About this house rental
Little Oyster: A Historic Waterfront Sanctuary on Fleets Island
Just 50 feet from the Rappahannock River, Little Oyster is a beautifully updated 1917 waterfront farmhouse built by renowned local boat builder Gilbert White. This is the kind of place families come to unplug, reconnect, and live the Rivah Life—crabbing off the dock, kayaking at sunrise, soaking in the hot tub at sunset.
Whether you’re planning a family getaway, multi-generational retreat, or slow-paced working vacation, this home offers rare, direct water access with privacy, space, and true riverfront charm.

A True “Rivah Life” Experience
Located in a wide, peaceful cove at the mouth of the Rappahannock and Chesapeake Bay, the property offers front-row seats to crabbing, fishing, oystering, boating, and wildlife watching—right from your own backyard.

Spend mornings on the water, afternoons on the private beach, and evenings in the hot tub or around the fire pit.

Absolutely wonderful stay at a special property. My wife and I were on a getaway and this was a perfect place. The house and property were very cool, and the setting on the water was great gor kayaking, sitting on the dock, fishing, or enjoying the view while preparing dinner together.

Old house with a lot of character and far removed which is what we were looking for on a vacation to get away. We loved the location.
