Relaxing Private Riverfront Retreat with Beach and Private Dock

We have named our house “Rivah Retreat” as your worries and stresses are left behind once you arrive and take in the river and all of nature’s beauty is nothing short of serenity!

We hope you love this place every bit as much as we do!

The house is located in the Sandy Harbor community in Kinsale. The waterfront is located on White Point Creek which is a protected cove great for kayaking and paddle boarding. The cove is minutes away from Yecomico and Potomac Rivers, making it a boater’s and fishers paradise. Something for everyone! We provide three kayaks and one paddleboard and life jackets. While you are down at the dock we include eight beach chairs for relaxing by the water. We have a little beach area for relaxing, playing in the sand, or accessing the water.

Looking for a family, girls or guys gate away this house is perfect for all of those memorable occasions. We are dog friendly with approval from the owner.

When you are done enjoying all of the beauty of the water you can have a relaxing dinner and beverage on the oversized deck, relax by the indoor or outdoor fire. So many options to choose and the privacy away from any neighbors.

Inside you will find many amenities to make your stay relaxing including a fully equipped kitchen including extra’s like starter coffee, panni maker and crockpot. A full sized washer and dryer are provided with a few days worth of laundry pods. The house provides high speed wireless internet, games galore and TV’s to stream or watch your favorite movies.

There’s also a half bathroom off the kitchen.

A great Thanksgiving at the river retreat!

We enjoyed a perfect stay. The house is as described, very cozy and quiet with everything you need for cooking, to relax, play, walk, etc. We also appreciated a lot the fire pit and the chimney as it was very cold. There's plenty activities and nice towns around.

Family trip

We enjoyed our stay. Plenty to do right at the house. Kayaking was the best part! Unfortunately we couldn't get in the water due to the jelly fish. Our best surprise was our visit to a near by winery called Hague! Yummy wines and good conversation with the owner Steve.

We loved playing all the games that are provided. And the location is completely peaceful and quiet. It was so fun to fish off the dock.

Great weekend away!

We absolutely loved our stay here. Very well stocked kitchen and comfortable spaces. My dog loved the yard and there is a nice walking loop. The early morning kayaking was incredible!! As a heads up, the nearest grocery store is quite far, but a very minor concern compared to everything else which was wonderful.

Peaceful and serene location in a quiet neighborhood. Kitchen is probably the best & most well stocked we've ever seen in a rental. Everything you need, the kitchen has it. Propane grill was easy to use. House has plenty of space to spread out and relax. Plenty of board games if you just want to stay inside. If you like beer, go and check out Callao Brewing Co... a short drive. We will be back!
