Welcome to White Stone in the beautiful Northern Neck of Virginia! Our house is located on Windmill Point, at the mouth of the Rappahanock River on its northern bank, where it meets the Chesapeake Bay. We know you will enjoy your family vacation on the banks of the Rappahanock River. Here you will find a stay that is very private 2.5 acres of land, with 250 feet of water frontage, 150 feet of sandy beach, a half basketball court, corn-toss, fire pit, and plenty of room to play. We can sleep 10, we have three bedrooms (two with queen size beds, and a bunk room with two bunkbeds, and a futon. Two bathrooms, and a spacious outdoor shower.
From our beach, the river is five miles wide, directly across from Deltaville, and a quarter mile northwest of the Chesapeake. Our 2.5 acres of land boasts 250 feet of shoreline, a private sandy beach, a dock, a basketball court, and enough room to toss around a football, frisbee, baseball, lacrosse ball, or anything else that flies. We have two sea kayaks available for your use, as well as a paddle board, and you are welcome to bring your own sunfish, waverunner, windsurfer, or other beach toys that will enhance your vacation. PLEASE, if one of the paddles for the kayak or paddle board breaks, we understand accidents happen - let us know so that we can try to replace them in time for the next guests.
Guests should plan to bring their own umbrella and beach chairs. We try to leave 3-4 becah chairs behind after our visit each summer, but these chairs get destroyed by the weather, and are sometimes left on the beach overnight (which often leads to them blowing into the river during a storm). So we cannot guarantee you will have usable chairs. If you have usable chairs that we left behind, please try to bring close to the house at night and at the end of your stay.
No slimy sand on our beach – at low tide with the slow sloping beach an adult can walk 100 plus yards off the shore and still be standing. We often have schools of dolphins in the river, particularly during the late summer. Tall pines on the front yard (river facing) provide excellent shade in the afternoon if you need a break from the sunny beach to play a game of corn toss, or to set up the fire for the evening in the fire pit to sample some smores with the kids. CEnjoy your morning coffee on the outdoor patio, play card games on the front screen porch, take an overexposed picture of the spectacular sunsets, or just kick back with a cold refreshing drink and let the summer day just stretch on!
Walk to the Bar/Restaurant at the Marina to catch a live band on a Saturday night, head up the road to Irvington to catch breakfast at the Tide’s Inn, head into Kilmarnock for some antique and specialty shops. Hit the links at Golden Eagle golf course, about 10 country miles away (if you are used to waiting to take a shot at a crowded city course, prepare for having the course to yourself). Take a day trip to Busch Gardens, historic Williamsburg, Yorktown and Jamestown, Richmond (each between 1 and 1.5 hours), Virginia Beach (2 hours), or even Washington D.C. (2.75 hours). We know you will have a fantastic vacation at an affordable price.
Note, if you have stayed here before, there is currently no dock. The dock was destroyed in a storm and what remained was removed. We are working on getting a replacement scheduled.
