Waterfront vacation rentals in James River

Kendall was a great host. She took care of what I needed and was friendly and responsive. The house and location were great! Very private and perfect if you have a dog. We were very pleased. Thanks Kendall!

The Fish House is a beautiful and comfortable place to stay! My husband & I found it to be quite spacious for 2 people. The location was perfect; we were there from Sunday-Wednesday, and it was quiet and peaceful the whole time. It was conveniently located to Irvington, White Stone and Kilmarnock and all those towns have to offer! The A/C is brand new, and very effective against the Virginia heat and humidity. The kitchen had all the essentials for preparing food, and we appreciated the coffee & tea supplies that were provided! The bed is comfortable and we slept well. We spent a lot of time on the deck overlooking the water. As a bird watcher, it was so relaxing to view the local wildlife with the binoculars provided. Michelle is a wonderful host! Her instructions are clear, and checking in and out was easy. She also answered all our questions promptly, and thoroughly. If you are looking for a quiet, peaceful getaway on the Northern Neck, stay at The Fish House!

Such a great space with everything you need. You’ll enjoy your view in the comfort of the space. The view and the environment were great but having a place to be comfortable in was even better.

Super safe and beautiful gated neighborhood. Gorgeous setting. Quick drive to all things Williamsburg. Thanks so much, Lisa!

very cozy place nice people that go out of there way to makesure everything is perfect

Glenn is a great host. Friendly, helpful, flexible. Wonderful lawn that goes down to the river. Canoe and kayaks available. Fire pit with lots of free wood. Well equipped kitchen. Very quiet. We’d go back anytime.

Anne's place was just spectacular! Perfect for 2 couples as our home-base to explore Williamsburg, Yorktown and Jamestown. The high end furnishings are beautiful. The patio, yard and lake view were wonderful. We enjoyed the theater room each night. Thank you for a great vacation.

What a calm and peaceful private retreat! My fiancée and I spent a couple of days enjoying the brisk bay breezes and beautiful sunsets at Vickie’s. Everything was exactly as advertised and Vickie (and Scott) are true treasures—extremely responsive and thoughtful hosts who want you to have everything you need. Plus, their knowledge of the area gave us a great introduction to Leonardtown. So much more to the area than we thought! Whether birdwatching from “the best view on the block” or reflecting on the glider by the bay, we loved every moment of quiet and can’t wait to visit again. Thank you!

The property was lovely and had the most beautiful views. I first thought it was too small, but it was perfect! Stacia and her team were so responsive, and the property was super clean. We spent most of our time on the dock or deck, enjoying the view and the wild life. The kitchen had great space for meals and everything we needed. The basement was perfect for playing cards, and the pac man game was my sister’s favorite! What a great place on the lake!

Tyler & Erica, thank you for the use of your beautiful home. We enjoyed the peaceful setting by the river. God bless. Josh & Lori

Great place with a big yard and lake access felt very private. Great hosts would definitely stay here again

We had a wonderful 4 day stay at Dannie & Nancy's home. We are a family of 6: dad, mom, and 4 boys ages 3- 17. What we enjoyed most was how peaceful and remote the setting was. We saw a couple boats go by each day, but other than that and some wildlife (deer, various birds, and a baby bear were spotted!) we were totally alone. What sold us on this home vs. the others is the use of the canoe, kayas, paddle board and peddle boat plus all the various sizes of lifejackets. This made it so much fun for each person in our family to get out and enjoy the lake. I enjoyed paddling the kayak for exercise and enjoyment, and my husband and sons took various boats out to fish. They caught white bass, blue catfish (one pretty large), lots of bluegill, a shad, white perch, and several channel catfish. We really enjoyed being right near the water. We also made use of the firepit each night. Dannie & Nancy were always available when we had questions.

Amazing place with lots of privacy in the woods. Tou can hear the river flowing from the window and walk on the river side just outside the place.

SUCH wonderful friendly, and personable host!! We love Victor ;-). We (3 ladies) intentionally had a “relax our brain” peaceful weekend. There is so much to write. We enjoyed the peaceful, relaxing and comfortable stay. The decor is delightful; so welcoming! We loved the personal touches like the welcome note and fresh cut flowers. There were beautiful indoor real plants and amazing views from every angel! They also recommended local places to go. We enjoyed siping coffee in the sun room, giggling all night drinking wine and sunset views. Thank you for proving the best quiet place we could ask for. Our stay exceeded our expectations. We appreciate the details and your attentiveness!

We truly enjoyed our stay at the Colonial Beach Airbnb. The house is very cozy, well stocked, clean, updated and Carmen is a thoughtful host. The deck is a great area to relax overlooking the water and a few tried their luck fishing off the dock. Very nice!

Beautiful view and lovely house. Thoroughly enjoyed all the wildlife - lots of baby geese, ospreys in flight, woodchucks, bunnies and deer in abundance - loved it!!

Really cute place in a great area with super nice neighbors. Stay was comfortable. The kitchen was stocked with everything you need to cook. Bed was comfy. Bathrooms were clean.

Perfect for dog lovers and lake lovers! I’ve rented various condos at Smith Mountain Lake and several different ones at Stripers Landing, but Shannon’s place is now my new favorite. With a great view, plenty of space and the option to bring the pup - it’s such a treat. Highly recommend.

we had a peaceful and relaxing time. Kathleen's place is very clean, comfortable and has a great view. we hope to stay there again. thank you.

One of my daughters and I stayed at Matt's listing to just get away and be together. It was a wonderful stay! A very easy walk to a private and lovely beach area. Easy access to 2 great pools, a hot tub, sauna and even racquetball court. Our time inside Matt's space was equally as relaxing. Simple and comfortable decorations, all things desired were easy to find. Even had a dishwasher - that was a treat! It was great to have the top floor as the view was fabulous. Top floor did mean taking a few stairs, but that was not at all a big deal. We hope that Matt was satisfied with our stay, because we would LOVE to return (and other daughters are hoping they get to go :)!

This was a wonderful place to stay! Mary Anne was incredibly responsive and helpful at all times. The place and surrounding area was peaceful and relaxing. Would definitely stay there again and highly recommend!

The condo was very clean with all necessary essentials. We loved sitting on the porch watching the wildlife, especially the numerous ospreys. It is centrally located, only a short drive to historic Williamsburg, Jamestown and Yorktown. Plan for about a day at each to fully enjoy everything. The grounds of the resort are lovely and a great place to walk or ride bikes. Rodica was very easy to communicate with and was most helpful with all checking instructions, especially with our late arrival. We would definitely like to return.

We’ve stayed here several years in a row. Place is always spotless and welcoming. We love the corner unit. Very convenient for boat docking.

The view from the condo was stunning and beautiful, just like John’s photos online. The detailed directions and descriptions were very accurate. John welcomed us during check-in and thanked us when we left. It would be nice to have screens on the sliding glass door. Definitely would consider staying there in the future!
