Shore Fun – Waterfront Family Retreat on the Corrotoman River

Welcome to Shore Fun, the perfect getaway for family gatherings, adventure, and relaxation. Located on the sandy shores of the Corrotoman River, this spacious 3 bedrooms and 2 extra rooms with beds, 2.5-bath home offers everything you need for a memorable vacation.

Enjoy a large kitchen with gas stove and oven, cozy fireplace, game room with pool table, washer/dryer, central air/heat, and upgraded Starlink Wi-Fi. Step outside to a private saltwater pool (open early May–late September), hot tub, sand beach, firepit, and a 200' deep-water dock—ideal for fishing, crabbing, kayaking, or docking your boat. Kayaks and canoe are included, and yes—we’re dog friendly!

Nearby, Yankee Point Marina offers boat rentals, ramp access, kayak rentals, live music (summer weekends), a pool with snack bar, restaurant, and convenience store—all within walking distance. Take the free ferry into Kilmarnock for shopping, wineries, restaurants, art galleries, museums, and the Compass Entertainment Complex featuring arcade games, go-karts, ice skating, mini golf, and more.

Explore the river by boat and pull up to waterfront favorites like Merrior Tasting Room, Tides Inn, and Urbanna Seafood Restaurant & Raw Bar—or play beach volleyball at Windmill Point Tiki Bar. You might even kayak alongside dolphins or spot rockfish from the dock!
Please note: The path to the water is natural and uneven in places, with small stumps along the way. We recommend sturdy shoes and a bit of caution—but the view and water access are well worth it!
A signed rental agreement and government-issued ID are required. We welcome up to 2 dogs. Only dogs. Two outdoor security cameras are on-site. Motorboat not included in rental.

Our family had an amazing time here. Beautiful home with a lake view, kitchen and house was really well equipped. We had a great time on the dock fishing and crabbing, made some smores around the firepit. The pool was cold so we really didn’t use it, but will definitely getting a pool warmer next time in the future if we’re going back in late September. Other than that everything else went smooth. Cindy was a great host. Thank you Cindy! We will definitely coming back in the near future!

Something for Everyone

The home, property grounds and amenities were perfect for our fall family vacation. We were blessed with fishing fortune (caught crabs, drums, spot, perch, trout) which kept EVERYONE on the docks for hours, The water was calm so several enjoyed kayaks, boards and beach. Pool and hot tub were convenient and in good shape! There were plenty of beds for the family and spaces (screened porch, deck, pool room) to spread out. We were pleasantly surprised and look forward to returning again to enjoy the peace and fun. Thank you!

WOW What a Week

Shore Fun gave us a wonderful family of 12 vacation. We all had a glorious time. The pool was refreshing. The kyds really enjoyed it as did the adults. The house was roomy. The beds were comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped. The only thing that was not so great were the mosquitos. They did wait till 5pm everyday to invade so the screened in porch was fantastic. I highly recommend this property.

River Getaway

Beautiful home with ample space for a large family to spread out and enjoy. Well stocked kitchen and gas grill made cooking simple. The private dock was great, and the location on the river allowed us lots of fun boating with the whole family. Bring bug spray and board games as the cell service and wifi are a struggle. Also be prepared to take your garbage to the landfill as there is no garbage service. Overall the entire family enjoyed the house, pool and riverfront location. We would definitely return for another visit to shore fun!

Delightful Vacation

We had a wonderful stay at Shore Fun, although it was too short...wish we stayed longer. The house is beautiful inside and out. Everything is brand new. The kitchen is fully equipped, beds and furniture are very comfortable. The only set-backs were not figuring out how to use the DVD player in the living room and the house being a little warm upstairs. The air did not cool below 74 degrees. We hope to stay again next year! Thank you Cindy for sharing your home with us.
