Quick birthday getaway at the beach

Pretty sunny yellow chalet, nice neighborhood near downtown Colonial Beach. Far enough for enjoyable quiet, near enough to walk to the beach (10 minutes walk to the main beach, 4 minute drive -- we drove). Everything was conveniently there, including beach towels, umbrellas and chairs. Soaked in the spa tub, and enjoyed dinner on the outdoor patio, after a long day at the beach. Tall dining table with chairs was nice but not so easy for our 3 year old. We bought a small table and chair at nearby Walmart for the little guy. Awesome hostess, Denise, was always reaching out to make sure we had everything. We loved it. Totally recommend this sunny chalet.... felt like home. On our way out, 3 year old said he'd be happy to stay there again. We agreed. Thank you!

TV troubles

The ONLY complaint we had was the tv service. In the description of property it indicated cable/ satellite tv…it did not mention that it was all streaming services. My hubby & I (over 70) are not familiar with streaming. One of the reasons we chose the property, was the cable/satellite service. The host was very responsive, but, we just couldn’t find what we wanted to watch. Finally had to call our daughter & use her account to access the football game. The house was very nice, very well stocked, clean, etc. and the location was awesome.

Perfect Beach Getaway

My sister and I had a lovely stay at this property! The fenced in yard was perfect as I brought my dog and the neighborhood was great for long walks with the pup! It’s about a 15 minute walk to the main beach but only a 5 minute drive which was exactly what we were looking for.

We stayed here with our two poochies and really enjoyed our stay. The house is very comfortable, clean and updated. The side yard was great for the dogs. We took nice walks to the river just a few blocks away. Delightful. Hope to be back

Great stay in Colonial Beach

The home was nice and really suited us! We really appreciated the little extras!! It was great to have extra time on check out morning (check out by noon) to ride around once more and to do some shopping. Friendly town. Ditto what the other reviews said.

CB getaway

The house was spotless and comfortable for our family of 4 adults and a 4 yr old - plus our two very retired racing greyhounds. Found a good spot for the dog beds and they were good to go! Kitchen was well equipped and easy to work in. Nice appliances. Quiet neighborhood but close to everything. Dogs enjoyed their walks. We had a couple days of rain but overall a great week in Colonial Beach.

Great Return

This was our second time staying here, first time was September last year, but this time we wanted to do a true summer trip in July. Denise is a fantastic host who answers messages promptly. The house has everything you need and more! We forgot our beach chairs and were happy to see two lightweight ones in the hall closet. Close proximity to the main part of town (we brought scooters and got to the beach in probably 5-7 minutes.) The high fenced in yard was great for our dog and makes the house feel very secluded. We hope to come back again in the future!

Peace and relaxation

My week at the cottage was everything I needed it to be. The home was very clean and exactly as shown. The area is quiet and peaceful. The views of the water right around the corner are amazing and the proximity to the beach is great. I was able to take walks along the river multiple times a day and go down to the beach daily to watch the sun rise. The views of the water never get old and really calm the soul. I would definitely stay again if in the area. Thanks for an awesome week!

Beautiful home in a quiet neighborhood that's just minutes from the beach!

My wife and I were looking for a change of pace where we could both work remotely for a few days away from work but that was also dog friendly, close to the beach but not a hotel. This Colonial Beach property was perfect for us and our 2 older dogs. Corner property, all on 1 level, beautifully furnished, king bed, flat screen with cable and wifi and we brought our bikes and put them in the side yard that's fenced and locked. Bathrooms and kitchen were super clean and we stayed 5 nights and really enjoyed ourselves. Definitely check out the local food places: Ledo Pizza, The Huesteca Mexican Restaurant, and the Dockside Restaurant and tiki bar. Highly recommend and will be back.
