Sobre este barco atracadoalquiler
A Warm and Cozy 50' Houseboat in gated, quaint and peaceful marina near the city
Estimados futuros huéspedes,
A pesar de que la lista de GiaMaria podría hacer que pienses solo en un lugar divertido para pasar una noche o unas vacaciones, en realidad es solo una pieza de una experiencia única y maravillosa. Y esto se hace evidente desde el momento en que gira en un camino arbolado del Parque Nacional que es paralelo a los trabajos de maternidad de la Guerra Civil, hermosas casas y un par de granjas bien cuidadas antes de que termine en Fort Hoke Brady. Desde allí pasará por una puerta codificada, y cuando se acerque a Richmond Yacht Basin (el puerto deportivo más antiguo de Virginia) a solo unos metros de distancia, verá una de las mejores vistas de Richmond; Primer río de América; el James Pero antes de que te cuente sobre lo que te espera para disfrutar, déjame contarte sobre el Sistema de métricas de clasificación de Homeaway. No sé exactamente cuánto tiempo hace que se introdujo, pero me enorgullece decir que de sus 691 propiedades de alquiler actuales, GiaMaria ha sido calificada en ocasiones como su propiedad n. ° 1, y nunca menos que su propiedad n. ° 3 .
Ahora: para el río James y el viejo y tranquilo arco de bueyes donde está atracado el GiaMaria, es un lugar increíble para pasar el tiempo. De hecho, es un lugar como ningún otro en todo Estados Unidos, y haré un intento honesto de respaldar esta declaración en la descripción que sigue con las pocas palabras permitidas. En cuanto a la embarcación, es una casa flotante Chris Craft de 50 'que ha sido completamente remodelada por dentro y por fuera para brindar a nuestros huéspedes un ambiente hogareño sin perder la sensación de estar en un viejo barco fluvial. Es moderno en todos los sentidos de la palabra. Se ha reconstruido para tener un baño grande con un tocador de tamaño completo, una ducha de diseño de 4 ', ventiladores y su propio sistema de saneamiento certificado por USCG. Se completa con un colchón Queen de espuma viscoelástica de once pulgadas (Sleep Innovations) y ropa de cama de alta calidad, una cocina pequeña pero completa y un gran salón para relajarse. En el exterior encontrará una gran cubierta superior abierta con excelentes vistas para tomar un café por la mañana o tomar una copa por la noche y una cubierta de proa cubierta inferior.
Ver fotos adjuntas. Pero no solo disfrutarás de GiaMaria. También es su ubicación única. Richmond Yacht Basin es una instalación cerrada solo para miembros e invitados, sin embargo, no tiene nada de aburrido, y está a solo 9 millas de carretera del centro de Richmond. También tiene la distinción de ser el puerto deportivo más antiguo del río James y su entorno no se puede duplicar porque está rodeado por una hermosa isla, el Richmond National Battlefield Park y una granja privada bien mantenida. También está a solo una milla de Osborne Landing, una instalación propiedad del condado que incluye un nuevo muelle de pesca, un lanzamiento de botes de Bass Master, excelentes senderos para caminar a lo largo del río, rampas de lanzamiento de canoas y kayak, pabellones para picnics / comidas al aire libre, baños y maravillosos parques infantiles para niños, y siempre se mantiene en excelente forma, y sin embargo, todo es gratis para el público.
Después de un hermoso viaje en canopy que lo llevará al puerto deportivo, se encontrará parado en el suelo donde vivieron tantas personas famosas y tuvieron lugar eventos que dieron forma a la historia de nuestra nación. Algunos de los personajes históricos que vivían en el cercano asentamiento indio de Arrohateck incluían al hijo del jefe Powhatan, Tanx o (Parahunt) y su hija Pocahontas, quien se casó con su esposo nacido en inglés John Rolfe. Pocahontas y John Rolfe después del matrimonio hicieron su hogar aquí también, y con la ayuda de muchos esclavos sin nombre (negros, indios y blancos) salvaron a Jamestown y a los primeros colonos ingleses al producir un tipo de tabaco "Varina" que tendría un tremendo valor económico en muchos países europeos. Es un lugar donde el Capitán John Smith encontró su "agua más dulce" durante sus exploraciones del "desierto", y en los años posteriores de navegación, el área que rodeaba esos manantiales se convirtió en una parada local conocida como "Taberna del Marinero". Gente como George Washington, Patrick Henry, Abraham Lincoln, Robert E. La madre de Lee, Anne Hill Carter, John Marshall, Presidente de la Corte Suprema de Justicia, Susannah Bowling, Layfayette, Benedict Arnold, Gen. Cornwallis y muchos otros grandes hombres y mujeres pasaron por este arco en el río James en su camino para transformar nuestra nación. Aquí también se libraron batallas en tierra y en el río, tanto durante la Guerra Revolucionaria como durante la Guerra Civil. Y durante la Guerra Revolucionaria, Benedict Arnold hundió la Flota Colonial a la vista de GiaMaria antes de quemar Richmond. Los Ironclads de la Unión como el Monitor y Galena lucharon contra otros Ironclads como el CSS Virginia de la Confederación mientras intentaban pasar a Drewery's Bluff, la "Annapolis" confederada para tratar de someter a Richmond, pero eso nunca sucedió.
Y a la vuelta de la curva del río al este de Richmond Yacht Basin está Henricus, el segundo asentamiento de la Compañía de Londres después de Jamestown en el Nuevo Mundo. Desafortunadamente, el "cittie" original fue destruido por Opechancanough, el "hermano" sucesor del jefe Powhatan durante la masacre india de 1622.
