Stayed 2 nights in May 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Taylor M. 26 May 2025 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great location We enjoyed the house. It was beautifully decorated and a great location. Walking distance to the beach and shops/restaurants was perfect. I would recommend the owners install a more secure lock on the front and back doors. We travelled with toddlers and small children and it was very unsafe because they could easily open the door. So we blocked it with baby gates and chairs as best as we could. But it was a source of stress for parents. Would also recommend adding actual curtains instead of sheers to the kitchen and living room. At night we felt like we had no privacy. The floors and counters were dirty when we arrived and everyone who walked barefoot had dirty feet. The washer and dryer and amenities were wonderful and the check in/out was easy. The beds were very comfortable and rooms were large, which was nice for families so we didn’t feel cramped. I would recommend the owners store some baby gates and toddler latches for the doors in the closet so families with small children can use them if staying there. Overall we enjoyed our stay. ##### Taylor M. Stayed 3 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Carlos I. 5 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Schoolhouse Delight I’ll start by Thanking the host’s of the property. There was an open line of communication right out the gate and pictures didn’t do this listing justice. Size of property was perfect for our Family of 12, kitchen was fully stocked, and location was very convenient. Best part of our stay…..the very comfy beds and pillows. After our 1st night the entire family complimented the comfort of the beds and it was tough getting out of the very comfy beds. 5 of 5 Stars on this listing. My family and I enjoyed our stay‼️ ##### Carlos I. Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Catherine N. 7 Apr 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great Location Just 1 block from sand beach and easy walk to fishing pier. Large bedrooms with comfortable beds. Clean and updated property. Not much privacy from outside in living/dinning/kitchen areas but ample room for large family groups. No outdoor amenities. Surely would stay again. ##### Catherine N. Stayed 5 nights in Apr 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ava L. 8 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful, Cozy, & Accommodating! Myself, my partner, my 7 family members and our 2 pups stayed here for our annual vacation to Colonial Beach & our experience was nothing short of spectacular. The host is super fast at replying, made our check in process easy, and was super hospitable. They even accommodated our last minute wish to check in early! The ONLY thing I can think of that can be improved is the level of cleanliness. Everything was beautiful and clean except for areas underneath the rugs, which were covered with sand and dirt. Other than that, our stay was enjoyable and we will definitely consider booking here again for years to come! I would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to book! ##### Ava L. Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Erika B. 10 Apr 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A great weekend away! We rented this house to host Easter weekend with our family. There was so much space for everyone, we had 10 people and it never felt crowded. The house is in great condition and we were able to cook a big dinner for everyone in the large kitchen. Check in/check out was simple. A very short walk to the beach and pier. This was our first time to colonial beach and we found it charming and imagine it will be more lively during the summer. ##### Erika B. Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Kendall C. 28 Feb 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Nice little getaway Very clean and pleasant property in a quiet neighborhood. Kitchen accessories well stocked for most needs. Decor is very tasteful. Nice open living space for larger groups. We chose the house for its off-street parking amenity, but were notified last minute that we would not be allowed to park in the driveway during our stay due to paving. ##### Kendall C.
