Some guest have trouble connecting with the phone. Depend of the phone service. So far no one is unhappy .

A 3-BEDROOM, 2 Bath, two story house with over 1,800 sq. in the Balls Neck area. Within 2 miles of 2 state parks at the Chesapeake Bay, 1000 feet away from 2 fishing charters, 8 miles from Kilmarnock, ideal for Hunting Seasons on 9Acres and double panoramic decks, nonsmoking, no pets.
This spacious house has a master bedroom with private bath located on the first floor. With a Queen-sized bed, walk-in closet.
The second and third bedrooms on second floor have 2 twin beds and they share the second full bathroom. The bunk bed bedrooms has an internal window—it isn’t really safe for young kids, if someone is traveling with kids you should know that one room can only be used for adults.
Family room we've provided TV with a DVD player . The kitchen is fully equipped. There is also 6 chairs dining table and three (3) stools bar chairs. Unit has washer & dryer. You must be at least 21 years old to rent.
A $90.00 CLEANING FEE WILL APPLY TO RENTALS UNDER 7 NIGHTS

The Northern Neck of Virginia is very rich in history and has amazing, picturesque little towns that are fun to explore. Kilmarnock also has a Food Lion, Wal-Mart, CVS, and Walgreen for necessities.
This great area is close to all the best amenities - golf at the world renowned Tides Inn, dine at one of the many restaurants located within 15 minutes, rent a canoe at Belle Isle park, tour charming waterfront villages, the Chesapeake Bay, vineyards, or historic homes & gardens. Washington, D.C. is 2.75 hrs. away, Richmond and Airport 1.5 hrs., Colonial Williamsburg-Busch Gardens & King's Dominion theme parks are 1.5 hours away, Newport News airport is also 1.5 hrs.
The area is well-known for its great fishing and there are also many charter boats that go out for half-day and full-day trips to fish for Croakers, Spot, Spanish mackerel, White-Striper (Bass/Rockfish), Flounder - and more.
Take a look at the Northern Neck Tourism Council website to view events and attractions in the area. Also, a wonderful guide for the area, The Rivah, lists even more information, great local attractions, festivals, events, and even has a dining guide.

About the host

Hosted by alvaro Ibañez & wife Denise DeVries

Host profile image
Like most immigrants, after many circumstances I was experiencing in my birth country, I chose to start a new life in a new land. That country was the United States. Art is my life. “I live for art not from art.” Since my arrival, I have dedicated all my potential to sponsoring art and artists in all the creative fields. I promote, encourage, and mentor all of them that never were touched by art, or don’t believe in themselves, or are afraid to show because they are afraid of comments. I open shows and spaces to display their work regardless of their experience and background, as long as they have the idea and or need to explore creativity. Many became very well known creative people, some found their lives changed, with a lot more to live for, because whoever is involved in art lives a great life. If you have a disastrous place, as soon as you move art in, it becomes enchanted and shines. It is the same with life.

Why they chose this property

I founded Alvaro Ibañez Museum (AIM), where everyone in the world can visit my personal collection. An international creativity community bringing together painters, poets, dancers, sculptors, photographers, actors, all kind of writers, and their audiences and friends for rest and renewal. We do workshops and seminars as well as displaying and promoting other artists.
