Guest Access:
Guests have access to the entire property. The dock is private. Your unique door code is provided 72 hours prior to arrival.
The Neighborhood:
Virginia's Northern Neck is a peninsula surrounded by unique and beautiful marshes, creeks, and bounded by the Potomac and Rappahannock Rivers. You'll find many opportunities to explore out on the water. And Bird's Eye View is right on the Corrotoman River, a tributary of the Rappahannock, which flows out to the Chesapeake Bay.
Close to several mid-Atlantic cities, this vacation rental is the perfect place for gathering family or friends. At the end of a long drive, this retreat is perfect for decompressing. Launch our four kayaks, or bring the boat! For dinner you could throw some local oysters on the bbq, grill up some fish from your charter excursion, or cruise into Irvington for dinner at one of highly regarded local restaurants, each with a different focus.
A few more miles down the road in White Stone, be sure to visit Adrift. Fantastic restaurant with locally raised chef trained at the Inn at Little Washington.
Enjoy the sauna, firepit, outdoor swings, and ping pong table (smaller sized table). Then, get out there and see what there is to see. Small towns, scenic byways, friendly locals, shore birds, the Chesapeake Bay....it all awaits. Pick up fresh farm items at a local farmers' markets, stop into a few unique boutiques, and grab some house made donuts at Chesapeake Donut Shop in White Stone.
CULTURE
Fancy some culture not of the aqua variety? Visit the Rappahannock Art League in Kilmarnock, Allure Art Center in White Stone, or take in a show at the Lancaster Playhouse. The small by very interesting Steamboat Museum in Irvington is a must visit. The kids will love the Steamboat inside.
We even have an orchestra in these parts during the fall and winter. And for rainy days, head over to Compass Entertainment in nearby Irvington. This amusement center has indoor arcade games, putt-putt, a climbing wall, a movie theater with reclining seats, a bar, a restaurant, and more. Kids of all ages love it!
NATURE
You may also enjoy exploring the Northern Neck's many designated "Trails," such as the Oyster Trail, the Wine Trail, the Water Trail, the Artisan Trail and, not to be outdone, the Coastal Waterfowl Trail. Just a short list of the many things to do and see in the Northern Neck. So, relax here, where you are more likely to rub elbows with oystermen and artists than lawyers and lobbyists. Rathlin River Retreat beckons you to slow down, breathe the salt air, and live like a local. You may even decide to become one.

Getting Around:
A car is required here. Feel free to come by boat too! Bring bikes if you wish, it's very flat here and a great way to see the area!

Book a sailing charter to see the area from the water. We love Sail and Surf Adventures.
