This is a lovely house that is also beautifully furnished. The kitchen is very attractive as well. The location is unusual (next to the free car ferry that traverses the James River 24 hours a day), but that is part of its charm. The ferry ride is a lot of fun, and became something we looked forward to. The ferry takes you to Jamestown/Williamsburg/Yorktown, but there is also a lot to see and do on the Surry side of the river. I particularly recommend a visit to Smithfield, and also one to the beautiful beach at Chippokes Plantation State Park, where we swam for hours. The ferry is quiet and did not disturb us in the slightest. The air-conditioning in the house kept us very comfortable during a very hot spell. We had ample towels and the kitchen is very well-equipped for cooking. There is a dishwasher. On evenings in, we enjoyed watching the DVDs provided with the television. There is a very good selection of books and magazines as well. One caution (and this is NOT a criticism, just things you should be aware of): make sure that you take a look at the map to see where you will need to go to do laundry (there is no washing machine in the house, and the listing on VRBO is completely transparent about this -- we took our laundry to a wash-and-fold service in Williamsburg) and to do a major grocery shop (again, Deena warned us of this as well -- we did shopping in supermarkets in both Smithfield and Williamsburg).
