Absolutely visiting again! This place is beautiful, peaceful, and everything is thought of. My pup and I loved it! Keep in mind for your dogs; maybe less than 100ft from the porch to the main road in and out of the point. Mine stays close but I had a lead line that I used most of the time I was spending in the yard. Easy drive to town for food or activities. We spent a lot of time on the screened porch, great breeze and lighting and scenery!

We had such a nice stay at the Blue Oyster Cottage. The house is very comfortable, and was stocked with everything we might need. The entire house was so adorable, but I especially like how they decorated the bedrooms upstairs! I felt that we had plenty of privacy, even though we were in a little neighborhood. I really enjoyed looking through the photo album about the owner's renovation process. Overall, I would definitely book again!

Above and Beyond!

We have never stayed in a cleaner, more beautifully decorated home. The hosts thought of all the small details, which made this the perfect get-away. We would highly recommend these hosts and this destination!!

Loved our stay!

We stayed through the NewYear and weekend- arrived to delicious cookies! The cottage is very warm and cozy for a winter stay. We lived having the fire pit and the ability to bring our cat. The house is beautifully decorated- a work of art- and for folks who love to cook, the kitchen was set up. We’ve already nooked our next stay!!!

Long weekend for spring break

Very lovely home in a nice and quiet area. The home is beautifully decorated and is well stocked with everything you need. The host goes above and beyond to make your stay enjoyable. Location is convenient to town and a quick trip to Hughlett Point Natural Area Preserve. We visited the beach at Windmill Point which is still under construction, but seems like it will be nice when it is done. Overall, a great place to stay and enjoyed our short time there.

Nice old farmhouse

The the decor was tasteful and the interior spacious. Nice quiet area. Communication was good. The oven needed to be cleaned and the carpet in the living room was stained, but those are truly minor things compared to the comfortable accommodations and special touches of this stay. There were even snacks, water, and dog treats for us upon arrival!

Charming Cottage

We had a wonderful stay at this charming cottage in White Stone! The decorations were impeccable. The house was so clean, and we really enjoyed our time there. The house was equipped with everything we needed. The fenced in yard was great for our dog and the touches all around the house were so wonderful! We would love to return in the future!

Sweet house with thoughtful hosts

We loved the thoughtful details in the interior design of the house. It made it feel very homey, and we especially enjoyed spending time in the screened porch that was a refuge during a tropical storm. Access to the Rappahannock River/Chesapeake Bay is less than a quarter mile away and we enjoyed kayaking a short distance to a private beach where our dog could swim while we enjoyed the cool river.

Response from VrboOwner on 8 Aug 2024
Stuart, I am so sorry you did not enjoy your stay. I reached out to you via the vrbo app several times before and during your stay to ask if there was anything you needed but I never got a response from you. Lock box info was personally sent over 24 hours before your arrival so you should have received it. Grass was cut just a couple of days before you arrived so I’m not sure why you felt it needed cutting. Unfortunately we are in a coastal area and mosquitoes are sometimes evident especially after a recent rain. I do have plenty of spray provided as well as coils and Thermacell vapor repellent. I do wish you had reached out to us with your concerns, we would have been happy to do an extra quick cut of the grass as well as let you know where the repellents were as it seems you were unable to find them. We do our very best to be outstanding hosts but we can’t help if we are unaware of the issues.

Something about the sound of a Screen Door....

Beautifully restored farmhouse -the owners had a vision that they brought to life in this wonderful cottage. Screened in porch with comfy glider and bay breezes make for a recipe of relaxation! Listening to the sound of the opening and closing screen door took me back to summers of my childhood and the art of a good nap!! This cottage is amazing, and the owners were so helpful if we needed anything!! The decor is stunning and the surrounding area with the bay and the river is beautiful! I loved the small towns nearby and all they had to offer from delicious seafood to historical sites. I would recommend this place and cottage to anyone looking to get away to a place where time is yours and stress melts away!! Thanks to the hosts for a wonderful getaway!!

We had a great time at this charming cottage: remote, quiet, beautiful nature. House was very clean, beautifully decorated and had all the essentials and more! Including sunscreen :) The screened porch was a great place to sip coffee and watch the birds at the bird feeder- and stay away from the mosquitos! Grill was available along with all the supplies. The host provided plenty of recommendations for restaurants (we tried the Dredge, Merrior and Los Compadres- all great!) , things to visit and explore. We loved Wake beach and Hughlett point natural area preserve- highly recommend taking the shore trail (pic below) . Choice of 2 Supermarkets about 15-20 min away. Ride into town is under 10 min. We ventured more often into Kilmarnock , slightly bigger town with a nice park. Host was available when we had questions and responded promptly. We also had our small dog who had the big yard to explore. If you love a nature retreat, this is a great place to enjoy time away from the crowds.

Hundred year old home

Booking this lovely renovated 100+ year old home was effortless. Mary did a fantastic job in renovating this home, and I appreciated that she kept some of the original parts of the house to showcase the architecture. Two things. Mary is a very thoughtful host. She left cold water in the fridge, had all kinds of coffee makers, and having the bare essentials supplies handy because she knows that stores are few and far with varying hours of operation. We thought that was super thoughtful. The multiple lighting options were welcoming especially the string lights that helped us find our way from the parking lot into the house. Our stay was short but we did enjoy the beautiful and very clean home that Mary hosted. She was engaging and suggested some wonderful places to grab food. My only surprise was that this home came up when I was searching for Deltaville, but it is about 25 minutes away by land. Thank you Mary for being an amazing host and allowing us to stay in your beautifully renovated home.

Anniversary Weekend Getaway

The moment you step into this lovely cottage you have the most welcoming feeling which gave us a time to really relax. Mary Lou and Mike were amazing Hosts for our Anniversary Getaway. So much so we cannot wait to be able to find the time to return. Our Hosts were attentive and very easy to communicate with. We actually missed them once we came home. You can tell they have put a lot of love into restoring and renovating this lovely cottage and putting some of their own personal touches within. In many ways for us like we never left our own home. Our pup Louie even felt very content and loved the spacious yard. The kitchen is very well stocked should you choose to stay in and use it which we did one of the nights. The dining room was very nice for our anniversary dinner. A couple mornings we had coffee out on the porch depending on the weather. There are also lots of restaurants in the area that Mary Lou will lead you in the direction of and also some others we found you can venture in other areas along with some great antique shops. Lots of activities within driving distance. Nearby we saw some eagles and all types of waterfowl and ducks. This is not just a summer getaway as many may come for but whatever the season getaway as we found out. We appreciate Mary Lo and Mike opening up their Cottage to Us and our Pup Louie and look very much to coming back! High recommended!!

Thank you for taking the time to review your stay at the Cottage. You were great guests and would love to host you again. I admit we were surprised by your 8/10 ranking as it seemed when I reached out that you were enjoying your stay. Truthfully we have only received 10/10 ratings on this platform and 5* on the other in 4 years of hosting and hundreds of reviews. My husband and I manage, clean and operate the Cottage 100% on our own and strive to be the best hosts we can posibly be and want our guests to have the best possible experience at the Cottage. We do wish you had reached out during your stay if there was something you needed or was not to your expectations. So we can be better hosts for our future guests we would appreciate knowing what we could improve on in your opinion.
