Colonial Beach is a quaint, quiet and friendly town. This cottage is super sweet and fits the area. The golf cart and location of the home were perfect to see sunrises and sunsets every day.

Easy property in a beautiful spot
Stayed here with our friends for the weekend. They had a dog and small child so the fenced in property was perfect! Enjoyed the screened in porch at night. We added on a golf cart and had a blast discovering the area. Loved seeing all the different homes around us and ate/drank a few times at Dockside which was a really fun, vacation vibe. Will definitely come back to the area.

Superb Renovation
Very accommodating. Enjoyed the screened porch and fenced yard for our dog. Minor suggestions - paring knife, drain stand for dishes, and two-ply toilet paper.

Convenient and newly renovated
The cottage was just as we expected! A nice place to unwind and enjoy the area with family. Safe and quiet neighborhood. Having the golf cart added to our rental was well worth having! Fun to drive around (and keep the sand out of our car). Our favorite restaurant was High Tides on the boardwalk. We look forward to returning in the future.

Wonderful weekend at Blue Heron Cottage
This property was a great fit for our small family and large dog, who loved lounging on the porch. The renovations are thoughtful, everything was comfortable, the neighborhood was quiet, and communicating with our hosts was fantastic. We'll be back!

Perfect quick trip!
Our family thoroughly enjoyed our trip! The house is in a great and convenient location, easily accessible to all the food places and beaches. We were able to rent a golf cart for our stay from the owners we used to get everywhere. The screened porch was perfect for enjoying coffee and breakfast in the AM and a glass of wine from one of the local wineries in the PM. We were even allowed to bring our dog and with a gated yard, she could run around as she pleased. Any questions we had were quickly responded to, would recommend to others!
