Waterfront Oasis in Middle of Virginia Eastern Shore Bayside w/pier
WELCOME to our extraordinary property, a privately owned peninsula nestled in the heart of Virginia's Eastern Shore. If you're seeking privacy and seclusion, look no further - you've found your haven. Steeped in local history dating back to 1817, our estate is a treasure trove for those who love artifact hunting, beachcombing, and reconnecting with Mother Nature. Situated on an old estate, our home ensures that you won't be encroaching on your neighbor's space. The surrounding woods and open fields teem with wildlife, from Wild Turkeys and Deer to Foxes and Osprey's and "Eddie the Eagle", creating a truly enchanting experience. As night falls, be prepared to be captivated by a star-studded sky, your nightly companion in this tranquil oasis. Also be sure to check NASA's website at Wallops Island VA for a space launch during your stay. For water enthusiasts, we offer the added perk of FREE USE of 3 Three Person Canoes and 2 Kayaks. Just be sure to treat our gear with care by turning the canoe/kayaak upside down when storing to prevent water intake and stowing away provided life vest and oars. If you lose an oar your responsible for replacement. Your private dock provides easy access to the Chesapeake Bay, offering a serene backdrop for a variety of watersports. The completion of our 2024 renovations makes this the ideal time to BOOK NOW and experience the unique charm of our one-of-a-kind property.

The only thing I could say that isn’t positive is that it doesn’t sleep 6 comfortably or with privacy. Randy was a great host and its a beautiful location.
The property was secluded and relaxing. If you wanted to be active, there are opportunities on the water, or on the land. Great place to relax and enjoy nature. The house is full of interesting collectibles. The host was very helpful and attentive to guest needs.
We had an absolute blast over Memorial Day weekend! The house was the perfect getaway — peaceful, relaxing, and full of little adventures. The pier was a highlight for us. We caught 3 stingrays, 2 eels, fish, crab, and even oysters — such a fun variety that kept us on our toes!It was also such a treat to bring our dogs along and include our fur family in the fun. We enjoyed dinner every night in the screened-in patio and sipped coffee each morning on the upstairs deck — just the kind of relaxing time we needed.Conveniently located too — Walmart was only about 20 minutes away for anything we needed. We’ll definitely be back again!Great host- endured we were taken care of!
A Peaceful Escape by the Water – Just What You Need
Had a wonderful, peaceful vacation right on the waterfront. The location was perfect, offering great views and direct access to the water. We had a lot of fun crabbing and fishing off the dock. Having access to kayaks and canoes was a fantastic bonus that made our stay even more enjoyable. The owner, Randy, was very helpful and always available to answer our questions. Overall, it was a great experience, and we truly enjoyed it.
Rockin Rando is so helpful and communicative. So many tips to have a great stay. My only sad part is we were gone from the house to much and i could have just stayed there and enjoyed nature!
We enjoyed our stay. There was plenty of activities, crabbing was fun, fishing was great as well. Like any other place in America bring sunscreen and bug spray. It wasnt bad just enough to warrant protection. Great outdoor activities and will not have time to do everything. We will be returning next year to continue our adventures.
We really enjoyed our stay! We spent a lot of time on the screened-in porch and on the dock. Caught lots of crabs, harvested some oysters and had some great meals with them. Access to the water was our prime reason for renting and this place did not disappoint! It is roomy, beds are comfortable, kitchen is well stocked with quality cookware. If you're a bug magnet like me, be sure to use spray—even on the porch—those "No see-ems" are ferocious! Owner is a good guy who seems to really want his place to be enjoyable for his renters—communication was great!
My husband and I wanted a quiet get-away for a few days to unplug and relax. This property is the perfect place for that! It is a beautiful.setting - we took advantage of the canoes and even went crabbing. It rained one day so we decided to drive into town (15min) to visit a lovely antique mall. Perhaps we were inspired by all of the wonderful antiques which decorate this house! Randy (the owner) is very accommodating and responsive to the questions we had. The T.V. reception is questionable at times, but there are many movies available on DVD. We enjoyed the huge screened in back porch and sitting on the dock watching the osprey (never did see the eagle but we saw his nest). Overall, we enjoyed our stay.
This was exactly what I was looking for. The Property is very private and the yard surrounding the house was huge. I found it comfortable and cozy. Randy was very accommodating and asked that you respected his property and clean up after yourself and your pets which is to be expected were I come from, a small ask. He had plenty to offer. The private dock and water access was perfect and being able to us his canoes and kayaks was a very nice extra. One of my favorite things was the very large screened in porch and a large outside shower to clean up. The second-floor bedrooms and bathroom were also very nice. We loved the decor and the antique bottle collection throughout the house. Pretty neat stuff. Randy was easy to contact and very helpful. This is a great place for a family get away and we will be back. Thanks for having us!

We had fun crabbing off the dock. Using the canoes was a good way to pass the time. Kids had a blast. I will say there is not 3 bedrooms. Upstairs there is one official bedroom. The second bed is in an open area at the top of the stairs. The 3rd bedroom is just the pull out sofa in the livingroom. It was fine for us with just two kids who shared a bed but if other couples are going that would be nice to know. We had originally booked this place because it had a boat ramp. Upon booking and speaking with the owner I was informed that our boat could not go out from his ramp and we had to still drive to a local ramp. Which was not far but again that was the main reason for booking this house. His ramp is more for just the canoes and jet skis. Also the dock pictured in listing where the boys are crabbing is not his dock. It is the neighbors dock....which is another reason why we had thought we could put our boat out there. If you are looking for a very secluded place to stay this is a great place. We enjoyed the quiet for sure.

Seclusion was great, property was not welcoming
This property's seclusion is excellent. There is a lot of wildlife on land and water. However, as the owner will state, this property is not right for everyone. Read the reviews. The reviews do not cover what I am listing below. I debated not even rating it.
Things not described in the listing:
1) External cameras everywhere. They are very overt and make you feel uncomfortable. I do see a need for some sort of camera system. This was an overkill.
2) Yes, there is Wi-Fi, but good luck with it. It is hit or miss. Due to signal strength, I believe it is located elsewhere on the property. This was very spotty. Yes, we wanted seclusion but ensure you download all your books and content before you show up.
2) Ants on the countertops and built-in dining table. The ants were present on arrival, and filled traps were found in both locations.
3) Ensure you read the rule book and rules on the refrigerator. This is where you will learn that trash needs to be taken with you, how to properly use the shower, and other tips for the property.
4) Be prepared for the unique features of this property. It's a converted garage or boathouse, which we could tell from the start. However, it's a handyman's special with exposed wires, a light fixture hanging open in the kitchen, and missing or dislodged baseboard moldings. Also, please be careful on the upper deck as some boards are rotted through, and there is a possibility of falling through.
Recommend updating photos.
Rockin rando was a awesome hoast very accommodating and was always available to answer any questions we had. The property was beautiful and the house was very cozy if you like fishing and crabbing this is your spot you will catch dinner. My little family had a awesome time and are booking again next summer.
Great location right on the water. Access to kayaks and canoes was a great addition to this booking. Nice dock m and good for crabbing and fishing. Randy was also easily available to answer questions
Perfect to get away from it all. Nice house with everything needed for stay plus many antiques as decorations. Beautiful Bay views and equipment for all types of activities. Randy is a very accommodating host!
We had an amazing time.
