Just what we needed. Big house with space for everyone. Safe water that allowed youngest to play without knock-out waves, so grandma could handle it alone and give M&D a break. Quiet neighborhood with no retail to bait kids. A perfect hideaway😁

Fabulous family vacation
House was spacious and perfect for us. We wanted a quiet beach week. We had a view of the beach from the house. Kitchen was well stocked. Beds were super comfortable. We found a wagon in the shed which worked perfectly to get kids beach toys and more to the beach. Kids ride their bikes on very quiet streets in the neighborhood. Loved it !!!

Weeks Family Vacation
This home is perfect for multiple families to meet. Two bwdrooms on one aide of the house and another bedroom across the house all on the main floor. Two additional bwdrooms upstairs and three bathrooms. Everyone was comfortable and had privacy and the best part was the house was really quiet. We couldn't hear people walkaround above us. The wings are separated by a huge living room with couches, games, books and a huge dining table. Charming! There is a spectacular view of the water and the town is easy to walk around in with lots of good restaurants. Our hosts made sure we literally had everything we needed. My favorite touch were the real cotton linens. No cheap, hot, polyester towels sherts, or comforters -it was like staying at your grandma's house. Highly recommend.

Wonderful Spring Vacation
We had an amazing week in Colonial Beach. We had my parents and our 5 children (ranging in age from 17-5) stay with us and we all enjoyed the vacation! We were impressed with how clean the home was and the amount of space. The kids were all able to spread out and my younger ones really enjoyed the toys in the living room and the swing set outside. One of my favorite things to do was to drink my morning coffee on the side porch and listen to the birds. We drove to Washington D.C for a day and to Fredericksburg twice (we loved Fredericksburg!) and then spent the other days enjoying the beach, checking out Washington's Birthplace, and walking around town. I highly recommend staying here and would love to come back at some point in the future.

Great location one block from beach
This is a great house for a family. The original house has a kitchen and three bedrooms. A family dining and living room connect it to another building with more bedrooms and a second kitchen. The main kitchen is very well stocked. We didn’t use the second kitchen. The screened porch was fabulous once we dusted off the pollen! It’s spring, there was pollen everywhere. There’s a tall tree in the corner of the yard with an osprey nest in it! There were plenty of toys and games and puzzles for kids and a swing set in the yard. There are steps up to the dining area so check if this is the house for you if you have mobility concerns. The location one block from the beach is fabulous. Didn’t have to worry about parking, just strolled down the beach. The house has beach chairs and some floating toys. Overall very enjoyable stay for a few days this spring!

Charming house, gorgeous location
We were a group of eight: a family of five with grown children, two grandparents and a friend, spending the Christmas holiday together. The house was absolutely wonderful -- beautiful views of the river, and a sprawling layout that allowed us to spread out. We appreciated the three bathrooms, and an entire wing for the kids to hang out in. We cooked together -- and having the second kitchen came in really handy while preparing our holiday feast. The large dining table was fantastic for meals and games. The staircase and the bedrooms are so charming, and the screened porch was wonderful in the afternoon sun. We staying in the off-season, so there weren't a lot of restaurants open, but we enjoyed walking around the cute town and took some gorgeous family photos on the beach. We drove into DC twice. We all agreed we'd love to come back again, maybe next time in the summer so we could enjoy the beach even more. Thank you for sharing your home with us!

Beautiful house with loads of character. Perfect for a large family with grandchildren. The house had everything for a comfortable stay. Easy access to beach. We enjoyed the water view from windows. Great coffee shop with delicious baked goods and restaurants were so close by. Everyone waves to each other in this friendly town, great fun! We rented a golf cart so easy parking. We'll be coming back for another visit!

Lovely House and Beautiful Water View
This house and the close proximity to the water exceeded our expectations! We're a family of 10 (6 adults, 4 children) and there was ample space for everyone. The family room provided a nice assortment of books, toys for kids, TV, sectional sofa, and a large dining table with a water view. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes and cooking essentials. Everyone loved the space and the layout of the house. It was just perfect for our family and we hope to return in the future.

Beautiful Home in a little beach town
This is is our third year renting a house for our family vacation, and this by far was my favorite trip. Colonial Beach is a smaller town, not touristy by any means. Perfect for our family as we had young kids (4 under 4), so we would be spending most of our time in the home and around town anyway. The beach was practically right outside of the house. We loved watching the sunrise and the neighborhood itself was pretty quiet and very family friendly. The house was WELL stocked. Lots of pots, pans, spices, plates, cups, towels, sheets, trash bags, toilet paper, etc. The check in and out process was a breeze. I'm not sure we will visit this town again as we like to rotate annually where we go, but if we do, we will absolutely stay here again.

Fantastic family getaway spot
We loved our stay at this property. We are a group of 2 young kids and 5 adults. The swings in the yard, the very short walk to the beach (in sight of the house!), the comfy screened-in porch, and even the osprey nest on site (!) made this a fun and comfortable vacation home for our 3 night stay. Highly recommend!

Perfect Place to Relax
Just returned from a week at this Colonial Beach property. The house was big enough to accommodate two families: mine (three people) and my best friend's (five people). There was plenty of room for all of us to be together and have fun but also be alone for some much needed quiet. The house was stocked with much more than we anticipated (don't bring coffee filters!) and lots of toys for the kiddos. We appreciated the shed with the beach toys, especially since there was a fairly big inflatable pool that came in handy when the beach was closed. We had never been to Colonial Beach before so we didn't know what to expect. It's a cute little town that's perfect if you don't like overly touristy areas. If we decide to ever return, we will definitely consider renting this property again.

Family Weekend
This property is ideal for a relaxing family weekend. We had plenty of space for gathering and separating! Plus, the charming house was clean and is well-equipped. We thoroughly enjoyed the outdoor spaces including the screened porch, side porch, and backyard with swing set. There is ample off-street parking and the two kitchens and two sets of washer/dryers came in handy. The views of the river from the house are lovely and the walk to the beach is short and stress-free. We would return in an instant!

Madison Avenue Home
The home on Madison Ave was clean, comfortable, and very charming. Great location to everything, being able to walk instead of getting in car to travel. A nice yard for the kids, and great porches to read, chat, and watch the sun set ( or rise). Our family consists of 6 adults and 3 children and the home was very accommodating. We all enjoyed our stay and would surely recommend this home!!
