This house was amazing for an extended family vacation! Fun for all ages, from toddlers to elderly who cannot navigate stairs. The furnishings are very comfortable including the mattresses, which is always high on our list. We plan to vacation here again next year!
We enjoyed this property very much. The many rooms are a huge plus. We love to fish and crab and there is ample opportunity to do both. The pool gave us much relief from the heat too! The different sitting rooms and places to eat gave everyone their privacy if needed. I would definitely recommend!
This property is a gem! There were 8 of us and there was plenty of space for all of us. The kitchen is fully stocked, I think they thought of everything! Days were spent boating, fishing, crabbing and lounging at the pool. What a great week!
This place is amazing for a large family getaway! Pet friendly and kid friendly.
There isnât too much around the area, but having access to a pool, the boats and canoes, fishing/crabbing supplies, and the large living area made this perfect for our trip.
Multiple rooms, multiple couches and multiple areas to play board games.
Definitely worth a second trip and the owner (Tom) made everything incredibly easy
Thank you again for letting us use your lovely home!
We had a wonderful family gathering. The views are amazing. We had a large family get together for the week. The house has plenty of space for everyone. The owners are the best. They are super easy to talk with and they make sure everything is to your liking.
We REALLY enjoyed our stay. The hosts were very accommodating and the amenities were great. We had 4 teenagers and 6 adults and everyone had the space they needed to relax and have fun. The pool provided a nice place to cool off and the views of both the sunrises and sunsets were spectacular. There were plenty of options for people to get out on the water on the creek side and the access on the river was just as nice.
Wonderful property for a family vacation. The home has the Potomac River on one side with beautiful sunrises, with the Gardner Creek on the other side with sunsets and an above ground pool on the side. There was plenty of space in the home for the entire family to be together or to have some alone time. The kitchen was well stocked with kitchenware, pots and pans. There were plenty of towels and blankets. We loved our stay and will be back someday. Thank you Tom and Debbie.
We had a wonderful time...the house was spacious with ample room for all 14 of us ages 7 through 67! It had a fully stocked kitchen (the best we've ever seen)& special touches like a welcome basket & soaps were appreciated.
The boats, pool, paddleboard & game table provided hours of fun! We took our own boat out & the ramp was easily accessible. We loved the firepit & quiet enjoyment inside & outside the house. A lot of fishing & crabbing...fun all around for all! We'll be back from NY, PA & CA!
We loved the property! The views were spectacular. The house is positioned between two bodies of water so we got to see daily sunrises and sunsets. Everything imaginable was provided! The kids especially enjoyed fishing off the dock and crabbing. The pool was a great bonus since it was extremely hot during our stay. I highly recommend this property. You wonât be disappointed. The owner was quick to respond to all of our questions.
This is our second time renting Tom and his wifeâs property to gather our three generations of family together for my fatherâs 88th birthday. The home is great for the elders as itâs a one level and also perfectly equipped for crabbing, boating, swimming and relaxing to watch the sunset. The rooms and pull outs are enough to give everyone space and for the kid cousins to do slumber parties. The kitchen has everything and there was even a very sweet note and gift from these super hosts. We will hopefully get a chance to come again!
We greatly appreciated the one floor living (two family members have mobility concerns - a residence without stairs was very helpful), ample seating, well supplied kitchen, convenient pool and beautiful views - what a great place for our family vacation and place to celebrate an 80th birthday! The pool was a hit - especially with our youngest members. We ended up catching 11 blue crabs - obtained more from a local supplier and enjoyed a feast! The Osprey, Herons and Eagles were beautiful to watch from property. Tom and Debbie checked in with us to make sure everything was in order - they addressed any questions that arose - we would rent from them again!
Great Location & Amenities, House Could Use Some Updating
First off -- the positives: We loved the location. We loved the pool. Tom was great and very responsive. We loved all the amenities, games, boats, canoes, kayak, and paddleboard -- it provided us with endless fun on the water. Overall, we had a lovely vacation with our family (2 adults, 2 little kids) & friends (2 adults, 1 kid).
A few downsides: The house could use some freshening up in places. There were ants in the front entrance area, a good number of flies around the house, and we had to tend to some leaking issues during a very heavy rainstorm that came through the area during our stay.
Overall, the location is 5 stars, the house itself is 3 considering the price. Overall: 4 stars.
We had so much to do that we legit ran out of time going to bed weary from the fun!! So peaceful and rejuvenating of the spirit! The house has everything you need including crab pots to steam ALL the crabs you can catch everyday! We bought string and used chicken necks and couldnât keep up with them! Out front we caught Skate, catfish and eel. The eel we put in the two crab traps provided by the owners! We took the drive to Kings Dominion and enjoyed the day! We also took our boat out and enjoyed watching 100âs of Dolphins traveling so beautifully through the water! We enjoyed the second fridge for storage and the cleanliness! Games galore! No time to play them all! Owners were lovely and attentive! Canât say enoughâŠthanks for everything!
