About this property

Renovated River House l Private Beach and Dock l Unforgettable Views<br>


Fully Renovated River House
Welcome to Sunrise View, a truly amazing place to relax and enjoy the River! Unwind and put your feet in the sand while you feel the coastal breeze in your hair. You could not be any closer to the water at this house! We sit on a peninsula where the house was built on pillars just feet from the water. You would swear you were on the beach relaxing in the sand that extends out into the river!

The House:

1600 square foot house. It is built on piers that sit 15 feet in the air. We have a massive screened-in wrap around porch with tons of seating. The kitchen is completely stocked with all cookware you need to prepare any meal.

The master opens to the deck, making it convenient to step outside with a cup of coffee to watch the sunrise over the river.

Master: 1 King

Guest 1: 1 King

Guest 2: 1 Queen, 1 Full (trundle bed)

Outside:

Enjoy a private 175 foot pier for fishing or relaxing. Bring your boat or jet ski, because we have a private boat ramp for smaller boats ( check dimensions to make sure it fits under the house). There is also a marina that is 10 minutes away if you have a larger boat to launch and tie off to our 150 foot dock.

We have a gas grill and two tables to enjoy a riverfront dinner. Because the house it built on pillars, you have 1000 square feet of covered space underneath to relax. This makes it easy to beat the heat while outside having fun. Once you are done playing in the water, wash off in our outdoor shower that has hot and cold water.

Games, Toys, & Other Amenities:

Provided for your enjoyment are 2 stand up paddle boards, fishing rods, crabbing equipment, 2 kayaks (with kid and adult fitting life vests), small kid sized boogey boards and lots of kid’s beach toys. In addition, we provide a corn hole set and jumbo sized Jenga.

Our Town:

Tappahannock is one of the hidden jewels of Virginia. Come find out why retirees and sport enthusiasts flock to our area! Enjoy shopping or dinner out at several award-winning restaurants.

You have not lived until you have had a burger and shake from award winning NN Burger! If restaurants are not your thing then try your hand and catching your dinner from our dock or pick something up from Food Lion or Walmart, both are 5 minutes from our house.

For those that enjoy a game of golf, bring your clubs and book a tee time at the #6 best golf course in Virginia, Hobb’s Hole is just 8 minutes away.

You can also experience 10 award winning wineries on the Chesapeake Bay Wine Trail (by charter boat or a short drive), just minutes from our home, or find out how fresh seafood really taste on the Virginia Oyster Trail. Plan an excursion to the birthplace of Robert E. Lee or George Washington, both a short drive away on the opposite side of the river.

Security Cameras:

We have Ring cameras only on the front and back of the house for your protection and ours. There are no cameras inside the house, under the raised house or on the covered porch.

We had a wonderful weekend away on the river and would definitely like to return. The house was very clean, comfortable and spacious. There was a lot of shaded outdoor space on the porch and below the house. the view of the river was amazing. The kids loved all the beach toys that were provided.

Relaxing time on the water

This river house really felt like you were at a quiet, private beach. It is well stocked and we couldn't think of anything that was missing. We enjoyed kayaking and sitting on the beach without having to lug chairs and other stuff.

Beautiful sunrises

My family and I stayed for a week over Christmas 2023. It’s among the nicest rentals we’ve experienced. It’s very clean. The kitchen is well stocked and the beds, pillows and sheets are more comfortable than most rentals. The owner texted us with instructions and check in and out worked very smoothly. Highly recommend!

The most amazing sunrises and sunsets! Right on the water surrounded by peaceful fields- the perfect place to unwind! The home is so comfortable and offers everything one needs for a great getaway!

More than ample room for all! We will definitely be back!!!! Thank you so much for the great communication and truly perfect place to host Thanksgiving away from home!

Fantastic kid friendly getaway

The entire booking process and communication with Barbara was quick and prompt. The house itself is beautiful and very well located. We were fortunate that the houses on either side did not have any occupants so it felt like we had the river to ourselves. We brought our 18 month old son and he and absolute ball the entire time. The master bedroom was very later which allowed us to have our son have his floor bed in the room with us. We brought toys not realizing how many NICE kids toys were already at the house. The crown jewel of the house is the completely shaded lower level that is right on the water so we could have the monitor with us as we sat in the sand with our feet in the water. The shops near the house are also fantastic. Highly recommend NN burger and Java Jacks. My wife and I are already planning to return within the next year or 2. It’s a convenient 1.5 hour drive from Richmond which was really nice with a toddler. Can’t recommend this house enough!

Beautiful

The property was very nice with plenty of room. This was our second time here and this year the wildlife was fantastic. Saw osprey, loons, bald eagles, blue heron, and other birds. The pier is excellent; we caught big catfish and small spot. We did a lot of catch and release. Catfish ranged from 15 to 18 inches! Caught crabs and steamed them up on two occasions. The kitchen had everything we needed. The property was very clean and we loved hanging out on the bottom floor, paddle boarding, canoeing (we brought our own) and even did some yoga while watching the water. Very relaxing. Our two year old granddaughter had a blast. The little beach is perfect for her. There were plenty of beach and water toys for her to pay with. Only thing is be aware of the roadway is always flooded. VDOT was working on the little bridge but it does not look as though they are diverting the water away from the property at this point. That is the only downside to this property just be prepared to drive through salt water to get into the driveway. We absolutely love the property and the sunrises are spectacular!

Another wonderful and relaxing family getaway! We love this property, the views are incredible! Short trip from DC yet once you arrive, you feel like you're a million miles away from the city. Barbara is the best host I've ever encountered, always very responsive and provides timely updates and reminders. This is our 3rd year in a row and we'll certainly be back again next year!

An excellent place to stay at a beach with the family. The house is clean, up to date, well maintained, and very well furnished. The kitchen has everything you'd need, and the outdoor area is exceptionally furnished with chairs, tables, hammocks, kayaks, a paddle board, crab net, child toys, and even corn hole! And what's the best part is the convenience of the beach and outdoor area - right underneath and next to the house! I especially appreciate having a covered area to stay in to keep out of the sun when it's too much for me. It's an ideal place for all ages - from little ones to grandparents. There's a lot of privacy as well, but a town is a short drive away (5-7 minutes) that has a Wal Mart, a good grocery store, some good restaurants, and a wonderful produce shop. We've stayed two years in a row now and hope to continue going back in the future.

Another Great Stay

This was our third stay and hopefully won't be our last. Felt like coming home again to this comfortable house, bedrooms, and well equipped kitchen. For our 3-generation family with children age 4, 8, 10, the availability of a pristine beach and sand toys, floats, paddle boards, and kayaks all make for great water time. We all love the fabulous screened porch for watching sunrises. sunsets, nesting osprey, and thunderstorm fireworks. One grandson said, "I can see myself bringing my own children here years from now." How's that for the best review ever?

Amazing Experience

We booked this place because it was on the water, near to Richmond and accessible for my 84 year old parents. This place was perfect. Beautiful house, beautiful views. They have everything at the house you could possibly need. Just bring your clothes and you are set. We can't wait to come again!

Everything you could ask for

They literally have everything you need, just pack your clothes and enjoy! The location was very quiet the week we were there so we basically had the beach and river to ourselves. The fishing and crabbing were also great. We can’t wait to come back next year!
