Holiday rentals with a kayak in Virginia

Very roomy for a family vacation. Great location and covered porch was great for taking in views of river and enjoying summer breeze. Host was responsive and provided detailed instructions.

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!

We had a great time at Greg’s and Nicole’s place! I highly recommend it. We especially appreciated how well stocked the kitchen was, as it is somewhat rare to find when staying at a rental.

Had a relaxing few days at this cute cottage on the river. Lovely porch with a view. Very secluded but easy to get to all of Richmond's attractions. Bubba the donkey was very welcoming. We couldn't come or go without petting him!

This place is awesome! It rained most of the time we were there, but with all the amenities there was plenty for us to do around the house. The dock is awesome, and it’s on a nice, quiet, spot on the lake. We hope to be back in the future!

Cute and cozy, this house has unique and unusual features because of its age that make it an interesting place to stay. Loved the frog song from the wetlands in the neighborhood and the proximity to various waterways and scenic views.

My family and I stayed here for a week for our family vacation. We are a group of 8 (6 adults and 2 kids) and there was plenty of room for all of us. We barely left the house because with the beautiful view, dock, beach area, canoe, kayaks, hot tub, game room/ library, corn hole, and fire pit we all had plenty to keep us entertained. Everyone loved Mary & Shelly’s place, and it provided the perfect space for us to enjoy the river and each other’s company!

Matt and Tina’s home surpassed expectations on all fronts. This is an absolutely beautiful home on a quiet, and peaceful property. The entire property is one of the most beautiful I have ever seen, and is chocked full of amenities and led to an unbelievable weekend. The stand-out for me was the two-tier dock, it is very well done. Matt and Tina were incredibly responsive and generous with check-in times and catered to our large group well. Excellent hosts! Thank you for the opportunity to stay in such a wonderful home in Lake Anna, VA!

This was our 1st visit to The Crab Shack. All I can say is Wow, just Wow! This was the cleanest, nicest and cutest Airbnb that we have ever stayed at over the years! It was amazing! My husband and I traveled from Sarver, PA with our 2 Golden Retrievers to celebrate our 10 year Wedding Anniversary! We all had the best time ever! We spent most of the time here at the Shack just cooking on the grill and listening to music and the girls did a lot of swimming fetching for balls! Thank you Carlisle and Mary for making our 10 year Anniversary simply perfect! ❤️☀️😎🥂🍾🦀 We can’t wait to come back! ☺️

Joyce has done a phenomenal job with this lake house. Everything has been thought through. The house actually looks even better than the pictures. You can tell a lot of thought went into the decor. And it is super clean. The kitchen is fully stacked with everything you would need ant home or away. Ample seasoned fire wood and starter sticks makes using their MASSIVE fire pit a breeze. The best part is she gives you access to both of their docks and you will not have to take your boat or kayak out of the water once. We kayak fished Johnson’s and Lacey’s with ease from her house. 100% coming back to stay again.

My kids and I went for Memorial Day weekend and absolutely loved it!! The kayaks, dock and lots of sunshine. My children are already wanting to plan another trip 😊 Thank you for the wonderful memories!

Beautiful place to stay. Quite peaceful area with friendly neighbors. Home was cozy and welcoming. Kitchen had everything you could need. Amenities were amazing. Had a spectacular time would definitely come back to stay again.

Beautiful private beach access, with multiple things to do in the area, fabulous restaurants and shops. Easy drive to Virginia Beach boardwalk. Location is safe, friendly and with all the amenities you need to enjoy a perfect beach vacation.

We loved out time at this Bayside home. My boys spent outside upon hours at the little private beach, where the water doesn't really get deep for quite a ways and the waves were never very rough. it was perfect for them. we all enjoyed the hot tub, kayaks, comfortable beds. My personal favorite was the hammock right by the water, listening to nothing but the waves and the calls of the ospreys that made the area their home. Forget the overly built up touristy areas and give this place a try. You will not regret it.

We loved our stay at The Cottage! The home is rich with history, is so charming, inviting and so relaxing. The bikes and kayaks are a huge plus! Everything was great! We hope to return later in the year! Highly recommend!

Loved staying at this quiet retreat! Mornings listening to birds, afternoons in the sunny backyard, stars and stars! Really loved this place and will be back again.

Stay was great. Hike up to Crabtree falls was amazing. Definitely a great place to disconnect from the phone with no WiFi and connect to each other and nature . Beautiful property!

Exactly as advertised. She left wonderful recommendations for activities and restaurants. The town is close by and very nice. Had a great vacation.

We had a really nice time at the cabin. Everything was laid out very nicely and was ready for us the moment we arrived. The space is beautiful and right on the lake. It was extremely peaceful to sit in the large screened deck and hang out with the stunning lake in view. Hope to stay here again some day!

Words cannot describe the feeling of pure calm that comes over you when you arrive. This place is truly a treasure hidden in the woods. Once you cross the creek you leave the world and all your cares behind. The host pays attention to all the little details and it shows. We have stayed at quite a few places but this one is on our return list. We look forward to sliding up for a long weekend in the late fall or early winter. (Tip- be sure to spend 15 min reading the welcome package it is time well spent).

Stepping Stone was the perfect spot for a quiet getaway! The cabin was very clean and instructions to get in were easy. The kitchen was stocked with all the essentials for cooking, and the beds were comfy! The best part is waking up and enjoying a cup of coffee by the river and ending the evening with a fire. The hot tub was clean and felt great after our hike. I would definitely come back and/recommend Angela’s place to friends and family!

I believe this is one of the best places to stay in the area! We ended up extending our stay by another week. The neighborhood is safe and peaceful, and the neighbors are welcoming. The cabin itself is very very clean, beds, towels, and every corner felt spotless. The surrounding nature is beautiful and calming, and spotting deer nearby added such a cheerful touch for us as nature lovers! Have to say the cabin is more lovely than photos! We work remotely, so we were initially concerned about the internet, but it was completely reliable throughout our stay. The cabin feels like a private, cozy retreat, super comfortable and beautifully designed. There was even a storm during our stay, and while there was a short power outage, the roads were cleared quickly and power was restored in no time! Mark’s a fantastic host, very responsive and helpful with any questions we had. His clear instructions made everything easy. We’d absolutely come back if we’re back in the area!

Great adorable cabin close enough to Luray / Shenandoah to get around easily, but about 7 minutes outside of town, so far enough to feel peaceful and quiet! Very cute decorations and plenty of space for the two of us. Fresh eggs were delicious and they also provided wood/kindling for the outdoor firepit at a nominal cost. Hosts were quite responsive. It's at the end of a gravel road with 2 other cabins close by. A bit of a stale woodsmoke smell in the cabin which is unsurprising given the fireplace, but may bother people with environmental allergies.

This place is truly a rare find. The house is immaculately kept and is situated on a waterfall and nestled in the woods. It was perfect. Rhonda thought of everything and was so thoughtful and kind. We will be back!!
