We had a wonderful stay for a birthday weekend. The house was well located and adorably decorated. Being right on the water allowed for a peaceful morning coffee or evening beverage! It was a very warm weekend so returning to a wonderfully cold house was refreshing. Thanks for a great stay.

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.

Water views and sunsets

The house sits directly on the bay. The view out the sliding class doors is absolutely beautiful! Scott & Dan are great hosts - easy to communicate with and super friendly, unlike the lady across the street, who is not nice at all!

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.

Amazing Property

This beautiful cottage is super clean, well equipped, with calming and stylish decor, and superior views. Our group of 3 adults also appreciated the nice linens, comfy mattresses, luggage racks, gas grill, the cool temperature of the home upon our arrival and the timely correspondence with the host.

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.

This property exceeded any expectation I had. The view really is picture perfect. The deck is amazing and we spent a lot of time out there. The inside is equally impressive - beautiful decor, big kitchen with all you need, huge TV! We can’t wait to go back.

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!

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!

Beautiful view

The view is beautiful and prefect to just sit outside and unwind. We had a nice dinner on the deck and were able to get some fishing in. My son caught his firsr fish ever. The beach is walkable and I liked how calm the water was. Dan was always quick to reply with any assistance we needed. We plan on making this house a yearly getaway.

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.
