The house fit our needs. When we arrived we found the front door closer was broken, the toilet paper holder was falling off the wall, toilet seats were loose and within 30 minutes of walking around the baby’s feet were filthy black. The floors looked clean but they were not. Overall we had a great time. Thank you so much!

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

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!

Adorable house, but right on main road
The house was great. Fantastic kitchen, nice modern decor. Could use a few side lamps as the overhead lighting is VERY bright. MBR was very comfortable. The bunks in the second BR would be great for smaller kids, but my teens were a little cramped. I love that the yard was fenced, but the location was a negative for me. It IS indeed walkable to many shops and restaurants, but being right on the road meant lots of traffic, and it’s right next to a car wash that operates around the clock. Overall, if you don’t mind being on the main road, this is a great choice!

Perfect cottage
This cottage was right on the main road in Colonial Beach. It was very clean and comfortable and tastefully decorated. The kitchen was fully equipped for cooking. The outdoor area was relaxing and had a fire pit and grill. The location was close to everything in town. You could walk to the beach and many stores and restaurants. We love the area and hope to return soon!

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.

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.

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!
