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! You will hear the locals and those visiting the Northern Neck Region say they are heading to the “Rivah” when they refer to this beautiful area. 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.

    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.

House was spacious, clean, and comfortable. We had everything we needed in the kitchen and bathrooms. Plenty of games, etc to pass the time. The view of the lake and sitting on the dock was our favorite part of the property. Our host was responsive and the check in information was thorough. We will definitely book another stay at this house!!

This was the perfect home for 3 older couples. Everything is on one floor with plenty of room for everyone to spread out. TV's in all the bedrooms which is nice when someone doesn't want to watch what everyone else is watching. The kitchen was well stocked-we did a lot of cooking and had everything we needed. Beds and linens were very comfortable. Weather was not on our side so we didn't get to enjoy everything outside but was a very nice set up with the firepit and dock. Thank you for sharing your home with us!!

We had a great weekend at Kathy’s place. We were able to bring our dog which was great. We loved the little beach to launch the kayaks from and had bonfires at night. The house was clean and as described. We'd definitely stay here again when up on the Northern Neck!

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.

Great Family/Friend Vacation

We absolutely loved our vacation in Kinsale on the water. The kids loved the swimming, fishing and making smores! The bedrooms were spacious and plenty of extra blankets. Warm water does take awhile when showering and it would have been nice to have the option for curtains on the doors and windows for night time. Other than that, we had a great time.

Fantastic Property

Our party consisted of six adults. The home was extremely clean and felt brand new. The Showers had built-in dispensers for shampoo, conditioner, and body wash and the towels included were high-end. The kitchen Had every amenity you could hope for. It felt like cooking in our own home. We enjoyed the water view from the deck and had coffee there every morning. There are umbrellas to block the sun, so you can enjoy the deck And the view of the water all day. We really enjoyed all of the games, puzzles, and outdoor activities like cornhole and ping-pong that were included. The kayaks were easy to access as well as the life vests. Overall, it was a fantastic stay!
