When you want to get away from everything Magnolia shores 2 acres of tranquility

Looking for the that special SUMMER VACATION. A place where you can enjoy time with family and friends. Magnolia Shores is calling you down to the Rivah. Close to home but a world away. This year we are offering two beautifully appointed homes, separated by a newly installed outdoor pool.

"Magnolia Shores" is comprised of two pristine waterfront homes that you'll have all to yourself. The homes are located on Back Creek near the historic town of Reedville, Virginia. From the upper deck of the two-story home, you can see the Little Wicomico River, which empties into the Chesapeake Bay.

When you're ready to come inside and relax. Each beautiful, appointed home offers four bedrooms and three baths. In house #1, three bedrooms and two baths are located in the upstairs living area. Downstairs you will find a fourth walk-out bedroom and bath. The downstairs game room includes a pool table, dart board and an air hockey game room. Outdoor games and equipment are located in the equipment room. House #2 has all living areas located on one floor. Enjoy your morning coffee on one of the decks and watch the wildlife in the tidal area. You'll spend the day creating memories as you, crab and fish off a private dock. Bring your own equipment or use ours. There are two paddleboards, two kayaks, two child kayaks and a canoe available. Imagine paddle boarding the quiet coves of Back Creek or kayaking the Little Wicomico River when the water is as still as glass. You can also bring your own boat or take a local charter and enjoy the splendor of the bay.

Magnolia Shores has two fully stocked kitchens, and you can also enjoy cooking and dining outside. Dining tables, and propane grills are available for fresh-air meals. After a long day on the water, enjoy the sunset with family, friends and a cocktail on the dock. As the sun sets and stars appear, gather around the fire pit. Remember what it is like to roast marshmallows and view the brilliant night sky, unspoiled by city lights.

Whether you are outside enjoying the yard games and the water or inside enjoying board games and modern comfort, there are activities for all. You'll also love taking the time to explore numerous local restaurants, attractions, historic sites and parks that can be found in Northumberland County. Let Magnolia Shores and the gorgeous surrounding area be your home away from home.
Take the opportunity to reserve Magnolia Shores for a family reunion or a gathering of friends that you have meant to arrange but could never find the right place. Magnolia shores is waiting for you.

This property served our needs very well. We had people aged 6 months to almost 91 years old and everybody enjoyed themselves. Plenty of space to be together or slip away for a nap. The owners were available and helpful whenever they were needed (not to mention friendly and generous with their hospitality - allowing us to pick some garden produce!). Highly recommend.

This was our second year vacationing at this property. The Owner does a good job...very responsive. Plenty of pool toys, grills, cooking utensils for all grills, a crab pot. Crabbing is great. Many fun inside games (our week was very hot). Takes care of pool and trash daily. Always upgrading the property. Enabled our multi-generational family to reconnect. It's great. Highly recommend.

Large Family Vacation

I have six children and four grandchildren. All but one made it to our week in Virginia at Magnolia Shores. It was a great vacation. Lori was wonderful. The two houses supplied EVERYTHING we needed from kayaks to games to toys to cooking. Don't worry about bringing life preservers.... there is every size needed available. ( and swimmies for the pool! ) Lori even supplied chicken legs to bait the crab traps that gave use dinner one night. It was secluded but ten minutes to a small store or dinner at a nice restaurant. The game room kept us busy when it was too hot or too rainy to be outside. TVs were in every room. It was better than home! There were many meeting places for the whole group and small areas for gathering too. Beds were VERY comfortable. Garden areas were beautiful and bright. Sand pit for the sand castle building crew. Fire pits for at night. Grilling and crab/corn steaming areas were used often. Lots of parking. Oh and the pool was great! Shallow end for the little ones, but lots of room for the adults. GREAT Vacation!

Peaceful property

WOW what a week we had!!! Weather was perfect and our stay was just wonderful. The house is as equipped as described (we usually travel with EVERYTHING….. no need here!!! The kitchen had it all!!) We kayaked almost every day the men crabbed everyday and did we feast on the crabs!!!! We utilized the pool everyday which was awesome… Fire pit at night or just sitting under the twinkling lights. We saw turtles hummingbirds herring and even a bald eagle a day. Tom and Lori are GREAT hosts…. Lori was there everyday taking care of the pool garbage/recycling the garden and was very informative of the area and property. Not much off the property to do (we did go out to dinner once…….& some loved their daily trip to the dollar stores) BUT to stay and enjoy was Incredible. Did I mention how peaceful it was!!! I enjoyed my coffee out on the dock every morning and it was so serene GREAT way to start my day!!! We would highly recommend this property!!! BIG THANKS Tom and Lori this was quite the memorable vacation for the family!!!

