We had a great time kayaking, fishing, catching crabs and eating outside with our family under the picnic table. We didn’t get a chance to use the firepit but we really appreciate that there are firewood available to use. The house is was perfect for my family. I’m glad that even though it’s an older home, the bathrooms and bedrooms were updated. My mom and sisters who came with us really enjoyed the stay too. The host were great and awesome too. Quick on responding too.

Great vacation place

Overall its a great place to stay. Just a few issues. The water pressure in both showers isnt very good (might just be the shower head as it has 100 holes) and the shower door in the main bathroom leaks at the bottom. We couldnt get the karoake machine to work, but the rest of the game room is awesome. The canoe and kayaking were awesome too and they have several life vests. Overall, we did enjoy our stay!

Get away with great friends!

We were booked to go to OBX, but the snowstorm changed that...so plan B! Plan B was a fantastic choice...great place to chill out, drink wine, dance and relax by the bonfire! Hosts were very quick to respond to emails, the beds were comfy and the kitchen stocked! I'd love to come back (I live in Oregon) and bring my grandsons here this Summer!

Family vacation

This vacation house was perfect for our family. We loved the location. We enjoyed kayaking every day and fishing. It was nice sitting down by the water around the fire pit, after a long day. The game room was an added bonus. We can’t wait to come back again sometime.

My husband and infant twins enjoyed a relaxing stay in Reedville- the house is clean and welcoming and had everything we needed. The view is great and we enjoyed the kayaks. We enjoyed local seafood for dinner and a drive to kilmarnock. Hope to come back soon!

Loved this spacious house! Very clean and beautiful views!! Rained almost the entire time we were there but we managed to make the best of it! Game room was great for the kids and the yard was perfect for the dogs! A little buggy since it was so wet outside, but beautiful! We hope to visit again!!

Paradise

What an excellent experience we had while staying in this lovely cottage. Such a peaceful place with the most beautiful views of the river. We enjoyed the paddle boat and kayaks, fishing & crabbing off the dock, and sitting in the backyard reading a good book. The house is great and has everything you will need. We absolutely can not wait to return to this piece of paradise.

Quaint, lovely town!

The home was exactly as described. Just pack a bag and everything else is there. Fully equipped property in a quiet location. The only thing I will add is the master bed was smaller than desired, otherwise everything was perfect! We would love to return at another time when the temps are warmer.

Fun spot that had it all

Nice sized older rancher with a neat retro vibe and full basement. The Game room kept everyone entertained during some rain. Big yard with water toys and a covered grill and picnic area. Great spot close with good water views and close to the marina our boat stays at. The host was always quick to respond and the house was well stocked for an easy and convenient getaway. Everyone agreed we would stay again, thanks!

Relaxing and Adventurous

Beautiful house bringing nostalgia with modern amenities; love the books, game room, showers, large kitchen, luxurious beds, colors and patterns in the interior. Gorgeous hydrangeas and magnolias and birds abundant. Dock was perfect, hopped in kayak and paddled several times a day. Easy! Fished and crabbed, even took Tangier Island cruise for boating bike riding and lunch. Really had everything! Hard to leave!

Lovely place and super generous hosts

My party of five went to Reedville to take the tangier Island day trip, and we LOVED this blue crab hideaway! For an older building it was superbly kept up, immaculately decorated and had EVERYTHING you could possibly want for a stay. The hosts are so generous to provide not only all kitchen/cooking essentials, but multiple kayaks/canoes and paddleboat for use, lifejackets, fishing poles, and (though we brought our own) even shower supplies and laundry soap, etc which I feel is above and beyond. I will say not a lot of restaurant and entertainment options in the area (open during the week) but a full kitchen and expansive game room sure goes a way to make up for it. 10/10 would stay there again ir recommend if going to Reedville.