The property and home was amazing. The Potomac River joining the mouth of Chesapeake Bay right in front and the Creek behind the house. Everywhere you looked you can see water. The house included all the possible amenities you could imagine. Tom put all the information you needed in easy to use binders so there was no searching for anything. The cable happen to be out when we got to the home. I called Tom he immediately had the cable company come out to fix it. We also needed Beach size umbrellas but could only find one and a broken one. Tom drove to the house with two new umbrellas and stands for them. The location was perfect for our dream family vacation, plenty of activities for our large group to join in on. Plenty of space for family to reconnect and share stories and remembrances. We kayaked, paddle boarded, caught lots of crabs, fished and relaxed in the beautiful new out ground pool. We were able to watch the bald eagles, the ospreys a pod of dolphins. At night the sky was filled with stars and you could catch the breeze off the bay. If you want to experience the Potomac River and Chesapeake Bay this is the place. Before we left our group was already planning our return.
Outstanding
Beau RĂȘver was the perfect spot for a week with our children and grandchildren. Tom is the most attentive host that I have ever dealt with; patient with my many questions and prompt to respond. Whereas some rentals have the feel of being furnished and stocked with the discards from the host's primary residence, his is tastefully decorated, clean and very welcoming. We sensed by the many amenities that his sincere goal is to provide families with a venue to spend quality time together, creating life long memories. We hope to return in the future.
Three generations of us - and seven different houses in seven years of vacationing together - we may have finally found the one we return to each summer!
We had a great time enjoying the kayaking, paddle board and motorboat. We enjoyed fishing and crabbing - and even cooked up a few crabs to eat! The kids loved finding rocks and shells on the little beach area (river-side) and we all thoroughly enjoyed the pool.
The house itself was spacious and welcoming, and great for everyone to have common areas to gather, but also sneak away for some peace and quiet when needed.
Many thanks to Tom and Debbie, who were great hosts!
We have been renting homes through VRBO/HomeAway for years and Beau Rever is now one of our favorites and we hope to return next year. The property surrounded by water is beautiful, as is the home's decor. The home was very clean, the beds and pillows are very comfortable, and the kitchen is fully stocked. We spent most of the week at the house enjoying the pool and beautiful sunsets.
Tom was wonderful to work with, very friendly, and quick to respond to any questions we had.
We highly recommend Beau Rever!
We could not get in the river or bay because of the jelly fish never mentioned in the listing. The owner charged us for a broken chair that was broken when we arrived and he charged us for extra cleaning of dirty blankets. Even though I disputed the charge VRBO would not help me. They never even responded. I'm done with VRBO.
Was a great week. Property was really clean and well maintained. Very relaxing.
Owner was very responsive to any questions I had before arriving. Would recommend.
We completely enjoyed our first-time stay in this beautiful and well-stocked house. The owner is very thoughtful. We kayaked every day and enjoyed the pool, as well as excursions around the area. We ate all our meals at home except one, and do recommend the Art of Coffee in Montrose, as well as the Generals Ridge Vineyard.
My family and I absolutely loved the property. It was exactly as described in the listing. In addition, the owner was very responsive when we reached out.
The kitchen was completely stocked with everything you would need from spices to the biggest crab pot. Thereâs plenty of room for large families and friends alike.
The only problem was Starbucks was 45 min away, however they did have a keurig and coffee pot for those non purists like me.
Large, comfortable house in a beautiful but remote spot
This is a beautiful spot between the Potomac and a large cove, with views of both from the house. Plenty of room both inside and out. Well-equipped kitchen. We appreciated the many watercraft for exploring the cove area, even in November. Tom, the owner, answered our questions promptly and left useful information on the area. Even the neighbors were friendly. Only real downside is that there is not much else to do nearby, especially off-season. But for a family or other event with an outdoor focus, it's a great place.
Tom's house was better than expected! The pictures do not do the house or view justice. We had a large group (5 families, 19 total people) and were never out of places to congregate and not feel crowded. Every item you could imagine was provided in the kitchen. And of course the views were breathtaking from every angle.
Our life dream was to own a house on tidal water. We Purchased this house in October 2014 and our family has fallen in love with it. We are in the process of making several improvements to help provide you with a vacation experience you will remember forever. We appreciate your feedback and suggestions. We are delighted to have the opportunity to share Beau RĂȘver (Beautiful Dream) with you and your family.
This property is ideal for large or extended families. The six bedrooms and three pull out couches can accommodate 21 people. Large open floor plan with a kitchen island that can seat 10, plus a dinning room that will seat 10-12 and another table in the creek side room that seats another 8
Ideally suited for large groups. Waterfront on both the front and back of the house with beautiful sunrises and sunsets and crabbing from back yard (some crab pots are provided)
