The space was clean, inviting, and easy to find. We stayed on a particularly hot weekend and were pleased with the level of cooling we got from the AC! The outdoor shower and hose were great for rinsing off with cool water after visiting the river. The beach is just a couple minutes' walk away and was quiet and pleasant. A lovely stay, would definitely stay again!

House was lovely. From the pictures I was thinking the house was on the water. (Possibly I didn’t read well enough and just assumed) That was disappointing for a second until we walked a couple houses down to the river. It was peaceful and wonderful. We didn’t stay long but it was perfect for us.

Awesome house right on the water! We enjoyed some boating and were extremely pleased that there is a launch ramp at the end of the road and a great little seafood place on the water within walking distance. The house itself had a ton of room, plenty of outdoor space and was extremely clean! Already starting to plan our next visit.

So grateful to have a vrbo where our two 50 lb dogs are welcome. The new home being built next door is beautiful to watch them finish but to see the river we only had to turn left out of the driveway and walk around the corner to see it or go outside the master bedroom to the end of the deck and we could see a slice of it. The owner responds well. It is quiet; there are basic provisions and the a/c works great! The beds were also very comfortable!!

We had a great stay. We were there to see my son and grandson for the week. The property is in a quiet neighborhood. We enjoyed the local restaurant. Shelly was very responsive to our inquiries. We would definitely stay there again.

By far the best place we have ever stayed. The house is well equipped. The host was very quick to respond to messages. All this and a spectacular view of the river. I will definitely stay here again when we are back in the area for a visit.

The sun room is the entryway and is up a few (5?) steps from the driveway. The open kitchen, dinning and family is roomy for 4 people. Two bedrooms and a bathroom are just off of the kitchen ares. The spacious master suite is up a long flight of stairs. It features a king-sized bed, a walk - in shower. Lots of power and usb outlets, a stunning view of the Potomac River. Also available through the master bedroom is the Laundry Room that has massive washer and dryer.The kitchen has a Keurig 2.0 Coffee pot, The host has provided a selection of K-pods from Food Lion. The refrigerator is a full-sized LG. The range/oven is gas. There is a microwave oven.It is a bit of a drive (25 minutes) from Fredericksburg, but to get away from the hourly-burly of the Washington DC area is a just tradeoff. WMATA and VRE stops are an hour away at Huntington or Franconia stations.Overall it was comfortable, restful, clean and gave us access to Monticello and to DC. A great VRBO.

Rented this property for a family reunion for my husbands family to stay in (5 people). Provided a great location for them close to our home, where they could relax and have their own bedrooms and bathrooms. Very reasonable cost. Being close to Tim’s II restaurant was a great perk as we were able to have family dinner for 11 people there with no issues. I would definitely rent this place again.