Sin embargo, hoy Henricus es una reconstrucción próspera de cómo era en los días de la "ciudad" de principios de 1600 de Sir Thomas Dale, y muchos de mis invitados que visitaron allí dicen que está a la par con Jamestown.
Justo al final de la carretera hacia el este a lo largo de la Ruta 5 (un Virginia Bi-Way) hay plantaciones como Shirley, que aún es propiedad y está operada por la misma familia desde su inicio en 1613, Berkley, donde Taps se compuso y jugó por primera vez, y donde se celebró el primer Día de Acción de Gracias. posiblemente se celebró, Westover, la casa del presidente William Henry Harrison (Ole 'Tippecanoe), Sherwood Forrest, la casa de "Su Accidencia", el presidente John Tyler. Y también está Evergreen, el lugar de nacimiento de Edmund Ruffin, quien es el padre de la agricultura moderna y la marca de fuego sureña a quien se le atribuye el disparo del disparo que inició la Guerra Civil. Estos son solo algunos de los lugares o atracciones históricas que se encuentran a pocos minutos del espacio de atraque del GiaMaria. Yendo hacia el oeste por la ruta 5 hacia Richmond, encontrará St. La Iglesia Episcopal de John, donde Patrick Henry le dijo al Rey de Inglaterra que se fuera al infierno, o al Cementerio de Hollywood, donde están enterradas muchas figuras históricas como los presidentes Monroe y Tyler. En cuestión de minutos, si eres un aficionado de la Guerra Civil, entonces tienes suerte porque estarás justo en el medio de donde tuvo lugar la Batalla del Cráter, al igual que Cold Harbour, Malvern Hill, White Oak Swamp, Deep Bottom, Chaffin's Granja, Pamplin Historical Park y City Point (Gen. Otorga cuartel general durante el asedio de Petersburgo) y muchos otros sitios de batalla y fortificaciones bien conocidos y no tan conocidos.
Mucho de nuestros viejos y polvorientos comienzos nos hace sentir orgullosos, pero al mismo tiempo avergonzados. Sin embargo, debido a las lecciones aprendidas de nuestro pasado, el área de Richmond hoy se ha convertido en un lugar brillante y reluciente como Roma en siete colinas.
Aquí encontrará muchos y variados museos o rápidos de río para aquellos lo suficientemente valientes como para dar el paso, eventos deportivos de todo tipo, las principales universidades y hospitales como el Colegio Médico de Virginia de la Virginia Commonwealth University, carreras de autos de clase mundial en Richmond International Raceway y ciclismo ( el campeonato mundial UCI 2015), así como el maratón de Richmond (calificado como el 18º más grande de la nación). También hay restaurantes en abundancia, desde los favoritos locales hasta restaurantes de clase mundial. Richmond se está convirtiendo rápidamente en una delicia para los gourmets y en la capital de la cervecería artesanal del sur. Los distritos comerciales elegantes como Carytown, River Road, Short Pump o Stoney Point se encuentran a poca distancia, al igual que los centros comerciales y varios centros comerciales grandes.
Se ofrecen deportes acuáticos y recorridos de muchos tipos en varios lugares cercanos. Los principales recorridos por los jardines (votados como uno de los mejores del país) como el Jardín Botánico Lewis-Ginter o el Parque Maymont, así como los parques nacionales, estatales y locales, se encuentran a pocos minutos del GiaMaria. Y en una o dos horas en automóvil puede estar en las montañas Blue Ridge o Charlottesville o Virginia Beach o Washington, DC, o Williamsburg o Jamestown, o Yorktown, o Petersburgo, o Kings Dominion, o Busch Gardens, y en varios centros comerciales importantes. .
Incluso ahora disfrutamos del Virginia Capital Trail. Es un sendero de 52 millas que recorre en bicicleta / caminar y que atraviesa una superficie dura que une Richmond, la capital de Virginia y las capitales coloniales de Williamsburg y Jamestown. Y todo esto es solo una muestra de lo que encontrarás a tiro de piedra del GiaMaria.
Sin embargo, el área también es una delicia para los amantes de la vida silvestre. Hay muchas especies nativas de plantas y animales, como las raras Lady Slippers, Bald Eagles, antiguos pantanos de cipreses y enebros, Running Cedar y Song Birds en abundancia. Hay zorros, tanto rojos como plateados, y ocasionalmente linces, castores y nutrias. También somos una ruta de vuelo para muchas especies de animales, como mariposas, patos, gansos, colibríes, petirrojos, águilas calvas del norte. Los peces como el bajo rayado, American y Hickory Shad y American Eels desovan aquí en la primavera. Y en el otoño, los antiguos esturiones que pesan más de 500 libras se pueden ver saltar del agua.
Y si le gusta pescar, tenemos tanto la boca grande como la pequeña, varias especies de bagre, tipo de pez de tamaño récord y varios guías locales le garantizarán que pescará un pez gato de 40 libras o más al final del otoño y durante todo el invierno.
Y en una nota totalmente diferente, si bailar es lo tuyo, entonces la compañía de tabaco está justo al final del camino donde puedes festejar hasta altas horas de la noche o podemos conectarte con un grupo de Salsa o Tango argentino animado para algunas lecciones o una Milonga . Una cosa es segura con respecto a dónde descansa el GiaMaria, no será difícil encontrar lugares divertidos que se adapten a sus intereses porque todo está aquí. Sin embargo, nada en mi opinión puede compararse con la paz y la tranquilidad de presenciar la naturaleza desde las cubiertas del barco.

