Private Waterfront Retreat: Dock, Kayaks & Firepit - Near Kilmarnock & Tides Inn

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.
