Our home is located on a private point of land which overlooks Mobjack Bay, which opens up onto the Chesapeake Bay. This area is a paradise for boating, fishing, kayaking, bird watching, oystering, crabbing, sailing, and relaxing amid beauty. Nearby is historic Yorktown, sight of the American victory over the British. (sorry Brits :) 30 minutes away is a re-creation of the first settlement of Jamestown, complete with Indians and English settlers, and for even more of a taste of colonial American life, visit the wildly popular Colonial Williamsburg. Kings Dominion, a huge amusement park, is about an hour away, and Busch Gardens is even closer. Virginia Beach is an hour & a half away, for a real East Coast Beach experience with waves and a beach scene. Our home is located in a sleepy and super friendly county of southern Virginia; you will find a friend wherever you go! Just south a couple of miles, however, the pace picks up and you will find universities, larger shops etc.
