Beachfront vacation rentals in Colonial Beach

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!

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!!!

This place is a GEM. Dave and Misuun were extremely inviting and accommodating upon arrival to this beautiful bed and breakfast. They made great recommendations and kept the place very neat and tidy. Our room was nicely sized with our own bathroom and a really comfortable bed. We woke to well prepared breakfast each morning and really good coffee. We swam in the heated pool, relaxed in the cabana and played cornhole during the day. This place is just a walk away from anywhere in town which was convenient. At night we played in the retro arcade which had an overwhelming amount of games which were all free play. We'll certainly be looking forward to visiting again next year

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!

We loved out time at this Bayside home. My boys spent outside upon hours at the little private beach, where the water doesn't really get deep for quite a ways and the waves were never very rough. it was perfect for them. we all enjoyed the hot tub, kayaks, comfortable beds. My personal favorite was the hammock right by the water, listening to nothing but the waves and the calls of the ospreys that made the area their home. Forget the overly built up touristy areas and give this place a try. You will not regret it.

Beautiful cottage, well appointed, clean and very homey. The screen porch (with hot tub!) was a great place to hang out. Sharon was very responsive and an excellent host!

Beautiful house and beautiful view. Outdoor jacuzzi with the view is not to be missed! Gorgeous and clean home. The private site made it an amazing getaway from busy life. Thank you, we will be back soon!!!

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 wonderful stay at the Little Ferry Inn! Absolutely gorgeous waterfront property, situated away from it all. David and Angela were outstanding hosts, extremely friendly and made us feel right at home. We are so thrilled to have found this hidden gem and will certainly be back!

Perfect get away for relaxing and unplugging. We look forward to coming back in the future.

Hays Beach House was the perfect home base for my group of 10 sailors. We were able to comfortably sleep, relax in the hot tub, and cook enough to feed a small army. The beds are comfy, the kitchen is well stocked, and the sunrises here are stunning. Tim is a friendly and helpful host and overall the experience was nothing but pleasant.

What an amazing home! Bob was a great host. All of the rooms were very clean and there’s everything you will need at hand. Super comfortable beds. The views of the river are incredible with so many places to relax from the living areas to the outdoor deck on the second floor. The screened in porch was so comfortable. Fishing from the dock was a joy and just a great place to hang out and enjoy the water with our family. My son caught his first fish off the dock! The kitchen is a cook’s dream. Again, theres everything you need to prepare meals. Loved the huge kitchen island! Don’t forget to just stand and enjoy the view of the dock and river from the kitchen window. The downstairs den and bar area was just perfect for relaxing and watching tv. The house is on a cul de sac with only a few homes…very peaceful. We loved this place and plan on coming back again for our next trip! Thank you Bob for sharing your little slice of heaven with us!

My mom, sisters, friends and I enjoyed a relaxing fun filled time at the Coastal Oasis at the Chesapeake for our Mother's Day Retreat. The view is amazing and truly can be seen from every room in the house! Being able to see the beauty and calmness of the water helped each of us kick back and let the stress melt away. The big dinning room table allowed all of us all to enjoy breakfasts, dinners and touching conversations together. My guests loved the décor and raved about every detail. The beds and furniture were comfortable and house clean. I would definitely come back!

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!

What a gem of a place! So cute and cozy. A great location! Loved all the natural light that came in through the big windows. Everything was so clean yet very comfortable. Enjoyed walking the beach. Found sharks teeth and sea glass! Such a great surprise to find such treasures! Lisa was so very kind and accommodating. Appreciated the extras like coffee, bottled water, shampoo etc and she brought some wood for a cozy fire. They really worked hard at making our stay very comfortable. Definitely will be coming back. But plan on a longer stay because there is so much more in the area to check out!

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

Our stay was great. The house is located in a quiet friendly neighborhood. The views are amazing. The house is very comfortable and so relaxing. Loved that three bedrooms each had a bathroom. The hosts were wonderful and very responsive.

If you're looking for some simple, quiet time at the shore, Tim's place is for you. The house is comfortable, spacious, and had everything we needed for a lovely family weekend. There's a convenient spot in the backyard to launch kayaks. Two decks and a dock provide several options to sit outside and enjoy the view - including beautiful sunsets! Our dogs love to swim and really enjoyed the water. The neighborhood is quiet making for pleasant and scenic walks. We hope to return for a second stay later this summer.
