About this house rental

This rustic, beautifully decorated house sits high up in the trees overlooking the Rappahannock River and offers beautiful views whether you're sitting on the wrap around back deck, the benches on the dock, or down on the peaceful and secluded sandy private beach. You can get to the beach by stairs or taking a short stroll down the "nature trail" ravine (which our dogs love).

The interior is open, well-lit and beautifully decorated with artistic touches and inviting spaces. There's an office area, library, a baby grand piano, and a jacuzzi in the primary bedroom... everything you need for a relaxing escape from everyday life.

The house can sleep 12, but only 10 in private bedrooms. There is a queen bed in the loft master bedroom and adjoining master bath, 3 bedrooms on the basement level that leads outside (2 twin beds in one, 2 more twins in another, and a king bed in the third). There is a shared full bath on this floor as well. The main floor has a full bath and pull out couch that sleeps 2. The kitchen and dining room are well stocked and open layout - perfect for large gatherings with lots of food!

There are baby/kid friendly amenities as well like plastic forks, bowls, plates and cups in the kitchen. There are also baby gates, a baby walker on wheels, booster seat, highchair, and a pack n' play.

There are also dog friendly amenities including dog bowls and sheets to cover the couches.

We also have two kayaks, fishing poles, blow up floats, beach chairs, floating beach chairs, a beach umbrella and sand castle making beach toys to share!

** Note: there is no garbage service so we request that you take all garbage/recycling to a local facility (house binder provides multiple options) or we can offer to take it for a fee of $20

We had an amazing stay in White Stone! It’s close enough to the shops, grocery and restaurants in Kilmarnock and Irvington, yet extremely quiet and peaceful. The private beach was the highlight of our stay. The sand was really nice and not mucky at all. The water was wavy enough for boogie boards some days and calm enough to float in. There was a little bit of a walk down some steps towards the beach as we expected from the photos, which was manageable for us. We had fun fishing off of the dock and caught quite a few fish. We also enjoyed kayaking to the bridge and into the inlet. My husband even kayaked with some dolphins! The house was perfect for our needs and had plenty of space for everyone to spread out. We loved the rustic feel and large windows. As an added bonus it was really nice not having to do laundry on checkout day or to worry about having to purchase hand soap and toilet paper upon arrival. They were very nice to communicate with, flexible with check in time and cleaned thoroughly. Even though it is a pet friendly rental it did not have any pet odor as some do. I do recommend bringing some beach chairs if you have a few people and a queen foam mattress topper if you like a softer mattress. I miss the beach already! We are looking forward to booking again in the future.

What a gem! Our families, kids included, had an incredible time! We did not end up bringing our pups, but they would have loved it, too! The house had everything we needed and then some. Ample space for all. The main level was a dream. The office was my favorite room and I wish I could take it home. The views, private beach, and dock were our selling points and they did not disappoint! The beach is sandy, shallow, and perfect for kids, pups, and lounging in the water. Kayaks were a big hit, our boys used them daily. The dock had perfect tie ups to keep our boat. No major luck fishing off the dock, but not for lack of trying. We took the boat out daily and had luck with crappy, mackerel, and flounder. Only keepers were mackerel, which were absolutely delicious! Everything you could want/need, if not at the house, is within a 10-15 minute drive. Compass Entertainment was a fun find for mini-golf and go karts! The Sandpiper is a must for dinner and drinks! This property really is a gorgeous “tree house” dream. We can’t wait to come back!

The house has lots of rooms and space. There are plenty of pots, pans, and utensils. The bedroom upstairs does have a folding door. There is enough beach to enjoy. The water was also perfect for floating. If you want to get out of the sun, there is some shade in the afternoon under a tree. The family enjoyed the dock. We drove down the path to to load off and on our kayak, fishing poles, and a canopy. The canopy was great as the sun was hot on the dock. A few fish, crabs, shrimp, and jellies were caught. We rented a pontoon boat in Deltaville. It was a lot of fun and we were able to pull up to the dock. If you have children be sure to bring their life jackets as the marina doesn't supply life jackets for children. One day the family explored Kilmarnock and ate at the Inn. The food was delicious. Miss Mary's Seafood was the best! We had crabs, soft shell crabs, & shrimp.Be prepared for the steps. There are lots of them. There is a grill. It's a charcoal grill. Turns out my daughter and grandson do not like food cooked with charcoal. There is a large tv over the mantel. However, there is not a remote. It is the nephew for the play station. We were their during the world cup and watched every game. There are two sofa so brought in more chairs to watch the game. The family had a wonderful vacation. It was private but you are close to town if you need something. Everyone said they would stay here again.

The location is five Star! The house space is ample. There are numerous items (inside and outside) that need maintenance. I have never rented a home through Vrbo where I needed to take the trash with me. The homeowner was very responsive and willing to work with us. We did enjoy time as a family in the fresh air, on the water, and relaxing.
