About this property

Waterfront on Hacks Creek next to Vir-Mar Beach on the Chesapeake Bay

Vir-Mar Beach/Chesapeake Bay / Northern Neck of Virginia

Located within the historical Northern Neck of Va, “My Blue Heaven” welcomes you with stylish comfort and pleasant surroundings to this spacious (3,400 + sq ft) modern home featuring 6 bedrooms, 3 full baths, a large dining room and gourmet kitchen. All
Bedrooms are good size with comfortable beds, and a King in the Master suite. Dinner
seating for 12 people (expandable to accommodate 16) makes this is the perfect home for any size family. Great room has gas fireplace and flat screen TV. A convenient floor plan provides areas of privacy. A large deck overlooks picturesque Hacks Creek.

This Home is located in the peaceful, exclusive setting of the Skiff Cove development,
with a private pond and gazebo. There is plenty of room for Hiking, Biking (5 bicycles of different sizes), or Walking with a Nature Trail bordering the water’s edge. Make sure to stop and watch the wildlife or enjoy swinging over the bank’s edge. There are deer, rabbits, squirrels and turkeys that call this 26 acres home. This wildlife experience will leave lasting memories for you and your family. You can also Drive, Walk or Bike to Virmar Beach.

Explore navigable Hacks Creek in your own boat or the kayaks (3), a paddle board and canoe included on your reservation. You will see the many species of the birds that inhabit Hacks Creek; Bald Eagles, Great Blue Herons, Brown Pelicans, Ospreys, Hummingbirds, Bluebirds, Great Egrets, a variety of ducks and an occasional Swan. You can even make out into the mouth of Potomac River entering the Chesapeake Bay, a mere four hundred waterway yards distance. Seeing the sun rise or sun set on the Chesapeake or dolphins swimming beside you is just a paddle away. These are sights to treasure.

Once back from exploring, crab, fish, relax with a book or just sunbathe on the
spacious dock. Crab traps, a crab steaming pot and outdoor grill are provided. Bring
your own fishing gear as perch, spot, sea trout and rockfish are just a few of the many
species you can catch. Additionally, this area of the Chesapeake Bay is a prime fishing area with several charter fishing trips available.

Hacks Creek is protected from heavy wind and weather, so you can enjoy tubing,
skiing, swimming and if you want sand between your toes, there is a public sand beach
area on the Chesapeake Bay within walking/biking distance on the front edge of the Skiff Cove property.

On a clear night, relax on the back deck, hammock, pier or lounge chair in the yard and take in the Milky Way, North Star, satellites passing overhead or thousands of beautiful stars. There are also the sounds of nature; an owl, geese, crickets, tree frogs and maybe a distance horn from a passing ship traveling the Chesapeake Bay.

Gather for a private dining event on the deck, or take advantage of the large back yard
overlooking the water. The back yard is spacious enough to accommodate Weddings,
Birthday parties, or if you are a business, this is ideal space and view for an Oyster roast or crab feast. Catering for such events is available.

The Northern Neck offers plenty of alternative activities. You can cruise to historic
Tangier or Smith Island, enjoy highly rated or family oriented golf courses, book a
charter fishing trip, visit several local museums, boutique or antique shops and
vineyards, all of which are close at hand. While you are out, have superb lunch or
dinner at one of many restaurants that offer reasonably priced menus or fine dining
venues. Locally caught seafood and locally produced wines are available for you to
enjoy.

Whether it’s a family weekend get a way, a large convention, or a dynamic corporate
retreat, “My Blue Heaven” on Hacks Creek may be the perfect for you. Our setting and
amenities provide the perfect retreat for multi-family reunions/vacations, and business
conferences. We are conveniently located near Ophelia, Virginia and within easy travel
distance to Richmond, Virginia Beach, Washington, Baltimore and Philadelphia. Airports service all these major cities if you live outside the immediate area and desire to experience the Chesapeake Bay and historic Northern Neck.

We are look forward to welcoming you to My Blue Heaven.

Family Vacation
Honestly the property is much more beautiful in person than the pictures present and we had such a lovely stay. We built some core memories with the kids during our stay that we will remember forever. The internet and reception was very poor but it helped us all disconnect (just don’t expect to be able to work remotely here) and reconnect with each other. Thank you for letting us stay at your family home as it was clearly loved and maintained throughout the years by a loving family.

Exactly what you want from a vacation on the Bay
Our group was 4 families with kids of varying ages. We have been doing this trip for a decade and this house is the best set up for our group we've ever had. A big "dorm room" at the far end of the house meant the kids could play and get loud without bothering adults talking and playing games on the main level. The dorm also had to nooks that the older teens loved as they felt they had their own space. The dock is set up to fully enjoy the Bay. Without much effort we caught a bushel of crabs with the four house pots and there is a picnic table outside perfect for picking. There were jellyfish but not a ton - people were wading in the water at the public beach without issue. The house is home to a flock of wild turkeys that showed up everyday around 4 which was really cool. We didn't realize we needed linens/towels but the welcome email was clear about that so it wasn't a problem, just a bit of a surprise. The internet is spotty. My husband had planned on doing one critical work call and ended up going having to go into town. The public library is close (by the Food Lion) and has little work pods that were perfect although it would have been better if he didn't have to leave the house. However, it forced the kids to abandon their devices which was great. The motion sensor outside the master bedroom is faulty and had a bit of a disco party at night but we just turned off that breaker when we went to bed which worked fine. We will be booking again next year!