If I have to stay in for the first experience. It definitely needs some fixer uppers and some other touches but overall it was a good experience.
5.0 / 5.0
this charming, rustic and eclectic houseboat on the James provides a perfect venue to experience the tidewaters history of the Richmond area nestled on an inlet. The marina is clean and very safe when enters through a private gate pass some private homes yet it is very accessible to local amenities, 1 mile away and to Richmond. Staying on the river amongst the sea birds and the title flow enhanced my experience of this historic location. Don’t miss the local Civil War Fort near

We had an enjoyable stay on the houseboat. The bed was comfortable, and the accommodations had everything we needed. We even made spaghetti the first night for dinner since we arrived later than planned. The area is private, we only saw a few people and those we did see gave a friendly hello if they didn't stop to chat with us.
For anyone wondering about the movement of the boat, it is very stable. The boat is docked in a channel off the main river so not a lot of boat traffic and the currents don't really cause any movement of the boat. We had a couple windy nights and the boat barely moved, only a few light bumps on the dock or an occasion rock. Once asleep, you wouldn't know if you were on a boat or hotel room. Plenty to do in the area, we spent 1/2 a day Richmond National Battlefield and another 1/2 day in Richmond. Captain Ron was a wonderful host. We recommend a stay if you are looking for a unique experience.

