Thanks for visiting. Always great to host a group of friends! I love that the city hosts car shows and friendly retro events. Such a fun little town. Come back anytime and next time, bring your swimsuits too!
It was certainly a delightful experience staying at this beach house. As other renters commented, the house was very well maintained and immaculate. The beautiful bright colors throughout the home added to our excitement. The house was well organized with very helpful labeling along with instructions regarding use of the property.The proximity of this home being only 2 blocks from the beach was perfect for our time at the beach and for attending the Colonial Beach crab seafood festival. The yellow wagon provided by the owner Diana was very helpful in transporting our items to the festival. It is clear that the owner Diana takes a lot of pride in her home and wants to make it as comfortable as possible for the guests. Thank you Diana for sharing your beautiful home with us and for making it such a memorable experience! We highly recommend this home for interested renters and look forward to another stay if we're in the area again!
One the absolute best VRBOs.Clean doesn’t even begin to describe this house!Communication with host was perfect.This was our first time in Colonia Beach and the town and house are absolutely perfect. If you are searching for a place in CB, this one is perfect!
Diana’s home was one of the cleanest rentals I’ve ever stayed in. Along with it, no strong chemical cleaning smell either. The home really was the highlight of the trip. Having a young family we were primarily on the beach or in the home. It was lovely to cook and spend quality time in. Comfy beds, robes, a fantastic beach wagon, and a gorgeous master suite screened in porch with fans. An easy walk to beach and boardwalk too! Diana’s communication was beyond. I highly recommend renting from her!

Thank you so much! We love hosting families. What a fun little beach town, don't you think! Glad the house suited you. I have a great cleaner and we love to ensure guests have a wonderful experience. Come back anytime!
What a beautiful home. Everything was amazing from the layout to all the items needed to make my family very comfortable. The location was really situated within walking distance to so much for those who liked to walk. We did rent a Golf Cart as us older ones 70 and above enjoyed the riding and checking out the area instead of driving our vehicles. We only had 2 vehicles, so parking was not an issue at all. My older sister already commented on renting the same "BEACH HOUSE" when family gets together again in the future :) We did strip the beds even though not requested but to hopefully make it easier for the cleaning crew. Thank you again Diana for being so kind when I emailed you with any questions. The Celebration of Life for my sweet husband of 53 years went off beautifully. It was emotional and exhausting but having to go back to a relaxing home made it the best. I know others who decide to rent will be as impressed as I was :)

While pleasing guests is our top priority, it is often hard to make guests happy who do not make a proper reservation and cannot use the VRBO app. This guest was unhappy right from the start because she rented for 2 people but later wanted 7 people to stay. She also rented with no pets and then wanted to bring 2 pets. With a full month to straighten out her reservation the elderly guest waited 15 days to pay 1 pet fee, and then was frustrated thinking she’d already paid for both pets. The day prior to her arrival I tried to explain she hadn’t paid for the 2nd pet, and she couldn’t figure out how to use the app. She was upset about having to pay the 2nd pet fee, thinking she’d already paid it. But she had not. She was confused. That scenario played out all week. Confusion over an UPstairs master bedroom. Confusion over how to get the door code thru the app. Confusion on how to unlock the front door using a code. And confusion over why she had to use an app and follow rules. Unfortunately, this guest is not welcome to return and I would not rent to her again. I would warn other home owners to shy away from guests who cannot follow simple rules or make an honest reservation.
We had a lovely stay in the Beach House on Boundary. Updated, very clean house with lots of thought put into what a vacationer will need. Short walk to the beach, cute shops, and fun restaurants. Quiet community. Would definitely stay again.
We loved our stay. The location is prefect! The house was amazing and met all our needs. Thanks so much for a great get away!

Thank you kindly for the lovely review. I appreciate your stay and am so pleased the house met your needs. We always love well-organized and appreciative guests and try to provide everything they might need during their stay. Come back anytime and thank you again for choosing Beach House for your family vacation!
We had a lovely time staying in this house at Colonial Beach. It had everything we needed for all ages (infant through seniors) and was a perfect location. Easy access to the beach, restaurants, and the public dock to use our kayaks.

Thank you for visiting Colonial Beach and choosing Beach House for your getaway! It's a great house in a great location! By the way, I just learned to Kayak myself and we had 4 in Kayaks on Monroe Bay. It was absolutely lovely. The Colonial Beach Kayak/Boat launch is nearby and parking is free at the beach right now, so double joy! Afterwards we went to Dockside Tiki Bar and had a delicious meal on the beach. Thank you again for visiting and the great review. We love sharing our home with multigenerational families. Come back anytime!
The home was clean, and the owner communicated promptly throughout our stay. My biggest advice is to read the listing very carefully. I overlooked that the rental is based on the number of guests rather than simply renting the entire home, which resulted in an unexpected added cost. That was my oversight, as it is disclosed in the listing.That said, the repeated conversations leading up to our stay about the guest count felt uncomfortable. As responsible guests, it felt like our honesty was being questioned over what was simply a misunderstanding.Once we arrived, we found an extensive binder of house rules and reminders throughout the home. Combined with the exterior cameras, it created an atmosphere where we felt like we were walking on eggshells instead of relaxing. We also found ants in one of the bathrooms.Colonial Beach is a quaint, quiet town, although there isn't a lot to do. The owner recommended jellyfish sting spray, which was a thoughtful suggestion, though we still got stung; that's simply part of the area, not a reflection of the property.Overall, we enjoyed spending time with our friends, but the strict atmosphere and focus on guest counts made this stay feel less relaxing than we had hoped. Future guests should be sure to read the listing carefully so there are no surprises.

This was not a pleasant experience. Jessica changed the guest count at the last minute, and added 5 children. She exceeded the guest count allowed by the property (8) without permission, and then responded as if she was entitled to break the rules and change the numbers as she wished without taking any responsibility. She was ungrateful for the help we offered to accommodate her last minute changes.
The outdoor cameras protect the home 24/7 and protect the guests as well. They only cover the door so there are PLENTY of areas where guests can relax if they are camera shy. All of this is 100% communicated in the listing, rules, description, and messages prior to check-in.
Renting my home is a not hard and we have 5 years of 5-star reviews. It's difficult for us to work with disrespectful renters who fail to make an accurate reservation, are entitled and threatening, and then want to blame us that they rented a house with simple, practical rules (like guest count must match the reservation, don't bring 5 children when you said you were bringing 6 adults, and don't park illegally).
I'd advise VRBO home owners to avoid this renter.
We stayed at Diana’s beach house for the Colonial Beach triathalon. It was walkable to everything and comfy for a group of 8. The place is very well organized and homey.
Everything was wonderful! House was like a brand new build, communication was perfect, and location was great. We hope to stay again in the summer!

Thank you so much! We do our utmost to ensure guests have a great time. We love our house and sharing it with others makes it just a little more fun. Colonial Beach is cute in the winter: a great laid-back time to enjoy family and food away from home. Come back anytime!
The house was perfectly able to accommodate us, with plenty of room to spread out. Very easy walk to the beach and to restaurants, a short drive to anything you could need.

Thank you for the 5-star review! I am so happy you enjoyed the location and beach, and the cute restaurants nearby. It is a fun little resort town. I love sharing the house with great guests for weekend get-aways. Come back anytime!
Amazing weekend with family celebrating a birthday. Listing was just as advertised and perfect location to walk to beach or walk to restaurants and bars at night and catch the sunset. Peaceful neighborhood to have morning coffee and listen to churchbells and just steps to activities when you are ready for the day. Well stocked property and very responsive and friendly host. Thanks for a great time and lasting memories!
