About the host
Hosted by Heather or Ed Donahue
Our family started coming to Colonial Beach 14 years ago. What started out as a vacation rental and weekend retreat led us here full-time. We hope you enjoy our small town as much as we do.
Why they chose this property
The charm of this cottage made it the perfect choice. You are conveniently located on The Point in Colonial Beach. The town is golf cart friendly and all restaurants in town can be accessed by golf cart. You can also access the Food Lion by cart.
What makes this property unique
The town offers free Trolley rides on the weekends from Memorial Day to Labor Day. The Trolley aka The Osprey makes numerous stops throughout the town at restaurants and marinas. Don't miss the amazing sunsets you will find here.