The Gia Maria was everything I was looking for and more. Perfectly serene houseboat on the water. Great views, great space for anyone looking for a taste of the nautical life. I stayed there by myself but it would be perfectly acceptable for a couple and kids. I will most certainly be back. Thank you, Captain Ron, for sharing this idyllic space with us.

Captain Ron was on sight when I arrived and showed me around. House boat had everything I needed and there were parks close by to walk my dog. The bed was a dream to sleep on. The boat has a lot of character which was delightful. If you need a lot of space this isn’t the place for you. I loved it!

We stayed in the GiaMaria for the weekend and it was lovely. Very cozy and rustic. Capt Ron was wonderful to deal with and gave us great recommendations of things to do in the area. We can't wait to rent one of his other houseboats.

Amazing and unique place to stay. Captain Ron was a ideal host and was kind enough to give me a ride to downtown when I was running behind. Definitely will be back sooner than later.

Captain Ron is a gracious and gregarious host. Staying on his houseboat in a quiet marina on the James River was a unique experience. On the upper deck we enjoyed eating breakfast, watching the birds, and toasting the sunsets with a glass of wine. It’s a short drive to the Lily Pad restaurant where we had delicious dinners and great service. The only downside was not having Internet or TV cable service during our stay.

My husband and our dog joined me on this trip! We had a wonderful experience. We stayed 4 nights and was able to cook and have dinner on the boat a couple of nights, it was lovely! The bed was very comfortable and shower was plenty big enough. Captain Ron was the perfect host! We will be back for sure!!

It was a very relaxing stay! The area is beautiful with plenty of areas to explore nearby! Captain Ron is an absolute pleasure to talk to! And has plenty of local knowledge to share. Bonus.. I caught a lot of fish off the back of the boat! One last thing he gave me a signed copy of the BOHEMIAN SKIPPER which he wrote! Top noch guy :)

It was a new experience and got me inspired to look for a houseboat to buy.
We enjoyed cooking, playing Yahtzee , studying and fishing from the deck. My friend caught a catfish & released it.It was a nice time & we really enjoyed meeting Captain Ron. He’s great!

If you decide to stay on the Gia Maria, be prepared to detox from sound pollution and the stress of the everyday. The marina is private and secure, and life moves at a more natural pace once you get down to the dock. The boat herself is not new or fancy, but she is full of personality, comfort, and charm I had a wonderful time spending full days on the upper deck watching the birds and the turtles and feeling the tension just drifting away with the breezes. Ron is a very attentive host with a huge, kind heart and collection of great stories to share. I can’t say enough about what a wonderful time I had staying here!

Really enjoyed the short time we were able to be on the boat. Sunset was great one day the rained the next. Got caught in the heavy traffic around Newport coming and going, so spent too many hours on the road. My teenage grandson and I both wished we would have just stayed at the boat. Enjoyed reading Captain’s book! This was a “bucket list” thing for me. Have never stayed on a boat . Would do it again!

What a great change of pace. Very memorable experience for our family. Everything we needed was right on board. What a huge shower for a boat! The main bed was luxurious. The pull-out couch was very comfortable as a couch but not so comfortable as a bed (needs a mattress upgrade?).

