It could have used measuring cups but we made due with measuring spoons. I would recommend fixing the toilet paper holder in the main bathroom; it kept falling downward and we finally just put the paper on the counter for our stay. The hot/cold water was not easily adjustable in the master bathroom; I switched to main bathroom but my sister got the master to work.

This was our 4th time staying at this property. We can't get enough of the view and the peace and calm. The house is comfortable with beautiful interior design and all you need to feel right at home. This will always be our go to property when we stay in Colonial Beach.

We had a wonderful stay for a birthday weekend. The house was well located and adorably decorated. Being right on the water allowed for a peaceful morning coffee or evening beverage! It was a very warm weekend so returning to a wonderfully cold house was refreshing. Thanks for a great stay.

Perfect Place to Stay

We were very impressed with the location and cleanliness of the house. The information on the history of the town and great places to eat or activities in the area was helpful. We would rent from this owner again.

Great beach house!

This was our second stay at “Picture Perfect”. We loved the deck, the quiet neighborhood and the visits from so many interesting birds. We had a great time riding through the area in our golf cart. We had great food at the local restaurants. We will look forward to another visit.

We had a wonderful and restful time.What you see advertised is what you get on location: Picture perfect.The check-in was easy and the kitchen is fully equipped. The house is nicely decorated.We went around the town and to the beaches. But for couple days the weather was not at its best: it rained and it was cloudy.Overall, it was a great experience.
