*SANDY HILL SUNSETS*

We have just finished constructing a tiny house to rent to people looking for a secluded, fun and exciting place to vacation! You have everything you will ever need and if we do not have it, we will do whatever we need to make sure you do!

You walk into a kitchenette that has everything you need to make dinner or simply stick a little something in the microwave to heat up. There is a convection oven/grill.and toaster all in one! There is also a grill on site for you to use!

The main thought is to come ready to relax and have fun! eat, drink and be merry!

A wonderful experience and gracious host
From start to finish, Christie was warm, friendly and welcoming. The hospitality and communication were off the charts. The private beach view is one of the most amazing views we experienced. Very private and a long stretch of beach to walk along. The place was clean and has everything you need from a basics standpoint. The surroundings were awesome. Lots of fields and nature to explore nearby with the golf cart. Highly recommend and will be back.

Fabulous place to unwind and revel in the beauty of nature. The tiny house was intimate and very comfortable, and the host was absolutely amazing. We loved the kayaks and tooling around on our bikes. We didn’t use the available golf carts, but we will next time we go, and we plan to return. Wonderful experience!

You will not regret staying here. Our experience was better than we could have ever expected. The tiny house was perfect in comfort and location, literally just a few steps away from the beach. The beach is so peaceful, clean and private! Christi and Rick are the most humble and amazing people I’ve ever met, they will make you feel like family, I don’t know what was harder leaving: the beach or our amazing hosts. We will definitely be back! 11/10 recommend to anyone contemplating this perfect getaway! Thank you again Rick and Christi!!

Peace/Quiet If/When You Want It
Couple of city folks here. We were in dire need of "getting away from it all." We studied out private beach cottages ( we wanted ON the beach, not NEAR the beach) and we came across this one. Was a gem! If peace and quiet is what you are looking for, this is the place. No hustle and bustle of your typical vacation rental, with lots of other travelers and vacationers all around you. The place was all ours! The BEACH was all ours! Christie has thoughtfully outfitted the place with everything she felt we would enjoy. At our disposal were row boats, kayaks, knee boards, etc. She has 6 or 8 crab traps that you can just go out and set any time you want. Afterward, Christie boiled our crabs up for us and taught us how to properly eat Blue crabs. It was a fun and unique experience for us. She has fishing poles already set up and waiting. She has bait for both fishing and crabbing bait ready to go for you and you can just grab it whenever you want and go! While we went for peace and quiet, we heard that another family previously rented the property and brought along 17 total guests who all set up tents on the 1.5 acre property. The property is very versatile. We were even given a street-legal golf cart for the week! Christie was the best host, always available and ready to help us out with anything we needed. The property is beautifully landscaped and well kept. Make sure to read all of Christie's ad. She gives great details. Read the reviews of others as well. The town of Exmore itself is a little slow. Not a lot to do and Covid has a lot of it shut down. We drove to Cape Charles and it was quaint, but still... Be prepared to entertain yourself. We didn't mind as we were there to NOT be surrounded by lots of other people, but if a nightlife, shopping or regular dining out is part of your dream vacation, you won't find it here. Think sleepy little town... Think of "getting away from it all," because you will be far away from it ALL... Which was just the way we wanted it. Oh... The view! Let me tell you something... The sunsets were absolutely astounding. The property is on The Chesapeake Bay facing west. The sun sets in your back yard over the water. WOW! You'll see! Words and even photos cannot do it justice. We are happy to know of this little hidden gem and will keep it in our list of great places (and people) to revisit.

