space was perfect for gathering with adequate seating for all. We loved the fireplace, game room (well the teens did), the back porch, the ability to use the bicycles, the rooms were perfect amount for 12 people to sleep in beds, the kitchen worked for our needs (primarily breakfast) and just the calm peaceful feelings the house gave off was again perfect for us as we took in this final goodbye. We recommend, if you're looking to find a beautiful home for a large family away from any hustle and bustle, choose this home in Reedville. It's about 45 mins away from some of the other waterfront towns with great restaurants and views. Or just stay at the house/cook on the grill, and enjoy the waterfront relaxation.
