Private Vacation Home

Private Retreat Bungalow-One Level, 2 blocks from Beach w/Porch & Deck

Colonial Beach, Virginia, United States

Nestled along a private street you'll love this colorful and spacious beach bungalow. Along the tree-lined family-friendly Jackson Street, this is one of several new custom-built Beach Bungalows. Typical of the beach homes found in this former colonial gambling area, this is a wide-porch bungalow-style home perfect for relaxing near the Potomac Beach shore. But rather than being an older home, this home is new and filled with contemporary, fun, and modern furnishings. The mattresses are new: Queen Serta Sleep True Alverson II Firm, Queen Serta Sleep Medium Firm, and King Posturepedic 13 Firm Euro Top with Memory Foam Topper.brbr A bright yellow door welcomes our guests to one-level living just a few blocks from all the Colonial Beach action. If you are coming for the beach, it's a good idea to rent a golf cart. Colonial Beach was the first city in Virginia to allow golf carts on public roads. The charm of this adorable tiny historic town lies in its sandy beaches, gentle palm trees, affordability, cute bungalow homes, and small town restaurants and shops. The beauty of THIS home is its proximity to the shore while far enough away to allow you to enjoy easier parking and a calming vibe. brbrThe bright yellow front door opens to a HUGE living room with 5, yes FIVE, oversized Italian white leather chairs. There's a rolling white leather ottoman, Persian carpet, a Tommy Hilfiger designer coffee table, and glass tables to hold your drinks as you relax before dinner. The Roku Smart Television is lets you enjoy all your personal apps on the TV such as Netflix or Amazon Prime TV. Roku Television and HBO is FREE! brbrAlongside this generous contemporary living area is a giant café area: indoor dining for 6 on a sleek modern dining table and a white quartz island bar with seating for 4, or seating for 8 at two generous glass outdoor dining tables. There's seating for everyone to sit together during meal times, or spread out indoors and out. brbrThis home is for guests only. No non-paying guests are allowed in or on the property. No friends, visitors, or relatives may visit or stay. Only for those ON the reservation.brbrThe kitchen is well-appointed, showcasing custom navy-blue cabinetry with soft-close doors and pull-out shelves. All the stainless-steel appliances are new including the big sink, side-by-side refrigerator with ice and filtered water thru the door, and the matching smooth-top electric range with built-in microwave over top. The GIANT oversized kitchen island in bright white quartz will catch your eye and is the gathering spot for everyone staying in the house. Buffets or drink bars serve up beautifully in this generous space. The island bar and coordinated seating makes this space modern, useful, and a great gathering space each day. brbrTime for bed You'll sink into a giant king-size bed which was custom-made in Turkey with matching marble inset nightstands and a long bed bench at the end. The Primary Bedroom is so large that it ALSO holds a 2-twin trundle beds. Each twin trundle bed has a cool gel mattress and is a great place for kids or even extra adults. You'll sleep as long as you like thanks to the black-out curtains and darkening blinds on both master bedroom windows. The primary ensuite bathroom is spacious with a double vanity and walk-in shower. Towels, washcloths, and hand-soap are all ready and waiting for you. brbrIn addition to the Primary Bedroom, you'll find 2 mix-and-match queen bedrooms across the hall. Joined by a Jack-and-Jill double-vanity bathroom, these two bedrooms are bright and spacious. Both bedrooms feature a desk and chair, double nightstands, double lamps, and room-darkening blinds and curtains as well. One bed is firm and one bed is med firm so you choose which you prefer.brbrYou'll know you've found the laundry room when you are walking toward the beach: a giant beach mural was custom-created for the laundry room with it's full-size auto-sensing washer and dryer. You'll pass the cute Powder Room off the laundry hallway. It's a small but perfect little bathroom featuring a pedestal sink. With 3 toilets, 5 bathroom sinks, and a full-length mirror in every bedroom, there is never anyone waiting on anything! brbrEnjoy your morning coffee while soaking up the day's early sunrays on the front porch. The large covered porch deck is where you can sit at one of the two outdoor tables with a cuppa Joe and your phone, catching up on social media or just reading a book in the gentle warmth of the morning sunshine. Remember to wave to the golf cars as they pass; Colonial Beach is a golf-cart friendly community. Each morning when you awaken, you'll love going to the front porch, closing your eyes and soaking in the morning sun. This porch is a great place to gather every morning during your stay and a perfect spot for an at-home breakfast before a busy day at the beach. brbrIf you have rented a golf cart, It can be parked on the grass by the front porch or by the back deck. We even have a dog washing or foot washing station outside by the deck. Let's keep that sand outside! brbrIn the evening, you'll catch the last of the sun's glory as you sit around the back deck and enjoy the no-neighbor-behind-us private setting. During the school year, you can watch the elementary school kids during recess. And with a back deck door directly into the house, it's easy to grab another cold one to continue enjoying time with friends on the back deck. No grill, no grilling. No firepits, no candles, no fires. Both front and back decks are made of composite wood with vinyl railings and siding; there are a few steps up to both. There is a large unfenced backyard if you are bringing outdoor games. Neither the porch nor deck is gated. brbrWe stock the kitchen with quality colorful barware, utensils, and cookware, but you're just a short ride from Colonial Beach's cute local restaurants, bars, and breweries. Walk or golf-cart a couple blocks to the beach or cute shops if you wish, or take a quick bike ride over to the public beach if you prefer that vibe. We even have a water view sort-of: from the cross road at the home's driveway you can see the Potomac River shimmering just a short bit away. Walk toward the water and veer right to find the public beach just a short way away. Ride a bike or rent a golf cart for the best and easiest way to get to the public beach each day. brbrThis is our home away from home and we treat it as such. You'll find it well-cared-for with quirky art, fine furnishings, and upscale bedding. We love fun barware and distinctive décor; nothing old or outmoded here, though we do have some cool vintage items in the house. Fun, contemporary, upscale vintage, and easy-peasy! brbrThe house is NOT child-proofed in any way. Dogs are allowed if they do not get on furniture or bedding and if we are given info on them ahead of time. Per pet pet fee is $125.brbrCome enjoy the house, the big old bungalow porch, the glorious sun deck, and the beach vibe of Colonial Beach!
