Bleu Bayou Cottage - Waterfront Beach-Magnificent Views! Close to DC & Richmond | House in Colonial Beach
4 Bedroom House in Colonial Beach
Welcome to the 2024 Season for The Bleu Bayou!
Please feel free to contact me with any questions or interests you may like to have more information on prior to reserving.
Please review my notes at the bottom of this description regarding response to reviews and off-season reservations.
This spacious and open cottage has fantastic views across a wide part of the river to Cobb Island in Maryland; the sunrise is breathtaking. The sandy beach is perfect for spending summer days sunbathing, lounging, swimming and jet-skiing. The floor plan is open with large windows and doors to the water. The master bedroom is directly off the living room separated by large double pocket doors and looks directly out to the amazing view. The kitchen contains everything you need for cooking while at the same time watching fishermen, swans, osprey and watercraft. There are restaurants close-by with local fish and crabs on the menu. The house is equipped with cable TVs in living room and all bedrooms and wireless internet. Smart TV in the LR offers Netflix, Hulu, etc. for those who want to access their accounts.
About The Bleu Bayou: This property is updated to serve as a vacation home that meets the desirability for a perfectly relaxing getaway from Washington, D.C. and Richmond, within 65 miles from each with the beach at the back door.
The screened porch is large, 15 x 20, with a ceiling fan, and just off the kitchen so preparing food to eat outside is ultra-convenient. The french doors from the kitchen are always open when the weather is good.
The Bleu Bayou is a wonderfully quiet property during the work-week and with lots of activity on the weekends. There is a private beachfront to enjoy and a private community pier and boat ramp which may be available to guests. (If you intend to bring a boat I need to know far in advance to obtain a key. The Bleu Bayou is just outside the Town of Colonial Beach for its casino, restaurants, coffee shops and golf cart meandering - and just the right distance away from the house to be convenient.
About Westmoreland County: Colonial Beach is on the northern part of Westmoreland County, Virginia and a favorite vacation and weekend spot for Washingtonians and Richmonders.
Lower Westmoreland County is rural, abundant with wineries, a Berry Farm on the Rappahannock River and historical interests from Colonial Civil War era. Stratford Hall (the Lee family home) is nearby and there are many wildlife fish and game refuge areas. It is close enough to Washington, D.C. and Georgetown for day trips or overnight stays to visit museums and monuments or take in the nightlife and entertainment. It is also close to Old Town Alexandria, Virginia to visit artistic communities and shopping, churches and restaurants. George Washington's home, Mount Vernon, is in Alexandria and open to visitors.
Additional activities Include Kings Dominion Theme park just 45 minutes away. And our area has two major-league baseball teams, the Washington Nationals and the Baltimore Orioles for your enjoyment. You might also visit the MGM Casino in Washington's National Harbor.
NOTES:
I like to address concerns of guests from the previous year, as I do not respond to each review individually.
During off-season, like most vacation rentals, I need the time to process deep cleaning and/or changing out contents and design elements. By the end of the season the home has taken on extreme usage by the many guests enjoying the beach. Most seasoned travelers are aware of this by virtue of lower rates but for those who are not, please excuse possible problem areas if you reserve during off-Season, October through April 15. This year I will have the wood floors refinished and update some of my cookware, etc.
