Great home in scenic location

The home is beautiful and well maintained. Outside of not catching any fish or crabs (too early in the year) we had a relaxing stay. Barry, the host is extremely responsive. When we found the water feeding the showers and sinks was lukewarm at best, he sent a tech to adjust the hot water heaters and the situation was immediately rectified.

Northern neck family retreat

Large premium house with outstanding water views and a dock. Multiple outside sitting areas made it great for my children & their spouses. Our toddler grandchild also did well. The large dining room table and we’ll equipped kitchen made meals a pleasure. The location is walkable to the town center. Including satellite TV was also good.

Wonderful end to the summer

Wonderfully relaxing home at the “Rivah”, beautifully decorated, fully stocked and convenient location. If you are looking for a home at the river that will fit the entire family and accommodate your boat this is the house. It’s also nice to be near the Tides Inn for the nights you don’t want to cook. Zero complaints and Barry was super easy to work with.

Perfect!

We rented this property to celebrate my birthday and it was the perfect space to relax and rejuvenate! Check-in was a breeze and I was incredibly grateful for the easy communication with the property owner. We had a few minor questions pop up during our stay and he was always very quick to politely respond. The house is meticulously maintained from the gorgeous kitchen, large well-stocked bathrooms, and all the way down to the dock. The layout is also maximized for comfort, and everyone felt like they had their own space which really helped on a day when the weather wasn't so great. I could have stayed at the house for the entire trip, but the proximity to great restaurants and shopping was a huge plus! The Tides Inn, The Local, The Office Bistro, Dredge, etc. were all fun excursions. I really cannot say enough great things about this property and am so excited to return again soon! Thank you so much for sharing it with us!

About the host

Hosted by Barry

We are located in Virginia and bought this property in 2013 to enjoy and to rent out when we are not using.

Why they chose this property

Irvington is a unique town, and the house is on Deep water. There is a lot to do and it sure does beat the traffic and crowds at the beach. The Tides Inn, Camp Vineyard, Golden Eagle golf courses, restaurants and Oyster Trail are all within walking distance. Great new restaurants include Dredge, The Office, Vine, and Adrift.

What makes this property unique

The Tides Cottage is near Tides Inn and convenient to all amenities of the Virginia Northern Neck and the tri-city area of Irvington, White Stone and Kilmarnock.

Home is stunning both inside and out.
