Hello & Welcome - I’m Lin.

I live along the Potomac River

in Colonial Beach, Virginia. 

I need some helping hands.

Do you need a vacation?  

Let’s trade! 

Delaney‘s Compound is my home and passion project.  

Located on a peninsula (1 mile long and 4 blocks wide), it’s a cozy, compact getaway, that started life as a fishing retreat (circa 1898). It’s now grown to include a Guest House, Studio Apartment, Vintage Trailer & original Main House. 

Enjoy…

hammocks, firepit, hot tub, kayaks, & bikes!

I started “Beach House Barter” to welcome people interested in bartering for a beautiful place to stay in a bourgeoning creative community.  It’s a work-in-progress and I welcome skilled or unskilled guests who want to barter a 3 or 6 night vacation, here in Colonial Beach, Virginia, in return for assistance on a project, a repair, or just general maintenance of Delaney’s Compound.
