Beautiful and Quiet

Perfect if you are looking for a quiet vacation away from everything. The beach was beautiful and private. The house is small as advertised, but big enough for a small family. It does have all the basics, but I would not plan on cooking there. Multiple restaurants about 20 minutes away and if you are willing to drive further, Cape Charles is about 40 minutes and has restaurants and shops. Christi was very nice and hospitable, great with kids.

I am so glad you had a wonderful time! Was the bed to small? We were looking at placing a queen bed in the bedroom, but it would take up to much space, however, we are looking into a larger type bed to use. Thank you for letting me know and we will try to find something that will accommodate our guests better! I hope we get to see you again in the future! We really enjoyed having you here!

We had a great time at Sandy Hill Sunsets! The tiny house was just enough space for our family of four.

Perfect Weekend

Christi was so welcoming and accommodating. The tiny home was right by the beach with an amazing view from the bay window. Plenty of water toys to choose from and the water was so clean. Having a fire right on the beach while watching the sunset was the highlight of the trip. Definitely helped us unwind from the daily grind.

We stayed at Sandy Hill Sunsets for a long weekend. Both the kids and us did not want to leave. The bay is beautiful and sunsets are unparalleled. We had full use of kayaks and paddle boards, as well as a private beach, not to mention, even an ice machine on the premises. It was quiet and relaxing! We will be going back!

Fabulous place to unwind and revel in the beauty of nature. The tiny house was intimate and very comfortable, and the host was absolutely amazing. We loved the kayaks and tooling around on our bikes. We didn’t use the available golf carts, but we will next time we go, and we plan to return. Wonderful experience!

A wonderful experience and gracious host

From start to finish, Christie was warm, friendly and welcoming. The hospitality and communication were off the charts. The private beach view is one of the most amazing views we experienced. Very private and a long stretch of beach to walk along. The place was clean and has everything you need from a basics standpoint. The surroundings were awesome. Lots of fields and nature to explore nearby with the golf cart. Highly recommend and will be back.

A Hidden Gem

Making arrangements was super easy with owner. Makes you feel welcomed and relaxed, available to help make plans for local sight seeing and restaurants. Beautiful yard, perfect beach on the bay. Watch eagles, osprey, herons diving for fish. Almost magical. Cabin was cute and cozy with a picture window to see the bay. Lots of outdoor equioment for activities. Absolutely a place to return. We have stayed many places over the yeara and this is one of ours favorites hands down.

Even Better than the Sunset

This property was amazing. Christi, the host, took us in as though we were her family. We had a blast. The tiny house was cozy for our family of 4. We had plenty of space to relax at night. We had a private beach and enjoyed watching the sunset while having smores on the beach. Christi had everything we needed, and more.

Gem of a Get-A-Way

This was our second visit. This vacation was relaxing, comfortable, and magical - again. Sunsets on the Chesapeake Bay are stunning, and being steps away from the house is so convenient with young children. Christi is the best host, very thoughtful and considerate, and is always so nice to my kids. They love her and talk about her often. If I could come once a month I would!! A very nice retreat after a very very hard year. Thank you, Christi!

Fantastic Views and Hospitality

We had a fabulous stay at the tiny house! The location and the views were amazing. We loved being able to walk right out to the private beach each day. We were able to fish, kayak, paddle board, and ride around the neighborhood in the provided golf cart. Our toddler loved the playground and coy pond in the yard. The description of the tiny house is accurate and we were comfortable inside. The host, Christie, is a genuine and caring person who wants to ensure that you have a memorable stay. She was always available for questions, help, and conversation. She helped us build a fire on the property, spent time helping us try to catch fish, and provided us with a meaningful final night of our trip. If you love the outdoors, perfect views, and fun...you have found the right place!

Peaceful

We had our honeymoon/family vacation at Sandy Hill Sunsets. The whole family had a great time at the beach. We also went to town and enjoyed some shopping and restaurants. My husband caught a stingray which we grilled and ate as well as the crabs caught fresh from the bay. Christi was a very attentive host. She provided all the fishing gear as well as a johnboat or kayak. She was there if we needed anything all we had to do was ask. They were like family we were visiting. I have 2 toddlers that loved to play and run at the beach without worry. Life jackets were available to use. She even had popsicles and bubbles. I plan to go back next year and would reccomend to anyone. Sandy hill sunsets is a safe, relaxing, family destination.

About the host

Hosted by Christi Medice

Host profile image
I am a retired Paramedic and Lieutenant Firefighter for the City of Hampton, VA. I live with my husband, Rick, and our two parrots, Joey and Nikko. I am an outdoors lover and love to fish. We have bon-fires often and just enjoy the evenings and the sound of the waves as they crash along the shore line while looking at the stars above us. We have a fish pond in the yard, but these fish are just for admiring. I love to get around to talk to my neighbors and make sure they are all doing ok. I try to exercise as much as I can by walking on the beach and kayaking. There is a garden in the yard that Rick and I tend to. I love to can the vegetables for the Winter.

So I have been asked how I came up with the name "THELMA'S DAWN". Well, my mother passed away from cancer in 2007. Mom was 68 years old when she was called home. I had a sister, Dawn, who was called home at age 28. She was murdered in January1988. It was fitting to name this beautiful place after the two of them.

I have lived in this home since I was born, except for the 25 years I moved to Hampton, Virginia, in 1985, to take a job as a professional firefighter and went to school to become an Emergency Rescue Diver and Nationally Registered Paramedic. I was diagnosed in 1995 with Multiple Sclerosis, but continued to work in the fire department as an instructor of various Fire, Emergency Medical, Driving, CPR and Water Safety courses. I retired from the fire department in 2006 and moved back to the Eastern Shore, which I have always called my home!

Having MS, I can not enjoy things the way I use to. I love the beach and the water, but due to MS, I cannot stay in the heat long. With this being said, I have felt that this property was being wasted, so I made the decision to renovate a travel trailer that was going to waste and this is how Sandy Hill Sunsets came about! We wanted a tiny house and this made it easy to decide.

Why they chose this property

This property is special in it's own right. There is a private beach and you can have bonfires on the beach and grill hot dogs, make Smore's, fish at night, put a tent up on the beach if you want and just have a great time just being you with no worries about anything. If you want to drink on the beach, you can.

This is a secluded place where you will not have to worry about loud noises, except those created by nature. If you like serenity, you have surely picked the right place!

What makes this property unique

You get to drive a golf cart any where you want to go, of course within reason. The fun part is......There is no charge!!!!!!
