Chesapeake Bay Beachfront Retreat

Get away from it all on Henry's Island, offering alluring privacy and breathtaking views of the Chesapeake Bay. Enjoy the 5-acre Bay-front home whose private sandy beach includes unique Northern Neck sand dunes. Swim, crab, fish, or use provided canoe, kayak, or paddle board to explore the water. Relax on lounge chairs with a frosty drink (margarita machine included). Take in the Bay breeze while reading a book or sleeping on the beach. The open floor plan and 9 ft. ceilings provide a spectacular view to watch bald eagles, osprey, and heron without leaving the beautifully furnished house. Dine inside overlooking the Bay or eat outside on the patio set after using the gas grill. Three king bedrooms (including two master suites), a bunk room, and a separate playroom make it comfortable and fun for adults and kids alike.


Something for Everyone: Tour one of historic Northern Neck's 19 museums, golf, or sip Virginia's finest wines on the Chesapeake Bay Wine Trail. Sail, shop or dine in award-winning restaurants nearby. Enjoy an easy drive to historic Williamsburg, Busch Gardens, and Water Country USA.

My review may be totally different than another guest. The communication was poor resulting in a situation that made us look bad when the request of the family pet was overlooked once sending the dates of booking thinking after the conversation the fee was added to final payment due but on our part assuming the fee was added like other places we stay through the year and here before. This resulted in having to send a screenshot of the conversation through the Vrbo inbox to prove "family pet welcomed with a fee" with no acknowledgement of the overlook. The Air conditioner stopped working one morning and we were told we could drive to the store to get fans and close the curtains. This also happened when we stayed there yrs ago. The gentleman that came out the next day apparently was out a month prior for the same reason. The hard wired smoke alarm went off our last night from 9:30 pm to 4 am. No batteries in the house and no answer to email and text until hrs later I googled what to do to stop a hard wired alarm! This was our last night so maybe lifting the sheet brought from home for the dog caused hair after cleaning the night prior. With no sleep we were in a hurry and time was approaching. What we were accused of is why I am writing a review. I never sent a text about the dirty dishes in the cabinet, dust, sand,toys and a few cards under the sofa when we had to retrieve something. Or that there was no propane for the grill and that was dirty. Maybe a different crew.

This was our third trip to this house.....we love the location, it is private and picturesque...we got to see the bald eagles again!!!!!! WE love the 30 second walk to the beach and the calm water of the bay! The local environment is also beautiful...especially the towns of White Stone and Kilmarnock and the local marinas. The home is beautiful. WE hope to return!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property. It is a lovely home with beautiful views and ample space for a large group. The house was clean and well stocked with necessities. The property manager was flexible and responsive. We loved the beach and had great fun swimming, kayaking, canoeing and paddle boarding. We are big fans of the northern neck area and nearby Irvington, White Stone and Kilmarnock for their restaurants, shops and events. We highly recommend this home for a family vacation!

A Wonderful Family Getaway — Already Booked for Next Year!We’ve been coming to this area for 25 years, and with our growing family, we were thrilled to find a home that could comfortably accommodate us, our daughter and son-in-law, and our granddaughter — with a second granddaughter on the way!This house was everything we hoped for and more. The beach access is perfect for young children, with calm, shallow water that feels safe and relaxing. Inside, the home is spacious, the beds are comfortable, and the living room has plenty of seating for everyone. The kitchen is well-stocked with plenty of plates and silverware, and the internet worked great throughout our stay. We also loved the outdoor seating and the extra touches like the canoe and paddle board! The home and setting are even more beautiful and welcoming in person.We were also so impressed to see that past guest suggestions (like adding bedside tables, a dresser in the bunk room, and additional outdoor seating) have already been addressed. It really shows how considerate and responsive the owners are to their renters, which made us feel even more at home.A few small suggestions that would make the stay even more enjoyable:•The outdoor shower didn’t drain, which made it difficult to use.•lamps on the bedside tables would have been nice and there were multiple light bulbs out throughout the house.Definitely not negative comments but ideas to make a great home better. Thank you for sharing your lovely

