Relaxing Getaway

We had a wonderful time at your cottage. It was in a great location with easy access to walk to the water and restaurants. Our dog loved the fenced in yard too! We would definitely recommend this place to others. Thank you for sharing your cottage.

Very clean and comfortable. Fenced in lot was great for letting our dog walk around off leash. Off street parking was a plus. Don't miss breakfast at Lenny's a short walk away or the model train store next door.

Winter Getaway

The overall cleanliness of the cottage was a 10/10. Everything was neat and clean. Other than snow not being shoveled and the steps being slippery I have no complaints.

Beautiful home in a quiet tranquil location

Home is awesome, very well taken care and decorated nicely. All the amenities we needed got a peaceful stay. Very cozy and quiet. The town itself was very accommodating and people are very pleasant. Definitely recommended this hike if your looking for a location to just unplug from your normal routine and relax.

Good home base during stay

We booked this cottage for two, to provide a home base while we explored the local state parks and beaches. It had a nice large kitchen and just enough space to fit our needs. You can sometimes hear a local car wash dryer or sirens from the rescue squad, but when you’re inside it’s quiet. Would be a great place for a couple or single family to enjoy!

Great house on Main street

The house was comfortable and as described. It was within walking distance of the beach, restaurants, and stores. Even though the weather didn't cooperate, we found plenty to do around town and met a lot of friendly locals while out and about. Would visit Colonial Beach again. Thanks for the great stay!

Perfect location for a quick DC escape

The house is right on the main road leading downtown and was spotless! There is a great Spa two doors down that was very reasonably priced. I had no idea colonial beach was a golf cart community, book your cart rental before you come down, two are within walking distance. You will save on the parking! Also check out Los Hermanos, great Mexican food. Host was super accommodating, will be back for sure!

Clean, cozy, and convenient

Was in the area for a sporting event with friends and needed a place to stay. This property was clean, cozy, and located in a neat area. The surrounding businesses are active through the night but aren't loud enough to make a difference. Would've been nice to explore the Colonial Beach area but didn't have the time to do so. I would definitely recommend if you're looking for a clean place to stay in the area.

Cute as a button

This property is absolutely adorable. The only issue is the beds are not the most comfortable. Also while we were there, they decided they wanted to repave the road out front so needless to say it was rather noisy the last two nights there. They paved all night long.

Loved Colonial Beach

We enjoyed our visit to Colonial Beach very much. Moe was extremely communicative throughout the process. We knew exactly what to do to get in and before leaving. The PRO: the house was spacious enough for a family of four to comfortably stay; the property was completely fenced in, which is great if you’re traveling with kids or pets; there was a fire pit area in the back and a lovely front porch; it was very clean and newly updated; and it was close to everything. Important to mention: the mattresses are very firm, some prefer softer beds. The location of the home is on a main road. Both mornings there was a LOT of traffic due to a car show in town. If you’re a light sleeper, this may be an issue for you. Lastly, when loaded down with beach gear, the walk will take longer than 7-10 mins. But if you’re in better shape than this 56 year old, it may not be an issue. All in all, I would recommend this VRBO. I have a feeling many happy memories are made there.

Disappointed

The property manager was fast to respond, so that was a good thing. The rug that was in the living room smelled like pee, not sure if it was a dog or a cat. I reached out to the property manager and he said that he would have the cleaning crew come to clean once again because he said jt was the first time that anyone complained about the smell. Obviously if they have pet's they are used to the smell of dog pee, I have no pet's so I'm definitely going to knows something is off with the smell. I can't belive the cleaning crew didn't catch the smell. I would never rent that house again. because i
