Well-appointed home, cheerful and centrally located. Perfect home full of joy and peace while recovering from recent breast-cancer surgery.

Heart emoji (since we can't do emojis here). Pink ribbon emoji too. Didn't know that the house was part of your recovery, but it makes me super happy to hear it and to have hosted you. Wishing you continued health and you're welcome back any time! Thanks for helpful communication during your week too.

This was our first time in Colonial Beach, but the host gave us so much insider information we felt like locals! The house was centrally located and we walked everywhere the whole time we were there. We LOVED the proximity to the beach and the Ice House Brewery & Kitchen. The house was beautiful, very clean, and well stocked with linens, toiletries, & anything you would need to cook. We also loved the front porch, and had our coffee out there every morning. Matthew was very easily accessible and communicated well before, during, and after our stay. Check in was smooth and check out instructions were clear. We would definitely stay here again if we were in the area!

Our family had a wonderful time here!! The house was super clean and comfortable. Matt was great at communicating and making sure we had all the info we needed to make our stay stress free. We rented the charter boat through him and I HiGHLY recommend this. We have 2 girls (4 & 7) and it was so much fun for all of us (Shark Tooth Island and the lighthouse) tours with Captain Dave was the highlight of our trip. Also recommend renting a golf cart to explore the town. It was quiet and relaxing and just what we needed. The town is very chill and clean.

Fantastic beachy home! We were very comfortable during our stay in this clean, quirky cottage. Loved the cool artwork and interesting decor, the kitchen had all the tools we needed to cook, beds were comfy, plenty of towels etc! The walk to the beach is short, and the home had a lot of beach supplies for use, like chairs, toys, etc. The back yard is great, plenty of space to play and relax. Would def stay again if we come back to CB!

Amazing experience! Host was very responsive and the the property was perfect. Porch and deck were very inviting. Bed was very comfy and house had everything we needed for a long weekend.Location made it very easy to walk to a local waterfront restaurant several times for breakfast and in the evening. The town itself was also very walkable with plenty of options. We rarely used the car. Would definitely stay here again!
