Escape to a peaceful waterfront getaway on the Potomac River at Lil’ Paradise on the Potomac! Enjoy this unique river beach cottage with a private pier and beach in the lovely town of Colonial Beach, Virginia--only ~90 minutes from DC/Northern Virginia and 1 hour from Richmond!

A Few Ideas for Your Getaway:
- Enjoy a blissful sunrise overlooking the river from the comfort of your master bedroom and private balcony before heading down to the cozy sunroom, front deck or private pier to sip your morning coffee or tea.

- Listen to the sound of the lapping waves and maybe do some yoga on the pier to start your day.

- Go fishing off the pier and do some birdwatching. You'll see ospreys, eagles and other birds roam throughout this National Bird Sanctuary.

- Prepare a meal in your large, fully stocked eat-in gourmet kitchen with updated top-end appliances… Or, use the Weber Grill under the covered porch before playing some games in the gated backyard (cornhole boards and bags provided!).

- Rent a bike or golf cart or take a short walk to the sandy beaches of Colonial Beach and discover all this quaint, laid-back river beach town has to offer--including two tiki bars, live music, coffee shops, a brewery, farmers market, local seafood vendors, restaurants, and so much more.

- Telecommuting? Why not work from the waterfront? :)

We hope you'll kick back, relax and enjoy a Lil’ Paradise on the Potomac!
