Great proactive communication from the host. The house was really well stocked -- all the things you may need in the kitchen, soap and supplies in the bathrooms, etc. House in a central location walkable to the point and to the heart of town.

We love Colonial Beach

This is about the seventh or eighth time we have stayed a long weekend in Colonial Beach. We rent a golf cart and love riding all over the town checking out the houses that were decked out for Halloween. It was even better this past weekend since they had a Halloween Golf Cart Parade on Saturday afternoon. They also had a BBQ Cook Off and their Fall Festival. This was a great weekend to be at Colonial Beach.
