The property is fantastic, pictures do not do it justice. We had 6 adults staying in 4 bedrooms and everyone was very pleased with their bedroom.The property was well stocked with kitchen essentials, even disposable products (we used up the aluminum foil so we replaced it).The views of the river from were great, even inside the house.We are very thankful to Rene for making this property available. We look forward to staying there again.

It was a beautiful home with lots of space and outstanding views. We could watch the tide come in and the ducks and vultures - who are very entertaining! Everything was very clean. I was disappointed that the gas fireplace didn’t work, but we were so tired when coming back from Williamsburg that we hardly noticed! We will be back! Thank you for everything!

We had a fantastic stay! The house is gorgeous and we loved spending our evenings on and along the river. There was lots of space for our group of 8 to have their own rooms and bathrooms. Using the ferry (which was only 5 minutes away) to get across to Jamestown and Williamsburg was easy and greatly enjoyed by my children. We hope to stay here again in the future!

The home is spacious & well maintained. Beds and living room furniture are very comfortable. We didn't do much cooking, but the kitchen had plenty of dishes & other equipment. The only complaint is most of the windows/doors in the living/ kitchen area dont have shades. The morning sun is blinding in that space. The view is amazing though! My sisters & I all agreed this was our favorite VRBO ever! Oh, & Rene was great to work with.

We booked this property for our annual siblings trip and it did not disappoint! It backs up to the James River, and is very relaxing to sit on the deck or patio and watch the birds, and fish jumping out of the water. There were three couples and each of us basically had a floor to ourselves. The lower level is a small apartment, so that was an added bonus. The house is very well appointed, and has everything you would need for a family or group getaway. While there is not a ton of stuff to do in Surry, Williamsburg is just a ferry ride away (we all enjoyed that). I did not have the need to communicate with the owner much during our stay, but she was extremely responsive with the couple of questions I had, leading up to it. I would highly recommend this property! It truly was wonderful!
