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.

The perfect place for us

This was the second year in a row we have stayed here, and we absolutely loved it! The house was clean and smelled so fresh when we arrived, and the location is so beautiful. We really enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere, and the fishing was fantastic. Diane is a wonderful host, and we hope to stay here again in the future!

Relaxing weekend getaway

Perfect weekend getaway for our family! The views were spectacular and the water was lovely. With young kids, I especially loved how shallow the water was all the way out to the rock barriers. We even saw 2 pods of dolphins our last morning there. Highly recommend this house!

Great getaway, wonderful home

Love our stay here. We came for an impromptu trip and the owner was very attentive and the house is very well stocked with supplies. Our 5 and 8 year old enjoyed the kayak, paddle board, and Canoe. The location is perfect. Your own little private beach and the house is wonderful. Pet friendly too! We hope to come back!

Relaxing and beautiful

We thoroughly enjoyed our week, from relaxing on the porch watching the Dolphins, other wildlife and the ships go by to swimming, canoeing, and sitting on the beach. House was beautiful and comfortable and nearby towns nice to visit. Only problem was the week went by too fast.

Beautiful house, peaceful location

We spent a week in August at this beautiful waterfront home. The indoor space was fantastic, comfortably accommodating our group (a few adult couples and kids). The location is quiet and private, with only the neighbors to the left visible from the house. The beach and water were very pleasant. Highly recommended.

Wonderful beach weekend

We loved our stay at this property. Just walk a few steps through the frontal dune and you are on your own private beach. The water was beautiful and clear and absolutely delighted our 4 and 5 year old kids. The house is big, with two master suites. Owners were very helpful. We hope to be back.

Great family fun

This property was perfect for our family including , adults and young grandchildren. The water was warm and shallow and the grandchildren had a great time. The adults used the canoe and kyack and paddle board. We could all eat together at the large table and enjoyed the privacy of our own beach. Very relaxing and enjoyable.

Whitestone Stay

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!
