Cute White Stone water house

The house was perfect for me, my husband and dog! We enjoyed being so close to the water. Its close enough to town but far enough way to feel secluded.

Quiet Getaway

It was a nice get away for our wedding anniversary. We were able to bring our dogs and use the private strip of beach a couple of cottages away. This was a great quiet trip. The only thing that could have been better is the AC in the cottage. A window unit is provided but with 90 temps it couldn’t keep up.

Best View on the Bay

This was the most amazing weekend we have had at a VRBO property! The location is absolutely unbeatable and the cottage is brimming with character and ambiance. We loved every minute of our stay and will definitely return. This property is a gem and we feel so blessed to have found this listing.

Great location, lots of charm

We booked this for an anniversary trip, and the owner was wonderful. The location was amazing, too. The house is dated but full of charm. The bed and couch were comfortable, and the view from every window was amazing. The only negatives have nothing to do with the house and the obscene fees attached to it. But that is the service, not the house. We would 100% stay here again down the road.

Location location location

We absolutely loved the view from this home. It is close to downtown Kilmarnok which is such a fun little town- great boutiques and restaurants (even a popcorn place which was amazing). We used the firepit in the back yard and spent hours watching the bay- there is a set of binoculars in the house which was fun.The house is eclectic- it is the old style cinderblock beach house that you see in OBX and other beach towns. There is a lot of things to see inside the house- not a space was left without something. I was still seeing new things up to the last day.The nature of being a house from the 50's means there are some things that are just... different.But did I mention the views? That really made it worth it.

Nightmare With Beautiful View

Drove up to property that had junk on it, along with very uneven grounds.. Trip hazards. Not enough lighting at night outside. And then inside, first thing we encountered was nats. Also ants all over kitchen sink. We love the view.

Great view

The cottage is very old and out dated. Needs many upgrades. There is only one widow AC unit so the bedrooms are very hot and uncomfortable at night the living room has one couch and a dining room table so very cramped. There is no beach access even if you walk the 3 houses down as instructed there still is no beach access. But the view from out back is amazing especially in the morning.

The property is a quaint cottage that sits right on the Chesapeake Bay. The amenities are simple but adequate and comfortable (don't expect high-end luxury, though). The owner and property manager were very attentive and a pleasure to work with. The only issue we had was unrelated to the house; a big Nor'Easter resulted in storm surge that caused the Chesapeake to overflow the seawall and flood the waterfront neighborhood, including the property. Absent that, it would have been the perfect getaway weekend.

Simple and Relaxing Getaway

The interior of the property looked like the listing but the exterior of the property could use some upkeep. The owner of the property was very responsive and helpful with any questions we had during our stay. The place was quaint and the view was breathtaking. It had everything we need for a simple and relaxing weekend away. The fire pit was perfect for making s'mores and staying warm on the cool nights.

Great location, little house

The location is amazing! The sound of the waves while sitting on the back porch, the gazebo, or the front yard is amazing. This house is quite small, which was fine for the two of us. It is pretty rustic, but fine for us. All and all we had a good time!

Pleasantly surprised

I was honestly a little nervous when I read some of these negative reviews before my trip, but I was pleasantly surprised when I arrived. The cottage is definitely in need of some TLC, but it was clean, functional and comfortable. I had an amazing time! Perfect for someone who doesn’t mind a quaint place with a few blemishes.
