A Stunning Waterfront Escape on 13 Private Acres
Make your getaway one to remember at Sunrise Tides, a breathtaking riverfront retreat on the serene Mattaponi River in West Point, VA. Nestled on 13 acres of secluded, wooded beauty, this home offers unparalleled relaxation, adventure, and stunning sunrises—all with no jellyfish in sight due to the freshwater!
Spacious & Stylish Accommodations
Step inside and experience the perfect blend of comfort and elegance with hardwood floors, an open-concept design, and panoramic river views. The fully equipped modern kitchen features white marble countertops and everything you need to entertain. Gather for meals in the dining area (seats 10) or enjoy casual breakfasts at the kitchen table (seats 6). Unwind in the living room, where large windows showcase the river, or catch the game on the 75” SmartTV.

Master Suite 1: King bed, en-suite bathroom
Master Suite 2: Queen bed, en-suite bathroom (located on first floor)
Bedroom 3: Queen bed
Bedroom 4: Two twin beds, shares a Jack-and-Jill bathroom with Bedroom 3
Private Study: A dedicated work or relaxation space with comfy chairs and stunning river views

- Four built-in bunk beds (each with its own light & outlet)
- Plush sectional couch & huge SmartTV
- Foosball table, games, and toys

Unforgettable Outdoor Adventures
The Mattaponi River is your backyard playground! Swim, kayak, paddleboard, fish, or tube in its freshwater currents. Watch wildlife, spot jumping fish, and soak in the beauty from the private dock—which features an upper-level seating area and a picnic table below. At low tide, enjoy a narrow beach, and at high tide, take the plunge from the dock’s steps!
Land-Based Fun Includes:
- Playground & swingset for little adventurers
- Basketball hoop, cornhole, ping pong, disc golf, giant Jenga & more!

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Ruby Foley

We live in Richmond, VA and were thrilled to find a hidden gem on the Mattaponi river - fresh water, beautiful views, and peaceful scenery only an hour from home. We bought the home in 2021 and spent a year enjoying it with friends and family after being apart during the pandemic for so long. In 2022, we began offering it as a vacation retreat and have enjoyed hosting guests ever since! In addition to sharing the home, we love introducing guests to the small river town of West Point and its local businesses.
Why they chose this property
In addition to being located so close to Richmond and Williamsburg, this home offers exceptional views of the river that we fell in love with. - it is the perfect secluded retreat with everything that you need.
