About this property

Renovated River House l Private Beach and Dock l Unforgettable Views<br>


Fully Renovated River House
Welcome to Sunrise View, a truly amazing place to relax and enjoy the River! Unwind and put your feet in the sand while you feel the coastal breeze in your hair. You could not be any closer to the water at this house! We sit on a peninsula where the house was built on pillars just feet from the water. You would swear you were on the beach relaxing in the sand that extends out into the river!

The House:

1600 square foot house. It is built on piers that sit 15 feet in the air. We have a massive screened-in wrap around porch with tons of seating. The kitchen is completely stocked with all cookware you need to prepare any meal.

The master opens to the deck, making it convenient to step outside with a cup of coffee to watch the sunrise over the river.

Master: 1 King

Guest 1: 1 King

Guest 2: 1 Queen, 1 Full (trundle bed)

Outside:

Enjoy a private 175 foot pier for fishing or relaxing. Bring your boat or jet ski, because we have a private boat ramp for smaller boats ( check dimensions to make sure it fits under the house). There is also a marina that is 10 minutes away if you have a larger boat to launch and tie off to our 150 foot dock.

We have a gas grill and two tables to enjoy a riverfront dinner. Because the house it built on pillars, you have 1000 square feet of covered space underneath to relax. This makes it easy to beat the heat while outside having fun. Once you are done playing in the water, wash off in our outdoor shower that has hot and cold water.

Games, Toys, & Other Amenities:

Provided for your enjoyment are 2 stand up paddle boards, fishing rods, crabbing equipment, 2 kayaks (with kid and adult fitting life vests), small kid sized boogey boards and lots of kid’s beach toys. In addition, we provide a corn hole set and jumbo sized Jenga.

Our Town:

Tappahannock is one of the hidden jewels of Virginia. Come find out why retirees and sport enthusiasts flock to our area! Enjoy shopping or dinner out at several award-winning restaurants.

You have not lived until you have had a burger and shake from award winning NN Burger! If restaurants are not your thing then try your hand and catching your dinner from our dock or pick something up from Food Lion or Walmart, both are 5 minutes from our house.

For those that enjoy a game of golf, bring your clubs and book a tee time at the #6 best golf course in Virginia, Hobb’s Hole is just 8 minutes away.

You can also experience 10 award winning wineries on the Chesapeake Bay Wine Trail (by charter boat or a short drive), just minutes from our home, or find out how fresh seafood really taste on the Virginia Oyster Trail. Plan an excursion to the birthplace of Robert E. Lee or George Washington, both a short drive away on the opposite side of the river.

Security Cameras:

We have Ring cameras only on the front and back of the house for your protection and ours. There are no cameras inside the house, under the raised house or on the covered porch.

Relaxing, view

View of bay from porch is perfect, weather didn’t cooperate with our visit as a cold front came through. Inside of house very updated and clean. Not much to do in Tappahannock, but several good restaurants. This is a place for relaxing.

Beautiful property and location!

We stayed for a week for a family reunion. Great place for young kids and adults alike. Lots of great amenities like the kayaks and paddle boards. The sandy beach was a hit with kids and the water was calm enough for them to enjoy as well. Dock was great for the fishermen for the family. Great place for relaxing.

We can't wait to come back!

We had a wonderful weekend away on the river and would definitely like to return. The house was very clean, comfortable and spacious. There was a lot of shaded outdoor space on the porch and below the house. the view of the river was amazing. The kids loved all the beach toys that were provided.

Everything you could ask for

They literally have everything you need, just pack your clothes and enjoy! The location was very quiet the week we were there so we basically had the beach and river to ourselves. The fishing and crabbing were also great. We can’t wait to come back next year!

Peaceful fun

What an amazing place to stay. We arrived with our boys (4 & 7) and immediately dug into all of the fun toys/activities the home has to offer. After long days of swimming, fishing, kayaking and crabbing, the home is a perfect spot to rest as a family. Fully stocked kitchen for cooking meals, and lots of great space to lounge. Not much to do in town, but if you don’t care about that, this place is perfect.

Great river house!

We enjoyed all aspects of this house, beach, and dock! The house and location was perfect, just close enough to town but far enough away to be a quiet area! The house was well stocked inside and out! Our boys enjoyed the paddle boys, kayaks and fishing off the dock! I highly recommend this house and the owner was great to work with and easy to communicate with for any needs!

Beautiful and relaxing

I can't say enough good things about our stay! The house was beautiful, clean and well stocked with everything you could possibly need. Great fishing off the dock, my husband even caught a sting ray. The beach was wonderful to relax and tan. Did see a few jellyfish in the water during our stay. We spent most of our time on the beach, under the house in all the chairs and hammocks, and in the screened in porch! We will definitely be back.

We live semi locally, but my mom was coming in from Indiana for her first visit to Virginia. We all had a wonderful stay and even though it wasn't really beach weather, we had the best time in the sand and in the house.
