Had a wonderful Christmas!! Great location, close to lots of activities and shopping. Grandkids had a blast at the beach (little cold though) and running around in the yard. The house was perfect!! Lots of space to entertain & just hang out. The living room was perfect for setting up the tree & opening presents Christmas morning.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

Thank you Shannon and your family for the welcome stay you have offered our family. We had such a great time enjoying the house and scenic woods and water around us! We had such a great time and you have a beautiful home. We have to say that we enjoyed our mornings here and even on the last day your family has taught us and reminded us of our values and memories in Dominican Republic watching your son at such a young age working hard and taking out the trash showed us that good hardworking people still exist and you guys are a true treasure to this town. Thanks again, hope to see you next year!Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

Thank you for opening your beautiful home to share with us. It is truly a home away from home. We could not have asked for a more accommodating host! I will say, I got a little spoiled to your amazing kitchen! Loved the board games & movie collection as well. Just a small suggestion to make the experience complete- a fire pit for roasting marshmallows at night! We visit Williamsburg often and this is our new favorite place to stay! We look forward to coming back soon!!!Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

We enjoyed staying in this awesome farmhouse. We visited Colonial Williamsburg, Bush Gardens, Water Country and of course the country store! Such a great vacation in such a comfy house. We loved sitting on the front porch, going to the river, kayaking and canoeing. Thanks for sharing this lovely home.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

This is a beautiful home to be in - beds and bedrooms are very comfortable and decorated very warmly. The family enjoyed many sights - Williamsburg, Jamestown, Yorktown, Bush Gardens, Water Country, and Williamsburg Premium Outlets. It was a great time being together as our family hauls from Washington State, NY, NJ, PA & FL. Enjoyed a restaurant in Williamsburg - "Food for Thought" was terrific. The kitchen and dining room were a joy to cook and dine in and the living room was roomy enough for all of us. This was a great place for our motor home. We as a family enjoyed our stay and given the opportunity would return. Thank you for a beautiful home and the ice cream treats. The ice cream shop was adorable.Did you find this review helpful?

Owner info
Year Purchased: 2011
About the owner: When I was 27 years old, I decided to sell real estate. Shortly after at the age of 29, I decided to open my own brokerage, Southern Trade Realty (Oct. 2006 so you do the math to see how old I am now)! I quickly learned to combine my passion for designing, creating and decorating to another level. I started to invest in real estate at a very young age, and I am still very passionate about it. I really enjoy getting to know my guests and proud to say I now have repeat buisness. I concentrate on making sure my guests are happy and I take pride in the comfort of my properties and of course, the decor has to be just right. Feel free to call me Shannon 804-815-1912.
Why the Owner Chose Williamsburg:
This area is where I personally grew up. I remember the days on the river at a very young age. I fished, crabbed, learned how to swim, relax, kayak, explore and I am still enjoying all of this today with my family and friends.
The Unique Benefits at this Farmhouse:
Pictures cannot even describe this property (many of our guests say this once they arrive). It is one of the most serene places to be. Listening to the waves crash up against the rocks at night, taking a nap in the hammock on a warm summer afternoon, to watching the Osprey on the river, there is not a better place to enjoy nature at it's best. It is all at your fingertips.
