Nice Cottage!!!
We had a wonderful stay! AC and Linda were wonderful! We were close to all the historical places we wanted to see. Had plenty of room for my sister and her kids to come visit in the day! Will be booking here again for sure!

Easy living
We thoroughly enjoyed this cottage. The location and scenery was wonderful. We rode the ferry to Williamsburg for dining and sight seeing. It was only a three day weekend trip but it totally revitalized us. LOVE...LOVE...LOVE this place.

On the water living!
If you like a beautiful water view, this is a wonderful place to stay! Even though the cottage is older, it is well-maintained and the owners have thought of everything needed to make your stay comfortable. The house was impressively clean too. We enjoyed every minute, even every trip across the river on the ferry! (I was concerned it would get old, but it did not.) Definitely bring water shoes of some sort for the beach as there are many shells. We saw deer several times and two eagles. It is a very peaceful location and A.C. and Linda are wonderful hosts. We hope to be back.

Family Getaway
We have visited Williamsburg on many occasions, but have never stayed on this side of the river. We enjoyed the quiet mornings and surrounding nature. The river side cottage location was so peaceful. My family greatly enjoyed the fishing and water sports. The ferry made getting to and from Williamsburg very easy and fun. It is 40-50 minutes point to point (cottage to Busch gardens) depending on if you time to ferry right and traffic. We loved visiting the small town of Smithfield! The house was well maintained, very clean, and the owners responsive! Will definitely consider staying again.

James River Relaxation
This is a cute old cottage that has obviously been well cared for over the years. It is in the perfect location for both relaxing on the beach and visiting Williamsburg, Jamestown, Yorktown, Busch Gardens and Water Country. We had a great time kayaking, fishing, searching for shark teeth, swimming and watching the bald eagles and osprey. The enclosed, air conditioned porch was wonderful! On rainy days my kids enjoyed all the puzzles and Williamsburg-opoly. A.C. and Linda were so helpful - if we had any trouble they came to help within minutes! One night the grill wouldn’t light so A.C. came with a lighter - problem solved, or so we thought! He was back about 30 min later with a new grill! One word of advice - bring water shoes! We made good use of the first aid kit we found in the bathroom after the kids cut their feet on shells multiple times.

Delightful Cottage
We absolutely adored our time in this beachfront cottage. The views are stunning, with unforgettable sun rises over the river and so many beautiful birds including bald eagles to view from the deck. The little private beach was perfect with kayaks, chairs, and an umbrella there for us to use! We loved the calm water and hunting for seashells... we even caught and released a few fish which was exciting! We loved the local restaurants, and the girls were so excited to experience the ferry over to Jamestown/Williamsburg and the water park! The hosts were very communicative and the place was extremely clean with tons of amenities that made us feel right at home... right down to a stack of beach towels and a little bag to take to the beach! We hope to come back to experience this delightful cottage in Surry County VA again and again. Thank you!!!

so lovely!
This cottage has to be the CLEANEST place we have ever stayed. The cottage was secluded, quiet, and quaint. It had a lovely closed in porch with a picnic table and plenty of seating. Plenty of room for everyone. The kitchen was very well equipped; I had brought some things from my kitchen and didn't need any of it. I really enjoyed the books on Surry on the mantle; they were very interesting. WOULD DEFINITELY STAY THERE AGAIN! Thank you!
