Second time around

Our second trip here. Absolutely love this place. perfect for a couple and a pup. Close to the beach, restaurants, tiki bars. Best of all, the front porch and the pier. Our hosts were great. Thanks Dan and Scott. Already planning a third trip.

Excellent views!

The Sunnyside Up cottage was great. We thoroughly enjoyed our few days there. You can’t beat the location and the river views are incredible. We also enjoyed watching the Osprey build their nest nearby. We would definitely stay here again when visiting Colonial Beach. Thanks Dan for hosting us!

Cozy cottage

Sunny side up was a wonderful place to stay on our visit to colonial beach. It was very clean and a great private dock made morning coffee and sunrises perfect. The bikes were a wonderful feature. Owner was quick to respond. We have a rental ourselves in another state so we are somewhat picky when it comes to places we stay and this is a wonderful rental. Thanks Dan!

Fantastic for One and a furry Friend, too

As soon as you pull up to the multi-car gravel parking spot, you see the care and thought that Dan and Scott have showered on this wonderful cottage. Not only is it well-appointed with anything and everything you might need or want, there are a few delightful surprises, too! Not to mention the design-conscience and delightful furniture layout and decor. Beauty every where you look; Adorned with colonial beach style -which is hard to pull off imo- down to the smallest detail. Folks, the photos don't even come close to doing this desirably-located, fairly priced waterfront cottage justice. What you don't see is a 4-6 person iron dining set with center umbrella surrounded by tasteful rustic beach decor on a well placed, privacy fence All perfect for drinking or dining alfresco. Plus, a seating slab for 4 in the yard with fire pit in center. For more fun, the bikes are brand new and the large pier is all yours with 2 bolted Adirondacks and easy steps to get in and enjoy the river! This place is such a gem, no wonder it's always booked. My dog had a blast running around the fantastic yard, enjoying all the nature. The lights framing the house and the fence, along with 2 led palm trees, warmly welcome you home after visiting the point to enjoy the gorgeous sunset. I could say more, but I think you get the idea.
