We had a lovely Easter weekend in Irvington! The home was well appointed and spacious for our family. And when we learned everything in town was going to be closed on Easter Sunday we were able to find everything we needed equipment-wise to make our own meals in their beautiful kitchen.

Lovely, well appointed home, Be aware that 4th bedroom, upstairs, may be appropriate for young people/children, but probably not for senior adults, though stairs and upstairs bathroom are great. Our group of 6 retirees enjoyed and appreciated the quality of the house and its furnishings.

Great home in scenic location

The home is beautiful and well maintained. Outside of not catching any fish or crabs (too early in the year) we had a relaxing stay. Barry, the host is extremely responsive. When we found the water feeding the showers and sinks was lukewarm at best, he sent a tech to adjust the hot water heaters and the situation was immediately rectified.

About the host

Hosted by Barry

Host profile image
We are located in Virginia and bought this property in 2013 to enjoy and to rent out when we are not using.

Why they chose this property

Irvington is a unique town, and the house is on Deep water. There is a lot to do and it sure does beat the traffic and crowds at the beach. The Tides Inn, Camp Vineyard, Golden Eagle golf courses, restaurants and Oyster Trail are all within walking distance. Great new restaurants include Dredge, The Office, Vine, and Adrift.

What makes this property unique

The Tides Cottage is near Tides Inn and convenient to all amenities of the Virginia Northern Neck and the tri-city area of Irvington, White Stone and Kilmarnock.

Home is stunning both inside and out.
