Relax in the beautifully refurbished home, on the back deck, by the private pool, or by the water on the private dock. Bring your boat or jet skis to explore the creek and local water way. Located in a private community 2 minutes from down town Colonial Beach and just 2 hours from Washington, D.C.; 1 hour from Richmond, VA, and about 30 minutes from Fredericksburg, VA. The quaint Town of Colonial Beach has restaurants, grocery stores, breweries, a dog park, and public beaches. Just minutes away is access to wineries (Monroe Bay, Ingleside, Back Porch, General's Ridge), State Parks (Westmoreland and Caledon), and historical sites (Birth places of James Monroe and George Washington, as well as Stratford Hall which is home of the Lee Family). The house is equipped with High Speed Internet and two Smart TVs for your streaming needs. Golf Carts (not included in rental): Colonial Beach is a Golf Cart community. There are rentals available and there is access to the town from the property, should you want an alternate way to explore the town. Water Access: There is a small ramp for launching kayaks, jet skies, or small craft (e.g., john boats) on the property. For run-abouts and larger craft, there is a public ramp in the town of Colonial Beach (5 minute drive). The public ramp is free, but there is a fee to park. There is ample trailer parking at the property. Monroe Bay Creek is mostly brackish water, but once one transitions to the Potomac River, the water is salt and requires a Potomac River or VA salt water fishing license. The Dock: There are 2 slips for docking watercraft. The creek is tidal and the water depth varies; average water depth is about 4 feet. Bring your own dock lines, bumpers, etc. You are welcome to crab and fish from the dock, so pack your gear. Please clean up any bait so not to attract gulls. Typical fish species caught include Perch and Catfish; occasionally Spot and puppy drum (late summer/fall). The Pool: There is a private pool, gazebo and sun deck on the property. Four (4) pool towels are provided for your use. The pool is not heated. The Kayaks: There are two (2) sit-on-top kayaks, paddles and lifejackets available for guest use. Note: VA law requires assessable life jackets on board; Children 13 years of age and under must wear a life jacket at all times while boating. Horses: There are horses adjacent to the property. They are not part of the rental, so please do not touch or feed. However, they are very peaceful to watch from the front of the house. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach towels ### Pool/Spa - Private pool ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation -
