Chris is an excellent communicator. The property could use some minor work (fence, carpet, etc) we could not swim because of the jellyfish but fishing was great!

My wife and I stayed at Chris and Bobby’s place for a long weekend to get out of the city with our 2 month old + dog. It was exactly what we needed. Cozy, relaxing, quiet and an adventure. The bed was comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked. Do you have a kid? The house comes with everything you might need from dishware to sleeping accommodations to toys and more. Seriously so fun. The fenced in yard was also a treat so we could bring our dog. You can tell Chris and Bobby have put their heart into personalizing the space and making it accessible. We went for walks in the neighborhood and explored the area for good hikes and restaurants. The neighbors are friendly and polite. The dock is beautiful and the view is exquisite. Especially for sunrise and sunset! We can’t wait to tell our friends about this place and go back. :)

My family of 6 adults and one dog had a lovely stay at Waterside. The house has amazing views out over the river. We were rather unlucky in that the water was full of jellyfish during our entire stay so we were unable to enjoy kayaking, swimming or floating. That said, we were incredibly grateful to get to enjoy the views from the comfort of the air-conditioning in these circumstances! Chris was very responsive to our requests for info during the trip and was proactive in sending tips about local events. We would highly recommend the Irvington Farmer's market, the 4th of July celebration in Kinsale, and the Historic Rice Hotel and Tavern for those exploring the area. Overall, this was a great place to spend a relaxing vacation week!

Stunning view at this well stocked home on the water. Beautiful view from multiple bedrooms. Great chance to teach your kids to crab on the pier. Cute town about 20 minutes away with antiques and coastal shopping. Williamsburg in driving distance. Truly a relaxing week.

Thank you for sharing your home! Our family had a relaxing week together on dock and deck and enjoyed kayaking and paddle boarding. We took an afternoon trip to the lovely town of Kilmarnock where we browsed the shops and had the most delicious lobster rolls (Connecticut style) at Small Town Burger on Main Street. One evening we went to Cygnets Restaurant (apx 10-15 minutes) and had an enjoyable, delicious dinner. Wishing you and your family many wonderful memories in your home.

We enjoyed our stay a great deal. The house was clean, comfortable and fun. There is lots to do in the vicinity, but we loved just being at the house: the game room, the dock, the fire pit. We will definitely come back.

From the large space to the amazing views, the home was perfect. We were so privileged to be able stay at Chris and Bobby’s wonderful home. The house was perfect, the views were amazing, the peace was blissful. (even with three teenage boys) We had a beautiful stay. The boys went fishing off the dock, it was quite comical watching these city boys hooking worms. The fire pit was so wonderful sitting and enjoying the lake and the fire. Chris and Bobby sent us info on the little farmers market which I do believe all of Heathsville showed up for. It had lots of goodies. Of course we supported the local crafters. Chris was so on top of everything. Emails and text were very thorough. The house had everything we needed. And even YES! Plenty of hot water after many showers!!! We will be back. Thank you Chris and Bobby for an amazing weekend! We are all so grateful for being able to share your home.

The view of the river from the house is spectacular. Besides an incredible view, the property met all the important points when staying out of ones home. It was very clean, the hot water was HOT, no stray bugs, a very well stocked kitchen, comfortable beds and tvs from this century in most rooms. The weather sucked so we didn't get to utilize the outdoor space much but we were sure to make it down to the dock to do some fishing. You're really out in the woods so there's tons of nature, like bald eagles and lots of fish. It's a perfect getaway from everyday life. The hosts are very responsive and questions get answered almost immediately.

great place to get away and what a great home :)

House was comfortable and well appointed. The dock was perfect and we all had a great time fishing.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay…the home is warm, welcoming, and comfortable and has a beautiful river view. The location is fairly isolated and very quiet. It was fun to be able to walk a few steps out of the house down to the dock. Kayaking was lovely. We loved that noisy boats in the vicinity were infrequent and having the fenced-in portion of the yard for our dog was really helpful.

We have stayed at Waterside many times and will return again. The property is amazingly equipped but not overly curated. From the huge, very well equipped kitchen to the fire pit, deck, and crab traps, almost everything has been thought out. If you are a walker it is easy to walk into town and visit the shops and the grocery store. We rarely go out for meals but there are many places a short - and I mean short - drive away. We usually visit the brewery in Callao at least once and there are options to buy amazing oysters less than 20 mins away. Depending on the time of your visit you could survive on crabs - we have made visits in the summer and caught more large, legal crabs than we could eat while on the property and left with enough crabs to make many crab cakes back in DC.

very good location however , it needs some up keep , on the dock , the decks , the yard etc, overall a great stay , but would be so much nicer with some simple apgrades to exterior , grass cutting , weed eating , manucuring etc the hvac nest control , is a very annoying part of the stay , i would eliminate this

We have used VRBO for years and this is one of our favorites. We loved the decor and used the pool table a ton. Our dog loved the water and we appreciated the fenced dog area. Thank you so much for sharing your home!

Our family had a perfect holiday here. It was so comfy with beautiful surroundings. We enjoyed watching the bald eagles, deer and a beautiful fox that made a very quick visit in the early morning. Our whole family enjoyed playing pool and darts as well as some of the many board games provided by Chris and his beautiful family. We absolutely loved it there!!

We had a lovely stay at Chris's place. The house is generously equipped with anything one can think of, from the kitchen to the game room to the outdoor activities. We canoed, swam, barbecued, watched the sunset over the river. All in all superb and comfortable. Chris is also super responsive, unasked he extended our check-in and check-out by 6 hours each.
