Cottage vacation rentals in York County

Gorgeous view out the back over the York River. We went crabbing from the dock and had multiple bonfires after watching the most beautiful sunsets from the back yard. Fantastic outdoor amenities including a cook shack, outdoor refrigerator, multiple dining tables, and hot tub. Landscaping was immaculate. Located on a quiet road with absolutely no light pollution so the star gazing at night is flawless! Only a few cons that I would make guests aware of. First, is that it is a very rural location with few dining/entertainment options nearby. It's a good 25min to Yorktown, 40min to Williamsburg, and 50+ mins to Hampton. You could spend your entire vacation in the backyard or fishing from the dock and probably not be disappointed, but be aware that you will have a long drive to dining/entertainment. The second was that it wasn't the most kid's friendly. There are no bath tubs, only showers, no bunk/kid beds, and no toys for young kids. If those don't bother you, then you'll love it!

Exactly like John has listed. zero surprises!! His marking of the property with Green lights is Genius level navigating. Made coming and going either by car, walking on the street or the beach super easy to get back to your starting point. The Sunrises are absolutely breathtaking, a few steps to the beach and total bliss. The only thing we had to purchase was a fan, we like the extra noise for sleeping, we left it for the next fan sleepers! don't hesitate if you find this listing available!

This was a wonderful place to have a peaceful long weekend. Beautiful location, great amenities, peaceful home. We loved our stay, and appreciated how responsive and kind John was. 10/10 would stay again.

Such a cute sweet home. Had everything we needed. Stayed for Christmas to visit my son. We were able to cook an entire Christmas meal in the kitchen. All the pots, pans, and utensils you could need are there. The table for 6 fit us all perfectly. And the new hot tub was dreamy after the trip and Christmas meal. The matress was comfortable and the smart tvs were great. Our dogs loved the back yard. We walked our dogs through the cute quiet neighborhood. The hosts were dolls. Really can not say enough great things. It’s also only 15 minutes to the Naval Base. We’ll definitely stay again. I bet the back yard will be dreamy in the spring and summer.

This was our second stay to Richard's property, and it did not let us down. There have been changes since our last visit to include the laundry room and dock lighting (along with power by the fire ring). Great place, great stay, great value.

Our stay was nothing short of amazing. The house is absolutely stunning, and is stocked with anything you may need. Jennifer also added a few extra things for us, which made us feel right at home! We knew the place would be nice, but were truly in awe when we walked through the door. Cozy and clean, with tons to do without even leaving the house. We played in the game room, went kayaking, took a walk on the trails, and spent an evening in the hot tub. They also had a welcome book with some local recommendations which was super helpful, and checked in on us once we got settled to see if there was anything we needed. I would recommend this place ten times over!

This was our first visit to Cape Charles thank you for making it a special one! We were in town for a wedding in VA Beach. The drive over the bridge is a short one and only 25min to the venue. We did not have much time to explore the local parks and wildlife refuge which are minutes away but it’s been bookmarked and we will next time. The home is so charming and comfy with all the amenities you could ask for and some. On our exit we stopped into town for an amazing breakfast @ Cape Charles Coffee House (strong recommend) and walked the boardwalk and took pics at the beach. Lastly, the host and hostess were such a pleasure from the introduction to our leaving and was always so engaged and invested in our experience so thank you to them. We’d love to come back if you’ll have us. Please stay here if ever in Cape Charles you won’t regret it!

Great house!! Lots of parking! Spacious rooms. Very neat. Great backyard and a pool too! Can’t wait to go back.

I love Donna’s place so much . She is the best host, always available and a really kind person. Will always stay at her place while visiting my daughter and my new grandbaby ( until I buy a place so I can be near my grandbaby lol)

This was my second stay at Dan and Susan's place, with the first being a year ago. It is comfortable, well kept, and stocked with great amenities. Within 10 minutes of my arrival, I was on one of the bikes pedaling my way over to meet friends on the beach! I would recommend this cottage and would certainly stay there again. Thanks for a great stay!

