About the host

We are a retired couple who love Virginia's history and the "rivah"!

Why they chose this property

Our house has a beautiful view, a beach and the James River to play in, but close to Jamestown, Williamsburg, Yorktown, Busch Gardens and other sites that you came to see. It is like having the best of both worlds.

What makes this property unique

The view is beautiful. Directly across the river is Jamestown Island, the place of the first permanent English settlement in America (1607). This house is on land that was given to Pocahontas from her father, Powhatan, when she married John Rolfe. On a clear day, you can see the roller coasters at Busch Gardens across the river.

Even if the weather isn't perfect, you can sit on the enclosed porch and watch Eagles and Ospreys fish, or tugboats or ships going by.

As one guest said after visiting Williamsburg, etc., it was like coming home after a busy day. And, you can always spend a day on the "rivah," swimming, kayaking, or just enjoying it while sitting under a beach umbrella.
