A BIT OF HISTORY ABOUT THIS PROPERTY: The property is located within Remlik Hall Farm. Originally owned by millionaire, Willis Sharpe Kilmer, who came to town in 1909 and built a 32-room Tudor Mansion on the original 1,000-acre farm. Soon after he arrived, West Urbanna Wharf was renamed Remlik Wharf (Remlik is Kilmer backwards). The marina is now called Remlik Marina and can be seen across the waterway from our home. Mr. Kilmer owned a few famous racehorses, one of whom was named "Sun Beau" (which our street is named after - this roads extends off of Race Track Road). A short walk down the road and you will see some cattle grazing on the property. Mr. Kilmer was owner of the racehorse named Exterminator, winner of the 1918 Kentucky Derby. He was the breeder and owner of Sun Briar, the largest money maker until Seabiscuit in 1939.

Urbanna Waterfront Retreat
My family has vacationed in many different places over the last 45 years and accommodations have included hotels, condos, resorts and beach houses from Florida to Virginia. Since my retirement several years ago, we decided to avoid the hustle and bustle and return to my roots as a "river rat" (having spent my summers on the Potomac River) with a more laid-back vacation experience in similar surroundings near the Rappahannock River. My daughter found the Kelly's river house near Urbanna on VRBO and we decided to give it a try. It could not have been a better decision. The Host's thought of everything and more.
The house was immaculate, amazingly well furnished and exactly as presented in the VRBO description and photos with everything you need to have a relaxing visit. And as my teenage granddaughters will attest, the inground pool is fantastic. It is truly a home away from home, and the Kelly's were the perfect hosts responding quickly to any questions we had. We had a great time and will, hopefully, return in the future.

What an amazing vacation spot for your family
The pictures do not give this property the justice us deserves! Such an incredible place to vacation with your family.
The house is beautiful, the view is amazing and the pool is just icing on the cake!
The hosts were so accommodating and thought of everything to make our stay feel like home. They went above and beyond!
This is a boater’s dream area. So quiet, you feel like you have the River to yourself. We brought our boat and had an incredible stay.
Our highlights: the kids fishing off the dock, crabbing, paddle boarding, night swimming in the “purple pool”, teaching our kids to play pool in the game room at night. No need to ever leave the property but if you do, the town is charming!
My daughter proudly wore home the “I love Urbanna” pin the owners graciously gifted. So many memories made! Can’t thank the hosts enough.
Only suggestions: one TV for our family was a little hard, would have loved to see one in the game room. If bugs love you like they do me, they will carry you away! Not sure what could be done about that except for maybe spraying, but the screen porch really helped.
Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Dolphins in the Creek!
Our family had an amazing time at this property. The house was spotless and met all our needs for a quiet week of relaxation. The owners were very responsive to our questions and even added a children’s kayak after learning that our family of four was interested in kayaking on the river during our stay. They also took care of so many little things that we’re not accustomed to in homes that we’ve previously rented. Soaps, paper products, kitchen essentials, it was all there. The pool was an excellent size for swimming laps and having fun and the pool table was an added bonus when we wanted to get out of the heat. While there is a marina across the creek, there was very little noise or boat traffic. Our kids were probably the loudest thing around.
Our week came to a close with a nice surprise. We had just gotten into the water for a morning kayaking adventure when we were visited by a school of dolphins. We spent about 30 minutes with dolphins swimming around us. Definitely a highlight of the trip! If you’re not into boating or kayaking, the dock still provides a nice spot to watch the sun set (or check for dolphins).
The house sits on Remlik Farm, which has an interesting history. You can take a walk or a drive around the roads of the farm to see remnants of the old horse farm and race track. While you’re definitely off the beaten trail, we felt safe throughout our stay. We even ran into the local Sheriff patrolling the streets of the farm while we were taking a walk an
