Family Get Away
Our family of 5 recently enjoyed a weekend at this lovely cottage. The views are gorgeous!! The kitchen, dining area and living room all overlook the water. We enjoyed playing games and eating meals all while enjoying the views. The cottage had many nice amenities, and the owners were very accommodating. Close to Yorktown and grocery stores. It was the perfect getaway!

Quick Get Away
Decided at the last minute to check out Yorktown, VA for our anniversary. We needed a place that allowed dogs and I always love to get away to a place with water. This property had both. The home was very rustic, had great views, and comfy. For a quick trip, this was great.

RELAXING
We had a very enjoyable stay. Peaceful, quiet, tranquil. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Met with longtime friends for a getaway. The place isn't fancy, but we weren't looking for fancy, just a quiet hideout. Would stay again.

Wonderful views and an enchanting cottage
This is a peaceful, beautiful costal Virginia home that I hope will never change. If you are looking to get away from the modern day stress and hectic life-style, then this is your place to relax and enjoy the scenery. The cottage is in a great location close to the Historic Area of Virginia. We visited Jamestown, Yorktown and Williamsburg. My 15 year old son said he would always remember this special place and that says it all!

Pets allowed is important
The cottage was clean and comfortable, as were the beds. My friend and our respective pups had a nice walk down to the main house/pier and around the small island. The high tides made coming and going over the wooden bridge a little dicey but it didn't present a problem. Communication with the host was a breeze even though they were out of town at the time. Watching the herons and egrets in the marshes was an additional treat. I'd highly recommend the cottage and the location.
