Please do not park on the street.Our neighborhood is golf-cart friendly! We do not *yet* provide a golf cart during your stay (hopefully soon!). Daily/weekly golf-cart rentals are available in Colonial Beach, about 7 miles away, with drop-off and pick-up service during your stay, if you choose to rent one. They are a lot of fun to traverse to the water for a swim off the T-dock or fishing from either dock. Our home is not *directly* on the water but within easy walking (and even easier driving) distance.The home has some accessible features, including a ramp to the front door, 32″ door openings at the front door, master bedroom door, and master bathroom door, as well as a walk-in shower in the master bath with a small lip. Both toilets are ADA-height and elongated.Please feel free to bring your bikes, golf cart, SUP’s, kayaks, tubes, etc. Water access at the T-docks on Lake Placid is a quick 1/2 mile from the front door! Don’t forget your fishing rods, nets, and a cooler if you would like to fish from the docks! Many enjoy the walk there and even bring their mats for a sunny yoga session over the water.Public boat access is **not** available in the immediate neighborhood, but there are half a dozen boat ramps and launch points within an easy 10 minute drive, so bring your boat or jet-ski’s as parking in our driveway will accommodate.Pop over to Colonial Beach for a day spent in the sun and sand! It’s a short 10 minute drive away, and the town is friendly and welcoming! Once you arrive in town, park your car and live the river life! There are several providers offering golf-cart rentals if you’d like to roll around the streets for the day like a local! The entire town is golf-cart friendly and there are shops, restaurants, parks, playgrounds, and more to see and do during your stay.OTHER COOL TIDBITS:Colonial Beach and the surrounding area are home to many memorable historic attractions, the “Playground of the Potomac River,” the second largest sand beach in Virginia, wineries, festivals, hiking trails, and so much more. It is conveniently located for those visiting Dahlgren Naval Base, King’s Dominion Amusement Park, the many rivers and tributaries of the Chesapeake Bay watershed, and the rest of the historical and natural landmarks for which the Northern Neck is famous. The home is a comfortable proximity to visit D.C. or Richmond as well, around 1.5 hours by car. Don’t forget Colonial Williamsburg and Busch Gardens Theme Park are within driving distance also, if you’re looking for a day-trip full of thrills and history outside of the immediate local charm of Colonial Beach. Antique shopping is abundant in this area, and I highly recommend Unique Antiques. If you head toward Tappahannock don’t miss Northern Neck Burgers!We welcome longer stays, including nurses, military servicemembers, and others!
