Wander Cape Charles
second time staying here and it was better than i remembered. the house itself is incredible.. huge kitchen island for entertaining, immaculate bedrooms, and that back window wall is just spectacular. 10/10 vibes, love this place!

Cozy craftsman barn near the bay!
Very cozy Airbnb that felt like you were in the country with a nice big beautiful yard but right around the block are the stores! Kinda made me wanna look for a place to buy even though not a city girl. Me and my 3 large dogs enjoyed the stay and it was perfect for what I needed and priced just right! I love that you can close and lock the gate and let the babies run free for a quick potty or play! Thanks again yall!

Surry Homeplace
We really enjoyed our stay! Check-in was easy and they left the lights on for us, so it was easy to find in the dark! We were looking for a place to stay near the Surry Seafood Marina and this was very convenient. The fenced in back yard was so great to have for our dogs! They loved all of the different terrains within the fence. The refrigerator and freezer are a nice size to bring your own food and make your own meals. And there is a Dollar Tree, Dollar General, and Family Dollar right around the corner if you forget anything. We will be renting this place, again!

Secret Garden Studio
My wife and I were extremely happy with everything about the studio. It was a cute little studio that had a comfy day bed and tv in one area, while the other area had a bathroom with a washer and dryer. Everything was super clean and all instructions were clear and easy to follow. Wynn and her dogs were super friendly as well! I will be recommending this place to friends!

Centrally Located Sleek Studio Apartment
Steff's place is great! This is our 4th year staying here on our way down to the beach. She thinks of everything you may need for your stay and responds quickly to messages. she eveneaves treats for the doggies! Highly recommend!

Historic Capitol Landing 3BR/2Ba home
This house and property is really special. It is a beautifully maintained and renovated old house, and has great views of the woods and the creek. We enjoyed evenings on the beautiful porch taking in the views. The house itself was well appointed and clean, with minimal/essential furnishings. A few other reviews did mention the noise from the highway and it is true—though it did not disturb us except for in the night, when an occasional loud truck might pass. It was a great base for my family and two small dogs to explore the local sights. Would definitely consider staying here again.

Relax! Refreshing 3 bedroom Rancher
E’s place was great for our long weekend getaway. The neighborhood is very quiet and is great to walk around. I have a dog so the place was great for her. Overall, a great place.

The Cozy Cottage At Grateful Meadows
Words cannot describe how wonderful our stay was. The location, the accommodations, and the ‘residents’ of Grateful Meadows were absolutely magical. We really enjoyed our time there, and are extremely thankful we found it. Such a great experience, thank you!

Positano Villa
We had an amazing time. The house was perfect for us. We really enjoyed the pool and short walk to the beach. We could hear the ocean from the master suite. The upstairs deck had view of the water. Everything about our stay was perfect. The area was nice and was quiet and peaceful. We will definitely go back and stay longer next year. Thank you!!!

Rivah View
Relaxing, well-kept property and house with a view. Plenty of good food in next town over. If you haven't been to Northern Neck, stay here and enjoy some peace and quiet.

Beachfront Exclusive Bay front Suite
My daughter and I stayed only one night unfortunately. It was a breeze for my first Airbnb stay. Donna was very responsive and clear about directions to her place and the three ring binder in the bedroom has all the info and instructions about your stay. Highly recommend staying here we will be back for a longer stay. Thank you.

"The Little Red Cabin" aka The Galley
We had a wonderful peaceful weekend at the little cabin! Beautiful view of the water and right next to the beach was why we were drawn to this location. There was perfect space in the living room to set up our baby’s pack and play. The AC unit kept the whole house cool which was nice to beat the heat outdoors.

Moss Side Manor
House and ground were beautiful! The vast estate was very well manicured and well kept. It was a unique house being 160 years old and having the kitchen in a separate house but did enjoy the time era furniture. House had been updated and was done well. Fireplaces in all rooms was awesome even though we only used the one in the kitchen as the pilot light wasn’t lit in the others. House had all of the items needed for a vacation and we would go back in the future if we are in the area.

Camp Rappahannock - Deltaville Waterfront Living
We had an amazing stay at Camp Rappahannock to celebrate our mother’s 90th birthday and a family thanksgiving. The house is thoughtfully outfitted and the kitchen had everything we needed to cook our feast. The location was just perfect, beautiful setting and so relaxing. We hope to visit again!

Mystic Seahorse Cottage & game room
Mystic Is a quaint, clean and welcoming houae. All details from pictures to knick knacks create a complete theme. Instructions were easy and thoughtful. Communications were prompt and thorough. This home and its owners create a perfect sanctuary.

Serene Sauna Retreat + Chefs Kitchen + Luxury Bath
This home was the perfect fit for our large group of 14. We stayed over the Christmas holiday and the place was very accommodating! Larkin was very responsive and helped out immediately with any questions we had. The kitchen was fully stocked and all the beds were comfortable. There were plenty of towels and blankets, dishes, etc. for our entire group. The location is a small quaint town. The Blue Crab down the street had some delicious food but other than that there isn’t much around so you definitely need to hit up the store. The Food Lion is less than 10min away for groceries. Williamsburg is 30min away and Yorktown about 45min away- we visited both towns to explore. Overall a marvelous stay!

Your guide to Williamsburg
All about Williamsburg
Located near the Chesapeake Bay, Williamsburg was the capital of the Virginia Colony from 1699 to 1780. A century ago, John D. Rockefeller funded the restoration of hundreds of 18th-century buildings, and Colonial Williamsburg has since become a massive outdoor living-history museum. With hundreds of buildings to wander through, not to mention historical re-enactors to observe and craft shops to pursue, this getaway lets you immerse yourself in Colonial America. Remain in the past by attending Revolutionary War re-creations in Yorktown and exploring archeological sites in Jamestown, both a short drive or bike ride away. If you need a break from tricorn hats and petticoats, you can rent a kayak to explore the water trails surrounding Williamsburg, or seek out the area’s many golf courses, the Kidsburg playground, and chartered sailboats.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Williamsburg
Williamsburg is a year-round destination, with mild winters that rarely see snow, but the most comfortable times of year may be spring (March through early June) and fall (September-October). Springtime temperatures hover in the comfortable 60s and 70s Fahrenheit, and while June is the rainiest month of the year, the rains are far from constant.
Summer temperatures average in the high 70s and 80s Fahrenheit from May through August, and the humidity spikes during those months as well. Unless you’re determined to explore the city in period attire, light clothing will probably serve you well. The temperatures drop into the 50s Fahrenheit around October. From late November through February, chilly weather may shorten your time in the outdoor exhibitions, but it won’t stop them.
Top things to do in Williamsburg
Jamestown
Just 7 miles from Williamsburg, Jamestown is the site of a British colony founded in 1607. At the Jamestown Settlement Museum, you can board replicas of the ships that brought colonists to North America, or wander around a re-created 17th-century fort and Powhatan village, chatting with actors in costume. Not far away is Historic Jamestowne, where you can tour an archeological dig and watch glass artisans at work.
Freedom Park
History is everywhere in James County, including this 600-acre park, the site of a Revolutionary War battleground and one of the first free Black settlements in America. It also has 20 miles of biking and hiking trails, as well tree swings and zip lines.
Little Creek Reservoir Park
If you need a break from the historical sightseeing, escape for a day to this 1000-acre park to the north of Williamsburg, which is centered around a placid reservoir whose tendrils extend in many different directions. A one-mile walking tour circles the reservoir, but most people spend their time on the water: You can rent a canoe to paddle around its shoreline or a motorized boat to search out hidden coves where you can fish for largemouth bass, saugeye, and black crappie.
