About this property

Private Waterfront Escape Near Kilmarnock: Firepit, Dock, Game Room & Kayaks

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.

Arriving by boat? Guests are welcome to tie up at our private pier. Water depth is approximately 3 feet at mean low tide, making it suitable for many powerboats and shallow-draft vessels. Due to the depth, the dock is not suitable for most sailboats or other deep-draft boats

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.

Why guests love Oyster Cove Getaway:

One-level living (no stairs)
Private dock with kayaks, canoe & crabbing
Peaceful waterfront setting with abundant wildlife
Less than 4 miles to Kilmarnock

Pet friendly (up to 2 dogs, $100 per pet).

We had a wonderful stay at Oyster Cove Getaway. The home is immaculate! It has so many nice touches and thoughtful amenities. Kristie is a wonderful, thoughtful, and caring host. She is readily available and definitely goes above and beyond! The covered front porch is a great place to sit in the morning and enjoy your coffee. It was a very peaceful, relaxing getaway!

Beautiful property and excellent location!!

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!

A Few Days of Peace and Quiet

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 had a wonderful weekend visit to Oyster Cove Getaway. The property is perched atop a small hill overlooking Taylors Creek with easy access to the water. The house is comfortable and well equipped. While there were just 4 adults and 1 Labrador this visit, there are lots of extras that I know my grandkids would enjoy. (Game room with air hockey, foosball and PacMan as well as kayaks and a canoe for outdoor fun). Kristie is a wonderful host and was very responsive to any inquiry we had. We hope to visit again in the not too distant future!

Thank you for your wonderful review! We are so glad you enjoyed your stay at Oyster Cove Getaway and had the opportunity to relax and take in the beautiful views of our waterfront home. It means a great deal to hear that you found the home comfortable and well-equipped. We're especially happy that you noticed the amenities for families—from the game room to the kayaks and canoe. Our own children helped inspire many of those additions, and we love hearing that guests can envision making memories here with their grandchildren. Thank you for being such a wonderful guest. We truly appreciate your kind words and would be delighted to welcome you, your family, and your Labrador back to Oyster Cove Getaway anytime!

Perfect Northern Neck Getaway

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!

Wonderful Weems House

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.

Proud Parents

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.
