Private Waterfront Escape w/ Dock, Kayaks + Fire Pit • <4mi to Kilmarnock!
Escape to a peaceful waterfront retreat where quiet mornings, wildlife sightings, and time on the water come naturally. At Oyster Cove Getaway, you’ll enjoy easy, one-level living with sweeping views of Taylors Creek and the Corrotoman River—feeling tucked away and private, yet less than 4 miles from Kilmarnock.
Start your mornings with coffee on the private pier as the water stays calm and glassy—often with bald eagles soaring overhead. Spend your days kayaking or canoeing from your own dock, crabbing with the provided pot, casting a line, or simply relaxing by the water. A built-in ladder on the pier makes it easy to jump in and cool off on warm days.
As the sun sets, gather around the waterfront fire pit for quiet evenings under the stars—the perfect way to unwind after a day on the water.
When you’re ready to explore, you’re just minutes from Kilmarnock, Irvington, and White Stone, with easy access to local restaurants, boutique shops, wineries, breweries, golf courses, Compass Entertainment Complex, and The Tides Inn.

This was a beautiful property and house. It's close enough to antiquing, but still had a somewhat "removed" feeling. Everything was perfectly clean, and check in was super easy. Would definitely recommend for a quiet, laid back stay!

We loved hosting Louise and her guest and would happily welcome them back to "Oyster Cove" anytime!
Louise was very respectful of our home and was an absolute delight to host.
Thank you, Louise, for being such a fantastic guest! We hope to see you again soon.
We loved staying at the property to celebrate my husband’s 70th birthday! We overindulged in the local oysters! We definitely would recommend this property. It was very welcoming for our family!

It was a joy to host Debora and her family as they celebrated her husband's 70th birthday! Debora and her guests were very respectful of our property and excellent communicators as well. We hope to host Debora again in the near future. Excellent guest!!!
A perfect few days to relax and enjoy beautiful weather riverside. Wild animals, birds, hiking, touring, good food and the perfect place to stay. Kristie was a great communicator and the home was lovely, just like the pictures. More room than the 2 of us needed but we enjoyed our time, especially sitting on the patio and taking in the view.

We greatly enjoyed hosting Mona and her husband. They were exceptional guests who took great care of our home and kept everything very tidy and clean. We hope that Mona will stay with us again in the near future!
We loved everything about our four night stay at Oyster Cove Getaway! The house was beautifully decorated, spacious, and had all the amenities we needed. Having water views from the house and a private dock for crabbing, fishing, and kayaking were an added bonus. We also enjoyed exploring nearby Kilmarnock, Irvington, and White Stone (each town was about 10 minutes away or less). The local seafood was a treat and the shops couldn’t be cuter! Lastly, it was a pleasure communicating with Kristie - she was very responsive and helpful throughout the booking process. We highly recommend if you’re looking for a great spot to relax with family or friends!

Katie- It was an absolute joy to host you and your family at Oyster Cove Getaway. Thank you for taking such great care of our home. You have listed several reasons why the Northern Neck is such a special place and why our family loves spending time here as well.
Hope to see you all again very soon.
This house was as warm and welcoming as the owners. Kristie and Aaron met any need or requests I had. They were great to make sure I enjoyed my stay. This house comes with a great location and great views. Located in a private area it is still near to town with Walmart being less than 10 minutes away. The driveway is a great and safe place to walk. There is a peaceful dock on the property and easy water access. The beds are also very comfortable. I would definitely stay here again.

We loved having Dara and Bo stay at our place! Dara was an outstanding guest and an excellent communicator. She took great care of our house and treated it as if it were her very own. She was extremely respectful, clean and tidy and you couldn't even tell she had been in the home after her exit. We hope that Dara and Bo will come and stay with us again, it would be great to have them back as our guests.
This property is very nicely decorated and has a spacious master bedroom with accommodation for three children and a baby in the suite. The family room has full length windows all around for lots of light in addition to a newly coastal theme renovation of the large fireplace. Kitchen has a great selection of cookware and new appliances. Watched deer in the back yard and our son-in-law had a good run on the area roads. Huge table off the kitchen seats a large group.

About the host
Hosted by Kristie Proctor
I am a lifelong Virginian who grew up enjoying rural coastal Virginia, and my love for the Northern Neck has continued to grow over the decades! From a very young age, I spent summers growing up on the river boating, fishing, crabbing and enjoying the best seafood on the East Coast! I enjoy carrying on this tradition with my husband and children. I take pride in providing a cozy and welcoming environment for my guests and their families!
