Host was very informative and great communication throughout our stay! Wonderful home that was better than our large family could have hoped for! Breathtaking views on a generously seated porch each morning and only a 15 minute ferry ride to Williamsburg! Highlight of our trip no traffic and ferry rides each day! We hope to stay here again next year on our family’s annual vacation. Fully stocked kitchen and a yard big enough to have a family soccer game. We truly had a wonderful stay! Thank you!

This was our annual "Sisters Trip". We all had a nice time. There were five of us and the 4 bedrooms worked out well. Dorothy was very helpful in suggusting things to do. We loved shopping in Smithfield (went there 2 of the days). The ferry was also a fun adventure and sitting on the beach of the James River was very relaxing. Over all, we enjoyed our 7 day visit with perfect weather and great views of the James River.

A cozy, clean country home with stunning river views. We loved having access to the riverside beach. It was perfect for finding beautiful shells. While it’s pretty remote, it’s just a short ferry ride to Williamsburg. It was the perfect spot for a girls’ getaway weekend, with all the comforts of home. We would definitely stay here again if we’re in the area and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a quiet, relaxing escape!

We had a great stay here! The house was exactly as listed. Every evening the kids swam in the river and we hunted for shells and sharks teeth. The kitchen is well stocked. We would definitely book again!
