Perfect place absolutely adorable and we thoroughly enjoyed our time together relaxing. First time to colonial Beach and it is a cute town and this was the perfect place to stay.
We had a wonderful weekend away with our two pups. The views of the water from the front porch or deck were beautiful. We brought the dogs into town for a pup cup while we enjoyed ice cream, and the pups approved of the wine tasting at Ingleside. The place was very clean and well maintained. We hope to return for a weekend I the fall potentially.
Very clean, tastefully updated, great kitchen, amazing river views. Front porch and second floor balcony are perfect for watching wildlife, including bald eagels, osprey, sea gulls, and dolphins. Comfy, generouly sized beds. Quiet. Safe.
As always, LPOP offered a delightful long weekend. This is our absolute favorite place to stay at CB! We had a small snafu with the hot water heater but Dan and Lauren were very gracious and fair about the inconvenience! The property was spotless, comfortable and spacious. Thank you so much, Dan and Lauren. See ya next year!Vanessa
We were 3 women that got away for the weekend to decompress and catch up. The house and location were absolutely perfect! The house has old charm and new spaces. We loved it. The dock was the highlight. We sat out there for hours. Bring a bike! Ride to Dockside or Ice House for drinks. We had a great time and look forward to coming back. The house has everything you need!

Hi Diane,
Thank you so much for staying at LPOP again, and for taking the time to write a review! We're so glad you had a wonderful time and look forward to hosting you again soon!

The house is lovely, with a kitchen dreams are made of — great for cooking, conversing, and eating. Tons of space, everything you could possibly need to cook or bake, and plenty of storage in the cabinets and pantry for all your snacks and ingredients.The fire pit in the front yard was perfect for roasting marshmallows (the provided camp chairs and corn hole set made it even better), and the picnic table next to the grill was great for sitting outside while the burgers were on. The private dock is lovely and well maintained, with stairs down to the shoreline, and great for fishing or just relaxing. Plus, the front porch and balcony are well situated to enjoy the sunrise or just sit and watch the boats — and even dolphins! — go by. If the weather’s not cooperating, the sun room’s a comfortable substitute with the same great view. It’s about a mile from the main beaches and commercial areas of Colonial Beach, so it’s much quieter (when there aren’t people shooting off their leftover 4th of July fireworks ), but you’ll likely want to bike or drive to restaurants or the beach. Book your golf cart well in advance!We had an issue with the water heater at 10pm the night we arrived, but Dan responded within minutes and put us in touch with the property manager, who offered to come out despite the late hour. It ended up being a quick fix I could take care of, but it was great to know how attentive and responsive both the host and property manager were. Can’t wait to come back!
