Great River Views, walk to Beach !

Bigger than it looks...says EVERY guest and they love the beautiful waterviews! This sunny, open house has guests enjoying the sunrise from the front deck. in 2014, this house went through a complete renovation..almost like new, All new plumbing, electric, layout...so almost a new house, but some nice older home charms. As you enter through the large front doors, you will want to relax on the sofas or comfy chairs in the livingroom and once again enjoy the views..keep going to the dining area that seats 6 to 8 with a French door out to a patio with BBQ grill...the fully equipped kitchen with island, dishwasher, microwave, stove, and refrigerator. The sunny livingroom greets you when you enter. The main house features 3 bedrooms; 2 with Queen size beds and one with 2 twins. The 2 bathrooms; one with shower/tub and the other is a walk-in showers. The house extends to a great space, almost like a guests suite with private the ability to slide the door door closed and has a wet bar, large great room, queen size bedroom and bath. For a total of 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.

About the host

Host profile image
We first discovered Colonial Beach in 2006 and after enjoying the easy drive from Chevy Chase, MD and the warmth not only of the beach, but also the people...we bought a small cottage on the Point in 2007; ironically next to what is Beachcomber III. We loved sharing it with our family and friends. When not relaxing at the beach, my day job is in the hospitality business and I thought it would be fun to own a vacation cottage rental. In 2011, we bought our first beach rental; Beachcomber I on Hawthorn (sold in 2020) with some of our family members and undertook a major renovation...all of the hard work was worth it...we enjoyed being able to share this hidden secret of Colonial Beach with others. The overwhelming acceptance and positive comments we have received from guests saying how much they enjoyed their stay was very gratifying and in 2012 we bought another rental; Beachcomber II on Wilder. It, too, has been well received by our guests. In 2018, we opened Beachcomber IV on the River, also recently sold to a past guest and neighbor. We now have two Beachcomber Cottages. I will say, it is a lot of work keeping the houses nice for our guests...but we have tremendous help from a team of local people who make sure it is clean, keys work, everything is in working order,..special thanks to Phyllis, Caroline, and my husband George who treat these cottages like their own and Beau, Jimmy, and Glenda who pitch in, as needed. I know, like me, after you experience the welcoming calm of Colonial Beach, you will be back many times...and we hope it is at one of the Beachcomber Cottages!

Why they chose this property

We chose this property for a couple of reasons; view, size, location, and the fact that it was demolished to the studs so that it was really a clean slate. As we reconstructed it; we changed the layout for maximum enjoyment of the view and adding the ability to have a guest suite within the house. Also we liked that it was one story; through the past several years of renting we have found that many of our guests want the accessibility of one level living.

What makes this property unique

My husband and I stayed in the house in the fall of 2022 as our home next door went through major renovation. We loved this house for all the reasons our guests have told us; the views, the SPACE, the access to walk to the beach. We found the beds comfortable and while there took the time to upgrade the livingroom furniture, re-vamp the den furniture . We added fencing to the front yard for our friends and guests who bring their well behaved dogs! Many guests in our past rentals have enjoyed that we are family friendly; including well behaved dogs; breed, size and age considered.
Please note, we take guest comments seriously. Some guests have commented on the beds. We found the beds very firm when we tested them so bought a new matttess, put gel pads on the other two mattresses. We tested the beds, and while they weren't as firm and more comfortable, we still found them to be squeaky. We tightened the headboards. No luck. Then we found the solution; it wasn't the mattress at all...it was the box spring. Happy to report, comfortable beds and the squeak is gone; thanks for the feedback!
