Private sand beach on Chesapeake Bay-Great for Kids-Sunrise/Sunset Views | Cottage in Heathsville
3 Bedroom Cottage in Edwardsville, Heathsville
Welcome to The Kozy Cottage
We bought this place in 2020 to escape the madness of DC during COVID. As we fixed it up, it quickly became our personal sanctuary—a quiet retreat where we wanted to be all the time. Located 1.5 to 3 hours from DC, Richmond, and Newport News, it is an easy drive for a weekend getaway or vacation recharge.
The Property
The one-acre property is quiet, peaceful, and offers a clear view of nature in every season. Because the lot faces north, you get unimpeded views of both sunrise and sunset over the water.
The cottage sits right where the freshwater Potomac River meets the saltwater Chesapeake Bay. Looking across the water, you can see Point Lookout State Park in Maryland, as well as Tangier, Bloodsworth, and Smith Islands to the east.
Seeing and hearing wildlife is a regular part of staying here. Guests often spot bald eagles, falcons, herons, egrets, deer, wild turkeys, foxes, beavers, groundhogs, dolphins, cownose rays, and a variety of birds, butterflies, and wildflowers.
Outdoor Amenities & Beach
Private Sand Beach: The beach size ebbs and flows with the tides and seasons. The shoreline is shallow with minimal current and comfortable water temperatures, making it a great spot for kids and adults to play, wade, or kayak. (Please note: like most Bay beaches, tides can occasionally bring in jellyfish. They too are wonders of natures)
Waterfront Fire Pit: Located right near the water, with complimentary firewood provided for s'mores-making, stargazing, or relaxing.
Eco-Friendly Grounds: We do not use fertilizers or pesticides on the property. We support local ecology by allowing a natural meadow to grow around the property edges, using native plant soil erosion controls along the shoreline, planting pollinator-friendly species, and removing invasive plants. The lawn is natural and unrefined rather than golf-course style.
The Cottage
Built in the 1930s as a hunting lodge, The Kozy Cottage was one of the first homes built along this section of the Bay. It's almost 100 years old! While key areas have been renovated, we kept the original knotty pine interior to maintain its historic, rustic feel.
Layout & Features
Screened-In Porch: A wrap-around screened porch offers a comfortable place to sit outside while keeping bugs away in the evening.
Bedrooms: All sleeping areas include blackout curtains and a variety of pillow options.
Bedroom 1: Two Twin XL beds.
Bedroom 2: One King bed.
The Loft: Includes a futon and a convertible couch for overflow sleeping space. The TV is located here to keep screen time out of the main living spaces.
Living Room: Furnished with a comfortable couch, armchairs, and a large (1m x 1m) coffee table from when we lived in Guatemala that works great for board games, cards, or drawing.
Kitchen & Dining: Completely renovated with ample counter space and a dishwasher. The dining table seats up to six with clear views of the water.
Bathrooms: Includes one full indoor bathroom (toilet, sink, and shower) and an outdoor hot-water shower to rinse off sand and saltwater after beach time.
Included Amenities: Central heat and A/C, reliable fiber Wi-Fi, a gas grill, beach chairs, flotation devices, kids' life jackets in various sizes, and a chest of outdoor games and beach toys.
Parking: On-site parking for up to three cars.
Note on Photos: We regularly make minor improvements to the property, so small decor details may vary slightly from the photos. Any major updates that affect your stay will always be reflected in current listing photos.
The Location
Located in Virginia's Northern Neck, the property is quiet and slightly off the beaten path.
Nearby Services: A 15-minute drive to the Heathsville Food Lion for groceries, and 15 to 45 minutes to local restaurants and wineries.
Neighborhood: Neighboring lots are large, and neighbors come and go quietly to enjoy the surroundings.
Surroundings: With little traffic and mostly farmland nearby, the area is well-suited for biking and long countryside walks.
