About the host
Hosted by Kevin Onizuk
Kevin and Jamie Onizuk live in nearby Williamsburg, VA. We have 4 kids, mostly grown, but they seem to still like being at home. We purchased this property in July 2022 as a relaxing river retreat for our family and are excited to share it with our guests. We fell in love with the amazing views from the property, the privacy/seclusion, and of course the beach! It is our favorite place to go to just get away from it all, while being close to Williamsburg and everything there is to see and do in the Historic Triangle.
Why they chose this property
We stumbled across this property on our way for a day of shopping in historic Smithfield. We immediately fell in love with the stunning river views, the private secluded beach, and the cute cottage with a vacation feel. Days at Bay View Place melt away any stresses you may have and it is truly hard to leave.
What makes this property unique
The biggest benefit of the home is the location.....a beautiful half-acre parcel on the James River. The elevated bank provide for amazing views. Sit on the back porch and look out over Jamestown Island (first English settlement in America), watch the fireworks at Busch Gardens in the Summer, watch bald eagles fly by, or just simply relax and enjoy the river life. The home is a historic cottage renovated with modern comforts with a great home-away-from-home vacation vibe. Be careful, once you stay, it is hard to leave!
The home is located in a rural area, but only just over a mile from the Jamestown/Scotland ferry, a free ride over to Jamestown, Williamsburg, and everything that area has to offer. Spend a day shopping at the outlets, playing at Busch Gardens, learning about the history of America, and come back to the relaxing oasis at Bay View. There you can kayak, swim, play cornhole, fish, or just relax and enjoy. Lots to do nearby, lots to do at the house, and plenty of opportunity to just relax.
