Picture Perfect Waterfront in town Sleeps 6 Expansive Outdoor dining area

Relax and enjoy the sounds of lapping waters just feet from the back deck at Picture Perfect! Our house is recently renovated and tastefully decorated with a coastal theme. Located in the town of Colonial Beach on "The Point" and Monroe Bay, we are just 5 blocks away on the other side of the peninsula and the beach areas. Monroe Bay has several marinas where you can dock your boat and enjoy our stunning sunset water views!

Reflections of a perfect weekend
This was our fourth trip to Colonial Beach and by far the best location we have stayed. Being on the deck enjoying the view of the bay was our favorite place to be. We loved the interior design of the house, but especially loved the outdoor areas. The location to all of our favorite spots (beach and dining) was perfect, being just a short walk or cart ride away. Neighborhood was quiet and the views spectacular. This will be our go to every time we visit!

Picture Perfect!
This property exceeded any expectation I had. The view really is picture perfect. The deck is amazing and we spent a lot of time out there. The inside is equally impressive - beautiful decor, big kitchen with all you need, huge TV! We can’t wait to go back.

What a GREAT house!
We absolutely loved this house! The water view is truly amazing, pictures don’t do it justice. We spent lots of time sitting down by the water, fishing and eating meals on the deck. We enjoyed our visitors including ducks, a swan, herons, turtles and osprey. Just heaven! The house is super clean, thoughtfully organized and has everything you could need. We enjoyed watching the Olympics on the large screen TV too. We really appreciated the extra touches like shampoo/conditioner/body soap in the showers and board/card games. We hope to come back next summer! Now that I’ve seen this view, it will be hard to stay anywhere else!!

Amazing Girls’ weekend trip
This property is definitely a gem! From the moment we walked into the front door and can see straight through the back door onto the water, it was breathtaking. The community was very quiet. Every place we wanted to go was within walking distance so we did. We all agreed that the beds were the best we've ever slept on. The house was fully stocked with everything we needed in the bathrooms and kitchen. They even had citronella candles on the patio. This was a much needed getaway for some old high school friends and thank you for such a beautiful place to spend time together. A couple dining recommendations as well. We walked to Los Hermanos Cantina, excellent drinks and delicious food. We also dined at Sunflower (French/Thai) which was wonderful as well. The sushi was on point as well as the creme brulee for dessert. Dan was a great host and very responsive. We loved everything about it and would love to rebook next year.

This beautiful cottage is super clean, well equipped, with calming and stylish decor, and superior views. Our group of 3 adults also appreciated the nice linens, comfy mattresses, luggage racks, gas grill, the cool temperature of the home upon our arrival and the timely correspondence with the host.

Beautiful view
The view is beautiful and prefect to just sit outside and unwind. We had a nice dinner on the deck and were able to get some fishing in. My son caught his firsr fish ever. The beach is walkable and I liked how calm the water was. Dan was always quick to reply with any assistance we needed. We plan on making this house a yearly getaway.

That view!
My husband and I truly enjoyed our stay at this beautiful property. It’s the nicest place we’ve stayed in Colonial Beach. Dan, the host, was quick to answer any questions. The home is tastefully decorated and quite comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed for the little amount of cooking that we did. The bed was comfortable with nice linens. The view of Monroe Bay was exceptional!! We would love to stay again with friends. The only issue might be the full size beds in the other two bedrooms. That would be a challenge for most couples. We loved our time at this beautiful home!!

Great place and layout. Nicely equipped kitchen. Only suggestion is to have a little larger kitchen table (6) instead of 4. Easy peasy.

Great Getaway to Colonial Beach!
We had a great stay here - the home was clean, nicely decorated, the kitchen was very well stocked and great access to the river. The teens loved being able to step right outside and fish. Good fishing too! We had rainy weather yet that didn't stop us from having a great time. Dan is excellent and timely with his communications too. Hope to return here this summer!

Truly Perfect!
We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful property! The view is extraordinary, we could (and did) sit for hours just looking at the water and watching the boats and all the wildlife (ducks, cormorants, osprey, fish, etc.) from the deck. Every inch of the house has been updated beautifully. The house was very comfortable, perfectly clean, and came with everything we could have possibly needed for our stay. Communication with the host was friendly and convenient, he offered us helpful information about dining, renting golf carts, and navigating the town. This property truly is "picture perfect" and we enjoyed our stay very much!
