Open kitchen to living room was great for hanging out, watching sports, and catching wonderful views of the outdoors. We loved the upper deck later in the afternoon, as well as the fire pit in the back yard. About a 10 min drive into town for food (Blue Crab) or groceries. All in all, a wonderful VRBO and owner. ##### Brian W.

There was plenty of space for 11 people. The home is very remote, with incredible and peaceful views of the river and nature, and silence at night! Being remote does add time for outings, so it is helpful to plan ahead. The kayaks and swimming in the river were fun, but a little tricky to get off the dock because of the low tide mud :) The fire pit was great! Would highly recommend this home and the host was very responsive to any questions we had during our stay. Thank you for a great summer vacation! ##### molly k.

In addition to the beautiful riverfront location, the property itself is very private. The kitchen and bathrooms were well stocked. There were plenty of games and activities for both children and adults. We spent time at the house fishing, swimming, kayaking, playing games and eating S’mores. We also visited Williamsburg, Yorktown, Jamestown and Busch Gardens. The office was a quiet space for one of our party, who had to work during the week. The kids’/bunk room was a big hit! The owner was very responsive to questions, but was not at all intrusive. I highly recommend this property as well as its owners! ##### Windy B.

Housekeeping: No soap and caretaker had to come find. Dirty coffee pot of cold coffee left by maids. TV system a mystery. Remedy: - Other VRBOs have little kits for each bathroom with FRESH shampoo, shower gel, etc. Highly recommend that rather than half empty shampoo bottles in the bathrooms. Also - other VRBOs have a frame with very specific TV instructions and wifi next to each TV. That would have been helpful. HOWEVER - the worst issue was that this house had a ladybug infestation! While the caretaker did come and clean out the light in living room, more appeared the next day in showers, on kitchen table, etc. This is a river property, but somehow these eggs were laid and hatched during our visit! Again - very nice & responsive host, but these things need to be fixed to be up to usual VRBO standards. ##### Susan S.

Communication with Ruby was perfect from beginning to end; she replies very promptly, answers every question one might have, and is flexible. This was our twelfth summer get-together for family, and our ages range from 13 to 83\. Once we had found and admired our various comfortable rooms--and the bunk room is indeed a knockout; one of my sons said "Holy smoke!" when he saw it--it was time to explore the river with kayaks and tubes, as well as swimming, and there was even some swimming at night. The very well-stocked kitchen helped us make delicious meals, including empanadas! We did jigsaw puzzles (and were delighted to have a rental with an extra table large enough for them), played games, read, and found fun things to do everywhere: ping pong and a video game in the garage; basketball, soccer, etc. outside; a little library to choose from; and general lounging and relaxing at both the upper and lower decks as one approaches the river, and the one at the house. We're not fishermen, but the guest books give good testimony to the many fish caught in the river. I was asked more than once, "How did you find this place?" I'm so glad I did, and I do hope anyone reading this will find it, too, and enjoy it every bit as much as we did! One note: we enjoyed the Blue Crab restaurant, but its vegetarian options are limited. ##### Jean H.

Our checkin time was great and location was ideal. My brothers enjoyed fishing and capturing the sunrises and sunsets were beautiful. Our date for this annual event is October and we would love to come back. I had two concerns regarding the property the cleanest of the kitchen and the unsteady bannister going upstair. Overall our stay was a pleasant one. Thanks so much for having us. ##### Amanda B.

Owners thought of everything a family could want for recreation. Unbelievable views and sunrises. Great swimming off the dock and loved the kayaks. A week wasn't even enough to do everything as much as we'd have liked (had some rain and storms). Were we ever happy there was a generator too - twice our power went out and we just continued on with all of our activities. Owners were very accessible. Highly recommend. ##### Paula E.
