Nestled on Little Oyster Creek in the charming small town of White Stone, is Beacon Bay Getaway. This newly renovated, lighthouse style home is situated on 3 private acres and has 3 water views: the Creek, the Chesapeake Bay and the Rappahannock River all which can be viewed from the new wrap @ deck and top observation lookout. The private dock is great for launching one of our kayaks or SUP or night stargazing. Bring your fishing rods to catch Croaker or use our crab pot for local blue crabs.

The space
THE HOUSE:
Enter through french doors to the unfinished storage space. The main floor is up one flight of stairs, which can also be accessed outside the house. The fully stocked, newly renovated kitchen is ready to cook a large meal and has a sliding glass door that leads to the brand new wrap around deck where you will find a grill and a couple of adirondack chairs to enjoy the stunning views. The dining area is adjacent to the kitchen with a table that can be extended to seat up to 8 guests and wraps around to the main living space with a pullout full sleeper sofa, and two comfortable chairs both with ottomans. Off the living space is a large bathroom with shower/tub combo, toilet and vanity sink. A 50 inch Smart TV with Amazon prime video, Netflix, Disney+ and Max (other apps too) are preinstalled. Stream with your accounts as desired - just remember to log out prior to departure.
The second floor is accessed from the kitchen up a flight of stairs.The primary guest room features a king-sized bed, reading nook, large dresser, and a private master balcony with bistro table and 2 chairs. AMAZING views of Little Oyster Creek can be enjoyed from here. The secondary bedroom offers a queen bed, chair, large closet and dresser. In between the bedrooms is a full bathroom with shower/tub combo, vanity and toilet. One level up from the bedrooms, leads to the top wrap around observation deck! This is where you can enjoy all 3 water views! Enjoy stargazing at night using the provided telescope or enjoy your coffee while watching the boats and jet skis come in and out of the creek!
UNFINISHED BASEMENT:
Full-sized washer and dryer are located here along with a kayak, a stand up paddle board, 2 tubes and several life vests (3 universal adult size, 2 adult sizes and 2 youth sizes) for you to use while at the house. We have 2 kayaks mounted outside and 1 kayak and the SUP inside. There are 2 new sliding glass doors where you can easily take them in/out from.
Additional fee for pets. Will contact separately.
OUTSIDE:
The newly built steps from the deck lead down to a rather large yard that includes a newly designed fire pit with chairs, as well as, a newly upgraded hammock. Plenty of space to play some corn hole, croquet, toss a frisbee or just let the kids burn off some energy. There's an awesome outdoor shower perfect for rinsing off or just rinsing off some sandy toes after a day on the water. Water to the outdoor shower will be turned off in the winter months.
GOOD TO KNOW:
During high tide or after a significant rain, water can come up in the yard in the area around the marsh. In the summer months it’s common to have jellyfish (stinging nettles) in the water.

You'll have access to the whole house.
