house rental amenities
There is just so much right here in McLean, VA it's impossible to list it all!
The closest grocery store is within a block of the property. There is a CVS, Total Beverage with loads of fine wines and beer, Drycleaners, Starbucks, and 26 restaurants within 6 blocks of the property.
Do you have someone that is handicapped that really needs a completely handicapped facility? There is one just around the block -please call or email me for more details.
Parking in front is FREE and up to four cars will fit right in the driveway.
Just 10 minutes from the house is some of the best shopping in DC! There is everything from Macy's to Versace. Victoria's Secret, Theatre Style Movies, and my Favorite Restaurant - Coastal Flats are right here. Try the Crabcakes at Coastal Flats - I can't find a better one! J. Gilberts is great high end steak house located right down the street and has a very nice lunch menu, but sit in the bar section - the bartender is hysterical. He really should have been a comedian.
There is a Fairfax County Olympic Sized Swimming Pool that is also open to non residents if you need to take a dip or work out - they have a great weight room for anyone that needs a serious workout.
I would encourage anyone to walk, jog or ride around the neighborhood right behind the house. It's really pretty with well landscaped lawns and some really beautiful million dollar homes.
Keep your eyes open in McLean! Former Vice President Cheney Lives here, I have seen Collin Powell at McDonalds (I got a little star struck!), Queen Noor lives in McLean along with the CEO of AOL....You never know who you will see at Starbucks getting coffee before they head off to work!
You can even have someone else park your car for you at the grocery store...Don't worry it's just McLean...People really are very nice...