Angels All Around Us
My husband & I wanted a small place to stay near family members staying in a larger house in the Silver Beach area. We could not have asked for a better rental or better owners. The property is quiet, the tiny house provides all that you need, the beach is steps away and the use of a golf cart made it perfect! From our arrival until our departure, we were treated as family, no request was too small. Our son joined us for part of the week & the use of crab pots was a highlight for him, not to mention the use of a kayak. Our stay was perfect and we will return. Now, on to the angels . . . . we had other family members staying less than a mile from us in a larger rental. My niece's husband is in a wheel chair due to a car accident almost 5 years ago. They came down to our tiny house to visit one day & Christi started talking to them. My niece explained that their goal was to get her husband, Tiny, to the beach so that he could spend some family time, including 3 small grandchildren, on the beach. She had reached out to their rental owner/realtor, VRBO and various pharmacies in the area to get information on how or where to rent a beach wheelchair as his motorized wheelchair will not work in the sand. No one was able to help. Christi immediately said that she could get access to a Gator that would transport Tiny onto the beach as it has 4 wheel drive. Everyone was thrilled. . . unbelievable that a complete stranger a day earlier could make this happen. Plus they were not even staying on their property! The next day, down came the whole clan of 12 + 3 little ones. Christi & Rick had the Gator & and also provided a beach wheelchair borrowed from a neighbor for the beach!! Rick drove Tiny onto the beach, the guys got him into the wheelchair and along with 12 of us + 3 little ones, prayers were answered and the dream of spending family time on the beach was answered. It had been over 5 years since beach time had happened. Tiny's son-in-laws wheeled him into the water for a dip in the Bay!!! This is another first and another goal met for Tiny and my niece and it was all due to angels called Christi & Rick. Wonderful people, wonderful house and wonderful week.

Our New Second Home
It wasn't just a rental but an atmospheric experience. From the peaceful neighborhood to the koi pond to sleeping so close to the ocean to having everything we needed right there. My wife and I wanted for nothing during our stay and enjoyed ourselves at every instant. We wanted a relaxing and stress free getaway and we got it.. No request was too big or too small for our gracious hosts. Everything was provided. We can't wait to go back next year with our children. We are already planning our stay. Thank you Christi and Rick! Sorry again about losing my Kite in your tree!

We stayed at Sandy Hill Sunsets for a long weekend. Both the kids and us did not want to leave. The bay is beautiful and sunsets are unparalleled. We had full use of kayaks and paddle boards, as well as a private beach, not to mention, even an ice machine on the premises. It was quiet and relaxing! We will be going back!

Gem of a Get-A-Way
This was our second visit. This vacation was relaxing, comfortable, and magical - again. Sunsets on the Chesapeake Bay are stunning, and being steps away from the house is so convenient with young children. Christi is the best host, very thoughtful and considerate, and is always so nice to my kids. They love her and talk about her often. If I could come once a month I would!! A very nice retreat after a very very hard year. Thank you, Christi!

Perfect Weekend
Christi was so welcoming and accommodating. The tiny home was right by the beach with an amazing view from the bay window. Plenty of water toys to choose from and the water was so clean. Having a fire right on the beach while watching the sunset was the highlight of the trip. Definitely helped us unwind from the daily grind.

Hello, Iam a person who loves a unique experience! This is THE SPOTto come for your own laid back vacation! Christi and rick are awesome hosts! The tiny house is where we stayed?🌅There is also a apartment thats the former garage of the house. Very nice for someone that needs no steps. Also there was a great couple that was staying there. We had all the privacy and space we could want. The tiny house sits closer to the dunes and has awesome view of the bay to wake up to. We crisscrossed paths them a few times but other than that we had the whole property and beach to ourselves! Truly a one of a kind paradise! The sand is soft and white🏖 and the water is beautiful! The waves🌊 ranged from lapping at the shore to flat water almost to bigger waves on our last day we were there. We stayed mon to friday it was beautiful! The dune that sits above the beach has 4 tall chairs that are a view NOT TO BE MISSED! A front row seat to the sunsets that are so gorgeous! Bonfires on the beach, or on the property in 3 different places! They have everything you need and more. Rick and chrsti said pick a golfcart for your stay and its yours to use anytime! Cool! Ok! We all loved it. we cruised the neighborhood everyday! It was lovley to see the history and small shore homes on the bay! Long walks on the beach and bird watching. The schools of fish were awesome to watch. All the watercraft is there for hours of fun! My 20yr old daughter laurel loved learning to paddle board! So much that shes going out to buy one for herself! The tiny house was comfy beds with quality nautical sheets and cute bath and equipped kitchen for cooking all your meals! I loved the nice setup they have for all your grilling needs. Plus laundry and fullsize ice machine for everyone. I feel like i could go on more!!! but just go! and have fun! We will be back christi! You made our bayside getaway vacation the best!
