Beautiful beachy cottage in Colonial Beach

We had a fabulous time on our trip. The house was spotlessly clean, beautifully decorated, and had everything we could possibly need. Communication was great & check-in and out was easy. You can walk to beautiful river views from the house and it’s just a short 4 minute drive from the town & the beach. We rented a golf cart & it is easy to get into town by golf cart using back roads. We will definitely be back.
