About this property

Boaty McBeach House: A Short Walk to Beach, Waterfront Sunsets & Restaurants!

  • We’ve added a private, captained boat tour option, discounted for guests only! Be in touch after booking for more information!

    Kick back & relax at Boaty McBeach House—a cozy cottage ideally situated on The Point. 3 blocks to the beach & 1 block to sunsets on the bay + fun waterfront eateries.

    Just over an hour from DC or Richmond, a huge transformation awaits in quiet, quirky and fun(ky) Colonial Beach.

    You get the whole home, a large yard & a fab locale in our walkable, bikeable, *boatable*, golf-cartable, quirky little town. (Yes, you can arrive by boat, or rent our captained 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.

    Book safe: We are licensed by the City of CB as a legal short term rental home and registered small business. The ones that aren’t may be shut down at any moment.

Amazing experience! Host was very responsive and the the property was perfect. Porch and deck were very inviting. Bed was very comfy and house had everything we needed for a long weekend.Location made it very easy to walk to a local waterfront restaurant several times for breakfast and in the evening. The town itself was also very walkable with plenty of options. We rarely used the car. Would definitely stay here again!

Fantastic beachy home! We were very comfortable during our stay in this clean, quirky cottage. Loved the cool artwork and interesting decor, the kitchen had all the tools we needed to cook, beds were comfy, plenty of towels etc! The walk to the beach is short, and the home had a lot of beach supplies for use, like chairs, toys, etc. The back yard is great, plenty of space to play and relax. Would def stay again if we come back to CB!
