Fabulous house in an incredibly scenic location

Beautiful 19th (?) century manor-type house that sits on a tidal creek with wonderful views and spectacularly landscaped grounds. Inside is very warm, inviting and comfortable. Downsides are are a smallish kitchen, terrible wifi (which the owner acknowledges in the description and is looking to fix) and at least one lumpy bed. The 6th BR doesn't work well since it is hot and doesn't have direct access to a bathroom. Those drawbacks are way overshadowed by the character of the place. I've rented this place 4 or 5 times and will do so again. It's wonderful.

House in Onacock

A group of friends rented this property for the weekend to ride Le Tour de Shore bike ride which started in Onacock. The screened in back porch was awesome. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook in. Plenty of rooms for the six of us. Lovely setting. No issues with check -in.

Old coastal Virginia at its best

Sycamore Bend is a beautiful and historic property overlooking an inlet off of the Chesapeake Bay. The house is extremely comfortable and spacious, and every room contains interesting historical objects and fine antique furniture. Cellular service is a bit iffy, but that is part of its charm and very relaxing atmosphere - fewer phone calls! The owner was a pleasure to work with, and we hope to stay there again someday.

Lovely home, amazing sunsets!

Spent a long weekend at Sycamore Bend with extended family, it was perfect! Had everything we needed for a fun & relaxing time. The decor & furnishings were gorgeous! Communication with host was always easy, check-in was a breeze. Loved that there was a land-line phone as cell service in the area was almost non-existent. Plenty of room to gather as a family, or to find a quiet space to read. Thanks for allowing our family to enjoy your gorgeous home, look forward to returning! ~Jennifer
