Wonderful, well-stocked peaceful waterfront house

We were looking for a quiet weekend away and Carmen's place was just what we needed. There are many indoor and outdoor spaces with views of the "lake" (looks sort of like a canal). The place was spotless and was the most well-stocked rental I have ever stayed in, with lots of choices for coffee, hot drinks, and soda. It is about a 10 minute ride to town and we enjoyed the house so much that several times we got take out or groceries so we could eat at "home" instead. Carmen was great with communication. A+, 5 stars.

Why they chose this property

The Northern Neck is quiet and this home is located in a Bird Sanctuary. It’s fresh water and no worries of jelly fish. You can access the bay easily from the Association Dock.

What makes this property unique

It’s a luxurious but warm home, I make sure everything is clean and disinfected. The kitchen is Gourmet and well stocked. Comfortable bedding and a tv in every room. The outdoor space has another kitchen and firepit
