Welcome to L’eau & Behold (L&B), your Colonial Beach oasis. Just 250 steps to the beach and a 5-minute walk to the boardwalk. L&B is just a short walk, or golf cart ride, to distinctive restaurants, quaint shops, fun bars with live music, grocery stores, and more! L&B is located on a quiet street and includes all of the comfort amenities for a perfect getaway to include multiple seating and gathering areas, two screened-in porches, ample parking, and fenced-in back yard with grill and fire pit. Activities to enhance your stay are provided to include DVDs, games for all ages, beach supplies (chairs, umbrella, and toys), and infant/toddler accessories (high chair, dining booster seat, pack-n-play, and single umbrella stroller).

As you're arrive at the charming farmhouse style cottage, you will find ample parking for 3 or 4 cars. You will be greeted by the cozy screened-in front porch with rocking chairs and porch swing. This spot will quickly become your favorite morning spot to enjoy a quiet cup of coffee, watch the sun rise, or hear the lapping of the river.

Upon entering the house, you arrive at the large front room with additional seating area and full downstairs bathroom. This spacious area will be your spot for family games, or just to unwind after a day out.

Through the living room you enter into the combination kitchen / dining room. The kitchen will be your home away from home as it includes a full-sized refrigerator, stove, dishwasher, microwave, air fryer, and toaster oven. Depending on how you like to cook, you're covered! The kitchen is fully stocked with pots & pans, bakeware, plates & bowls, cooking utensils, silverware, etc. The kitchen also includes a coffee pot and k-cup machine to include coffee, filters, and sugar and non-dairy creamer. Additional supplies are included such as paper products, hand soap, cleaning wipes, dishwashing liquid, cooking spices, and basic cooking supplies limiting what you need to bring!

Off of the kitchen is the laundry room that includes a full-sized washer and dryer with all necessary supplies to do laundry while vacationing.

Beyond the kitchen is the sunroom. Should you need to do any work while on vacation, the sunroom includes a work station with desk, monitor, and printer. But unplug and relax in the sunroom and watch movies, DVDs, or shows on the 50 TV, and cozy up with the electric fireplace.

Off of the sunroom is the 2nd screened-in porch where you can enjoy breakfast, happy hour, dinner or just to relax after a day at the beach. The porch includes a table, chairs, a fun egg chair, and porch lights for evening enjoyment.

Through the side porch, you enter the fenced-in backyard, where you will find a charcoal grill, gas fire pit with chairs, outdoor umbrella, and storage tent that holds beach items for guests to use.

The upper level includes 3 bedrooms that can comfortably sleep up to six (queen, queen, and 2 XL twin beds), all with smart TVs, and the 2nd full bathroom. The home is equipped with WiFi, air conditioning units throughout, ceiling fans, and baseboard heating to accommodate a comfortable year-round vacation location.

    Great house, even better location! Perfect for our short stay but I imagine it would also be great for a longer stay as well. Plenty of space for downtime before and after the beach! The location is ideal if you have little ones and need to lug things back back-and-forth from the beach.

    The space was perfect for a friend getaway! I’d suggest bringing earplugs if you are a light sleeper, there’s some sort of dripping sound on the roof when it rains and it’s relatively loud.

    It truly felt like a home away from home — warm, welcoming, and filled with the kind of comfort that reminded us of staying at Grandma’s. After more than 20 years of busy lives and not all being in the same room together, this stay brought us back in the best way. We came for a wedding, but now we’ve vowed to make this a yearly tradition.

    We had a great time here. The cottage is just a couple of blocks from the beach with parking for 2 cars golf cart. The kitchen was one of the most well stocked VRBO kitchens I've ever seen. Lots of lamps, and we appreciated the portable fans to supplement the window units. I wish the weather would have allowed us to utilize the front and back screened porches but it stubbornly remained in the 90's the whole time. There was a very thoughtful gift bag for us along with a bowl of snacks. The beds were amazing - so comfortable! Perfect place for our 3 night stay in CB - we'd happily stay again.

    We had a fantastic spring break getaway in Colonial Beach! The house was clean, bright, and full of natural light — a truly welcoming space from the moment we arrived. The property manager was excellent, with perfect communication from booking to checkout, making everything seamless.The location couldn’t have been better — walking distance to everything we needed, including a great local Mexican spot and a delicious Thai place that we really enjoyed. My three teenage boys also loved the house and everything it had to offer, which isn’t always easy to accomplish!Everything about our stay was comfortable, easy, and exactly what we hoped for. We’d absolutely return and highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a relaxing and convenient stay in Colonial Beach!

    Stayed here with my partner for the weekend and were very surprised with all the accommodations. Host made sure the house was stocked so that we could minimize what we brought with us. There were snacks, cooking supplies, movies, board games, you name it! She even left a little gift bag which was so sweet. Overall cleanliness was great. There were some kitchen items that needed to be rewatched but it wasn’t a big deal since everywhere else was fairly clean. Place is close to piers so I was able to go fishing. I came during off season but would def book again to enjoy the summer activities that Colonial has to offer!

    This was our best stay in Colonial Beach so far! Ginny was a great host, making sure we got checked in and that everything was up to our standards. The house had plenty of room for the two of us. Would be great for two couples or a family with a few kids. The house was well equipped and had everything you could ever want! There are plenty of games, tvs, and space, including a nice screened in porch in the front and another in the back. The beds and bedding are super comfy. The best we’ve encountered in CB! Plenty of towels, and they were nice and plush. We will definitely rent again when we go back to Virginia to visit family! Thank you Ginny for everything!
