About this property
Historic Marshall house w/3 King sized beds, 11 total beds & saltwater Pool
Unique 1920s estate with a Mediterranean flair.

Two King masters w/adjoining baths, 3rd master bedroom (choose a King or w/2 twins). NO EVENTS ARE PERMITTED. Home is strictly for accommodations only. No animals are allowed on the premises. This spacious home sleeps up to 16 guests (2) trundles may not be suitable for older guests, there is also / (1) kids bed that can be set up upon request. Home is strictly for accommodations as restricted under the city permit.
It is an easy walk to numerous historic parks, and two blocks from the 1812, Union Presbyterian Seminary grounds featuring a 56-acre campus with historic architecture second to none. The home is ideal for privacy with numerous verandas, an enticing saltwater swimming pool, and several patios, featuring a 5000 s.f. home with a formal dining room (seats up to 10, w/drop leaf for 4 more), designer art deco kitchen, with 5 burner gas cooktop, double oven, commercial ice maker, and SubZero appliances. Two King masters suites w/adjoining baths, third master bedroom w/fireplace & adjoining bath (flexible option for a third King bed or two twin beds as seen in the photos). Ask about our other flexible sleeping options, this spacious home can accommodate first-floor sleeping too.
This home is located in the registered historic district and is surrounded by some of the most prestigious and unique historic homes featured in the Richmond garden tour. All of which is surrounded by prized historic buildings and mature landscapes and parks abound. As such this is an idyllic setting for family gatherings and comfortable surroundings when visiting the City's nearby attractions.

Second formal living area with fireplace, w/pull-out queen sectional, and large TV area with french doors leading to a covered outdoor patio with additional plush outdoor seating overlooking the swimming pool. Chefs kitchen with two sinks, 5 burner gas stove, custom cabinets, and limestone countertops with a large seating area. Features Keurig coffee bar, plus gas fireplace and adjacent plush seating areas one on each end of the large kitchen which makes for private and quiet morning coffee areas or separate TV areas on each end of the kitchen.

About the host
Hosted by Kim Chandler

We are a busy family of 4 who has over the years enjoyed restoring historical properties and sharing our love of unique older homes with other travelers on VRBO. We are a premier host of Dryden House in Cape Charles, VA, and now have over 50 reviews on VRBO and we are also frequent guests of VRBO properties. We have learned the value of some of the smaller details that can detract from or enhance a family getaway and try to make our guests feel welcome in our home.
READ A RECENT 2022 REVIEW OF OUR 5-star DRYDEN HOUSE BEACH PROPERTY-
Best family vacation ever!!!! This property was the nicest house and location we have rented in 25 years. This house had everything you could ever need or want. It was by far the most well-equipped vrbo imaginable!!! We have rented a property on the coast (mostly OBX) for 25 years. For our family of grandparents, 30 to 40 year old children., 8,5,and 9 month old grandchildren.....The Dryden House was a vacation that we will never forget!!
We Strive for quality guest experiences and personalized details. We attribute our past success to repeat guests and often have bookings a year in advance while our guests are still enjoying their stay. This speaks to the VRBO experience of renting a historic home in one of Virginia's picturesque historic districts.

Why they chose this property
We are the third owners of the Marshall house in the last 100 years. We have taken on the challenge of some neglect and embraced the opportunities of restoring this property to its former glory. Between guests, in the year to come, we will be on a mission of constant improvements such as updated paint colors and appliances. We also have big plans for the outdoor space, an inviting fire pit, an extended grilling area, and plenty of additional seating. This hopefully means that all our guests have something new to look forward to this season. We welcome suggestions for improvements in all ways big and small as this home is intended to be a lifelong project for us as we head towards retirement.
What makes this property unique
Location! Location! Location! Great neighborhood to enjoy the 56-acre Seminary campus with its historical charm and walking paths and nearby parks and tennis courts. We also have a nearby community pool free to all guests with an outdoor toddler water play area and the Arthur Ashe walking trail and tennis courts in Battery Park.
The relaxing & private saltwater pool is an added bonus in summer, plus a large grass area behind the guest house is perfect for volleyball, bat mitten, boules or croquet.
Fantastic chef's kitchen with gas cooktop, beverage Frig, and commercial ice maker, this is truly a home away from home where serving a large meal in other short-term rentals is often a chore, where serving dishes and oversized cooking pans are scarce.
Private parking is another plus for guests having more than one vehicle a must as overnight parking in the city nearby can be a challenge. The unique low-profile front porch allows wheelchair accessibility and the first-floor queen bedroom can accommodate guests who have trouble with stairs. This house has something for everyone as far as private spaces and patios. Great for larger groups who still value privacy and a quiet atmosphere.
