We loved our accommodations and the thoughtful details throughout the property. It was cozy comfortable while maintaining a clean minimalism that made it easy to navigate the house and its features. Our dog was as much considered as the human guests and we all found surprising and cute dog friendly items too. Thank you for making our first time on the shore for my son, and decades later return visit for my mom and myself so special.

The house was located in a charming, peaceful neighborhood. Uber delivered groceries, and the dog enjoyed himself thoroughly. As soon as you step outside, the scent of honeysuckle quickly fills the air. Also, the home has a stunning kitchen with everything needed to cook and a cozy soaking tub, all adding to the home's appeal.

Thank you so much for this lovely review! I'm glad it felt peaceful and that your pup had a great time too. The honeysuckle this time of year is something else, isn't it? Hope to welcome you back to Ripple soon!

VERY clean home. Full kitchenette, good selection of seasonings. Comfortable for our family of 10. Provided safety vests for kayaking. Prompt and kind response from the property manager when we had a couple questions. I would rate this definitely 5 Star stay, very quiet serene location if you want to 'get-away'. I look forward to coming here again soon.

A. I can’t say enough good about this house, property, and owner. This house and surroundings are amazing. The dock at the water was well used. Early morning coffee and sunrises. Waterside chats, Bald Eagles, jumping fish, Blue Herons. The house is very well done. Very recent upgrade to everything. Baths are upscale with Luxurious towels, shampoo, conditioner, and body wash in the shower. House has Updated lighting throughout. Screen porch was very nice to use. Bedrooms have very comfortable and plush beds. Also comfortable and spacious living and dining room, large and modern kitchen, new appliances. Plenty of separate areas for quiet space and conversation. Comfortable furniture in great condition. Very clean. New Flooring. Large fire pit for evenings around the fire. We planned a kayaking trip in the area (love the area) and had a great time here. Pet friendly. Definitely Highly recommend this house.

We had a wonderful week at Ripple. The kids ages 6-14 loved the kayaks and exploring the creek. The house was well appointed and comfortable. It was a lovely, quiet, location with great outdoors space. The host was easy to contact and quick to reply. Thanks!

We stayed to do a fishing tour in the bay, and it was perfect. It was extremely clean, and we loved the layout. It had plenty of space for our family. It has a nice dock and a fire pit in the backyard. Overall, there are only good things to say about this property. If you are planning a visit to the area, it is well worth it!

Beautiful Ripple

We had a small family reunion and 8 of us stayed in this gorgeous water front property. It was perfect in every way. The home is spacious and open with lots of room. Kitchen is well stocked. We enjoyed the screened in porch and sitting on the dock. I cannot say enough good things about this property. We will be back next year!!

What a Great Week!

The house is beautiful and the little extras were greatly appreciated, like washing machine pods, hair driers, trash bags, and hand soap. We liked the shower amenities and high quality towels. The views of the water from the house and dock was great for crabbing. Very clean and thoughtfully appointed. Kitchen was great - loved the fridge with built in water jug and touch faucets. Beds were very comfortable While we didn't use the kayaks, that was a nice option. However, not sure where to launch since the dock was high and the one landing had debris and tall grass. Screened porch was awesome. Internet was ripping fast

About the host

Hosted by Daisy Moossa

Host profile image

Hello! We’re John and Daisy Moossa, proud owners of Ripple. This home has been in our family for many years — it’s where Daisy grew up — and we’ve poured care into renovating it so guests can enjoy a serene, comfortable retreat.

Our goal is to create a space where families, friends, and even four-legged companions can unwind, explore the waterfront, and make lasting memories. From kayaking on Nassawadox Creek to relaxing on the screened porch or around the firepit, we hope you feel at home and fully enjoy all that Ripple has to offer.

We look forward to hosting you and sharing our little piece of Virginia’s Eastern Shore!

Why they chose this property

We love Ripple’s location on Silver Beach for its peaceful, private setting and stunning waterfront views. The property offers a serene retreat where you can watch the sunrise over Nassawadox Creek, relax on the dock, or enjoy quiet evenings around the firepit. This spot gives you the perfect balance of tranquility and outdoor adventure, right at your doorstep.

Being on Virginia’s Eastern Shore, you have easy access to explore the surrounding area if you like — whether it’s a day trip to Assateague for wildlife and beaches or a stroll through Cape Charles. But with the water, dock, and expansive private property, most guests find they don’t need to go anywhere else to truly enjoy the shore.

What makes this property unique

Ripple offers the perfect combination of waterfront adventure, privacy, and quiet luxury. Set on over 2 acres of lush grounds with towering loblolly pines, the property feels like your own private sanctuary. Explore Nassawadox Creek by kayak or stand-up paddleboard, watch for blue herons, and keep an eye out for the occasional bald eagle — wildlife is all around.

Inside, the home has been completely renovated and thoughtfully designed, so you can enjoy time in nature without sacrificing style or comfort. The open living spaces, updated kitchen, and remodeled bathrooms make it easy to relax and gather with family and friends. Outdoors, the private dock, screened-in porch with hanging swing, and firepit provide ample room to unwind and take in the scenery. With so much space, privacy, and access to both the water and the woods, Ripple is a retreat unlike any other on the Eastern Shore.
