About this house rental

Nestled in Colonial Beach, this attractive house for $385 per night is a fantastic choice for your next vacation. Welcome to beautiful Monroe Bay! Relax in the beautifully refurbished home, on the back deck, by the private pool, or by the water on the private dock. Bring your kayaks, boat or jet skis to explore the creek and local water way. Located in a private community 2 minutes from down town Colonial Beach and just 2 hours from Washington, D.C.; 1 hour from Richmond, VA, and about 30 minutes from Fredericksburg, VA. The quaint Town of Colonial Beach has restaurants, grocery stores, game rooms, breweries, a dog park, and public beaches. Just minutes away is access to wineries (Monroe Bay, Ingleside, Back Porch, General's Ridge), State Parks (Westmoreland and Caledon), and historical sites (Birth places of James Monroe and George Washington, as well as Stratford Hall which is home of the Lee Family). The house is equipped with High Speed Internet and two Smart TVs for your streaming needs. Golf Carts (not included in rental): Colonial Beach is a Golf Cart community. There are rentals available and there is access to the town from the property, should you want an alternate way to explore the town. Water Access: There is a small ramp for launching kayaks, jet skies, or small craft (e.g., john boats) on the property. For run-abouts and larger craft, there is a public ramp in the town of Colonial Beach (5 minute drive). The public ramp is free, but there is a fee to park. There is ample trailer parking at the property. Monroe Bay Creek is mostly brackish water, but once one transitions to the Potomac River, the water is salt and requires a Potomac River or VA salt water fishing license. The Dock: There are 2 slips for docking watercraft. The creek is tidal and the water depth varies; average water depth is about 4 feet. Bring your own lines, bumpers, etc. You are welcome to crab and fish from the dock, so pack your gear. Please clean up any bait so not to attract gulls. Typical fish species caught include Perch and Catfish; occasionally Spot and puppy drum (late summer/fall). The Pool: There is a private pool, gazebo and sun deck on the property. Four (4) pool towels are provided for your use. Horses: There are horses adjacent to the property. They are not part of the rental, so please do not touch or feed. However, they are very peaceful to watch from the front of the house.

We were so thrilled with our stay. Shannon was so kind and responsive and went out of her way to make sure our family had a lovely time. We also enjoyed the kindness and hospitality of the neighbors. The house was immaculate and the waterfront location can't be beat. We enjoyed crabbing from the pier and kayaking too. We plan to return!

This property was even more beautiful in person! I think the host thought of absolutely everything that we could have possibly needed. There was a tropical storm, and she went above and beyond making sure that everything was taken care of. We definitely will be back! It was an overall wonderful experience. Thank you.

I celebrated my 40th birthday with family and friends and everyone loved the home. I booked this because of the pool and because it was off the water. The house is much nicer and bigger in person. The inside looks like a model house. Beautifully decorated. It had everything single thing you could possibly need at a home. Enough dinning material, enough tables, chair wine opener, pots beach towels…. I mean everything!! Shannon left a cute little note and chocolates. The neighbors were nice and friendly. I would definitely recommend staying here. All of my friends and family would love to come back to this place. Thank you for a great stay!

This waterfront property is a hidden gem not too far from DC. Shannon has everything that you would need for the stay. Kids enjoyed the pool, games and books. Will definitely stay there again.

The photos do not do the house justice. Very quiet area but near town. The fishing was ok. There are jellyfish in the water. Very small. The pool was great. We ate at Wilkersons seafood. The service was horrible. The food was ok. Buffet is overpriced. The dockside grill and tiki bar was our favorite. Would highly recommend.

The house was great, and it included a number of games and other things to do when the weather isn't great. Because if the weather is nice you'll want to be by the pool or on the water.

The property was accurately presented by the listing. Access to a private pool and still be waterfront were two selling points for us. We anticipate booking this property again in the future. Thank you very much.
