Cozy and Beautiful Home
Home is beautifully decorated and has everything needed for your stay. Enjoy sitting on the front porch and watching the gorgeous sunsets over Monroe Bay. Definitely recommend renting a golf cart to explore the community. A great place to relax. Our hosts, William and Sharon, are very friendly and accommodating to make sure everything is going well. Highly recommend! Plan to go back next year.

Lovely Front Porch
My family and I had a great time during our stay here. William was quick to respond to any questions we had, and the house was clean and comfortable. The complimentary coffee and snacks were nice and we absolutely loved sitting on the front porch where we could enjoy the view of the water. Would definitely stay here again!

Relax at Colonial Beach
Beautiful home with amazing views of Monroe Bay. Enjoyed lovely sunsets almost every day. We rented a golf cart to go back and forth to the beach and into town. The house was spotlessly clean and owner lives on site if you have any problems.

Post Summer Get-away
We all had a wonderful time at this property in Colonial Beach. At first, we wanted to get away from everything, but we realized a lot of beach destinations were a hike from civilization. We decided on this house and location because of the beautiful view, the property and it's proximity to shops and restaurants, while still be quiet. This was it!! Great service when we had questions, welcoming home, and spacious for the 2 couples that stayed. Would definitely come back!
