Terrific getaway for college roommates

Needed a last minute spot to stay as another house rental had to be canceled last minute due to repairs, and Ruby was tremendously helpful and gracious in setting us up at this house on the river. Open kitchen to living room was great for hanging out, watching sports, and catching wonderful views of the outdoors. We loved the upper deck later in the afternoon, as well as the fire pit in the back yard. About a 10 min drive into town for food (Blue Crab) or groceries. All in all, a wonderful VRBO and owner.

Wonderful relaxing vacation!

This was a perfect spring vacation house for our family. The home is a great for a big group - plenty of space and well stocked. And the VIEWS are amazing! It was lovely waking up every morning to the sunrise over the river, and the kids had a great time kayaking and fishing. We also enjoyed getting into Williamsburg which was an easy drive, as well as the local winery. Host was great to deal with, very helpful in making suggestions for things to do in the area. Highly recommended!

Amazing House!

We had the best time at sunrise tides! Ruby was the best host I've ever worked with and we've stayed in numerous VRBO's. The house was well stocked including the kitchen and lots of toys in the bunk room closet for our kids to enjoy. As a parent it's nice not to have to lug all the toys from home. The sunrise and sunsets were magical. We look forward to our next visit at this amazing property.
