3 Bedroom Cottage in Edwardsville, Heathsville

We bought this place during COVID as an escape from the city & pandemic. As we fixed it up, it quickly became our sanctuary... where we wanted to be all the time. And at 1.5 to 3 hrs from the DC, Richmond, and Newport News areas, it's easy to get to for a weekend getaway or vacation re-charge.
The Property
The one-acre property is beautiful, quiet, and peaceful, and every season brings its own natural wonders. Seeing and hearing wildlife is a given here--bald eagles, falcons, herons, egrets, dolphins, cow nose rays, deer, wild turkeys, foxes, beavers, and lots and lots of butterflies, dragonflies, birds, and wildflowers. As it faces north, you get unimpeded sunrise and sunset views over the water.
The Kozy Kottage lies right on the water, where the freshwater Potomac meets the saltwater Chesapeake Bay. Right across the water is Point Lookout State Park/MD, and to the east, you get clear views of the Chesapeake's Bloodsworth and Smith Islands.
The property has its own private sand beach--the size of which ebbs and flows with currents and tides. The shoreline is shallow and is fantastic for little kids to frolic and play. As the water doesn't get more than 5-9 feet in this section, it doesn't get too cold, and the currents are mild. It is a great place to hang out with your feet in the sand, enjoy the surf sounds, go kayaking, get some vitamin D, and stargaze.
(Please be aware, just as the size of the beach can change with the Chesapeake Bay tides, sometimes the tides can also bring in jellyfish--which can be annoying but, are also one of nature's great wonders.)
The Kottage
The Kozy Kottage is from the 1930s and was one of the first built on this section of the Chesapeake Bay/ mouth of the Potomac River. While we've renovated the Kottage, we kept the knotty pine interior to maintain its historic, rustic feel. The wrap-around screened-in porch just completes the rural cottage vibe.
The Kottage has two bedrooms and a loft with overflow sleeping space with an arm chair and a TV (great for kids or a rainy day lounge area). We intentionally put the TV upstairs and out of "sight".
The living room has comfy couches and a large (1m x 1m) coffee table from Guatemala that is great for board games, cards, drawing, or just putting your feet up.
The kitchen is eat-in (up to four people), has a large fridge and freezer, and most everything you will need/want. We used to live here part-time, so the kitchen is well-equipped.
Both the kitchen and the bathroom are upgraded, and there is an outdoor hot-water shower (closed in for privacy) to rinse off the saltwater and sand after beach time.
The Location
While easily accessible, this Northern Neck property is a bit off the beaten path. It's about a 15-minute drive to the Heathsville Food Lion and between 15-45 minutes to local restaurants and wineries (many award-winning, by the way!).
The property has cottages on either side, but the lots are big, and the neighbors come and go quietly. They, too, come here to relax and enjoy nature.
There is little to no traffic in this area, and it is mostly farmland, so it's great for biking and taking long walks in the rural countryside.

Summary: Our stay was wonderful. Cottage is beautiful and so close to the ocean. The view from the screened porch was breathtaking. I was very impressed how clean and organized the cottage was. Anything we needed was there plus extra touches: s'mores kit, popcorn etc. I can go on and on. Communication with the manager was great, response to any questions were answered immediately. All of this together made the most pleasurable stay. I highly recommend renting this property. Edyta

Summary: I took my family of four to the Kozy Kottage for the long holiday weekend. It was the best getaway for our family, and our children enjoyed the private beach area. The owner has thought of everything to make this a very comfortable and relaxing stay. The amenities, little touches of hospitality (i.e. smore kit, beach chairs, towels, outdoor games, etc) was much appreciated. We will certainly return in the future.

Summary: This was our second stay at the Kozy Kottage and once again we had a fantastic time at this charming house on the water. Kara makes the entire check-in/check-out process so smooth and simple and she went out of her way to give us additional recommendations for what to do in the area based on what she knew we were interested in. The house is clean, kozy, and truly the perfect location for a getaway on the shore. We had a great time lounging on the beach, watching all the incredible wildlife, and gazing up at the stars at night around the fire pit. We’re planning to make a stay at the Kozy Kottage an annual tradition and I would highly recommend the house to others as well!

Summary: This was our second time at the Kozy Kottage, we absolutely love it. You couldn't ask for better hosts or a better place to stay. Everything is clean, comfortable, stocked with all you need, and cozy. Our 20 month old daughter enjoyed the water, giggling at it "chasing" her and throwing rocks in. It was perfect. We enjoyed the fire and smores this time, such a treat. We used the grill, ate on the porch, lounged in the hammock, and enjoyed all the wild life. Our daughter got to see a frog, a lizard, so many birds, rabbits (incl. a baby one), and multiple herons. This time we also went to the farmers market in Heathsville, which we really enjoyed, and we went down to Reedville - the icecream place there was amazing! We were sad to leave. It was a perfect, peaceful, beautiful, vacation. Hope to come back again!

Summary: As a previous reviewer stated, I wanted to give this property zero stars so no one else ever comes here. The Kozy Kottage was truly a dream - clean, comfortable, and the location could not have been more amazing. My husband and I stayed here for four nights with our two boys ages 10 and 9 and every day we all commented on how it was the best. Some highlights: most comfortable beds and pillows of any rental we've ever stayed in, SUPER clean, wildlife (bunnies, dolphins, seahorses, crabs, quail, osprey, herons, turkeys), amazing views of both the sunrise and sunset, the screened in porch, kid kayaks provided, great communication from the property manager, we were there during a very hot week and the AC worked great. A few things to know (BY NO MEANS COMPLAINTS): no dishwasher or icemaker (but the bin in the freezer perfectly holds a 7lb bag of ice from Food Lion); the sand is a little on the coarse side - my boys were fine but if you have little ones/sensitive feet you might want to bring water shoes

Summary: We loved the peace and comfort of this wonderful home! The neighborhood is really quiet and the view absolutely breathtaking. There was a small sandy beach with calm waters and we were able to catch crabs using their crab pots. Just wonderful!

Summary: For 2 busy professionals, staying at this property was restorative, delightful and invigorating. We stopped by a local farm, rode bikes & played golf, rose to the sunrise over the water and took sunset photos on the dock (embarrasing but true) and enjoyed the local crab/seaside fare. It is a casual, rural setting with every detail considered and amazing host communication. A+

Summary: The house is very comfortable. Kara the property manager was extremely responsive. We were very lucky and had the perfect weather and days on the river. We brought our own kayaks, made s’mores, ate all meals on the screened-in porch, and one night out at the Crazy Crab. We used the gas grill on the other nights. The boys used the outdoor shower and the girls used the inside shower. Made it easier for sharing one bathroom and keeping it clean. The outdoor hammock was also a nice place to relax! We hope to return next summer or even at the end of the summer!
