Ships Watch sits at the very tip of Stingray Point in Deltaville, where the Rappahannock and Piankatank Rivers meet the Chesapeake Bay. When the road runs into the Bay, you have arrived!

The breathtaking sunrises are one of the most unforgettable parts of staying at Ships Watch. Wake up early, grab a cup of coffee, and watch the sky come alive over the Chesapeake Bay—every sunrise is different, and every one is beautiful.

With panoramic water views from 17 of the home’s 19 windows and the sound of waves just outside, Ships Watch is a truly special waterfront getaway. Watch ships, fishing boats, sailboats, Jet Skis, and kayakers pass by—and keep an eye out for the dolphins that frequently visit!

Fish and crab from your private dock, explore the water in one of the two kayaks provided, then prepare your catch in the fully stocked gourmet kitchen or outside on the grill. Relax on the wraparound screened porch, play cornhole or croquet, or grab a margarita and settle into one of the captain’s chairs on the dock.

Bring your fishing poles, steam crabs, roast oysters, enjoy a waterfront fish fry, or take a peaceful walk around family-friendly Stingray Point.

It’s always 5 o’clock at Ships Watch. Come for the fishing, crabbing, kayaking, and incredible sunrises—you may never want to leave!

I’m a Richmond native who has had a home in Deltaville for the past 25 years and has lived here full-time for the past four. I love this community and enjoy sharing everything that makes it special with my guests. As a seasoned real estate developer, I work alongside my team to manage Ships Watch on the Bay, The Blue Heron, and The Heron's Nest (tiny home)—all located here in Deltaville. My goal is to provide every guest with a comfortable, memorable, five-star stay where they feel truly welcomed and want to come back.
