Relaxing Private Riverfront Retreat with Beach and Private Dock

We have named our house “Rivah Retreat” as your worries and stresses are left behind once you arrive and take in the river and all of nature’s beauty is nothing short of serenity!

We hope you love this place every bit as much as we do!

The house is located in the Sandy Harbor community in Kinsale. The waterfront is located on White Point Creek which is a protected cove great for kayaking and paddle boarding. The cove is minutes away from Yecomico and Potomac Rivers, making it a boater’s and fishers paradise. Something for everyone! We provide three kayaks and one paddleboard and life jackets. While you are down at the dock we include eight beach chairs for relaxing by the water. We have a little beach area for relaxing, playing in the sand, or accessing the water.

Looking for a family, girls or guys gate away this house is perfect for all of those memorable occasions. We are dog friendly with approval from the owner.

When you are done enjoying all of the beauty of the water you can have a relaxing dinner and beverage on the oversized deck, relax by the indoor or outdoor fire. So many options to choose and the privacy away from any neighbors.

Inside you will find many amenities to make your stay relaxing including a fully equipped kitchen including extra’s like starter coffee, panni maker and crockpot.

A great Thanksgiving at the river retreat!

We enjoyed a perfect stay. The house is as described, very cozy and quiet with everything you need for cooking, to relax, play, walk, etc. We also appreciated a lot the fire pit and the chimney as it was very cold. There's plenty activities and nice towns around.

Great Family/Friend Vacation

We absolutely loved our vacation in Kinsale on the water. The kids loved the swimming, fishing and making smores! The bedrooms were spacious and plenty of extra blankets. Warm water does take awhile when showering and it would have been nice to have the option for curtains on the doors and windows for night time. Other than that, we had a great time.

Fantastic Property

Our party consisted of six adults. The home was extremely clean and felt brand new. The Showers had built-in dispensers for shampoo, conditioner, and body wash and the towels included were high-end. The kitchen Had every amenity you could hope for. It felt like cooking in our own home. We enjoyed the water view from the deck and had coffee there every morning. There are umbrellas to block the sun, so you can enjoy the deck And the view of the water all day. We really enjoyed all of the games, puzzles, and outdoor activities like cornhole and ping-pong that were included. The kayaks were easy to access as well as the life vests. Overall, it was a fantastic stay!

Home away from Home

This home has everything you need! We took advantage off all the goodies and went bike riding, kayaking, games and relaxing on the dock and enjoyed the beautiful water and weather. We grilled out and played music. The bedrooms and bathroom were big and clean and so so comfortable. The only negative thing is I can say is we couldn’t stay longer. We will definitely book again.

Great stay. Very relaxing and location rich in history

Great place for some family quiet time. We rode our bikes a few miles up the ride where George Washington’s parents met. Went kayaking out in the cove. And we loved the fire pit at night. 2 of the 3 bikes in the shed had flat tires, but we brought our own so for use it wasn’t a big deal. My boys loved watching NCAA championship game on the HUGE TV in the master bedroom

Well appointed spacious home

House is beautiful. Plenty of room both inside and out for the 4 adults 2 kiddos and 2 furry kiddos. Honestly the only complaint is the lack of a decent broom and a mop. The driveway and some surrounding areas are sandy making it difficult to keep the beautiful dark hardwood floors clean throughout our stay. The fire pit was a big hit and plenty of fire wood to keep us entertained. The dock was a plus. Ample parking for 2 SUVs and a full size truck with a 24' boat.

Very relaxing family time (including the pups)

This home is in a very quiet area with beautiful water frontage. There is a gravel easement road cutting through the very large yard between the house and the water but we hardly saw anyone. A very friendly lab, stick in mouth, did drop by to say hi! All in all, a great retreat.

Great weekend away!

We absolutely loved our stay here. Very well stocked kitchen and comfortable spaces. My dog loved the yard and there is a nice walking loop. The early morning kayaking was incredible!! As a heads up, the nearest grocery store is quite far, but a very minor concern compared to everything else which was wonderful.

Great remote work get-away

I spent a week here as a remote work getaway from the DC metro area. It was an easy 2 hour drive. The house was perfect for me and my dog with plenty of space for more people too. It was light and open with WiFi strong enough for video calls. I enjoyed working in the open space and my dog loved hanging out on the deck and huge yard. It’s not fenced in but only a few cars a day would pass. The house is well removed from a main road but there were enough homes in the community that I didn’t feel completely isolated. The kitchen was well equipped and everything worked. Also had some nice extras for the dog - food bowls and dog beds. I loved sitting out on the dock at the end of the day with a glass of wine… it was peaceful and quiet. I brought my own food so can’t comment on restaurants. The owner was super responsive to a WiFi glitch that was resolved within minutes. I would definitely come back here again.

We are three mother who have been friend for over 50 years, who wanted to treat our daughters and daughter-in-laws to a relaxing weekend...no husbands...no kids! From the moment we walked in the door, we all said" this is beautiful ". Everything and every room was so clean and ready to use! There was ample room for each one to be alone as well room to enjoy our gatherings while eating, playing games or just sitting and chatting!! The bedrooms and bathrooms were so tastefully designed with beautiful decor and color schemes. There were ample utensils, cookware, dishes and glassware for use.
