Serene River Retreat w/ Private Beach & Dock!
Life is better on the river! If you’re in need of a Chesapeake Bay getaway, this Gloucester cottage offers endless relaxation. Feel free to bring your boat and spend the afternoons gliding along the Piankatank River and fishing the day away at Dragon Run. Sunrise on the beach never sounded so good, with a peaceful sandy shore waiting back at the 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom vacation rental. When it’s time to head in, the full kitchen and living room offer a space to spend quality time with loved ones.

Our First VRBO Stay
The property was so much fun. While you are about 18 to 20 miles out from everything, the commutes to our destinations were not a problem. It’s located on the Piankatank River and there are other homes surrounding it so you don’t feel like you are in the wilderness!! The riverfront is awesome and huge dock in the water.
The morning sunrises are just awesome and words cannot describe it. We enjoyed the fire pit one evening. The owner has done a nice job with items you need for your stay. I forgot my magnifying mirror to put on makeup and found one hanging behind the bathroom door.
While this is not the Ritz, and you like cottages, this is perfect.
We would definitely go back. Next time I would like to rent a boat. You see boats out on the water and we were curious where people go on the river!

Relaxing and cute
The property was clean and quaint. It had a great view and easy access to the river. It had everything available to make your stay comfortable and easy going. I would definitely go back with my teen boys who enjoyed fishing from the pier.
