Cutest Little Blue Cottage
Inside decor was spot on. Kitchen was well-stocked, and we enjoyed the dock and fishing. Host was a great communicator.

Lovely cottage on the River
We enjoyed staying at this cottage so much, we had to come back for a return visit. It was right on the water, with kayaks to use, and a pier to sit and enjoy the beauty of the water, or fish. The cottage was perfect for our family in that it had a large gathering room so everyone can be together to hang out and enjoy the view.

Perfect Anniversary Weekend
My husband and I truly enjoyed our stay at TLBC. The location was perfect for dinner in Urbanna at Something Different complete with live music and then a day exploring Kilmarnock. The house was so comfy and clean. Kudos to the high quality bedding and blackout curtains. The basket of snacks and coffee pods was a nice touch. If you live in Richmond or on the Peninsula, then you can't go wrong with this riverfront property only a short drive away.

My friends and I loved our stay. Super comfortable house with beautiful views of the water. Very relaxing! Unfortunately the internet wasn't working for us. The host is aware and is working with the service provider to fix. We plan to return.

Great cottage!
Loved our stay at TLBC. The home was comfortable and well furnished/equipped for our group of four adults and one child. Wonderful location right on the water; we watched porpoises swim in the creek while we drank our morning coffee. Would absolutely return!

Great week on the river.
We had a wonderful week at The Little Blue Cottage in Topping, VA. It was very clean and the hosts thought of lots of nice details -from hand soap in the bathroom to play kitchen with grocery cart for the kids, to life jackets for the kayaks. We had great weather and caught crabs from the dock. It is an older cottage and has some quirks, but that’s what made our stay fun and unique. The neighborhood is good to walk in and we meet several friendly neighbors. Be sure to read “ The Little Blue Cottage” kids book if you are fortunate enough to stay there! Patti

Excellent Stay!
We had a great time here. The house is adorable, completely well-stocked and perfect for little kids. You can tell the owner really cares about guests, there were so many little touches throughout like snacks, white noise machines, nightlights, etc etc. Very comfortable stay, and the location right on the water could not be beat. We hope to come back again soon!

Great weekend getaway
My family and I stayed at this wonderful lakefront cottage as we attended a family gathering in Whitestone The cottage was perfect! The picture windows offer a perfect view of the lake and we enjoyed a morning kayak ride right from thr floating dock in front of the cottage. The kitchen was well stocked with all the necessary essentials and we had clean towels available for our use. Would definitely stay again!

TLBC is a place for tranquility.
This was a gem of a cottage....right on the water. We couldn't help but stare out the windows and gaze at the water, the birds, the sunrise and the sunset. The cottage itself was very comfortable. Our favorite room was the enclosed sun room or family room. It was large enough for 4 adults and 2 kids to gather, share stories, eat, play games, etc. all while enjoying the beautiful view. Our family really enjoyed using the kayaks which were provided. We brought our own fishing pole, and were able to fish right from the pier. The neighborhood was quiet, and at night we could see the stars clearly. There was a small beach area right down the road, and actually saw a beautiful rainbow while sitting on the shore line. The cottage was clean, beds very comfortable, and we appreciated the storage room with washer and dryer, and room for our gear.

Lovely location
We had a wonderful stay. The location is a like entering another world. We all discussed how we would like to see the little cove stay that peaceful. We had a few problems at the house. The AC had difficulty keeping it cool. The sink in the kitchen would not drain. The owner was very responsive. A plumber had to come out one morning to repair the sink which ended up taking a while. There was no cell phone service for us and we were fine with it. The house has wifi. The house has plenty of space and a beautiful view. We were able to cook and use the grill the entire time. There aren’t a lot of places open during the week for those who want to eat out. The creek had a lot of jelly fish. Actually, I have never seen so many! Some the size of a dime or nickel! I’m not sure if there is a time you can swim in it, but the water was super warm in the summer. There are kayaks there. There is a lot of wildlife to watch sitting outside and make sure you bring bug spray for outdoors. I do hope the dock gets extended to the end. It’s kind of hard to fish out into the creek. Lots of crabs for anyone interested in crabbing. Beautiful place overall and hoping to return.

Hey Christina Thanks for staying ! Just wanted to say that the only reason I gave you a 4 on a couple of the ratings on my end was just that none of the check out instructions were done prior to you all leaving. It just made it hard for my staff to turn the place over in time for the next guest. Still happy to host you all and glad you had a wonderful time ! Thanks

Cute and clean home with dock on the water and plenty of outdoor seating to take in the view. Crabbers paradise. Be prepared to fix your meals or drive 15 to 20 minutes. Due to very muddy bottom, crabs and jelly fish we stuck to kayaking or just dock sitting.

Charming and attractively decorated cottage, very comfortable except could not set thermostat. But when we needed it cooler, the owner quickly complied after we messaged him. It was peaceful and quiet, just what we were looking for.

Amazing spot, almost everything was perfect
Pros: Love the house's layout and closeness to the Rappahannock. Very spacious rooms and had plenty of space for 6 people. Place was clean, and most appliances and furniture items were in good condition. I liked the primo water dispenser. Cons(minor): A/C struggled to keep house below 77 during the day, and it took until 11 or 12pm for temperature to get into the low 70s inside. Bathrooms/showers were slightly outdated. The main living space could use blinds to add more privacy. Overall: Good place and would go back!

Pleasantly Surprised!
This was my very first VRBO experience and I have to say it was excellent from start to finish. The TLBC exceeded all my expectations and was perfect for the week we spent in the area. The contact for this property was very responsive and communicative which I appreciated as this being my 1st VRBO rental experience I did have many questions. I appreciated the attention to detail, the cleanliness, and the location and will most certainly consider staying here again in the future if I have the opportunity to do so.

Adorable Cottage for Relaxation and Water Play
We were on the Eastern Shore for a wedding and booked this cottage because it was close to the venue and had water views. It was everything we wanted in a rental — peaceful, beautiful, super clean and had kayaks plus safety gear. Definitely recommend booking this rental, but bring your own soap and shampoo/conditioner for showering, as they are not provided. Excellent experience all around.

Terrific little cottage on a quiet waterfront road. Nicely renovated property with a spacious kitchen and terrific sunroom shaded by large trees. We were looking for a quiet waterfront property to rest and recharge with great waterfront views and this place hit it out of the park for a weekend getaway.
