My wife and I loved our stay. The host was very hospitable and very accommodating. We were greeted immediately upon arrival and shown a well detailed tour of the property. The property was very well maintained and visually appealing. We were provided a wheel barrel full of fire logs and use of wheel rim for a camp fire (10$ when booked). The views for sunset and sunrise were stunning. We had total peace and quiet during our stay. We will be back in the spring to try our hand at fishing off the dock. Perfection.

Do yourself a favor and book this site! We loved every moment of our stay on Rod’s ‘oasis’.
The views were stunning, the atmosphere was incredibly peaceful, and we even got to leave with some fresh blue crabs from the local
watermen - such a cool experience. Rod was wonderfully welcoming and knowledgeable about the area, and we learned some fascinating facts about the local culture. Thank you, Rod, for an amazing stay!

Roderick was super kind. He let me move to the spot with the best morning sunrise view, made sure I knew where the fire pit was and left the light on in the outside portal potty. He stood around for a moment to answer all my questions about his site, made me feel very comfortable. What a wonderful place to wake up, the sunrise was absolutely stunning.

The thing to take away from this is, we have started making this a regular destination. That really should be very telling. Everything about Oyster House is fantastic. Rod is an amazing host and genuinely cares. I love being able to step outside the camper and be able to wet a line, drop a crab trap, watch wildlife, enjoy amazing sunsets and unreal night skies, take a stroll, float a kayak, or a million other things. We are in love with everything about this destination.

I chose Oysterhouse landing for a family picnic. Half the family lives in Virginia Beach and the rest in Richmond. Oysterhouse is in the middle. When I talked to Rod he suggested I move slightly off my site and take advantage of a large tree with a lot of shade. That kept me from setting up a couple of large awnings. The light wind kept the bugs away and the shade made the picnic comfortable. We did not spend the night, but the trip was memorable. It was also less expensive and quieter than a restaurant in Williamsburg.
