Renovated River House l Private Beach and Dock l Unforgettable Views<br>


Fully Renovated River House
Welcome to Sunrise View, a truly amazing place to relax and enjoy the River! Unwind and put your feet in the sand while you feel the coastal breeze in your hair. You could not be any closer to the water at this house! We sit on a peninsula where the house was built on pillars just feet from the water. You would swear you were on the beach relaxing in the sand that extends out into the river!

The House:

1600 square foot house. It is built on piers that sit 15 feet in the air. We have a massive screened-in wrap around porch with tons of seating. The kitchen is completely stocked with all cookware you need to prepare any meal.

The master opens to the deck, making it convenient to step outside with a cup of coffee to watch the sunrise over the river.

Master: 1 King

Guest 1: 1 King

Guest 2: 1 Queen, 1 Full (trundle bed)

Outside:

Enjoy a private 175 foot pier for fishing or relaxing. Bring your boat or jet ski, because we have a private boat ramp for smaller boats ( check dimensions to make sure it fits under the house). There is also a marina that is 10 minutes away if you have a larger boat to launch and tie off to our 150 foot dock.

We have a gas grill and two tables to enjoy a riverfront dinner. Because the house it built on pillars, you have 1000 square feet of covered space underneath to relax. This makes it easy to beat the heat while outside having fun. Once you are done playing in the water, wash off in our outdoor shower that has hot and cold water.

Games, Toys, & Other Amenities:

Provided for your enjoyment are 2 stand up paddle boards, fishing rods, crabbing equipment, 2 kayaks (with kid and adult fitting life vests), small kid sized boogey boards and lots of kid’s beach toys. In addition, we provide a corn hole set and jumbo sized Jenga.

Our Town:

Tappahannock is one of the hidden jewels of Virginia. Come find out why retirees and sport enthusiasts flock to our area! Enjoy shopping or dinner out at several award-winning restaurants.

You have not lived until you have had a burger and shake from award winning NN Burger! If restaurants are not your thing then try your hand and catching your dinner from our dock or pick something up from Food Lion or Walmart, both are 5 minutes from our house.

For those that enjoy a game of golf, bring your clubs and book a tee time at the #6 best golf course in Virginia, Hobb’s Hole is just 8 minutes away.

You can also experience 10 award winning wineries on the Chesapeake Bay Wine Trail (by charter boat or a short drive), just minutes from our home, or find out how fresh seafood really taste on the Virginia Oyster Trail. Plan an excursion to the birthplace of Robert E. Lee or George Washington, both a short drive away on the opposite side of the river.

Security Cameras:

We have Ring cameras only on the front and back of the house for your protection and ours. There are no cameras inside the house, under the raised house or on the covered porch.
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned vacation home, featuring a kitchen with a refrigerator and an oven. There's a private patio. Complimentary wireless internet access keeps you connected, and a Smart television is provided for your entertainment. Conveniences include a desk and a microwave.
This smoke-free vacation home features games, beach toys, and kayaking nearby. Amenities include paddleboards on site.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

View of bay from porch is perfect, weather didn’t cooperate with our visit as a cold front came through. Inside of house very updated and clean. Not much to do in Tappahannock, but several good restaurants. This is a place for relaxing.

We had a wonderful weekend away on the river and would definitely like to return. The house was very clean, comfortable and spacious. There was a lot of shaded outdoor space on the porch and below the house. the view of the river was amazing. The kids loved all the beach toys that were provided.

The property was very nice with plenty of room. This was our second time here and this year the wildlife was fantastic. Saw osprey, loons, bald eagles, blue heron, and other birds. The pier is excellent; we caught big catfish and small spot. We did a lot of catch and release. Catfish ranged from 15 to 18 inches! Caught crabs and steamed them up on two occasions. The kitchen had everything we needed. The property was very clean and we loved hanging out on the bottom floor, paddle boarding, canoeing (we brought our own) and even did some yoga while watching the water. Very relaxing. Our two year old granddaughter had a blast. The little beach is perfect for her. There were plenty of beach and water toys for her to pay with. Only thing is be aware of the roadway is always flooded. VDOT was working on the little bridge but it does not look as though they are diverting the water away from the property at this point. That is the only downside to this property just be prepared to drive through salt water to get into the driveway. We absolutely love the property and the sunrises are spectacular!

Everything you could ask for
They literally have everything you need, just pack your clothes and enjoy! The location was very quiet the week we were there so we basically had the beach and river to ourselves. The fishing and crabbing were also great. We can’t wait to come back next year!

We stayed for a week for a family reunion. Great place for young kids and adults alike. Lots of great amenities like the kayaks and paddle boards. The sandy beach was a hit with kids and the water was calm enough for them to enjoy as well. Dock was great for the fishermen for the family. Great place for relaxing.

Peaceful fun
What an amazing place to stay. We arrived with our boys (4 & 7) and immediately dug into all of the fun toys/activities the home has to offer. After long days of swimming, fishing, kayaking and crabbing, the home is a perfect spot to rest as a family. Fully stocked kitchen for cooking meals, and lots of great space to lounge. Not much to do in town, but if you don’t care about that, this place is perfect.

