Top Tidewater Hotel Reviews

Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites Tappahannock by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Everyone I encountered here was so nice, welcoming and treated my family like we were their own family. The hotel was nice and peaceful, the only “negative” that’s not really a negative was the TV/Internet seemed a bit dated but if that’s the complaint, that sounds like a win to me. The staff specifically would be the reason I make it my business to visit every time I’m in the area."

Modern Waterfront Retreat on 5 Acres w Pier, Kayaks, Fishing & Crabbing

10/10 Excellent

"This was a lovely very open space for our family gathering. Lots of space to spread out - areas in the house and outside to go if you wanted time to yourself. Had a number of boardgames in the house, as well as a hockey table. Great porch for relaxation.The host was very responsive to our questions. There were a few things we found around the house that could be added or corrected and I'm sure the host would not have a problem with doing that. Overall a lovely stay and we'd choose this place again."

Waterfront Retreat w/ Pool, Hot Tub, Dock & Sand Beach. Relax & enjoy the Rivah!

10/10 Excellent

"It was a great place to stay. Highly recommend!"

Beachfront Hideaway - Pet Friendly, Hot Tub, EV

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful property to relax in and enjoy the water! Hosts were welcoming and easy to communicate with. Especially enjoyed the kayaks and the hot tub. The views are amazing and the wrap around deck was perfect. Loved having our own private beach and dock. Would definitely recommend!"

House Right on the Potomac River - Great Sunrises & Sunsets

10/10 Excellent

"When you walk in, there's a sign that says "Our House Rules-relax, relax, relax" and the entire property is set up as an enticement to do just that. There are 6 distinct areas to gather to play games, eat more than you really should with everything you could possibly need to make it (byo sugar), watch tv, sit and talk/play pool, sit and watch the creek and swim/lounge by the pool. All of the rooms are full of interesting things to see and comfortable places to be, so if you want to be together or you want some private time, you are covered. The pool was fun and the kayaking was excellent.We kept busy enough with trips to The Enchanted Forest (and shoppping) in Warsaw, Stratford Hall, Garner's Product (the goats are so cute and I found several varieties of mint I don't have yet) and road trips to Washington DC and surrounding Smithsonian museums. We ended up spending one day relaxing around the house because of a huge thunderstorm and one day recovering from a DC sunburn. It was very low key, but an excellent way to recharge.There are several very nice wineries in the area, but I was disappointed that there were more I didn't get to visit because of their hours. I especially enjoyed the sangria at General's Ridge and the wine dog who came and let us pet him while we were enjoying our wine and charcuterie board next to the fountain in the courtyard at Ingleside, The house was wonderful and we would definitely return."

Relax & Renew in a WATERFRONT Cottage , private pier, kayaks, fishing, wineries.

10/10 Excellent

"I was extremely impressed with our experience. The place is quiet, accommodating, good for families with small kids, and has breathtaking views. Highly recommended!"

Cozy, Private Water Front Home with Long Pier

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful property on the water. For the past 8 years, my husband and his siblings, along with their spouses, plan a yearly reunion among themselves. We Could not have asked for a better location for a family get together. House is large and beautiful. Check in and out were super easy and host responded very promptly. Would highly recommend this property."

Waterfront Cottage On Candy Point: Family-Friendly and Dog-Friendly!

8/10 Good

"Overall it was a decent property for those looking to relax. The beds were comfortable and the house was clean. Getting the kayaks down the hill onto the beach was challenging. Not a lot of beach space when the tide comes in. Lots of jellyfish in July and we couldn't swim. The creek area was calm and it made kayaking easier. This was my first time renting a house on the river. Beautiful property with amazing views ."

Riverfront Home w/Dock · Fire Pit · Kids Play Area

8/10 Good

"Beautiful home with modern and updated touches. Very quiet property for a peaceful time in nature."
