Welcome to the life at the Rivah, with a coastal charm, and incredible waterfront views. Perfect if you want fresh air, a quiet and relaxing get-away and some recreational outdoor living. Great breezes and sounds of ocean waves for the perfect relaxation vacation. Home is located on an end lot in a waterfront neighborhood facing a large body of salt water at the mouth of the Potomac River and Chesapeake Bay.
The home has a private feel with a farm, open water area, and nature as one of your neighbors. The open water area next door is tidal and changes with the tides but offer no neighbors to the west for your own sunsets.
The cottage has a coastal Maine gray and white colors and offers amazing sunsets and wide water views. You can see across the water to 5 miles away to Maryland and the Chesapeake Bay. 400-square foot screened-in porch offers you an outdoor living room with waterfront views, swinging day bed, outdoor dining table that seats up to 6, overhead fans, and outdoor living room furniture set.

6-8-person Hot Tub overlooks the water and a gently sloping backyard area for lawn games. We have bocce ball and corn holes for you to enjoy. Hammock stand and hammock available too.
We have included two kayaks and a SUP all with paddles and some extra life jackets if you forgot your own. Enjoy exploring the water.
Pier has a convenient ladder that can be lowered into the water for a refreshing swim, great to relax, float, and soak up some sun and cool sea breezes. We have included permanent pier furniture that makes the fishing more comfortable. We have upgraded the pier furniture with outdoor cushions readily available in a pier storage box to enjoy being right on the water. Seating for 6 and room for extra chairs.
The Pier has built in fishing rod holders and we love fishing from the dock. Visit RW’s tackle between Callao and Lottsburg to get your bait and tackle, there is always something to buy there.
After a day outdoors, enjoy the outdoor shower with hot and cold water and the best view ever for any outside shower.
Then head to the grill for something good to eat.