Wow what a great experience! The houseboat was very unique with so much character. We loved living the houseboat life for 4 nights. The location was quiet and beautiful nestled away along the James river. So much wildlife out your window, eagles, osprey, otters, fish jumping along with numerous other birds. Beautiful sunrises and sunsets! The boat has a front deck and back deck with large upper deck. Both decks had seating to enjoy your favorite beverage while taking in the sights & sounds of nature along the river. Capt. Ron, Maria and Curt were extremely accommodating, showing us the ropes of houseboating. Their communication was excellent, we couldn't have asked for better hosts! Capt. Ron was so interesting to talk with, his knowledge and background is amazing! Inside the boat was very clean, so comfy & cozy. It had everything we needed, like Wifi, TV, small kitchen and complete head (bathroom). For cooler nights Capt. Ron has heat & for summer he has AC! We didn't need either for our Spring stay. The unique stay and river nature surroundings alone made for a perfect trip! We will be back!

We had a great time. Captain Ron met us at the boat and answered every question. Living on a boat on the water was fun. We ate dinner on the top deck each night, watching cranes, other wildlife and really lovely moon rises and sunsets. My husband is 6'8" tall and managed very well in the cabin. Thank you for such a different and enjoyable experience.

The mornings and evenings in the river were the high spots of our stay; the boat is in a wonderful spot and well located for touring by car as well as for watching the wildlife along the river. Being able to have breakfast and dinner up on deck was magical, and the marina is very peaceful yet there were enough other people around that it didn’t feel isolated or unsafe.
Of course staying on a boat is more cramped than a hotel room, but that adds to the experience and the charm , and the boat is very well equipped with a decently sized shower, excellent bed, air conditioning units, oven/microwave, two induction hobs, and fridge/feeezer. There are also toilets and a free-to-use washing machine and dryer in the Marina office building.
All the things that mattered most (bathroom, kitchen and equipment, bedding) were clean on arrival, but perhaps one improvement opportunity is that the accommodation could benefit from a more thorough vacuuming.
Captain Ron was super-friendly and helpful, and I could easily have stayed there for a whole week. Indeed I hope one day to return.

Relaxing Weekend Retreat
I booked this houseboat as a unique experience for my fiancé as a Father’s Day weekend retreat. From the moment we arrived on the boat and were greeted by Captain Ron to the time we departed, we had the most amazing and relaxing time. We watched the sunrise in the morning and the sunset in the evening. The boat itself is a nice size so it didn’t feel cramped. The inside was charming and came equipped with kitchen essentials where we were able to brew and enjoy fresh coffee in the morning and there’s an electric cooktop and microwave. It is centrally located close to a Food Lion, Dollar General and other convenience stores. When we weren’t enjoying just relaxing on the boat, we did venture out during the day to a beautiful park also close by perfect for walking, riding bikes and there is a farmer’s market on Saturdays. In the evenings, we enjoyed the soft waves and listening to music. The mattress is large and very comfortable and provided the best sleep. There is also a tv in the living area and a hot spot for wi-fi available. Ron and his wife Ruth have beautiful souls and we truly feel blessed to have met them and will definitely be looking forward to booking our next retreat really soon!

Girls Trip
We had a nice quiet stay...me, my adult daughter, and my sister. We very much enjoyed our evenings on the deck, watching the stars, drinking wine, and laughing. If shiny and new matters to you more than ambience, this might not be the vacation for you. The boat is older, but feels well loved. Sleeping on a houseboat feels very special (and the mattress on the bed is the most comfortable I have ever slept on)

We had a great time during our stay. The boat is great. Very comfortable. The marina is quiet and has free washer/dryer and ice machine, which were hugely helpful. Capt Ron is a great host! Very responsive and full of great stories....read his book that he leaves on board! We are coming back again in September!

Loved the area!
The location is absolutely delightful! Safe and secure behind a locked gate. Located right in beautifully preserved and maintained Civil War Historic Sites. Walk right off the boat and feel like you've stepped right into the era. Just a 20 minute drive in to Richmond. The boat is a fun experience and Captain Ron a sweetie, but the boat, a little like me, is starting to show its age, wear and tear and could really use some repairs and a good thorough cleaning.
