Cute cottage on an acre lot facing the beautiful Chesapeake Bay in Ophelia, Va, near Reedville, Va. Our cottage has its own private fishing pier with lights, high speed internet, washer/dryer, pet friendly, and best of all 2 kayaks come with cottage, no charge.
This cottage was built in the 60's, has been renovated, has original kitchen, is very cute and clean. Has an outdoor shower plus an indoor shower. Has central air and heat. If you like to ride bikes, take walks on the beach, look for sea glass and arrowheads, bird watch, or just sit on the screen porch and read a book, this place is for you.
If you love to fish, we catch rock fish right off the pier. The pier is private, owned by the homeowners.. We catch catch flounder, spot, croaker and tons of other salt water fish. Dont need a fishing license to fish off pier.
********Bring your own towels and bed linens, 1 king bed, 2 twins and 1 bunk bed (2 twin sheets). We provide bedspreads, blankets and pillows. We provide toilet paper, trash bags, paper towels, napkins.
Do you enjoy the water, use our 2 kayaks (8' sit-on) and go exploring on the bay, 3 sandbars are in front of the cottage, it's fun to use the kayaks to go to each sandbar. There also fishing nets way out there, its fun to kayak out to them and see all the birds flying around the nets.
Where to Put in a Boat:
Our boat lift is off-limits due to liability reasons. If you tie your boat off to the pier, the water will push your boat up against the pier and will damage your boat along with our pier. You can anchor your boat in the water and walk out to it. If the boat is left on the sand, it is at a high risk of filling up with sand and water overnight.
The closest place to put in a boat is Cockrells Marina. 309 Railway Drive, Heathsville, Va 22473, cockrellsmarinerailway.net, 804-453-3560. It is located off Hacks Neck Road at Railway Dr and Wicomico Pt. Rd. I think it costs $10.00 to put in a boat and $10.00 to take out a boat. It will take you out through Smith Point Marina.Smith Pt Marina is about a 20 min. boat ride to our cottage. The water is rough in the bay...be careful a small boat would be dangerous from Smith Pt. to our cottage. Smith Point Marina, 989 Smith Point, Reedville, Va 22539, 804-453-4077.
Where to buy bait/tackle:
Food lion sells frozen squid, local gas stations sell blood worms. The best bait/tackle store is RW's Sports Shop located about 20-25 mins from cottage in Callao, Va They sell live spot, everything imaginable for fishing. Need fishing advise, RW's employees are the best for giving fishing instructions for all types of fishing on the Chesapeake Bay. 804 529 5634 1434 Northumberland Hwy, Callao, Va 22435
