House was perfect for our needs! The extra kitchen cane in handy for Thanksgiving prep. The views were even more breathtaking than the pictures. Will absolutely look forward to renting again. Thank you!
We had a great stay and want to go back again. The water views are fabulous! We enjoyed using the kayaks and it was fun to ride the ferry. The unexpected nice bonus was that there are doors separating the dining and living room area and hall which was great to keep our 1 1/2 yr old grandson in one room. We brought a gate for the kitchen which worked out great. The only reason I gave a 4 star rating is because the pots and pans non stick surface was very scratched and peeling so we didnât feel they were safe to use. Thankfully we brought our own frying pan and large pot.The owner was very responsive when we needed life jackets that were missing and with other questions. We loved staying here. Thank you for making our stay a vacation to remember.
A wonderful location on the water with great views. Within a very easy and short drive to either Reedville. Kilmarnock, Irvington, White stone etc. Small tip if you plan on eating meals at the house, may be best to plan ahead and bring groceries with you. That was our plan and it really worked out.
The communication with the home owners (Debbie, Uzma) was excellent throughout. That allowed us to feel more at ease from the very start. All of us enjoyed the close proximity to the water along with the generous availability of the kayaks. We spent several hours touring the nearby coves and taking in all the sights and sounds. When it was too warm at certain points of the day, we were able to stretch out and enjoy the living room area that allowed us to still take in all the views of the river. The kitchen and the home were well supplied with all the necessary items that one could ask for during their stay. Furthermore, we had a memorable experience during our stay at Opheliaâs Point. We already spoke about the strong possibility of making the trip back down to NN of Virginia in the near future. Thank you again for making our stay such a wonderful one!! Donât pass up the opportunity of crossing the river on the cable ferry :)
Gorgeous sunrise, picturesque views, not the best for kids
We recently stayed at this property and overall had a wonderful experience. Communication with the owner was excellentâshe was very responsive and helpful throughout our stay. The house was clean and well-stocked, which made settling in easy.That said, if you plan on doing a lot of cooking (which you likely will, as there aren't many local restaurants), it would be helpful to have larger pots for steaming crabs and more storage containers for leftovers.The views and the surrounding grounds were absolutely stunningâpeaceful, scenic, and truly memorable. However, I would not recommend this property for families with children. Due to the presence of oyster pots, crab pots, and jellyfish in the water, swimming and water activities are very limited, which may be disappointing for kids looking to enjoy the water.All in all, a beautiful getaway spot for adults looking to relax and enjoy nature.
Had an amazing week at Ophelia Point...amazing views of the river with everything we needed included at the house! Very spacious outside and we loved sitting by the fire every night under the stars looking out into the water! The house had everything we needed inside with a nice welcome basket when we arrived. Debbie, the co-host, was very easy to get in touch with prior to our trip and answe red all of our questions before our arrival...thank you so much!Our only suggestions...The deck could use a sanding and new paint job. The dock definitely needs updated as the boat lift is not useable and falling over. The neighbor Steve who shares it was great and helped us out alot when the weather got rough a few times with our boat in the water. There really is not an area to sit next to the water.We loved exploring the river, fishing the jettie and taking the boat out into the Chesapeake Bay and beaching it and enjoying the beauty of the area. If you have a boat it is definitely not a recreational river with crab pots and oyster farms everywhere which we did not expect, but we took advantage of being in the water as much as possible!
Adorable home with an amazing view from any window! We kayaked right from the dock. The view is why you stay here! Breathtaking! Management responded quickly. We would definitely stay again and recommend to anyone who loves the water and views.
There was a snag in us staying but no fault of the property owner. The recent hurricane had caused unusually high
waters and waves which made the dock unaccessible for us as my husband has a leg disability and could not get to the dock to fish as fishing was our #1 objective for our trip.
Everything else was absolutely beautiful! When we informed of leaving and finding another location we were treated very fairly.
My family was absolutely in love with this place. The views were magical, the place was peaceful, getting to see deers every single day was truly special. The home was equipped with everything we needed. The kitchen had all of the necessary appliances and resources. The host was very responsive. Would definitely stay here again!
We had such a good time at the property! The host was very responsive via VRBO and answered all of our questions! We enjoyed breathtaking views of the river and were able to kayak and enjoy the water. Overall had a great time! Thank you to the hosts for being so accommodating with our requests!
We experienced a few bumps that come with owning a house, like a capacitor going bad on the AC unit, but Debbie was right on it and went out of her way to help us and make us feel welcome no matter what we needed. We brought a boat and enjoyed tubing, fishing, water skiing, etc., only minutes from the bay by water! Fished from the dock, took the ferry over to the marina (very close if you bring a boat) and enjoyed hanging out in the spacious yard with the lovely view, a big tree provides lots of shade. Kayaking at sunset is amazing and watching the sunrise with morning coffee was a great way to start the day. This is a lovely, not busy, waterfront location for a reasonable price.
It was great except tv did not work in one house. We were disappointed. The add said paddle boats and they were not there. It was a lovely home and the view was breathtaking
Beautiful! The home was very clean, and fully stocked with everything you'd need during your stay. Had a lot of fun visiting the nearby towns--definitely had the small-town atmosphere. The cell phone service presented a challenge though. The three of us whose carrier was Verizon had no problem at all, but the other party who had another carrier was unable to get a connection unless we went closer to town. Something to consider. Also, we were unable to get local channels/cable on the TV. Used streaming. We loved the welcome goodies left out for us. We were looking for a place where we could just relax and chill out and we definitely got that. We really enjoyed sitting on the deck overlooking the water and watching the neighbors jet-skiing and boating. And everyone was so very friendly, both in the neighborhood and in the nearby towns. Would definitely go back.
We had a lovely stay. The house was clean, comfortable, and well-appointed, and the property is beautiful. The house has everything you will need for a great trip. The views were stunning and peaceful even in the rain! We had a fabulous time and will be back!
