About this property
Chesapeake Bay Beachfront Retreat
Get away from it all on Henry's Island, offering alluring privacy and breathtaking views of the Chesapeake Bay. Enjoy the 5-acre Bay-front home whose private sandy beach includes unique Northern Neck sand dunes. Swim, crab, fish, or use provided canoe, kayak, or paddle board to explore the water. Relax on lounge chairs with a frosty drink (margarita machine included). Take in the Bay breeze while reading a book or sleeping on the beach. The open floor plan and 9 ft. ceilings provide a spectacular view to watch bald eagles, osprey, and heron without leaving the beautifully furnished house. Dine inside overlooking the Bay or eat outside on the patio set after using the gas grill. Three king bedrooms (including two master suites), a bunk room, and a separate playroom make it comfortable and fun for adults and kids alike.
Something for Everyone: Tour one of historic Northern Neck's 19 museums, golf, or sip Virginia's finest wines on the Chesapeake Bay Wine Trail. Sail, shop or dine in award-winning restaurants nearby. Enjoy an easy drive to historic Williamsburg, Busch Gardens, and Water Country USA.

This was our third trip to this house.....we love the location, it is private and picturesque...we got to see the bald eagles again!!!!!! WE love the 30 second walk to the beach and the calm water of the bay! The local environment is also beautiful...especially the towns of White Stone and Kilmarnock and the local marinas. The home is beautiful. WE hope to return!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property. It is a lovely home with beautiful views and ample space for a large group. The house was clean and well stocked with necessities. The property manager was flexible and responsive. We loved the beach and had great fun swimming, kayaking, canoeing and paddle boarding. We are big fans of the northern neck area and nearby Irvington, White Stone and Kilmarnock for their restaurants, shops and events. We highly recommend this home for a family vacation!

I’m glad you enjoyed your stay. Reading the reviews always makes me thankful that we care share our love of the Northern Neck with others (and that we have family time carved out for us next week).
Terrific houses with incredible views of the bay. Kids loved playing on the beach and in the game room. Have rented before and hopefully will come back again
This was the second year in a row we have stayed here, and we absolutely loved it! The house was clean and smelled so fresh when we arrived, and the location is so beautiful. We really enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere, and the fishing was fantastic. Diane is a wonderful host, and we hope to stay here again in the future!
It was good except there were so many biting flies outside and no toilet papers and trash bags provided. Overall, was a great stay.

Glad you enjoyed your stay. It’s difficult to determine paper products needs for various size groups so we provide TP in each bathroom, and a trash bag to get you started. As noted in the description families need to plan for their paper needs beyond the starter set.
The house, location, and amenities were excellent! We wanted a relaxing spot for our family to have time together and this place was perfect. The canoe, kayak, and other accessories were greatly appreciated, thank you!
The Location was amazing! Very restful atmosphere. Large rooms, great kitchen excellent views of the beach!! We enjoyed
watching the Bald Eagles fly around. Very family friendly home!!!

Always good to hear others enjoyed the getaway. The eagles and dolphins are my favorites.
If you're looking for a relaxing spot to gather a group, you'll enjoy spending time in this secluded location with space to spread out. We've been grateful for many happy memories made here!
This was my family's 3rd time staying at Diane's beach house. The weather was beautiful our entire stay and the water perfect for swimming! We all had a great time and would book again in the future!
We had a wonderful stay! The location of the property is private and there is plenty to do for everyone of all ages. The fishing and crabbing kept everyone entertained. Highly recommended for unplugging and having time together!
Diane was great to work with and the house was perfect for a couple families.... Thanks so much!!!

It remains one of our favorites, too. I’m glad we get to share it.
Perfect weekend getaway for our family! The views were spectacular and the water was lovely. With young kids, I especially loved how shallow the water was all the way out to the rock barriers. We even saw 2 pods of dolphins our last morning there. Highly recommend this house!
We had just a great and relaxing time! This home is beautiful as well as the property. It was everything we were looking for for our family to just be able to relax and have peace. We will definitely be back.
We had three generations… grandparents , two grown kids and their spouses, and kids ranging from 10 months to 12 years. The location can’t be beat. The water is calm, private sandy beach, kayaking, paddle boarding, fishing, spacious kitchen, gas BBQ. We all loved it!

About the host
Hosted by Diane Boyle
We love the relaxed atmosphere of being right on the Chesapeake Bay where going to beach doesn't require leaving the property.
Why they chose this property
Just a short distance from DC, this private location provides a soft sandy beach to relax. However relaxing doesn't mean boring. The historic Northern Neck of Virginia has award winning golf, hiking, biking, fishing, boating, history (birthplace of three US presidents), art, antiques, and vineyards.
What makes this property unique
The private beach and endless Bay views makes it perfect for relaxing and playing.
