Home for the Holidays
Our family was gathering in Heathsville for Christmas and additional accommodations were needed to ensure everyone’s comfort over the holiday. While much of our time was spent at ‘Grandma’s house’ a few miles away, this was the perfect place for us to enjoy late evenings and early mornings. Cousins could be heard laughing long into the night as they caught up in the ‘loft room’, each morning started with a stroll in the dock, and days ended by gazing at the stars.Despite a slight communication issue prior to the reservation date (which VRBO’s help center quickly worked to resolve), the owner’s information was thorough, timely, and super helpful. He even ensured that the house was warmed to a comfortable temperature upon our arrival.Just flagging for future guests that linens and towels are not provided, including hand and dish towels.We had a wonderful time, loved the location, and will certainly consider returning when we can enjoy the waterfront activities more fully. Thank you!

We had a great time at my Blue Heaven. Nicely stocked kitchen, plenty of room inside and out. The kids ages 8 to 2 loved the bikes, games and puzzles. The beach was so close. Make sure to check out the stars at night AMAZING!

Wonderful stay-
The property was beautiful. We enjoyed mornings and evenings on the dock fishing, crabbing, and kayaking. We enjoyed floating and swimming at vir-mar beach (until jelly fish arrived.). We found out of the water entertainment in kilmarnock. The house was well suited for our gathering of two families with children. Both the host and property manager were wonderful in answering questions and giving helpful suggestions about local information.

Family Vacation
Honestly the property is much more beautiful in person than the pictures present and we had such a lovely stay. We built some core memories with the kids during our stay that we will remember forever. The internet and reception was very poor but it helped us all disconnect (just don’t expect to be able to work remotely here) and reconnect with each other. Thank you for letting us stay at your family home as it was clearly loved and maintained throughout the years by a loving family.

Exactly what you want from a vacation on the Bay
Our group was 4 families with kids of varying ages. We have been doing this trip for a decade and this house is the best set up for our group we've ever had. A big "dorm room" at the far end of the house meant the kids could play and get loud without bothering adults talking and playing games on the main level. The dorm also had to nooks that the older teens loved as they felt they had their own space. The dock is set up to fully enjoy the Bay. Without much effort we caught a bushel of crabs with the four house pots and there is a picnic table outside perfect for picking. There were jellyfish but not a ton - people were wading in the water at the public beach without issue. The house is home to a flock of wild turkeys that showed up everyday around 4 which was really cool. We didn't realize we needed linens/towels but the welcome email was clear about that so it wasn't a problem, just a bit of a surprise. The internet is spotty. My husband had planned on doing one critical work call and ended up going having to go into town. The public library is close (by the Food Lion) and has little work pods that were perfect although it would have been better if he didn't have to leave the house. However, it forced the kids to abandon their devices which was great. The motion sensor outside the master bedroom is faulty and had a bit of a disco party at night but we just turned off that breaker when we went to bed which worked fine. We will be booking again next year!

Beautiful Property Great for Large Family
This is a really beautiful place to stay. We were 14 people and we were more than comfortable in the spacious house. The area is very rural so be prepared to drive if you want to shop or do anything. The internet is very spotty and the cell service is basically non existent. So, it's a great place to unplug and relax. The house is big and the kitchen is well stocked with dishes, pots, utensils. The are NO LINNENS at all. No towel, sheets, etc. This was an issue for us as we flew in and had to drive to Walmart to purchase linens that we had to leave behind. Also, the water is NOT for swimming. It is full of jelly fish. (The dock AND the beach). It is great for fishing, crabbing and canoeing but you cannot swim in it. This was tough since the days were very hot. Also, you cannot be outside at night due to the immense swarms of biting insects. We couldn't even have a fire at night. It was just not possible without being attached by biting insects. So, overall, nice house, beautiful location, don't plan to swim, be outside at night or have any internet access.

Great, private oasis
Blue Heaven was a great, quiet, beautiful place to house our large family weekend. Secluded, yet so close to the beach. We enjoyed the dock, canoeing, crabbing and playing on the beach. The house is large and each family was able to have their spot in the house, without being an annoyance to others. The beach is a quick 5min walk. The dock was fun for crabbing and fishing (although no swimming as we saw lots of jellyfish and even stingrays!). We also recommend a quick visit to the T&Js Dairy Bar minutes away on route 200 in Burgess. The ice cream there was excellent!! Thanks Blue Heaven!

This was our second stay at My Blue Heaven with a big group and it was wonderful. It is so peaceful and we loved all the time spent outside on the dock, in the yard, and at the beach. We ventured out to Reedville one day for icecream and explored the area more. The Northern Neck is such a great, quiet escape!

My family which, includes 4 generations ages 8-79, had an amazing time in Heathsville. The house was perfect for our group with plenty of beds and lots of room for us to spread out. Outside we spent our days playing can jam and corn hole, fishing from the dock and kayaking as well as enjoying the fire pit. We also walked to the beach area. The property is very private.

Beautiful, private escape
Our stay at My Blue Sky on Hacks Creek far exceeded my family's expectations. We had a large group - and there was room and something to do for everyone. We caught blue crabs, spent time on the beach, cooked and enjoyed dinner together every evening except one when we went out to a local spot on the homeowner's recommendation. I couldn't have been more pleased with our stay. Homeowner was very communicative, and made our trip that much better with his hospitality. We would definitely go back again!

The house was just as described: it was clean, very spacious, with a fully equipped kitchen, and PLENTY of outdoor amenities. We all enjoyed every minute- indoors and out. We loved the dock!! Our only two concerns were that the upstairs was too warm at night, and a clicking issue with the stove. We would absolutely return.

Wonderful 50th Anniversary for the Whole Family!!!
We visited this home on Hack's Creek June 26-30, 2022 as a 50th Wedding Anniversary trip for my parents. We visited with thirteen family members, including children aged 3, 7, 8, 10, 12, 13, and 16. We had adults aged 43, 43, 46, 47, 72, and 73. It was absolutely enjoyed by every member of our family! The home on Hack's Creek is a unique and special place, like no other. It is in an amazing ecological niche at the meeting point of Hack's Creek, The Potomac, and Chesapeake Bay! We found/observed crabs, krill, sea nettles, osprey, turkey, deer, translucent fish, blue heron, and so many other unique species! We kayaked up Hack's Creek and navigated into the Bay, swam in the Creek, walked to Vir-Mar beach for swimming and sand-castle making, biked around, had campfires, played bocce and croquet, and explored every inch of this special location. The house itself was so perfect! The design of the home is open, bright, and great for a large family. Each person felt they had their own space, but we also had so many places for family time together on the back porch, living room, front porch, and dining room. It was absolutely perfect! My mother and father got the master bedroom for their 50th Anniversary....Wow! Each room had its own unique qualities and views...the kids' bedroom for six was awesome with loft beds and unique "nook" beds. The photos and reviews of this location are great, but the real thing is even better! It will always hold special memories in our hearts and minds. May God Bless!
