Great beach house!

This was our second stay at “Picture Perfect”. We loved the deck, the quiet neighborhood and the visits from so many interesting birds. We had a great time riding through the area in our golf cart. We had great food at the local restaurants. We will look forward to another visit.

We had a wonderful and restful time.What you see advertised is what you get on location: Picture perfect.The check-in was easy and the kitchen is fully equipped. The house is nicely decorated.We went around the town and to the beaches. But for couple days the weather was not at its best: it rained and it was cloudy.Overall, it was a great experience.

Perfect Place to Stay

We were very impressed with the location and cleanliness of the house. The information on the history of the town and great places to eat or activities in the area was helpful. We would rent from this owner again.

Water views and sunsets

The house sits directly on the bay. The view out the sliding class doors is absolutely beautiful! Scott & Dan are great hosts - easy to communicate with and super friendly, unlike the lady across the street, who is not nice at all!

Lovely Comfortable Home

Very nice, clean and comfortable home. The interior was better than the pictures depicted. Our favorite place was the deck where we watched the ducks and swans. We would definitely come back.

Perfect for a Girls Weekend!

Stay was Picture Perfect! Three working moms took a break to spend time together and this home was exactly right. We spent hours on the deck looking not just at the water but multiple visits from swans, blue herons and osprey! Host provided great information on places to go out, an the town itself is overrun by golf carts, NOT tourist traps. Would definitely consider staying there again!

Second time, just as great

This was our second time staying at Picture Perfect and despite the cold weather our stay was comfy and perfect. Our host recommended a couple activities we would not have known about otherwise and we enjoyed them both. We plan to return as soon as possible! We love Colonial Beach and this location is absolutely perfect.

Beautiful location!

My husband and i live up the road but we rented this house for his parents, for the weekend. The location is absolutely fantastic and the house is gorgeous. I could have sat on the back deck for hours. Dan was very responsive to all of my questions. I wouldn't hesitate to rent from him, again.

Amazing Property

This beautiful cottage is super clean, well equipped, with calming and stylish decor, and superior views. Our group of 3 adults also appreciated the nice linens, comfy mattresses, luggage racks, gas grill, the cool temperature of the home upon our arrival and the timely correspondence with the host.
