About this property

Waterfront River House at Sandy Point

The River House at Sandy Point, VA, in the heart of Virginia’s historic Northern Neck, is approximately 2 hours from Washington, DC and 1.5 hours from Richmond, VA. It rests on the banks of the Shannon Branch of the Yeocomico River, near Kinsale on a private waterfront point. It was initially built in 1932 as a fishing cottage and was fully renovated in 2008.

The River House is now a 2000 square foot single-story house with an open floor plan that includes beautiful panoramic views of the water. Open layout is also wheel chair friendly and has a 12 x 24 waterfront deck with handicap ramp.

The house easily sleeps 10 with 4 bedrooms (2 bedrooms on each wing) and a sleeper sofa, 2 full bathrooms, central air and heat, cable TV, a fully equipped kitchen, a river-side "glassed in" porch with a gorgeous waterfront view, washer-dryer, and a large waterside family room.

Bring your boat and jet skis. There is a pier with 2 boat slips (3.5 – 4 ft MLW) at the property for your use and enjoyment. There is also great fishing and crabbing from the pier. Sandy Point Marina with boat launching facilities and gasoline is located within one mile of the property. Fish the Yeocomico and Potomac Rivers & Chesapeake Bay!

In addition to Summer water and outdoor activities, don’t miss Spring and Fall rockfish seasons!

Another great stay!
We have stayed at the river house a few times now. It is very special for our family because it lets us really wind down and relax. We love it and highly recommend it.

Filthy carpets
The waterfront views are beautiful but the dishwasher didnt work ,the house smells of mildew at check in .Needed alot of air freshner ,and it didnt appear to be cleaned very well .the floors were all dirty and i looked under the bed for something i dropped and under the beds had dirt and trash from previous renters .we had a nice time but wouldnt recommend the property esp.if you have the cleanng disorder ocd like myself . For what i payed for two weeks i expected atleast a clean home to stay in .So therfore i was disappointed .And would recommend the NASTY CARPET IN THE LIVING ROOM BE CLEANED OR TORE OUT AND REPLACED .IT IS DISGUSTING DIRTY.Hopefully renovations can and will be done with the 3,000 +that i payed the owners .

Great house by the river
Our family had a great time in this place. The house is very comfortable and has plenty of space.m for everyone. The backyard is beautiful and very relaxing. Even our dog had a great time! Unfortunately, our boys were not able to swim in the river because there were so many jellyfish. That was very unlucky. We’ll definitely come back! thanks Jeff and Belinda for all your help and quick reply to our questions.
