Will be back!
This is our second time staying at this listing and it has inky gotten better! The upgrades in the kitchen are wonderful! The rooms are spacious and the living space is functional and comfortable! The true star of this listing is the back porch and beach! Eating breakfast or the back porch while watching the sun rise is truly magnificent. We never worried about five and six year old becoming overwhelmed in the water. The sand never became too hot to play on which made it even better! You cannot go wrong with this listing!! You will not regret it!!

Great location for views, play, and solitude
Situated at the tip of Ware Neck, the house has commanding views of Monaco Bay and even out into the Chesapeake. A private beach makes it perfect for families. The area is steeped in history as Gloucester has several ‘oldest in Virginia’ claims, plus it’s close enough to Yorktown, Williamsburg, and Jamestown for day trips. Enjoy!

Hidden gem
Tucked back into a lovely spot we came for a wedding near Willamsburg - Mattresses were refreshingly more than comfortable! Dishwasher is not made for that counter, but no biggie, we used paper products. Comfortable, could use some updates, but what rental couldn't truly. Beautiful location would be delightful in the summertime.

Our new FAVORITE, did NOT want to leave!
We fell in love with this property the moment we pulled into the driveway. The house is off a secluded road, with only a few neighbors, who were very friendly; it was EXTREMELY peaceful. The house and porches are beautifully decorated, and laid out perfectly. It was easy for my grandfather to get around, and the perfect space for our 2.5 year old to have a blast. We loved having the yard, and the private beach was just perfect. We definitely took advantage of the kayaks, and life jackets. The house was FULLY stocked: PLENTY of towels, kitchen utensils, etc. My grandfather, my parents, my husband, our daughter, and I came for our end of summer beach trip, and we DEFINITELY did NOT want to leave, it was just the perfect little slice of paradise. We will DEFINITELY be coming back!

We love it so much that we came back!
We stayed here last year for our "Farewell to Summer" Family vacation. Liked it so much, we came back this year. The house and property are easy for my elderly mother to navigate. My children divided their time between the beach/water and tv. I lived on the screen porch. Mom and I had a Girl's Shopping Day in Gloucester. The Silver Box, Up South, Smith's Florist & Gifts, Nurtury. Fun and some great finds. Gourmet food, gifts and post office at Nuttall's. Bulbs at Brent and Becky's. The boys insisted on Bubba's Shrimp Shack, twice. Put our boat in at the Ware House Road Ramp and Mobjack Bay Marina. Beautiful boating and swimming. Didn't catch anything except a huge crab. I like that bathroom and kitchen basics are supplied. (Soap, shampoo, detergent, sponges, foil, cling wrap, paper plates, oils, s&p, etc.) Many rentals no longer supply them. Also, that there are canned goods left by guests. Some came in handy and we left some of ours there . Would like more plates but that's a minor point. The kitchen had everything we could need. Thoroughly enjoyed our visit.

Love, Love, Love this property.
This is our second stay at this property. Just as amazing this time as it was the first time. The house is beautiful, furnishings and decorations are great. Yard is roomy and well kept. The beach area is amazing. We saw eagles and dolphins everyday. Went out on the kayaks and got up close and personal with the dolphins, they swam within a few feet of us. Had some thunderstorms on a couple of nights to give us beautiful light shows. The guys did some fishing, mostly fed the crabs and turtles. But one of our guys took almost an hour to land a Stingray. Removed the hook, did photo ops and released it. It was beautiful. Loved going to the little General Store up the road. Overall the trip was great, the property was great, Ashley was great and can't wait to do it again.

Great place to make new memories
In one word: Amazing! Such a beautiful place in a great area! We loved the proximity to the water and the town of Gloucester. We made lots of memories and everyone in town was so friendly. The home was very comfortable for the five of us - plenty of space to spend time together as well as relax alone. My three teenage boys absolutely loved the kayaks and spending time in the water attempting to catch some crabs. Thank you for opening your home to us and creating such a cozy place to make memories.

Beach peace and tranquility
Very glad we found this property. The home is well appointed and comfortable. The back porch and private beach were where we spent most of our time. The local general store is a must to stop and get some candy or a sandwich. Close to Williamsburg where there’s lots to see and do. The owner was kind and responsive. Would absolutely stay here again.

Perfect Setting
This house is tucked away in a secluded area on the water. Just a few other houses nearby. Exactly our kind of place. We enjoyed the small private beach, complete with crabs, oysters, a horseshoe crab, ospreys and gulls. It is about an hour from Colonial Williamsburg and Jamestown, so that is the trade off for being right on the water, but that was fine for us. Very clean, comfortable and lovely house. Fantastic view from the screened in porch.

Beautiful sunrises, well-equipped kitchen, private beach, and 3 separate bedrooms…the perfect home for our girls’ trip! Yorktown, Jamestown and Williamsburg were all an easy drive away. The wi-fi is medium strength but I was able to check email. For streaming videos it was a bit slow. Who cares when you have such a great river view and so much peace and quiet? The screened porch is THE BEST!
