Great location, well stocked house

We stayed here for a long weekend with 6 adults and 1 kiddo, had plenty of space. Wifi was great, plenty of seating and dining space, lots of gadgets and supplies in the kitchen. This is definitely an older beach house but was very clea, the only reason I docked a star on cleanliness was for the bathrooms - they were clean but need some TLC on the tile work. Overall we had a great visit and would recommend!

We had a marvelous stay!

We came for the Riverfest weekend. The property is walking distance to the beach and boardwalk. It’s in a quiet neighborhood with plenty of space. We loved the fenced in back porch. Highly recommend! We would love to come back and stay again!

Great house at Colonial Beach

This is a very nice house located conveniently within a short walking distance to the beach. Each bedroom was spacious with comfortable beds, comfortable living and dining room, nice screened-in porch. Golf cart rentals were available to drive to the many good places to eat and to watch beautiful sunsets from different areas. We were able to enjoy relaxing time at the house and fun times at the beach. It is a short drive to Fredericksburg which also has a lot of nice shops and good places to eat, and a train station which we took in to Washington DC. I would definitely recommend staying here.

Family Gathering

Hi Joel. We had a blast. Since my house across the street is a 2 bedroom cottage, we needed room for the growing family. My boys and their families had a great time. Thanks. They definition lived the layout and being right across the street was a plus!!!

Really great house!

We took our grandkids and adult children with us to this property. We had a wonderful time and there is plenty of room to spread out & relax. The back yard was a big attraction to our youngest grandkids and the beach was a big hit with all of us. There is plenty of seating for meals and lot of "extras" in the kitchen, spices and condiments. I highly recommend this house! And thank you to Joel.

Wonderful spring visit

We rented this with my sister and her family for a short weekend visit. The house was very comfortable for our group of 7. We appreciated the thoughtful decor as well as the touches like the Ninja coffee bar and the good linens and towels. The location is great with just a short walk to the beach or restaurants. We hope to return!

Weekend getaway

My husband, grandkids and I Stayed here for our annual Columbus day getaway. The house was in great shape with plenty of room for the 4 of us. The kitchen is small, but very well stocked with everything we needed. Our only complaint was the lack of television channels. Im glad netflix was available tho. We enjoyed going to the pier and fishing. Kids got their first fish!
