A wonderful experience and gracious host

From start to finish, Christie was warm, friendly and welcoming. The hospitality and communication were off the charts. The private beach view is one of the most amazing views we experienced. Very private and a long stretch of beach to walk along. The place was clean and has everything you need from a basics standpoint. The surroundings were awesome. Lots of fields and nature to explore nearby with the golf cart. Highly recommend and will be back.

Million dollar view!

Fabulous place to unwind and revel in the beauty of nature. The tiny house was intimate and very comfortable, and the host was absolutely amazing. We loved the kayaks and tooling around on our bikes. We didn’t use the available golf carts, but we will next time we go, and we plan to return. Wonderful experience!

A Secret Paradise

You will not regret staying here. Our experience was better than we could have ever expected. The tiny house was perfect in comfort and location, literally just a few steps away from the beach. The beach is so peaceful, clean and private! Christi and Rick are the most humble and amazing people I’ve ever met, they will make you feel like family, I don’t know what was harder leaving: the beach or our amazing hosts. We will definitely be back! 11/10 recommend to anyone contemplating this perfect getaway! Thank you again Rick and Christi!!

Peace/Quiet If/When You Want It

Couple of city folks here. We were in dire need of "getting away from it all." We studied out private beach cottages ( we wanted ON the beach, not NEAR the beach) and we came across this one. Was a gem! If peace and quiet is what you are looking for, this is the place. No hustle and bustle of your typical vacation rental, with lots of other travelers and vacationers all around you. The place was all ours! The BEACH was all ours! Christie has thoughtfully outfitted the place with everything she felt we would enjoy. At our disposal were row boats, kayaks, knee boards, etc. She has 6 or 8 crab traps that you can just go out and set any time you want. Afterward, Christie boiled our crabs up for us and taught us how to properly eat Blue crabs. It was a fun and unique experience for us. She has fishing poles already set up and waiting. She has bait for both fishing and crabbing bait ready to go for you and you can just grab it whenever you want and go! While we went for peace and quiet, we heard that another family previously rented the property and brought along 17 total guests who all set up tents on the 1.5 acre property. The property is very versatile. We were even given a street-legal golf cart for the week! Christie was the best host, always available and ready to help us out with anything we needed. The property is beautifully landscaped and well kept. Make sure to read all of Christie's ad. She gives great details. Read the reviews of others as well. The town of Exmore itself is a little slow. Not a lot to do and Covid has a lot of it shut down. We drove to Cape Charles and it was quaint, but still... Be prepared to entertain yourself. We didn't mind as we were there to NOT be surrounded by lots of other people, but if a nightlife, shopping or regular dining out is part of your dream vacation, you won't find it here. Think sleepy little town... Think of "getting away from it all," because you will be far away from it ALL... Which was just the way we wanted it. Oh... The view! Let me tell you something... The sunsets were absolutely astounding. The property is on The Chesapeake Bay facing west. The sun sets in your back yard over the water. WOW! You'll see! Words and even photos cannot do it justice. We are happy to know of this little hidden gem and will keep it in our list of great places (and people) to revisit.

About the host

Hosted by Christi Medice

I am a retired Paramedic and Lieutenant Firefighter for the City of Hampton, VA. I live with my husband, Rick, and our two parrots, Joey and Nikko. I am an outdoors lover and love to fish. We have bon-fires often and just enjoy the evenings and the sound of the waves as they crash along the shore line while looking at the stars above us. We have a fish pond in the yard, but these fish are just for admiring. I love to get around to talk to my neighbors and make sure they are all doing ok. I try to exercise as much as I can by walking on the beach and kayaking. There is a garden in the yard that Rick and I tend to. I love to can the vegetables for the Winter.

So I have been asked how I came up with the name "THELMA'S DAWN". Well, my mother passed away from cancer in 2007. Mom was 68 years old when she was called home. I had a sister, Dawn, who was called home at age 28. She was murdered in January1988. It was fitting to name this beautiful place after the two of them.

I have lived in this home since I was born, except for the 25 years I moved to Hampton, Virginia, in 1985, to take a job as a professional firefighter and went to school to become an Emergency Rescue Diver and Nationally Registered Paramedic. I was diagnosed in 1995 with Multiple Sclerosis, but continued to work in the fire department as an instructor of various Fire, Emergency Medical, Driving, CPR and Water Safety courses. I retired from the fire department in 2006 and moved back to the Eastern Shore, which I have always called my home!

Having MS, I can not enjoy things the way I use to. I love the beach and the water, but due to MS, I cannot stay in the heat long. With this being said, I have felt that this property was being wasted, so I made the decision to renovate a travel trailer that was going to waste and this is how Sandy Hill Sunsets came about! We wanted a tiny house and this made it easy to decide.

Why they chose this property

This property is special in it's own right. There is a private beach and you can have bonfires on the beach and grill hot dogs, make Smore's, fish at night, put a tent up on the beach if you want and just have a great time just being you with no worries about anything. If you want to drink on the beach, you can.

This is a secluded place where you will not have to worry about loud noises, except those created by nature. If you like serenity, you have surely picked the right place!
