Just over an hour from DC or Richmond, a huge transformation awaits: relax at this peaceful cottage, ideally situated on “The Point,” just a couple blocks from the beach or the bay, in quiet and quirky Colonial Beach. You get the whole home, a large yard & a central location in our walkable, bikeable, golf-cartable, quiet & quirky town. (Note: You can arrive by boat too!) The home flows naturally and feels airy and spacious for its size. Both the king bedroom and queen bedroom are super comfy and cozy. The living room includes a pull out queen sofa if you want to squeeze in 2 more. Beyond the bedrooms, the house includes one full bathroom, a large dining table in an open-plan, brightly lit kitchen/dining area. The front porch is shaded after the early morning, and the back porch is open and sunny. The large back yard is fenced in and includes grass and patio space with a gas grill. The home includes lots of free off-street parking, and is an easy walk to the bay, the beach, and to restaurants on the water or downtown. Rent golf carts or use the bikes to explore a little further, or hop in your car and hit historic sites or beautiful vineyards. Arrive by boat and walk 1.5 blocks from the dock to the house, and then spend a few days exploring the lower Potomac River, Shark's Tooth Island, or venture out into the Chesapeake Bay. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach nearby - Beach loungers - Beach towels ### Internet - Available in the cottage: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee grinder - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Ice maker - Kitchen island - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room - Separate dining area ### Entertainment - Books - Games - Music library - Smart TV - Stereo ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - 3 steps to reach entrance - Area rugs in public areas - Hardwood flooring in public areas - No elevator - Single level property - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Meal delivery service ### Location highlights - In the city center - Near the bay - Near the marina - On a river ### Things to do - Bicycles - Tennis - Basketball nearby - Birdwatching nearby - Cycling nearby - Fishing nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Sailing nearby - Swimming nearby - Winery tours nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - At least 80% lighting from LEDs - Bicycles - Cleaning products are eco-friendly - Garden - Unit size: 800 square feet ## Similar properties ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/80000000/79940000/79939300/79939223/c3ca88a1.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Waterfront with spectacular view, close to restaurants and bars Colonial Beach - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Free WiFi 9.8 Exceptional 53 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-19&endDate=2025-10-20&selected=79939223&PinnedHotelID=79939223&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/115000000/114980000/114971900/114971867/57f6900e.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### 3-bedroom house in charming Colonial Beach with AC, WiFi Colonial Beach - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 10 Exceptional 6 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-19&endDate=2025-10-20&selected=114971867&PinnedHotelID=114971867&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/67000000/66960000/66952300/66952246/60b0f9ec.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Cottage on The Point!