We enjoyed our stay at Bee Haven Cottage. The rooms were nicely furnished with light touches of bee-related decor. There is a well-placed sign on the road next to the cottage that helps confirm that visitors are at the right spot. It is located in a quiet neighborhood that is only a short drive from the Main Street tourist area.

Such a great location - just a short walk from the beach. Front porch is a great place in the mornings and evenings. The dining room and living room fit our group well and we squeezed in the bedrooms (4 couples + 6 kids all 3 and under) but it was perfect since we spent most time outside anyways! Adam was super helpful and quick to respond when we needed a few items. Would definitely visit again!

A spacious, quiet, clean house, thoughtfully kitted out. Comfy mattress. Nice deck and large back yard. Kitchen well appointed and stocked with basic essentials. A few interesting books. Quiet neighborhood and neighbor. Would stay again, ideal for our short stay this time,

This property is nothing short of breathtakingly beautiful. The cabin isn't the biggest, but it's cozy and comfortable. The land and amenities more than cover the shortcomings of the size of the house. I booked this cozy cabin for my honeymoon. I couldn't have chosen a better lot. I truly loved it and enjoyed my stay. This is a very cute niche spot. The responsiveness of the host was awesome. I mistakenly put in the door code wrong too many times, and I unfortunately locked myself out of the cabin for a brief time. In my panic, I reached out to the host and let her know my situation. I was able to get the cabin unlocked without her help, but she still responded quickly.

I have never stayed at such a peaceful airbnb. The home was as described, this was the perfect mini getaway!

The latest of my numerous stays here was just as lovely as the rest

We enjoyed the quiet in the morning - the serenity of the surroundings. We would drink our coffee and listen and watch for the birds to appear around the water. We were pleased to hear the two great horned owls hooting back and forth with each other. We spent much of our days at our son’s house with the grandchildren and it as pleasant to come home to such a comfortable, lovely house. We had a great visit and would love to come again.

I have stayed at ALOT of Airbnb's and Klaudia's place deserves a A++ The house was adorable! It was spotless and Klaudia really gave attention to anything and everything to make it as comfortable as possible. She left a nice bottle of wine for us, plenty of coffee, lots of clean cozy blankets for lounging, soap/shampoo/TP/paper towels. Everything was provided. The space was very comfortable for my family of 5. Games for kids, nice outdoor space, comfortable beds, nice walking trail nearby. I highly recommend and would rent again next time I'm in the area!

We had a terrific time at Jimmy’s cottage on the beach. You are just steps away from the water and can settle in right there with beach chairs or walk for miles on a fine sandy beach. There is always a ship or two to watch. The cottage has everything you need and has a great layout for privacy with one bedroom and bathroom on opposite sides of the house. The cottage is clean, has everything you need for relaxation and if you want, cooking something up. There is outdoor seating, a table and chairs, a grill and a hammock to while away your time in the sunny afternoon. Jimmy is incredibly friendly and responsive to any issues or needs you may have. He even let us check in early the first morning as the cottage was available. The towels and linen are super comfy as are the beds. It’s a great place to unwind and relax. Terrific seafood at Willoughby by the Bay which is just down the road at the end of the Spit. It’s a dive but the food is five star. Jimmy’s cottage is wonderful!

Our stay at this property was truly an amazing getaway. The breathtaking views and stunning sunrises from the porch were a daily delight. The home is exactly as described and absolutely beautiful. We felt like we were at home. Each room is uniquely decorated. The doors opening up from the upstairs living room to the porch outside with a comfortable couch was so wonderful. We enjoyed the quietness Beach Music offered. We look forward to coming back soon one day.

We had a wonderful week at Gwynn’s Island. Access to the private pier was perfect for morning coffee and fishing all day long. Gorgeous sunrise views on the deck and easy access to the beach. We can’t wait to come back!

We had a wonderful stay. The cottage was the perfect size for my group of 4 and had everything we needed for our 4 day stay. Check out instructions were easy and minimal. We spent most evenings on the beach watching the spectacular sunsets. The location was fantastic and in a lovely neighborhood and a quick and easy drive to Cape Charles. We also really appreciated the 2pm check in.
