Private Beach Getaway at Finest Chesapeake Bay

5 out of 5 average rating, 17 reviews4 months ago

This home is absolutely beautiful. I loved being able to wake up early and watch the sun rise over the Chesapeake bay. Even though it was cold the kids enjoyed splashing in the water with their rain boots. We spent the Wednesday before Thanksgiving at colonial Williamsburg. Afterwards we ate at Captain George’s, a place Tas recommended. It was absolutely worth it. I was also pleased with being able to make a good Thanksgiving meal. The stay was relaxing and peaceful. We would love to come back in the near future.

The Canvasback Cottage

5 out of 5 average rating, 16 reviews3 months ago

This place is beautiful! So peaceful and serene. The water is only a short walk away. The space was very clean and welcoming. We weren’t able to turn on the heat at first, but Randy came promptly to fix it. The bathroom was my favorite part, it was very luxurious for the price. 10/10 recommend and would stay here again!

ESVA Silver Beach Getaway - Book Summer 2025 now!

5 out of 5 average rating, 14 reviews1 week ago

Cute, clean and very comfortable cottage with beautiful bay front large lot. Screened in porch was huge and definitely the place to be along with a lovely beach side covered wooden shelter with brand new rocking Adirondack chairs for relaxing and enjoying the gorgeous view. Unfortunately, the weather did not cooperate during our stay ( rainy, cold and windy ) but we could still enjoy the view from inside! Fun towns to explore within 30 minutes and good restaurants with great seafood. ( Best crab cake ever at The Oyster Farm in Cape Charles and best mussels at Mallards in Onancock. ) Would definitely rent this cottage again if back in the area.

Waterfront Sunsets With Pickleball Court & Hot tub

4.82 out of 5 average rating, 44 reviews2 weeks ago

This is such a unique property! It was perfect for our family. We knew the weather was going to be cold and rainy for ~half our visit, but Jessica’s house did not disappoint. There is so much to do, which resulted in priceless family time. When the weather cleared, we fully enjoyed the outside amenities. The pickleball court, sauna, and hot tub were big hits. Jessica is a great communicator and enabled a memorable Spring Break for our kids.
