Riverfront Cottage w/ Private Beach Near Wmsburg

The Bay View cottage sits high up on the banks of the James River giving you an amazing view across the river of historic Jamestown Island. The home is located on the James River with stairs down to your own private beach to relax and enjoy. Spend time fishing, kayaking, swimming, or just sunning on the beach. Lots of shells, fossils, and even shark teeth line the beach to collect and take home. The home is clean, comfortable, and private.

The owners are located nearby in Williamsburg and the cleaning/maintenance crew is nearby the home to assist with any needs during your stay.

Home is located along the James River. It is down a private road that leads to a small row of homes located on the bank of the river. We are the last home in the small group, so you have a good bit of privacy.

Guests will have full access to the home.
Custom door lock code will be provided before check-in.

The river is fairly shallow near the beach, no steep drop-offs, and suitable for swimming, fishing, and enjoying. We recommend water shoes of some sort as there are shells, fossils, small river stones, and other natural river items (mostly near the water line).

The home is accessed by Bay View Place, a private dirt road shared by a few other homes. This property is the last home on the road. You can park on the property behind the home or under the carport.