Dream Property

This property is absolutely amazing. The listing and pictures do not do it justice. The home is much larger than the posting makes it seem and the private beach is absolutely perfect. The shallow and calm waters were perfect for my children who enjoyed the water from sun up until sun down. There was an issue (that really was a non issue) that the owner of the property communicated to us prior to arrival. Although it was really a non- issue, the communication was appreciated. We were so pleased with the location of this property and everything that was provided along with it that we will hopefully return next year for a longer period of time! Thank you so much for allowing us to be your guests.

Cant say enough about the views from this property and the feeling as though you have the bay all to yourself! Kitchen was perfect and there was plenty of room for the 8 of us (4 adults and 4 teens) to eat and cook and hang out and play games and just be together! We took the opportunity to spend a day in Kilmarnock (VERY close) with great shops and great grocery store (Tri-Star for the win) and you've GOT to try Small Town Burger for the best smashburger in the Northern Neck...and this is coming from a guy who loved NNK Burger before they burned down! While it in no way detracts from the place at all...the mosquitos and horseflies there are no joke, be prepared to go to battle with them!

5th year - great family vacation

We have rented this house for the last 5 years. Cleanliness has always been a little patchy but this year the house had not been cleaned at all when we arrived, the laundry was done but bathrooms, kitchen and all floors were obviously not touched. It was not pleasant to walk into a vacation house and find other people’s waste. However, I want to say - I contacted Dianne and she responded quickly, apologized and refunded our cleaning fee. I know it’s difficult for owners to know what the cleaning company is actually doing, they can’t be there every week to check on things. This is a great house in a beautiful, private location. We love going there with our family - it’s perfect for our young grandsons. Once issues with cleaning company are ironed out it will be a 5 star property for sure.

In our own little world!

The location and the size of this house are amazing! It fit all 12 of us easily. We were able to see the water from every window and the walk out to the beach was so simple! I could even hear the kids playing in the water from my room! There are some tree stumps sticking up on the beach, so walk with caution! The water was perfect for all our young swimmers and our big fishermen! The flies were biting when we got there and Diane was so kind to quickly send us some fly bags! She was extremely helpful and responsive to all our needs! Only suggestion would be an update of some of the kitchen stuff - pans, spoons and cereal bowls for the kids. But so minor while you are enjoying this beautiful place! My dad even asked when we are coming back!

3 generations family vacation

We enjoyed the views looking across the bay, spacious and well-equipped kitchen, shallow water out to breakwater and upstairs play area. Saw bald eagles, great blue herons, deer, raccoon and rabbits. Sunrises are awesome. Bedrooms very comfortable. Our adult children and the grandchildren enjoyed the paddleboard and kayak. I, grandpa, was happy to sit on the porch, watch the other generations having a great time together, and enjoy my glass of wine. Recommend an early morning trip to Chesapeake Doughnut Company in White Stone for a selection of fresh baked doughnuts for your crew to enjoy. We took turns preparing and serving meals and everyone loved the kitchen and dining areas.

Perfect family get away!

This property is perfect for families with young children. It allows everyone to relax! Beach is perfect for young kids to enjoy safely and parents to breathe and relax! Water is calm and shallow enough to enjoy without worry! My four year old grandson said it was like having a huge pool! Diane was a great hostess and communicator! Only negative is cleaning staff…had to fold all the towels from previous renters, but honestly I tell you this so the property owners are aware…did not affect our wonderful time! This is a true gem of a place!

Cleanliness and locations

The house was beautiful and the location was perfect. The house definitely needs a deep cleaning and the cleaning service that the owner uses needs to be stepped up for the cleaning time between tenants. There were a couple of complaints and the owner did refund a small amount of the rental fee.
