About this property

Sail in! Paddle out! Dog-friendly 500' serene waterfront near Chesapeake Bay

Located at the cross-section of the Oyster and Wine Trails that wind through Virginia's historic Northern Neck, our serene rustic waterfront retreat offers you modern amenities and dog friendly convenience in a spectacular natural setting, just steps to the water and private pier.

A well-appointed four bedroom / two bathroom cottage becomes a boater's and paddler's paradise with 500ft of protected waterfront and quick access to the Rappahannock and Corrotoman Rivers, and the Chesapeake Bay. All year long, take advantage of our 150' long private pier and full service Yankee Point Marina, only two minutes away via car or power boat. Kayak, canoe or enjoy our new standup paddleboards in the spring and summer. In the fall and winter, cozy up to the fireplace in the cottage after a day of boating, fishing or exploring area antiquities.

The Robin's Nest in Oyster Cove is only about an hour from Richmond and a little more than two hours from DC. The beautiful drive will take you through the lovely Virginia countryside and by a few of the country’s most historic landmarks. It's close enough for a romantic getaway or a longer family vacation.

Great Location
Group of old guys fishing for a week. Very secluded location and if you bring a boat Yankee Point Marina is just a few minutes by water away. Plenty of room for 6 guys. Kitchen is better stocked with pots and every imaginable gadget than most people's home kitchens.

Amazing
My family and I loved this place. We barely left the property. Pretty secluded. Could not swim due to jelly fish but we fished, canoed and kayak. Honestly just enjoyed spending time together as a family. We did go to Tangier Island (do not recommend) but the boat ride was amazing. We saw dolphins. Thank you for opening up your home to our family including our 2 dogs

Couldn't be better- look no further!
This was our annual family vacation- myself, my husband, my two college-aged daughters, and our 10-month-old Corgi puppy. The house has all high-end amenities- everything we could possibly have wanted. We kayaked, paddle-boarded, and canoed every day because it was so effortless having the river as our backyard with the dock right there. We woke up at 0330 one night and watched the Perseid Meteor Showers with no lights to diminish it. Penelope responded incredibly quickly to the few questions we had and their welcome letter doubled as a very thorough tour guide to local restaurants and attractions. We highly recommend 'The Office Bistro' in Irvington for dinner, and 'Country Cottage' in Whitestone for ice cream!

Coming Home
I grew up in Richmond, VA and spent many of my summers around the Chesapeake Bay boating, fishing, crabbing and camping. I live in Kentucky now and have three young boys (ages 11, 9, and 4). For years I have been wanting to take them and our older yellow lab to the bay area so they can enjoy the same experiences I did. This is the PERFECT location for some down time and to get away from technology and the screens. My parents and older brother and his wife also came from Richmond to spend some relaxing time with us. Everyone kept talking about how wonderful the place was. The location is quiet but close enough to go to Kilmarnock. The ferry helps make the trip shorter. We are eagerly looking forward to our next trip!

Wonderful Family Vacation
Fantastic water views from the well taken care of dock, and from the large windows in the great room and the master bedroom. Especially enjoyed watching the Great Blue Herons and the Bald Eagles. Very private, and quiet. We had no worries that our dogs would bother any neighbors( or that neighbors would bother us!) The house is beautiful. It has a well equipped kitchen, rooms supplied with plenty of towels and linens. Property includes kayaks, stand up paddle boards, and a canoe. We had a wonderful time paddling right from the property past the Yankee Point Marina. There were four adults, and our seven year old granddaughter. It was delightful to watch her and her Grampy baiting strings with chicken and catching blue crabs all week long. She released bucket fulls of them back into the water, and started all over again! She paddled her kayak with us everyday. Family games in the closet, granddaughter discovered “Charades” and became quite good at it! All agreed, it was the best family vacation ever!
