Relaxing family weekend
Our stay at the Shore Cottage was everything we could have wanted and more. The home is beautifully appointed and impeccably maintained. Everything was fresh and clean and very comfortable. We enjoyed the amenities of the gazebo overlooking the water and our boys spent endless hours playing in the sand and water. Just a short car trip to restaurants and attractions, very manageable. The hostess, Marilyn, is very sweet and extremely helpful and accomodating. Can't beat coffee in the gazebo watching the sunrise. Will absolutely visit again!

Beach retreat
We had a wonderful stay — The house was as advertised and we loved spending time on the sunroom, screen porch and of course the beach! We were surprised to see swans everyday on the water— it was very cool! The one downside was the lack of mixing bowl, but I improvised. We would definitely return!

Amazing stay
I stayed at the property with my daughter and 12 yo grandson. We had an amazing time. The views alone are worth the stay and the house is spacious but cozy and well decorated. Marilyn was a pleasure to chat with (via text) and was very responsive to questions and concerns. She left a welcome bottle of wine along with beach pail and shovel, bubbles and a bucket hat for my grandson. Marilyn is a very, very thoughtful hostess. I wish I had booked more days! We will certainly be back.

Peaceful Riverside Getaway
The cottage was spotless, well-stocked, spacious and located in a quiet waterside neighborhood. We enjoyed sitting on the private beach, paddle boarding in the calm Potomac River, riding bikes, eating crabs under the covered picnic table, and playing games and watching fireworks from in the screened in deck overlooking the water. We ventured into town several times and loved Colonial Beach Brewing, The Ice Cream Hut, and enjoyed two delicious meals at High Tides Restaurant & Tiki Bar. The owner was easy to communicate with, friendly and accommodating. We will definitely return!

Colonial Beach
I was very impressed with the cottage. It was adorable and super clean. The view was great. We had 4 adults and 2 small children with plenty of space for everyone. Marilyn was super helpful and accommodating. Plus, she has thought of all the little niceties that make your stay go from good to outstanding. We will stay there again.

Perfection for a family getaway!
We absolutely loved our stay at Shore cottage. The owners went above and beyond, promptly answered all questions and even left bubbles for the kids and a bottle of wine for the parents! They’ve really tried to think of everything, plenty of towels, beach towels, blankets, dishes, etc. The private beach is gorgeous and perfectly calm for preschool aged kids to play safely. We loved watching the sunrise in the screened patio overlooking the water and spent hours looking for shells and rocks on our own private beach. A short drive to town we tried two great restaurants - dockside which is a must for kids and families and an excellent Mexican place recommended by the owners. We plan to return to Shore Cottage regularly!

A Little Gem Tucked Away!
Love this House! All the comforts of home and a little more. Breathtaking views of the river. Enjoyed watching the ducks and swans swim right in front of the house. I definitely will be returning.
