Perfect Place to Stay

We were very impressed with the location and cleanliness of the house. The information on the history of the town and great places to eat or activities in the area was helpful. We would rent from this owner again.

Perfect for a Girls Weekend!

Stay was Picture Perfect! Three working moms took a break to spend time together and this home was exactly right. We spent hours on the deck looking not just at the water but multiple visits from swans, blue herons and osprey! Host provided great information on places to go out, an the town itself is overrun by golf carts, NOT tourist traps. Would definitely consider staying there again!

Beautiful location!

My husband and i live up the road but we rented this house for his parents, for the weekend. The location is absolutely fantastic and the house is gorgeous. I could have sat on the back deck for hours. Dan was very responsive to all of my questions. I wouldn't hesitate to rent from him, again.

Second time, just as great

This was our second time staying at Picture Perfect and despite the cold weather our stay was comfy and perfect. Our host recommended a couple activities we would not have known about otherwise and we enjoyed them both. We plan to return as soon as possible! We love Colonial Beach and this location is absolutely perfect.

Reflections of a perfect weekend

This was our fourth trip to Colonial Beach and by far the best location we have stayed. Being on the deck enjoying the view of the bay was our favorite place to be. We loved the interior design of the house, but especially loved the outdoor areas. The location to all of our favorite spots (beach and dining) was perfect, being just a short walk or cart ride away. Neighborhood was quiet and the views spectacular. This will be our go to every time we visit!

Picture Perfect it is!!

This place was wonderful. My husband got the house to take our family on a mini vacation for my 60th birthday. It was everything it was promised to be. House was very clean and sitting on the deck felt like being on the water. The only downside was the neighbors across the street and to the right made sure to let us know that they did not like people and didn't want us there. Not just us but anyone. They went out of their way to make us uncomfortable, but we didn't let it ruin anything. The house and location are exactly what they advertise. Picture Perfect.

Great place and layout. Nicely equipped kitchen. Only suggestion is to have a little larger kitchen table (6) instead of 4. Easy peasy.

Great Getaway to Colonial Beach!

We had a great stay here - the home was clean, nicely decorated, the kitchen was very well stocked and great access to the river. The teens loved being able to step right outside and fish. Good fishing too! We had rainy weather yet that didn't stop us from having a great time. Dan is excellent and timely with his communications too. Hope to return here this summer!

Great place to stay with beautiful views.

We had a great stay, home was just as advertised. Very clean, kitchen was well stocked, nice outside area with great views. Neighborhood was very quiet and safe. We were visited every morning and evening by a mallard couple. One evening we were visited by a couple of swans. Being off-season, dining options were a few, most restaurants had limited seating and limited menus. Dockside was our favorite, Colonial Brewing, Icehouse Brewery were good. We recommend renting a golf cart to get around town. Our visit was March 12-16. Spent one day each at Calverts Cliff and Flag Ponds searching for sharks teeth. Only 30 months from Fredericksburg, nice relaxing visit. Highly recommend this house.
