About the building

Head back to a more relaxing time this summer by renting your own furnished beach cottage for the entire summer!… Or rent this charming cottage for a whole month at a time for about the cost of an expensive week elsewhere. This waterfront monthly rental is available on Virginia's beautiful Northern Neck at the place where the Potomac River meets the Chesapeake Bay. The property is located in a rural area and is best suited for those looking for quiet and peace away from it all. By renting for a month or several months at a time, you can come for the weekends or stay for an extended time at this old-fashioned but newly updated and fully furnished 1950s era beach/fisherman's cottage that offers the kind of private, peaceful coastal setting that is increasingly hard to find in the Mid-Atlantic region. This traditional cottage, while simple in design, is well positioned on a natural and scenic one-acre waterfront lot with truly exceptional views on three sides of the Potomac River, the Chesapeake Bay, and a serene tidal pond, and yet it is located less than a 3-hour drive from Washington, D.C., Northern Virginia, and Charlottesville, and less than 90 minutes from Richmond and Williamsburg. The cottage comfortably accommodates up to four guests, with a maximum of five. Situated at the end of a quiet private lane with just a handful of neighbors, the furnished NTC 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath cottage combines timeless charm with relaxed waterfront living. The bright and airy interior features updated spaces that are clean and comfortable and filled with natural light. Enjoy spectacular sunrises and sunsets, cool bay breezes, star-filled skies, and visits from bald eagles, blue herons, and other coastal wildlife. Enjoy hours spent kayaking, crabbing, fishing, birdwatching, writing your memoirs perhaps, visiting the area's many unique local historical sites, or simply relaxing with friends or family on the wraparound porch or on a small neighboring beach area just steps away. The cottage's high-speed internet makes it ideal for extended stays. Restaurants, marinas, coffee shops, grocery stores, and the nearby towns of Burgess, Kilmarnock, Warsaw, Reedville, and Heathsville are all approximately 10 to 25 minutes away by car. Private arrangements for local deliveries, catering, and boating excursions may also be available. The cottage is available for a monthly cost of $2,200 per month (furnished; utilities to be discussed for shorter term rentals). If you are looking to truly "get away from it all," or you would like a place to live for just a few months, or you just want to try out the experience of a weekend place of your own without the hassle and cost of purchasing one outright, then this cottage rental is for you! Please note: A second cottage (possibly infrequently used by owner) and back storage shed located on the property are not included in the rental; however, tenants will have access to the grounds. A relative of the owners of the property is a licensed Virginia real estate agent.
