Beachfront holiday rentals in Colonial Beach

We loved our stay! Len and Shannon are incredible hosts! Every sunset from the deck was perfect! Having the convenience store below was also nice for grabbing a snack. We wish we could have stayed longer! I would highly recommend the stay! A++++++++++++++

We had an amazing stay at Ryan’s place for our Father’s Day weekend fishing trip! Ryuan was a fantastic host—very accommodating, responsive, and made sure we had everything we needed. The home was just what we hoped for and helped us create some wonderful memories. Thank you for making our trip extra special, Ryan! Would absolutely stay again.

Great for a group/family weekend getaway. Erin and Aryn are very hospitable hosts and provided all the essentials. Everything in the kitchen and all the light switches are clearly labeled, making it easy to navigate.

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!

This is my second time staying at this cottage. The location is beautiful, the private beach is great for kids, and all the welcome gifts and fresh flowers are a friendly touch. The kitchen has everything you need for cooking, and the two bedrooms made for a comfortable stay for my family of four. We enjoyed the Fisherman’s Museum in Reedsville and the local coffee, Fawn’s. Northern Neck is a lovely area and everyone we ran into the whole weekend was incredibly friendly.

We had a great time at Nicholas and Dana's place! It was both fun and relaxing. We really enjoyed the little beach, the dock and the kayaks. We caught some catfish and one tiny crab in the crab trap (and threw everything back in). It was nice to have the firepit and hot tub to use too. And, the kids really liked being downstairs in their own space. The only issues were that the key pad wasn't working to get in to the front door which was frustrating after a long drive and the grill was very slow to heat up and probably needs to be replaced. Overall, this home was a really good choice for us and we would stay again when visiting family in the area.

We had a great stay, it was exactly the relaxing family vacation we were looking for! Hyrum and Lisa were excellent hosts and made sure we had all the information we needed and everything was going well throughout the stay. Thank you Hyrum and Lisa!

Have now stayed here twice and love it so much we just booked our next visit. It's a lovely and comfortable home!

My daughter found this gem online to book for my 65th birthday and a family get-together on the Northern Neck. We stay in Airbnb homes quite frequently all over the world and this is the loveliest home we've had the good fortune to stay in. Christine is the most gracious host and this home is special because she has made it that way for her family. It's a huge difference to stay in a vacation home that the host rents and a home that the host lives in. Christine's eye for beauty is exquisite and the home is comfortable as well as beautiful. It seldom happens that you say, "I wish the house had (fill in the blank)" and this house has it. The river is a gorgeous backdrop and there are kayaks to use. The saltwater pool is a great addition and a reason to hang at the house. And there is everything one needs to knock out a meal or if you don't want to cook, plenty of places to eat in the area. All in all, this house is a 15 out of 10!!

My family and I had a terrific stay. The house was very accommodating, clean, and comfortable. Allison was a great help and responded quickly to every inquiry. The outdoor space is great - we used the fire pit every night and I brought my boat and kept it at the dock. We would definitely stay here again!

Absolutely beautiful stay! The cabin has the cutest theme and the proximity to the water was great and a gorgeous view. Abby and family was so kind, responsive, and great hosts. Would highly recommend this getaway!

Misun is aptly named as she is funshine sun shine and david was the strong silent good in the kitchen and able cabana boy! We had a great time at their place ad loved all the little cute touches, The house is gorgeous, bathrooms very clean, we had all we could want, Breakfasts were really interesting and delicious. House is well placed to be near all the cool things you want to do adn right next to the beach. The pool and patio area were super cool. I cant say enough about what a great little spot it was I loved that it was grownups only. We had a wonderful weekend and would love to come again.

The area and view are beautiful and the home's decor is welcoming. The home was very comfortable for our family group and had a VERY well-stocked kitchen. The master bed was VERY comfortable as were the rest of the beds. My husband and I slept well. We all felt at home. MJ was very responsive when I had questions and communicated about the property in clear, concise language. The host provided many outdoor recreation opportunities, which included paddleboards, kayaks, and life jackets. There was a nice sized pool but we were visiting out of season so we did not use it. The exercise room downstairs has a lot of equipment. We all enjoyed our time together. Our family is asking to come back again next year. Thanks for a great stay!

This home was amazing - Jack and Beth were wonderful - everything we needed was right there - game room was perfect for the kids - the house was tremendous and spotless and perfect and I can’t say enough great things about my experience. I would 110% recommend this home to anyone!! Book it!!!

The house is beautiful and very large. Three families with kids had plenty of room to spread out. The views are just as pictured and the finishes were all high end. As we knew from the listing, the pool was right on the deck with no fence, and this was stressful with our younger kids (as were the stairs). This wasn't a surprise but something to keep in mind if you're traveling with small kids. As another review pointed out the house feels out of place in the neighborhood. Melanie was very responsive and helpful and we had a great trip.

great location and very clean!

Loved it so much great view and everything!

This was our fourth time staying at this amazing place, and it never disappoints! The pictures really don’t do it justice the home is even more beautiful in person. The backyard is so peaceful and well kept, perfect for relaxing while the kids play. What really makes this place special is the stunning lake view, which you can enjoy right from the living room, kitchen, and bedrooms. It’s the perfect weekend getaway for our family cozy and incredibly relaxing. We always feel right at home here and can’t wait to come back again. Highly recommend!

We had a wonderful stay at Britta’s place! From the moment I booked, Britta was incredibly responsive—and quick to reply. The Elk Cotrage was the perfect retreat for us and we especially enjoyed the screened in outdoor deck. I would absolutely stay here again.

The Haven was truly a gem. It was so private and secluded- just what we needed to relax and reset. Ashley was so friendly and provided so many helpful accommodations that you’d typically not find elsewhere, such as complimentary coffee and a stocked s'mores station. Collectively, I think my family most enjoyed using the kayaks and paddle boards to explore the bay everyday. The kids absolutely loved hunting for wildlife around the house and pond. I’ll never forget this trip!

We had a fantastic stay at this charming cottage on a private beach! The peaceful setting and direct access to the water made for a truly relaxing getaway. We especially loved the Adirondack chairs and firepit overlooking the Chesapeake Bay—perfect for amazing views and cozy evenings. The master bedroom and living spaces offered beautiful water views that made every moment feel serene and special. The owner was incredibly accommodating with check-in and shared thoughtful, personal tips that made our stay even more enjoyable. Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking to unwind by the bay!

We had a wonderful long weekend here! The house is well-equipped and David was even able to secure fishing and crabbing gear so our two kids could try to catch dinner. It is a quiet street of cottages with friendly neighbors in a gorgeous location - the view is so calming. We enjoyed exploring the local area (love the coffee shop and brewery in Montross), kayaking, swimming, and relaxing on the big screened porch. A feature here that you don’t always have at the shore is a great sandy beach! Can’t wait to come back for another getaway.

This is a perfect spot for a girls weekend to just be. The surroundings are gorgeous and the home is fantastic. It is a quiet neighborhood for those who enjoy early morning walks. Every room of the home feels airy and comfortable. I would return for sure.

Kassandra was very responsive and communicated well. The house is beautiful with the best view. Very nice with small children as far as being able to go back and forth from the beach. My husband also enjoyed some fishing. Everything is well stocked, and what stood out most is the shed with sand toys, beach chairs, and more that are accessible so we didn’t need to pack our own. Also the amount of beach towels and regular bath towels available were great. We will definitely be staying here again.
