Book a Colonial Beach Cottage

"This 5-bedroom home exceeded all of our expectations! The space was beautifully maintained, clean, and thoughtfully laid out, making it perfect for a large group. Each bedroom was comfortable and private, and the common areas were spacious enough for everyone to gather without feeling crowded.The kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed, and the living areas were cozy yet stylish. The bathrooms were spotless, and there were plenty of linens and towels for our stay.The location was ideal—convenient, quiet, and close to everything we needed. The host was responsive, welcoming, and made the entire process seamless from check-in to check-out.We truly felt at home here and would absolutely recommend this property to anyone looking for a relaxing and memorable stay. We can’t wait to come back!"

"We had previously stayed here when it was 'Potomac View,' and while we loved it then, the transformation into 'The Pearl' is amazing. The owners have managed to keep the historic charm while providing a fully updated and comfortable experience.The location remains unbeatable and the wraparound porch with the waterfront view over the Potomac is still the best in Colonial Beach. The interior updates are impressive. The removal of the wall between the kitchen and living room opens up the whole space. We especially appreciated the new central HVAC (no more window units!) and the fast Wi-Fi.The kitchen is stocked with high-end cookware (Cuisinart/Chicago Cutlery) and appliances like the induction range and wine fridge that made cooking easy for our large group. Being able to seat all 10 of us at the new dining table with the crystal chandelier felt very special.The kids also had a great stay. The 'kids nook' was a thoughtful touch and we loved using the new bikes to explore and the cornhole boards in the yard.It is rare to find a 150-year-old home that feels this fresh, warm and comfortable. We are so glad the new owners preserved the heart of this home while making it better than ever! Will be back!"

"We were seaking a peaceful retreat and this property delivered. The house was well equipped, clean, and comfortable. Will be planning another visit. "

"My hotel door opened up to (I’m not good with distance so I have no idea what I’m saying, but) essentially 100 steps from the beach🏖️. AMAZING, so cool! (Note this is a river beach, not an ocean—but still very beautiful & blissful.) definitely a diamond in a rough spot. I parked my car right in front of my hotel door. Grabbed pizza to go just up the block (and there’s a nice grocery store just up the block for whatever other snacks you want!) there’s a mini fridge in the hotel. **Apologies for my sorta poor quality photos! I forgot to take photos. I only took an AMAZING video of my view walking to the beach from my front door in the morning at sunrise. This review seems to not let me post a video— so for this review, my photos are screenshots I captured from my video.)☺️🌅 Oh & this place is pet friendly. Two other hotel families had a dog. They had smaller dogs. I assume policy extends to bigger dogs."

"House was clean and well supplied. Tammy, the host, is responsive and accommodating. We enjoyed our stay. "

"We had a wonderful stay at this tucked-back, off-the-road Colonial Beach home. It was so peaceful—you could only hear the birds—but still conveniently right across from a grocery store and just about a mile from the beach town. The house was spotless and stocked with everything we could possibly need. Shannon was a terrific host, and we really appreciated her thoughtfulness. We loved fishing right in front of the house, our family game night, the basement bonus-room games, and a couple long walks on the beach. We’re already planning to come back as soon as we can."

"The host was awsome. Loved the house. Everything was in like new condition. Couldn't be a better location. Looking forward to going back. Hopefully for at least a week next time."

"Host was very welcoming; everything was great."

"What a wonderful weekend stay. Grab your coffee, sit outside and enjoy the peaceful view!"