Great spot to relax

Magnolia Shores isn’t exactly in the middle of a bustling town BUT it has EVERYTHING you could possibly need to just unplug, relax and unwind. We are a large group that has stayed at many rental homes throughout the years. We’ve learned to bring things that most places don’t have or are not in good condition. We needed absolutely nothing for our stay. Lori and Tom have done a great job stocking these houses with every essential you could need. There were plenty of yard games and water toys. There was always something we could be doing from kayaking to crabbing and everything in between. The pool was awesome, Lori came to clean it every morning, which was a great added bonus. We crabbed all week and had a crab boil at the end of the week, which was delicious. We also enjoyed some of the veggies fresh from the garden. Several of us walked the neighborhood,daily. It’s peaceful and quiet. We were able to see lots of different birds, deer and even some goats on a trampoline. Lori and Tom were so quick to respond if we had a question or needed anything. This property is great for large groups. We had 20 people ranging from 4-40 and there was plenty of room. I would definitely recommend Magnolia Shores as a relaxing retreat. Thanks Lori and Tom! We made tons of memories and had a great first visit to Virginia.

Relax and enjoy all the amenities

Property on quiet river, beautiful views. Caught enough crabs to enjoy two times for those who are patient enough to pick. Kitchen well stocked. Pool toys, chairs, lounges aplenty. Beds comfortable. Paddleboards, canoes, etc. enough for all to enjoy. Two homes worked well for our multi-age family. Game room an extra plus. TVs in most BR. Come and enjoy.

Relaxing stay!

Lori and Tom’s property is great! Well stocked kitchen (including 2 crockpots, waffle maker, French press, electric griddle, & lots of drinkware). Lori came by each day to clean pool and asked for feedback on the rental. She was very responsive to our questions. The beds were comfy, the houses were clean. There is lots of outdoor seating, and we were told an outdoor kitchen is in the works. Guess we’ll need to come back next year! We spent most of our days lounging in the pool or kayaking on the river. And the rockers on the dock are perfect for first light/dusk with a cup of coffee! One drawback (or maybe a plus 😅): it seems like only Verizon service works in the area. Our group has AT&T and T-Mobile and didn’t have any cell service at house. But the WiFi worked great so wasn’t much of an issue for us.

Fun in the sun

This was by far the best rental property we have stayed at so far. The pool was great for the kids ages 1-7. It had a nice shallow end for the youngest and a 5 foot deep section for the more advanced swimmers. There were a ton of pool toys, swim vests and floats. There were enough kayaks, canoes and SUP that the whole group could have gone out together. Looking forward to the day that our kids are ready to go out for a paddle. There were lots of games and movies and a complete game room. Lori our host checked in with us frequently and was so helpful. Best host ever! We had great luck crabbing from the dock and actually had 2 crab feasts. It was very hot when we were there so we never braved the heat to fish from the dock but saw fish swimming as we went out to check the crab pots. We stayed in the guest house which was great for our family with young kids. Lori gave me a tour of the second house and it was beautiful. The two houses together would be a great place for extended families.

PERFECT VACATION

There were 8 of us aged 18 to 68 and everyone thought this was our best vacation ever. There was plenty to keep everyone busy and nobody wanted to leave to go check out other nearby attractions. Lori and Tom were excellent hosts. Lori cleaned the pool every morning so it was always sparkling clean even after it stormed. The pictures and description did not reflect how great the place was. There were all kinds of indoor and outdoor games. We used both daily. The kitchen was also very well stocked with everything needed to prepare meals. There was plenty of towels so we weren't doing laundry daily. Everyone had fun catching crabs and by the end of the week we had enough to steam. There was more than enough for everyone and the best part was that we caught all of them on the dock! Even though we go to a different state every year everyone agrees that they would like to go back to Magnolia Shores again. I highly recommend this property. It truly does have something for everyone. It won't disappoint.

Very relaxing. Quiet cove was a perfect spot to keep our boat for day excursions on the bay. The dock was well built and the water was deep enough to safely enter end exit. The view from the upper deck was great and there were fans overhead and shades to help with the hot evenings.

Magnolia Shores is the perfect place to stay if you're looking to relax from life's stresses. Upon arrival, we were pleasantly greeted and assured that this home was our home for the week. This beautiful house, immaculate throughout, came with all the amenities to gratify everyone in our party. There are plenty of water activities to choose from. One of greatest features of this property is the ability to go crabbing from the pier, and trust me, the catch is plentiful.

Lori is a fantastic hostess, who is attentive but allows you plenty of privacy. She's such a sweetheart! She showed us how to use the crab pots and had them in the water with bait when we arrived.
