About the host

Hosted by Carolyn Schreiner

Host profile image
My family is from Northern Virginia. My mom had a dream of having a second home large enough for her kids and grandchildren to visit and enjoy. We fell in love with the town of Colonial Beach and all enjoyed vacationing here and celebrating holidays. I currently live 2 blooks away from our family vacation home.

Why they chose this property

Our home is on The Point in Colonial Beach Virginia. There are two beaches on The Point, our home is located 2 blocks from the main beach and about a mile and from the other beach. The point is surrounded by the Potomac River on three sides, it's a great place for walking or biking along the river.

What makes this property unique

Our home is spacious and has plenty of room for families spread out or to spend time together on front porch or in large living room with 3 sofas. The kitchen is right off the living room and offers seating around the u-shaped counter. There is also a second smaller living/sitting room with a pull-out sofa behind the kitchen. All the bedrooms are spacious and include TV's. The master bedroom is very spacious with an attached bathroom, large walk-in closet and sitting area with couch and small desk.
