Family vacation

This vacation house was perfect for our family. We loved the location. We enjoyed kayaking every day and fishing. It was nice sitting down by the water around the fire pit, after a long day. The game room was an added bonus. We can’t wait to come back again sometime.

We had a great time kayaking, fishing, catching crabs and eating outside with our family under the picnic table. We didn’t get a chance to use the firepit but we really appreciate that there are firewood available to use. The house is was perfect for my family. I’m glad that even though it’s an older home, the bathrooms and bedrooms were updated. My mom and sisters who came with us really enjoyed the stay too. The host were great and awesome too. Quick on responding too.

Relaxing getaway

My husband and infant twins enjoyed a relaxing stay in Reedville- the house is clean and welcoming and had everything we needed. The view is great and we enjoyed the kayaks. We enjoyed local seafood for dinner and a drive to kilmarnock. Hope to come back soon!

Stay in the Northern Neck

The house was great, especially for kids. Lots of toys and the bunk beds were a hit. We enjoyed the water despite the rain. It was walking distance to town with a few restaurants and an ice cream shop.

Great vacation place

Overall its a great place to stay. Just a few issues. The water pressure in both showers isnt very good (might just be the shower head as it has 100 holes) and the shower door in the main bathroom leaks at the bottom. We couldnt get the karoake machine to work, but the rest of the game room is awesome. The canoe and kayaking were awesome too and they have several life vests. Overall, we did enjoy our stay!

Only thing was the kids couldn’t swim. We went to a beach and water was overtaken by jelly fish. Of course this is not an issue with the house. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay

Fun spot that had it all

Nice sized older rancher with a neat retro vibe and full basement. The Game room kept everyone entertained during some rain. Big yard with water toys and a covered grill and picnic area. Great spot close with good water views and close to the marina our boat stays at. The host was always quick to respond and the house was well stocked for an easy and convenient getaway. Everyone agreed we would stay again, thanks!

Amazing Waterfront Getaway

Our family had an amazing stay at this wonderful house right on the water! The hosts/owners were very welcoming and responsive at all times. The views were absolutely wonderful and the house had everything you need and more! There are unlimited sources of entertainment inside and out! We were able to get out on the water and enjoy the views during the day, and enjoy plenty of games at night. The firepit by the water is a great place to relax and the grill under the carport with an oversized picnic table was perfect for outdoor dining! The crab pots were a great addition to our fishing adventures as well! Excellent service, beautiful views, and fun for the whole family! Thank you again for sharing your amazing home with us!

We were booked to go to OBX, but the snowstorm changed that...so plan B! Plan B was a fantastic choice...great place to chill out, drink wine, dance and relax by the bonfire! Hosts were very quick to respond to emails, the beds were comfy and the kitchen stocked! I'd love to come back (I live in Oregon) and bring my grandsons here this Summer!

Beautiful home and view

Our first time on the Northern Neck My only real complaint is beyond the homeowners' control but warrants a mention: There are days when the air stinks. Reedville is home to Omega Protein, a huge fish processor. When the wind blows the wrong way, and the plant is operating, the air is nearly unbearable, especially combined with heat and humidity. For us this was three days out of the week. Wasn't a problem on the weekend. Other than that, it was great. Property is pretty. Lots of birds, kayaking and swimming were great. We saw no jellyfish. House is comfortable and well-equipped. Only a few minor issues: master shower leaks onto the floor, air hockey table doesn't really work, and if there was a salt shaker in the house I couldn't find it.

Nice Secluded Waterfront Property w/ Private Dock

My family and I overall enjoyed our stay at this nice secluded waterfront property in Reedville. Things we really liked about the property was the private dock, big yard, and firepit area. The view at sunset from the dock was awesome! The property also included several kayaks and a paddle boat which we rode and enjoyed doing the most while staying there. Check-in and access to the house was very easy. The host was very communicative and provided detailed check-in information. The house itself was very spacious for my family of four and dog. We enjoyed the game room in the basement. One minor personal inconvenience we had though were the beds. Everyone in my family sleeps on firm mattresses but all the beds were either too soft or had foam mattresses that made us sink in to the beds. Another small issue was the slippery soft water from the faucet and shower which I could not get used to. I couldn't tell if I washed off all the soap on my body after taking a shower because the water felt so slippery like soap. Other than these two minor issues, this was a great property to rent if you are looking for a nice private, quiet, and relaxing family getaway!

Relaxing and Adventurous

Beautiful house bringing nostalgia with modern amenities; love the books, game room, showers, large kitchen, luxurious beds, colors and patterns in the interior. Gorgeous hydrangeas and magnolias and birds abundant. Dock was perfect, hopped in kayak and paddled several times a day. Easy! Fished and crabbed, even took Tangier Island cruise for boating bike riding and lunch. Really had everything! Hard to leave!

Lovely place and super generous hosts

My party of five went to Reedville to take the tangier Island day trip, and we LOVED this blue crab hideaway! For an older building it was superbly kept up, immaculately decorated and had EVERYTHING you could possibly want for a stay. The hosts are so generous to provide not only all kitchen/cooking essentials, but multiple kayaks/canoes and paddleboat for use, lifejackets, fishing poles, and (though we brought our own) even shower supplies and laundry soap, etc which I feel is above and beyond. I will say not a lot of restaurant and entertainment options in the area (open during the week) but a full kitchen and expansive game room sure goes a way to make up for it. 10/10 would stay there again ir recommend if going to Reedville.

The home was exactly as described. Just pack a bag and everything else is there. Fully equipped property in a quiet location. The only thing I will add is the master bed was smaller than desired, otherwise everything was perfect! We would love to return at another time when the temps are warmer.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this location. It was quiet and relaxing. The house was very clean with more than adequate amenities. You will find everything you need in the kitchen (coffeemaker with supplies, toaster oven, microwave, spices, washer and dryer). The beds were comfortable. The game room was a plus, along with the many books. E didn’t have a chance to use the fire pit, but firewood was even provided. I’m looking forward to returning with my grandchildren in warmer weather so they can enjoy the kayaks, paddleboat, crabbing and swimming. I would definitely recommend a stay at the Blue Crab Hideaway. We will be back!
