About this property

Welcome to this little slice of heaven with breathtaking views of the Little Wicomico River, at the mouth of the Potomac River and Chesapeake Bay. Swim, float, crab or fish off the private dock. Grab a set of kayaks or SUPs and spend the day quietly exploring. If you are a boater, bring your own and safely secure it to the deep-water dock with sandy bottom. Or if you prefer, join a fishing or sight-seeing charter from the nearby marina.

When you’re not ON the water, you’ll love being in its presence – drinking coffee on the patio, relaxing on the Adirondack chairs around the firepit, or taking a walk down the road to the Sunnybank Ferry, which takes you by car or foot to Reedville.

When you’re not enjoying the outdoors, you will be completely charmed by the fully renovated Sunnybank Cottage. It is simply and tastefully appointed with modern furnishings, high quality linens, and a fully equipped kitchen. The dishware, glasses, flatware and serving platters are the quality you enjoy at home – and yes, there is a wine fridge and even an air fryer! There are wood floors throughout the home, and a wall of windows along the back of the cottage that makes you feel like you’re outside even when you are not. Both full bathrooms are new, and feature granite countertops, glass-enclosed showers, and tile floor.

Strong WiFi, charging stations everywhere, and streaming services/Netflix/Amazon Smart TVs. If you need to work from vacay, or find yourself with a rainy day, you're all set!

The space is perfect for families, couples, or a group of friends. The primary and guest bedrooms each sleep two, and then you can comfortably fit four people/big kids in the third bedroom/bunk room, which has a Queen bed and 2 XL-twins. There are two additional single futons in the living room (grey, shown in photos) which can work for smaller kids.

An easy drive and perfect escape from Richmond, Northern VA, Fredericksburg, and Eastern Maryland…plan your getaway today!

End of the line Paradise!

The sunrises across the sound are incredibly amazing. If that was not enough the house has the newest appliances, great layout, and 200 plus degrees of water views from the dining room table. It is ideally located for a peaceful and restorative vacation from reality. Working remotely from the dining room table was the best location yet. Thanks for the opportunity to return to my high school regional area and deepen my appreciation for the waters I miss dearly.

Peaceful Retreat

My fiance and I had a wonderful time in Northern Neck. The house was bright, open, clean and very welcoming. The neighborhood is very quiet with friendly neighbors. The town itself, is very friendly and welcoming. We enjoyed being on the water and catching crabs right off of the dock. Debbie is quick to respond if anything should come up or if you need any assistance. That was greatly appreciated. The house has everything you need for a great vacation, especially the Kitchen, which included high end appliances and cookware. Overall, we had a wonderful time and would definitely return. We highly recommend this home for fun,relaxation, private getaway, and wonders on the water.

Relaxing on the Rivah

My wife and I took her mom and dad, aunt and uncle. All who are near 80. They loved sitting and watching the boats and views in general. We fished and took a few rides to some near by towns. We all loved and it had very good access for the older folks.

Shangri-La on the Northern Neck

We fell in love with SunnyBank Cottage as soon as we saw the property. The outside of the home is pretty but we were wowed when we walked inside. The home is extremely clean and everything has been redone. Oh, and did I mention the views out of the wall of sliders looking out at the water? Our stay was for 2 weeks so we were able to fully enjoy the home. Although it was just the 2 of us, it is also perfect for a larger group. The bedrooms were reasonable sizes. The master shower was like being in a spa and was a huge room with double sinks, and 2 closets. The kitchen and laundry set up was a dream that allowed me to attend to my domestic goddess duties with ease. The appliances are all fairly new and I was able to prepare meals and do laundry while watching TV, all at the same time. Yay! The dishes and flatware were plentiful and top-notch. (Fitz and Floyd and Lenox) The glassware, towels and linens were plentiful and excellent quality. The pictures really do not do the home justice. We did a lot of fishing and crabbing off the dock with the equipment that we brought with us. The Hosts and Manager were extremely responsive. We are frequent VRBO travelers as we are retired senior citizens that stay for 2- or 3-week visits at various VRBO locations throughout the year. So, what are your what are you waiting for? Book now and you will not be disappointed.
