I know Matt - I'm on the Planning Commision with him. Both he & his wife are from up north. I forget where. Baltimore I think. Always wanted to operate a B&B but couldn't afford it up north.

You picked an expensive one to stay at. Had looked at that for my mother & stepfather (they can't handle my stairs).
$250 a night as I recall with a 3 course meal plus wine pairings.

When I first met Matt & mentioned he reminded me of someone.

"Howdy Doody?'

Was his reply........................
:ROFLMAO:

Nice guy.

Even if he does look like Howdy Doody.

Mack - drove past [this one]('https://www.coldwellbanker.com/property/27-KERR-ST-ONANCOCK-VA-23417/88130531/detail') this afternoon. Looked nice - thought I'd look it up.

Just over 1/2 acre with a garage (you don't see many of those here). Looks to have its own well in addition to Public Water. Probably for irrigation outside. That's a definite plus. I had looked into having a shallow well sunk & it ran $5000 + electric. Water is expensive here because of an oversized/way over capacity town waste treatment plant that was put in a few years ago. Sewage costs are double the water cost. Only thing down here that's more expensive than up north.

Looks like a wood stove in the kitchen.

Don't know what price range you're interested in. This one was reduced by $5000. It's been on the market since August. I'm thinking another lowering in in the offering now that Spring is here.

I was in that one when I went to check on the couple that Macks was interested in. Spoke to a few of the locals concerning flooding & this woman said I have one that hasn't gone on the market yet but will be. She then asked if I wanted to see it.

Great location - but house needs a lot of work & has absolutely no character. On a point with water on three sides.
The boat ramp needs either heavy fixing or complete replacement.
There's also an oddly placed building plot next to it. Almost behind the house.

I know the one you're talking about - took a walk around the outside.
From what I could see it was in really good condition.

Going to put offers in on the house at the end and the lot next to it, tomorrow am ...... I would like to be able to get both. We really liked the vaucluse shores area, but not sure about dealing with the distances from grocery, Walmart and medical facilitys. We'll see what happens. It was good seeing you and Max again, Larry. Good job on that pile of wood !
