Renovated River House l Private Beach and Dock l Unforgettable Views<br>


Fully Renovated River House
Welcome to Sunrise View, a truly amazing place to relax and enjoy the River! Unwind and put your feet in the sand while you feel the coastal breeze in your hair. You could not be any closer to the water at this house! We sit on a peninsula where the house was built on pillars just feet from the water. You would swear you were on the beach relaxing in the sand that extends out into the river!

The House:

1600 square foot house. It is built on piers that sit 15 feet in the air. We have a massive screened-in wrap around porch with tons of seating. The kitchen is completely stocked with all cookware you need to prepare any meal.

The master opens to the deck, making it convenient to step outside with a cup of coffee to watch the sunrise over the river.

Master: 1 King

Guest 1: 1 King

Guest 2: 1 Queen, 1 Full (trundle bed)

Outside:

Enjoy a private 175 foot pier for fishing or relaxing. Bring your boat or jet ski, because we have a private boat ramp for smaller boats ( check dimensions to make sure it fits under the house). There is also a marina that is 10 minutes away if you have a larger boat to launch and tie off to our 150 foot dock.

We have a gas grill and two tables to enjoy a riverfront dinner. Because the house it built on pillars, you have 1000 square feet of covered space underneath to relax. This makes it easy to beat the heat while outside having fun. Once you are done playing in the water, wash off in our outdoor shower that has hot and cold water.

Games, Toys, & Other Amenities:

Provided for your enjoyment are 2 stand up paddle boards, fishing rods, crabbing equipment, 2 kayaks (with kid and adult fitting life vests), small kid sized boogey boards and lots of kid’s beach toys. In addition, we provide a corn hole set and jumbo sized Jenga.

Our Town:

Tappahannock is one of the hidden jewels of Virginia. Come find out why retirees and sport enthusiasts flock to our area! Enjoy shopping or dinner out at several award-winning restaurants.

You have not lived until you have had a burger and shake from award winning NN Burger! If restaurants are not your thing then try your hand and catching your dinner from our dock or pick something up from Food Lion or Walmart, both are 5 minutes from our house.

For those that enjoy a game of golf, bring your clubs and book a tee time at the #6 best golf course in Virginia, Hobb’s Hole is just 8 minutes away.

You can also experience 10 award winning wineries on the Chesapeake Bay Wine Trail (by charter boat or a short drive), just minutes from our home, or find out how fresh seafood really taste on the Virginia Oyster Trail. Plan an excursion to the birthplace of Robert E. Lee or George Washington, both a short drive away on the opposite side of the river.

Security Cameras:

We have Ring cameras only on the front and back of the house for your protection and ours. There are no cameras inside the house, under the raised house or on the covered porch.

Beautiful sunrises
My family and I stayed for a week over Christmas 2023. It’s among the nicest rentals we’ve experienced. It’s very clean. The kitchen is well stocked and the beds, pillows and sheets are more comfortable than most rentals. The owner texted us with instructions and check in and out worked very smoothly. Highly recommend!

Relaxing and lots of fun
The house was clean and roomy. We were a little taken back at first pulling up to the property because high tide was in and the front road was covered with water. The road had water on it the entire time we stayed. But the house and pier are excellent! The screened porch was awesome. We ate meals there and enjoyed the view. We caught a 16 inch catfish, a 10.5 inch croaker, lots of small spot, (we used nightcrawlers), 28 keeper crabs, & caught a lot of small crabs which was fun for our 19 month old. The little one loved the beachfront, we brought our beach umbrella for shade. The water toys, water table, hammocks and swings were great! The pier is excellent and watching the sunrise is phenomenal! Saw a bald eagle swoop down catching fish, blue heron, little snapping turtle, little sand crabs, and lots of birds. We had a great family vacation here! Flies do get bad at times and not a lot to do in town. But if you want to relax, fish, kayak, paddleboard and play in the sand this is the place!

Beautiful place, but beware of jellyfish
We stayed with three generations for a week. The house is very comfortable and we spent most of our time on the beach, dock, or screened in porch. We had a great time catching lots of different fish and blue crab. The kids loved playing in the sand and there were lots of toys for the kids to play with. However one thing I want to make people aware of that I did not know, was the jellyfish problem, at least at that time of year. I’ve never seen so many jellyfish. There would be many washed up on the beach each morning and so many swimming around constantly. You could hardly look around without seeing them swimming by. Even in only shin deep water, our daughter was stung twice. So, that really ruined any of our plans for swimming in the water. Just check on that if that is what you are planning. Overall, we had a wonderful experience and the host was very responsive to fix a few small issues when we arrived. The city of tappahannock and warsaw had lots of delicious restaurants.

Rappahannock River Rapture!
Our 3-generation family (grandparents, parents, and boys aged 8, 6, 2) had a wonderful week. The boys couldn't get enough of the sandy beach, swimming, and play. They spent hours each day with all the amazing beach toys and floats generously provided. They also loved accompanying adults on the kayaks and watching them brave the paddle boards. The pier was fabulous for walking; watching ospreys, seagulls, cranes, and meteors; and jumping into the water with adults waiting below. Having a ladder to climb back up onto the pier would have been even better. The expansive porch was unparalleled for relaxing, reading, dining, and playing. The well-equipped kitchen and gas grill met every expectation for our resident personal chef. All the outdoor recreational amenities, along with the first-level wonderfully shaded picnic and sitting area, ensured a full day and good night's sleep for all in the very comfortable sleeping accommodations. We were all totally enraptured by our Rappahannock River stay, especially due to the beautiful sandy beach, the great weather, including a couple of nice storms, and helping the boys learn about the changing tides. Would love to return!

Good rental for adults and children
Good rental for adults and children. Pleasant vacation. House was a perfect fit for our family. Dock/pier was a great bonus. A couple days, there was a lot of jellyfish, but the kids (and adults) thought it was great to see how many they could catch while in the kayaks. Very quiet and rural area.
