☆☆ BEDROOMS + BATHROOMS ☆☆
Each of the home’s bedrooms is designed with guest comfort in mind. Fall asleep in comfortable beds and wake up refreshed for another exciting (or relaxing!) day at the beach.
There are three stylish bedrooms. Get away from the world in a spacious primary ensuite. The other two bedrooms share a second full bathroom.
☆☆ KITCHEN & DINING ☆☆
The kitchen and dining area offer plenty of room to comfortably host family dinners and are outfitted with all the cookware, dishes, utensils, and appliances you will need to cook delicious meals. The dining table can seat up to eight.
☆☆ LIVING SPACES ☆☆
The main level has a living room with two large, comfortable couches and seating for eight.
☆☆ OUTSIDE SPACE ☆☆
While there are plenty of outdoor activities nearby, the house also provides its own outdoor sanctuary for guests to enjoy. We invite you to relax in the backyard or on the deck. There are plenty of seating areas for guests to sip morning coffee or enjoy a happy hour drink as the sun goes down. There are string lights to provide ambient lighting.
☆☆ THE NEIGHBORHOOD ☆☆
Our home sits in one of Colonial Beach's historically significant residential neighborhoods — an area shaped by generations of families and a deep sense of community. The brick home across the street once served as a public school for African American children during segregation, reflecting an important chapter in the town's educational and cultural history. Nearby, First Baptist Church has long been a spiritual and civic cornerstone of the neighborhood.
This is a real, lived-in neighborhood — not a gated resort or a quiet cul-de-sac. Year-round, you'll see and hear everyday life happening around you: neighbors out on porches and driveways, friends stopping by, kids playing, occasional gatherings on the street. Street parking is shared and sidewalks see regular foot traffic — all part of being on a walkable, close-knit block. That energy is exactly what makes this community feel authentic, and we want every guest to know and embrace it before booking.
Guests who appreciate walkability, history, and an authentic sense of place will find this location offers a unique perspective on Colonial Beach beyond the immediate waterfront strip.
This property has a Ring camera on the exterior facing the front yard - it does not look into interior spaces.

This house is great and has everything we needed. It was very clean and within walking distance of the beach and restaurants. Loved it and would book again!
We had a wonderful stay at this home. It is very well kept and taken care of. Beautiful property and the owners are very responsive. Thank you for a wonderful visit!!! We look forward to staying again!!!
We stayed for 2 nights in the fall for a family event at Stratford Harbor. The house was pristine and cozy. Loved the fenced backyard for the pets and the walk ability of the town. The host and back up host were VERY responsive.
We had a great weekend here. Everything was thoughtful and clean. Walkable to restaurants and the beach. Our hosts were responsive, friendly, and clear. Really enjoyed our stay and would definitely book again.
Super, super cute mid-century mod renovated cozy house, walking distance to many things in Colonial Beach. Located just off the main road, this is a great stay. Very comfortable, so beautifully decorated, and great outdoor space. The neighborhood is a little strange because it's a mix of a lot of older homes, located behind a 7-11, BUT it is just a humble area and we felt safe. We were glad to be close to a good coffee shop (Love Bites) and a few restaurants. Easy short walk or drive to the beach one way or to the grocery store, Walgreen's, and some restaurants the other way. Great, responsive hosts, great water pressure and comfy bed! Highly recommend! :)
This little gem in Colonial Beach Virginia is amazing. I wish I could keep it all to myself and not tell anybody so I could always have it . It’s near everything it’s a few steps away from Lenny’s. The famous restaurant for homestyle southern cooking food in the heart of colonial Beach. You have the 7-Eleven within walking steps of the front door. You have both golf cart companies within five blocks away. You’re very close to the beach within walking distance. Neighbors are great and very informative. The high fence in the backyard gives you full privacy so you don’t even know anything is around you it’s like you have your own little world. The house decor is super cute and they really thought everything out. They have cribs, high chair, games, towels, chairs, fire pit with plenty of seating they even give you teas and coffees, filters with a drip machine, They have every spice in their cabinets for you if you decide to cook it’s only eight minutes 11 minutes to the Dockside the local entertainment . they have a full-size washer and dryer. The communication with the host are so amazing. They check on you, and quick to . We really never had anything to ask them. They just checked on us. they send you a list of everything that you need to know about colonial Beach. I gave this place a five star. Great communication great location awesome decor. It really feels like home there. We will definitely be coming back to this location again when we visit our favorite colonial beach.
