About this cottage rental
The Beachcomber II enjoys a great in-town location....steps to the beach, restaurants, entertainment, and shops. We, a non-smoking, family and pet friendly with a fenced yard and a fun playground just through the gate in the backyard.
The Beachcomber II features hardwood floors and soft relaxing colors throughout. You will pass under the dogwood trees through the front door and enter into the sunroom, into a large livingroom with cable television, pick your bedroom and get ready for family meals in the eat-in kitchen. Your choice of bedrooms is a sunny twin room with built-in-bookcases, a master bedroom, with queen bed and private bath or a queen size bedroom across from the second bathroom with tub/shower. A bonus kids loft is upstairs with two twin beds, and window seat; we recommend it for kids.
While enjoying your stay with us, we have provided an outdoor dining space under the trees with a gas grill. WIFI is provided.
Beachcomber II is a charming cottage, great for families, couples or girl's getaway. We began welcoming guests to our first cottage, Beachcomber I on Hawthorn in 2011 and we so enjoyed giving guests a great place to relax and get-away. Since 2011, we have added 3 additional Beachcomber Cottages and a Guest House.
A great way to enjoy Colonial Beach. There are 3 great golf cart rental options, let us know if you would like information. People also love to explore the area by bike, unfortunately we stopped providing bikes a couple of years ago due to liability. If you need recommendations on bikes in the area, let us know, we are happy to help.
The beauty of the Beachcomber is it is perfect for families and couples. The cottage features one floor living, unless you are a kid and want to escape to the kid's loft. We have a large fenced yard with a gate that opens to the town playground. We welcome well-behaved dogs; there are size, breed, and age restrictions: pet fee applies.
The enjoyment of the Beachcomber II isn't limited to the house. Along with the fenced yard; we feature a gas grill and outside dining under the trees, right outside the kitchen door. great for grilling out and crab picking! And just steps from the house are restaurants, shops, the beach, and fishing pier...be sure to get a soft serve ice cream at Nancy's, which you can see through the trees!
Colonial Beach, Virginia; 60 miles from DC,but a world away... Colonial Beach, Virginia...the Gateway to the Northern Neck of Virginia.... a beach front haven, less than 2 hours from DC, along the Potomac River. Many say, it is place that time has forgotten with it's slow pace, friendly people who wave as they drive past you on their golf carts, wide beaches where the Potomac River is 4 to 6 miles wide, within minutes to historical attractions; George Washington's Birthplace; the Lee Family Home, Stratford Plantation, explore Westmoreland State Park, and find Shark's teeth and more, great boating, fishing,crabbing, and discover the Chesapeake Bay Wine Trail, Craft Beers, several great waterfront restaurants, waterfront live bands on weekends during the summer, and great crabs.
Spring and early summer is a beautiful time at the Beach, to enjoy a much quieter waterfront and explore the region's history and wineries!
Thanks for looking and be prepared to fall in love with Colonial Beach and the Northern Neck!

It was a very comfortable cottage for our family. The beach was 1 block away, grocery store 5 minutes away. Fenced in back yard . We ate out 2 nights and the rest of the meals were very comfortable eating in the kitchen. Very easy getting ahold of the landlord if we had questions. Very nice labor day weekend. Would love to stay again

Great Location! Very nice playground and free mini golf at the park behind the house. We often went twice per day. Walking distance to beach, boardwalk, restaurants, brewery, coffee shop. Easy to walk home from the beach for lunch. Cute house - we used all 4 bedrooms. The fenced yard is a definite plus for dogs.

Great Location & Great House!
My family of four had the BEST time at this house. The house is big enough for us and a couple of friends to stay in comfortably. The location is perfect for a family, with the playground right behind the house. Also, it is right in the downtown area with short walks (<5 minutes) to restaurants; the boardwalk/beach; and the local park with basketball and tennis courts. We will definitely be looking to stay here in the future!!! Great house!

Perfect Location and Adorable Home
This property could not be better located as it is near all the best parts of Colonial Beach. It is even walking distance to the beach itself; though, we did use our gold cart because we bring so much stuff! We walked to get ice cream, and dinner and the kids LOVED backing up to the playground. The home itself is adorable and exactly as described. It had every thing our family (and dog) needed for a fun long weekend. We definitely recommend and would return for another visit.

Pleasant stay in great location
We stayed for a long weekend, meeting my son his friend and his puppy. There were six of us total. There was plenty of room to be comfortable. The house is in a great location just a short walk to the beach and around the corner from ice cream! House was old but clean with plenty of honey touches. Would stay here again.

Great location, wonderful vacation!
We had a wonderful visit! The house is clean, well equipped, and very comfortable! We could walk to everything. We had everything we needed in the kitchen, and the grill was handy, too. A short walk to the beach, and an even shorter walk to the ice cream shops!

