About this property

Gem on the Potomac River! Private beach, local restaurant, beautiful sunsets!

Quaint cottage nestled in a Potomac River Community just steps from the Potomac River and private beach area. Equipped with two bedrooms and fold out couch in living, front porch with another double bed. Enjoy hanging out in the yard after beach sunning and sports during the day or biking around the neighborhood. We have some of the best sunsets on the East Coast! The Potomac River is great for swimming, kayaking, boating and more. Many boats come to our area to hang out due to our sandy river bottom and local restaurant. There is Fairview Beach Marina if you would like to launch a boat for the stay. Walk to pick pizza and subs up of sites to see, Eagles soaring along the Potomac along with Osprey, Geese and numerous wildlife. Lots of areas for hiking, biking and history. Don't forget to visit downtown Fredericksburg while you are in the area to walk and dine downtown just 25 minutes away.

Fairview Beach is a charming waterfront community where you can spend your days boating, fishing, kayaking, paddle boarding, biking, beachcombing, or simply relaxing while taking in some of the most spectacular sunsets on the East Coast.
Conveniently located near Fredericksburg and Virginia's scenic Northern Neck, you'll find endless opportunities for adventure.

Whether you're looking for a peaceful waterfront getaway or a vacation filled with exploration, Fairview Beach is the perfect place to experience the beauty and history of this special region.

Why they chose this property

I chose this property because it offers something that's becoming harder to find—a peaceful waterfront community where life slows down and nature takes center stage. From the moment I first experienced Fairview Beach, I fell in love with its relaxed atmosphere, friendly neighbors, and breathtaking sunsets over the Potomac River.
As someone who loves kayaking, paddle boarding, and boating, I wanted to share this special place with others so they could experience the same sense of peace and adventure that keeps bringing me back to the water.
One of the things I love most is that you're close to everything while still feeling like you've escaped it all. In just a short drive, you can explore historic downtown Fredericksburg, visit charming towns throughout Virginia's Northern Neck, enjoy local wineries and vineyards, discover parks and nature trails, or simply spend the day on the water.
Whether you're here for a romantic getaway, a family vacation, a fishing trip, or just a chance to unplug and watch the sunset, I hope you'll fall in love with Fairview Beach the way I did.
