We loved, loved, loved everything about our stay at “Ships Watch on the Bay”—the pier, the wrap-around screened porch, the gourmet kitchen, and the BEAUTIFUL VIEWS of the Chesapeake Bay. The three bedrooms are very nice, too. Sunrises are worth getting up early; just go out in your pajamas and watch from the pier! The cottage could not have been more charming. We are still talking about it four months after our stay. We went in late August, but I feel certain we would love being there any month of the year!
I had personalized mugs made for everyone to use at the cottage and to keep as a memento of our stay.

The home is wonderful! View of the Chesapeake Bay is picture perfect. The location provides convenient access to many great points of interest along Virginia’s Middle Peninsula and Northern Neck. The pier and outdoor amenities truly added to our experience. The home itself is lovely. Warm, cozy and the kitchen alone is very well appointed. Our family of two adults and four teens slept very comfortably. Our host, Lisa, was warm, gracious and very communicative. We are definitely looking to return to this home again.

Wonderful stay at Ships Watch on the Bay! Absolutely darling cottage with spectacular views, a fantastic screened porch, stylish and comfortable furnishings and bedding, and a fully equipped and modern kitchen. Lisa was so helpful and provided so many extras- like water, snacks, coffee, creamers, shampoo , lotion, etc .-which were very much appreciated. The neighbors are also so friendly with tips for fishing and crabbing. We loved our stay and look forward to returning!

The house was absolutely beautiful! We really didn’t need to bring anything else besides food because Lisa kept the house super well stocked. The dock was so wonderful and we caught lots of blue crabs and fish right off the dock. Lisa was a very responsive host and made us feel right at home. We will definitely return to this property again!

Great property with amazing views and amenities on property. The town of Deltaville had all your essentials and the drive to and from Williamsburg/Yorktown, etc. is not that far. Great place to stay and the experience with the host was outstanding. The home had everything you needed and the wrap around porch and open windows provided a view of the bay at all times.

Wonderful getaway

I highly recommend this location for a getaway. Lisa is a great communicator, from time of booking to check out. The views are amazing and so is the house. You can either lounge in the chairs in front of the bay or walk on the dock. All of the amenities you need are there. The bed was so comfortable and so were the pillows. We have stayed at several VRBO properties in different states and this is right at the top. Will definitely be back

Why they chose this property

Location....Location....Location! It's a rare opportunity to be able to stay on the very tip of Stingray Point in Deltaville! In 1608, Captain John Smith was stung by a cownose stingray while fishing with his men at the mouth of the Rappahannock River. He was seriously injured by the sting and even gave orders to his men as to the disposal of his body should he perish. He recovered and named the point Stingray Point.

The Stingray Point Lighthouse was built in 1858 at the entrance to the Rappahannock River. It was deactivated in 1965 and dismantled shortly thereafter. The pilings are still in place and are now a buoy. The Stingray Point Lighthouse can be seen from Ships Watch. A replica of the lighthouse was built at the Safe Harbor Marina in Deltaville 1.6 miles west of the original site.

We love dogs! We allow up to 2 dogs 50 pounds and under with a small non refundable pet fee. The pets cannot be left unattended in the home unless they are in a crate. They must be house broke and not chew. If you have any questions send Lisa a message.

What makes this property unique

The "View." The Chesapeake Bay can be seen from 17 of the 19 windows at Ships Watch!