Good and bad with this place
Overall my family had a wonderful trip, and the house worked out well for us. The location was great, and they allowed a toddler and a dog to stay on the property. The backyard and playground next door worked out very well. The showers worked well and the house was cozy. However, there were a few downsides, the beds were very uncomfortable and the house is falling apart a bit. The house seemed to have a bit of a slope, the top hinge on one door was separated from the frame, one toilet seemed loose, you could see where paint was buckling on the walls, the handle on the kitchen sink kept coming off, etc. We did contact the owners about the door and they were VERY responsive and got it fixed, they also did a nice job stocking the house with things we'd need (dog water bowl i'd forgotten, baking sheet/dishes/kitchen essentials, etc.). So again, some good things and some bad things with this place.

2 Night Spring Break getaway (Mom, 2 kids and dog)
It was a nice little get-away close to home. The weather ended up being great for what we expected and the house was just a walk to the beach. the beach is very nice and was quiet - good time to relax while the kids played in water and sand.

Like the changes...keeps getting better!
We have been staying with Cathy and George for many years and love the location and charm of this house. This year, when we arrived we noticed a new livingroom set, upgrades to the kitchen, and new windows. Thanks for keeping our get-away up-to-date.

Really good location!
The house is in a great location, can walk to the beach, restaurants, etc. Also, very comfortable and the perfect size and layout for our family of seven! The playground right behind the house was great for the kids! Cathy was great and we hope to stay here again!

Love the improvements!
We have stayed at the Beachcomber II for several years. We love the location and relaxing in the front yard. We actually don't spend much time in the house, except this year...it rained alot.
We loved the new furniture in the livingroom and the new windows throughout, nice touches!
We love Colonial Beach and have been staying with Cathy at the Beachcomber Cottages since they opened Beachcomber I, 8 years ago. We actually took a peak at the new one, Beachcomber IV on the River, WOW. That said, Beachcomber II is still our favorite due to the great in-town location and the convenience to the beach.

Great Location for a Quick Trip.
My family rented the home for a 4 day quick trip to settle my uncle in to the local nursing home. I decided on a whim to try and get some R&R since we all were using unplanned vacation time. It was hard to find much out order with the home. My mother of course can always find something to crumbling about: cob webs in the corners of the rooms and the weeds that needed cutting back along the driveway and back gate. So, that's the reason i couldn't give the house 5 stars. Mom's say it just the small details that make all of the difference. I hadn't the time to notice. We all agreed we'd rent it again if even the chance.

Started off bad & got worse...
When we arrived after spending 8 hours in the car, we had still not received the door code. I called and texted, and received a text back that the owner was busy, and couldn’t talk at that time...while we sat there in the car. I sent a message thru homeaway, and a text stating that if we didn’t hear from the owner in the next 30 minutes that we would be making other arrangements. The owner called to give us the code which didn’t open the door, then she drove over to try another code which finally got us inside...and stated that her husband hadn’t changed the code as she’d asked him to. If you’re looking for a place to stay where you can prepare meals...this is not the place for you. The dishes and glassware were not clean, and the “non-stick” cookware was in unbelievably bad condition. Much of the non-stick surface on the pots had been almost entirely scraped off while the remainder flaked off into our food. When I pulled the sheets and pillow cases off the bed prior to our departure, I was nauseated by the sight of the pillows which were covered with yellow stains. The price must be based on a sleeping capacity of 7. For a couple, we just paid an excessive price for a bad experience.

Great location right next to the beach, the children loved it.
Plenty of room for all of us and fully equipped. Beds were very comfy and the whole cottage was clean with plenty of linen, towels etc. Everything worked well. Had the pleasure of meeting Cathy who was most charming and gave us great insight into living at Colonial Beach as we have been considering this area for retirement. Two small quibbles, no where to put things in the en suite bathroom, needs a shelf or unit and the garden furniture all needed cleaning. Overall a wonderful stay and would certainly stay at one of Cathy's Beachcomber Cottages again.

Nice Weekend Retreat
The house was quiet and within walking distance to everything. A block or two from the beach. Cathy stopped by to introduce herself and was very hospitable. We rented a golf cart and zipped around the whole area. Everyone was very friendly. We would stay here again.

Great location, first visit to Colonial Beach, a little rain to deal with but still good.
House was clean, well appointed, and convenient. We were on just a two night stay, so it had everything we needed. If we were staying for a week, it would be nice if there were a TV in the bedroom and an outdoor seating area raised off the ground. The rain preceding our visit and intermittent during our stay, rendered the yard unuseable. Minor inconvenience , just a suggestion for a future upgrade.
