Please contact us with any questions or issues on the booking platform first unless urgent. We respond quickly. We are also available by phone and can stop by as needed as we are local. 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. Birds' Eye View beckons you to slow down, breathe the salt air, and live like a local. You may even decide to become one. Add to your wish list or book it right now! A starter supply of coffee, paper products, toiletries, dish soap, dishwasher detergent, laundry detergent, and other household essentials is provided. Depending on your length of stay and group size, you may need to purchase additional supplies. The home has a whole-house filter. Cleaning is available during your stay, and long-term stays are welcome. The coffee table on the deck is decorative and does not have an active fire feature. Two exterior security cameras monitor the front door and driveway. There are no other exterior cameras and no interior cameras. .

Maria was very communicative and helpful with local recommendations. The home is tastefully and thoughtfully furnished on a beautiful piece of property. While the weather kept us inside, we enjoyed all of the great sitting areas of the house. Perfect for a weekend getaway.

This place matched the listing as closely as anyplace we’ve ever stayed - was exactly as advertised. There were also some nice extras (s’mores kit, high-quality bath towels) that provided an extra touch. The kitchen is spacious and well appointed, always a plus. Recommend.

My family and I absolutely loved our stay at Maria’s Bird’s Eye View! The river views were stunning and set the tone for a relaxing and fun weekend, and the house itself was lovely and well-appointed. The beautiful natural light and views from inside made the hot August days even more enjoyable. We’d love to return in the fall to make even more use of the dock, fire pit, and sauna! The kitchen was well stocked for meals and grilling, and the welcome touches—including coffee—were such a delightful touch of hospitality. The amenities met everyone’s needs, too. From 3 to 70 years old, everyone loved the ping pong, puzzles, and comfortable bedrooms for naps and lounging. Being able to run down to the dock and hop into a kayak was such a delight! One bonus I was worried about: the mosquitoes really weren’t bad at all when we visited. No one can guarantee the bugs, but it’s worth noting. The location is great to quickly get into one of the nearby towns. Thank you for a great stay, Maria!
