With accommodations for 10, the Getaway is an ideal location for cozy to large families or multi-family vacations.
Step onto your private white sand beach, where you can enjoy swimming, fishing, crabbing, birdwatching, and kayaking or paddleboarding. The warm sand beckons you to unwind and soak up the sun's warm embrace while relaxing with a good book.

Guests will find beach chairs, a canoe, life jackets, and miscellaneous beach equipment like noodles, rafts, etc. for their use during their stay at the Getaway.
For a day of adventure explore the surrounding area with a trip to historic Yorktown just over the bridge (4 miles), cruise the scenic Colonial Parkway to Colonial Williamsburg and Jamestown (18.2 miles), spend the day at Busch Gardens (17 miles) or get in a round or 2 of golf at one of the many gorgeous courses the area has to offer!
Whip up delicious meals in the beautiful recently renovated full kitchen, equipped with all the essentials including double ovens, refrigerator, ice maker, dishwasher, and microwave. Plenty of cookware and kitchen gadgets including a drip coffee maker and a Keurig, a blender, a griddle, and lots of little extra kitchen gadgets.

If you’re looking to grill out a charcoal grill is available too. We include some basic staples to get you started including some paper products, some dish soap, and of course fresh linens for the beds and bath towels.
Traditionally available for weekly rentals, we also offer flexible arrangements for weekend getaways or split-week stays, perfect for accommodating your family or friends visiting from out of town. Why settle for the ordinary when you can experience the extraordinary at the Getaway River House with Private Beach?
