See the sights of Washington, DC and then escape to our waterfront vacation home that is one hour from DC (90 minutes during rush hour). Or come and spend your entire time swimming, boating, fishing, or just watching the sunset from our pier. Our 7 bedroom home was built in 2010 and offers the following activities and amenities:

ACTIVITIES

Swimming: The river is one mile wide in front of our house so it is more like a lake. There is a public beach a half-mile away, but we always just swim at our 120-ft wide sandy beach. The water is shallow (4 ft deep at the end of the pier) so that it is comfortable for swimming from late April to late September.

Ski Boat: Our Yamaha AR230 ski boat may be available for your use if you have boating experience. We also have water skis, kneeboards, wake boards, tubes, etc. for your use.

Sailboat: Our 19' Flying Scot sailboat may be available for your use if you have experience sailing.

Kayak: We have one kayak that you can use or bring your own.

Fishing and crabbing are outstanding. We catch lots of perch, catfish, croaker, spot, and crabs from our 150-ft long pier. There is also a 600-ft public pier one-half mile away.

In addition to the 7 bedrooms, the playroom has a pull out couch that turns into a king-size bed with a Tempur-pedic mattress.

The first floor has a very open floor plan with lots of windows so there are great waterfront views from every room.

The screened-in porch has a table that seats 12 people.

The raised patio has the hot tub and lots of places for sitting, relaxing, and watching the sunset.

There are lots of toys for kids.

As the house is a vacation home, we can do non-simultaneous exchanges.

The address of the home is 35405 Army Navy Drive, Mechanicsville, MD 20659.

Our neighborhood includes a public beach and pier, tennis courts that you can use for free, a public golf course, and a restaurant.

Outside of our neighborhood the area is very rural and there is a large Amish population that lives nearby. Visit their market or their homes to buy produces or baking goods.

The neighborhood is only an hour from Washington, DC (90 minutes in rush hour traffic). It is in southern Maryland, not on the eastern shore of MD, so you don't have to battle Bay Bridge traffic.
