Ideal location!

Really cute home! Could use a blow dryer, I never travel with one because every vacation rental has at least one. Also, maybe better quality bath towels & bedding. Loved the use of the golf cart!!Thank you, Colonial Beach is wonderful!Loved

Cozy Cottage

We really enjoyed our stay at Blue Heron Cottage. Our dog Rosie especially liked the fenced yard and screened in porch, where she basked in the sun. The location was central and convenient for my husband and I to enjoy local oysters, a winery tour, and a hike in Caladon State Park. We had never been to Colonial Beach before, but we will be back!

Small but nice

The cottage was small but perfict for 2 people and had good view from the side porch of Monroe Bay. It was clean and had what was needed in the kitchen. The owner was responsive to the tv problem and very friendly. We had a great time in a relaxing, quite location.
