Waterfront Oasis with Sunset & Sunrise with Dock

EarlRating, 5 stars6 months ago

Samantha was wonderful and the house and location is really perfect. its setting is so nice and quiet, and the house is set up perfect for a family with a great game room upstairs and tons of games. We spent thanksgiving there with our family and the house had everything you could need for cooking for sure. It was perfect. We look forward to coming back in the summer to enjoy the outdoors more. Waking up every day and going out on the dock to feed the three swans was really cool. We'll be back.

The River House: A private waterfront oasis…

PeterRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

This was our family's second stay at The River House. We had another relaxing and fun week! Kayaking across to the state park is one of our favorite things to do there. We also enjoy shopping and eating in Leonardtown. We had one rainy day, but reading on the day bed with a beautiful view (in spite of the weather) and working on a puzzle were an enjoyable way to spend the day. We hiked out to Calvert Cliffs State Park one day and enjoyed lunch on Solomons Island on the way back. John's pet friendly Airbnb is such an awesome place to vacation with our dogs. One of them loves to fetch her floating stick off the little beach area and play frisbee in the yard (bring a long leash that you can tie to the badminton net poles). Our other dog loves basking in the sun in the yard and on the deck. There are so many great things about this place, but the sunsets alone are worth the stay!

A well-appointed kitchen features rich wooden cabinetry and a spacious island with three bar stools. Warm lighting is provided by pendant lamps, while a sleek refrigerator stands adjacent. The floor displays a modern herringbone pattern, enhancing the room's inviting atmosphere.

Denise is the perfect host. She was very responsive to my questions before and during the stay. I really appreciated that she provided all the linens and towels for showers. There were more than enough towels for all of us to take showers with. The home is beautiful and a relaxing spot. It doesn’t get much more peaceful than this location.

Refreshing Colonial Beach Vacation Rental!

JoelRating, 5 stars1 week ago

Had a great stay for 2 nights! The backyard is very private and the house is much bigger than it looked in the pictures. Comfortably would fit a family of 4 or more, we’re planning on bringing the kids next time. The beach area is private and has plenty of room to relax and spread out. It’s a 10 min ride to town where you can get anything you need. Planning on coming back this summer if we can!

Kiki Cottage Great location

JenniferRating, 5 stars7 months ago

Nice place to stay. It was within a short walking distance to restaurants and beach. We were able to check in early and Kiki checked on us during our stay to make sure all was good. The golf cart was broken but we were told before we booked. Colonial Beach is golf cart friendly so having one would be a plus getting around town. Overall, I would recommend to others.
