Relaxing Private Riverfront Retreat with Beach and Private Dock

We have named our house “Rivah Retreat” as your worries and stresses are left behind once you arrive and take in the river and all of nature’s beauty is nothing short of serenity! You will hear the locals and those visiting the Northern Neck Region say they are heading to the “Rivah” when they refer to this beautiful area. We hope you love this place every bit as much as we do!

The house is located in the Sandy Harbor community in Kinsale. The waterfront is located on White Point Creek which is a protected cove great for kayaking and paddle boarding. The cove is minutes away from Yecomico and Potomac Rivers, making it a boater’s and fishers paradise. Something for everyone! We provide three kayaks and one paddleboard and life jackets. While you are down at the dock we include eight beach chairs for relaxing by the water. We have a little beach area for relaxing, playing in the sand, or accessing the water.

When you are done enjoying all of the beauty of the water you can have a relaxing dinner and beverage on the oversized deck, relax by the indoor or outdoor fire. So many options to choose and the privacy away from any neighbors.

Inside you will find many amenities to make your stay relaxing including a fully equipped kitchen including extra’s like starter coffee, panni maker and crockpot.

There’s also a half bathroom off the kitchen.

My husband and I stayed with our three young daughters and it was absolutely wonderful!! The house is lovely, clean and so comfortable and has everything you need. We loved playing all the games that are provided. And the location is completely peaceful and quiet. It was so fun to fish off the dock. We hadn’t even left and my kids were asking when we could come back!

Peaceful and serene location in a quiet neighborhood. Kitchen is probably the best & most well stocked we've ever seen in a rental. Everything you need, the kitchen has it. Propane grill was easy to use. House has plenty of space to spread out and relax. Plenty of board games if you just want to stay inside. If you like beer, go and check out Callao Brewing Co... a short drive. We will be back!

Wonderful stay

Property was everything we wanted for a get away. House was very well appointed and had everything we needed. Water was refreshing until the jellyfish decided to pay us a visit. Neighborhood was so quiet. We took morning and evening walks with our dog and she loved it. Saw the occasional deer and rabbit.Kathy was so easy to communicate with. Can't wait to come back!

Family trip

We enjoyed our stay. Plenty to do right at the house. Kayaking was the best part! Unfortunately we couldn't get in the water due to the jelly fish. Our best surprise was our visit to a near by winery called Hague! Yummy wines and good conversation with the owner Steve.

A great Thanksgiving at the river retreat!

We enjoyed a perfect stay. The house is as described, very cozy and quiet with everything you need for cooking, to relax, play, walk, etc. We also appreciated a lot the fire pit and the chimney as it was very cold. There's plenty activities and nice towns around.

Great Family/Friend Vacation

We absolutely loved our vacation in Kinsale on the water. The kids loved the swimming, fishing and making smores! The bedrooms were spacious and plenty of extra blankets. Warm water does take awhile when showering and it would have been nice to have the option for curtains on the doors and windows for night time. Other than that, we had a great time.

Fantastic Property

Our party consisted of six adults. The home was extremely clean and felt brand new. The Showers had built-in dispensers for shampoo, conditioner, and body wash and the towels included were high-end. The kitchen Had every amenity you could hope for. It felt like cooking in our own home. We enjoyed the water view from the deck and had coffee there every morning. There are umbrellas to block the sun, so you can enjoy the deck And the view of the water all day. We really enjoyed all of the games, puzzles, and outdoor activities like cornhole and ping-pong that were included. The kayaks were easy to access as well as the life vests. Overall, it was a fantastic stay!

Great stay. Very relaxing and location rich in history

Great place for some family quiet time. We rode our bikes a few miles up the ride where George Washington’s parents met. Went kayaking out in the cove. And we loved the fire pit at night. 2 of the 3 bikes in the shed had flat tires, but we brought our own so for use it wasn’t a big deal. My boys loved watching NCAA championship game on the HUGE TV in the master bedroom

Well appointed spacious home

House is beautiful. Plenty of room both inside and out for the 4 adults 2 kiddos and 2 furry kiddos. Honestly the only complaint is the lack of a decent broom and a mop. The driveway and some surrounding areas are sandy making it difficult to keep the beautiful dark hardwood floors clean throughout our stay. The fire pit was a big hit and plenty of fire wood to keep us entertained. The dock was a plus. Ample parking for 2 SUVs and a full size truck with a 24' boat.