Fantastic kid friendly getaway
The entire booking process and communication with Barbara was quick and prompt. The house itself is beautiful and very well located. We were fortunate that the houses on either side did not have any occupants so it felt like we had the river to ourselves. We brought our 18 month old son and he and absolute ball the entire time. The master bedroom was very later which allowed us to have our son have his floor bed in the room with us. We brought toys not realizing how many NICE kids toys were already at the house. The crown jewel of the house is the completely shaded lower level that is right on the water so we could have the monitor with us as we sat in the sand with our feet in the water. The shops near the house are also fantastic. Highly recommend NN burger and Java Jacks. My wife and I are already planning to return within the next year or 2. It’s a convenient 1.5 hour drive from Richmond which was really nice with a toddler. Can’t recommend this house enough!

I can't say enough good things about our stay! The house was beautiful, clean and well stocked with everything you could possibly need. Great fishing off the dock, my husband even caught a sting ray. The beach was wonderful to relax and tan. Did see a few jellyfish in the water during our stay. We spent most of our time on the beach, under the house in all the chairs and hammocks, and in the screened in porch! We will definitely be back.

Rappahannock Retreat at Its Best!
This was our second summer vacation at this location and it felt like coming home for our 3 generations of family. In fact, our 3 young grandsons were already planning to come again next summer before we even left. The children especially loved the sandy beach and many age-appropriate water toys, and the adults loved the paddle board and kayaks that the kids could accompany them on. The home and kitchen were fully equipped and comfortably furnished: all we could ask for. The hospitable and gracious host quickly answered any questions we had. The best room of all? The expansive screened in front porch, especially to watch the sun rise early each morning. Such a wonderful river home where you can be as active or relaxed as you desire. What a find!

We enjoyed all aspects of this house, beach, and dock! The house and location was perfect, just close enough to town but far enough away to be a quiet area! The house was well stocked inside and out! Our boys enjoyed the paddle boys, kayaks and fishing off the dock! I highly recommend this house and the owner was great to work with and easy to communicate with for any needs!

Superb!!
We recently stayed at the river house. It was everything we had hoped for and more. We typically do ocean front vacations, but due to our daughter being disabled we needed a shorter trip, and easy access to sand and water. This place was perfect! You couldn’t get closer. The views are amazing! We loved having the private beach and dock. The entire family had a blast fishing, swimming, and relaxing. Even the teens loved it. It was quiet and peaceful. Everything was as pictured and clean. Barbara was sweet and accommodating! Another plus was how stocked it was with everything you need. Beach chairs, floats, sand toys, crabbing gear, fishing rods, even a baby pool. The inside was just as equipped with a crock pot, extra bedding, beach towels, and more. I never in a million years dreamed a river front vacation could top the ocean, but it did! We cannot wait to return.

Relaxing and lots of fun
The house was clean and roomy. We were a little taken back at first pulling up to the property because high tide was in and the front road was covered with water. The road had water on it the entire time we stayed. But the house and pier are excellent! The screened porch was awesome. We ate meals there and enjoyed the view. We caught a 16 inch catfish, a 10.5 inch croaker, lots of small spot, (we used nightcrawlers), 28 keeper crabs, & caught a lot of small crabs which was fun for our 19 month old. The little one loved the beachfront, we brought our beach umbrella for shade. The water toys, water table, hammocks and swings were great! The pier is excellent and watching the sunrise is phenomenal! Saw a bald eagle swoop down catching fish, blue heron, little snapping turtle, little sand crabs, and lots of birds. We had a great family vacation here! Flies do get bad at times and not a lot to do in town. But if you want to relax, fish, kayak, paddleboard and play in the sand this is the place!

Beautiful place, but beware of jellyfish
We stayed with three generations for a week. The house is very comfortable and we spent most of our time on the beach, dock, or screened in porch. We had a great time catching lots of different fish and blue crab. The kids loved playing in the sand and there were lots of toys for the kids to play with. However one thing I want to make people aware of that I did not know, was the jellyfish problem, at least at that time of year. I’ve never seen so many jellyfish. There would be many washed up on the beach each morning and so many swimming around constantly. You could hardly look around without seeing them swimming by. Even in only shin deep water, our daughter was stung twice. So, that really ruined any of our plans for swimming in the water. Just check on that if that is what you are planning. Overall, we had a wonderful experience and the host was very responsive to fix a few small issues when we arrived. The city of tappahannock and warsaw had lots of delicious restaurants.

Rappahannock River Rapture!
Our 3-generation family (grandparents, parents, and boys aged 8, 6, 2) had a wonderful week. The boys couldn't get enough of the sandy beach, swimming, and play. They spent hours each day with all the amazing beach toys and floats generously provided. They also loved accompanying adults on the kayaks and watching them brave the paddle boards. The pier was fabulous for walking; watching ospreys, seagulls, cranes, and meteors; and jumping into the water with adults waiting below. Having a ladder to climb back up onto the pier would have been even better. The expansive porch was unparalleled for relaxing, reading, dining, and playing. The well-equipped kitchen and gas grill met every expectation for our resident personal chef. All the outdoor recreational amenities, along with the first-level wonderfully shaded picnic and sitting area, ensured a full day and good night's sleep for all in the very comfortable sleeping accommodations. We were all totally enraptured by our Rappahannock River stay, especially due to the beautiful sandy beach, the great weather, including a couple of nice storms, and helping the boys learn about the changing tides. Would love to return!

Good rental for adults and children. Pleasant vacation. House was a perfect fit for our family. Dock/pier was a great bonus. A couple days, there was a lot of jellyfish, but the kids (and adults) thought it was great to see how many they could catch while in the kayaks. Very quiet and rural area.
