    We loved this property. Everything was clean and comfortable. Everything looked to be newly remodeled. Easy check in/out. And it was easy to get around town and to the beach from the location. It was very quiet and relaxing. This was the perfect place for our stay.

    I stayed at the Blue Heron with my 2 kids (2 and 10) and my large dog. The fenced in large yard was absolutely wonderful to have everyone outside when at the house. I loved the lot - so much space on 3 of the sides without being right on top of another house! The bay view off the side of the house really topped it off! The house was incredibly clean inside. As an unexpected surprise, there’s an auto ice maker in the freezer, saving me from having to make a trip to a store with the kids for filling our cooler. My kids loved the whole experience so much, they keep asking when we can stay again. Both kids got teary eyed when we left. We absolutely will be back.

    Great little house close to the river and to Monroe Bay. Perfect house for a mini getaway for my wife and I. Communication with the hosts was super easy, and the use of the golf cart was a huge added bonus!

    The recently updated Blue Heron Cottage was neat and clean and the beds were truly comfortable. The cottage is just a short walk to the shops and restaurants in Colonial Beach. The attractions at Westmoreland State Park, including Fossil Beach, are a short drive away.

    Really cute home! Could use a blow dryer, I never travel with one because every vacation rental has at least one. Also, maybe better quality bath towels & bedding. Loved the use of the golf cart!!Thank you, Colonial Beach is wonderful!Loved

    We really enjoyed our stay at Blue Heron Cottage. Our dog Rosie especially liked the fenced yard and screened in porch, where she basked in the sun. The location was central and convenient for my husband and I to enjoy local oysters, a winery tour, and a hike in Caladon State Park. We had never been to Colonial Beach before, but we will be back!

    This is a great cottage . Close to everything, but in a quaint quiet neighborhood. You won’t be disappointed its even better than the pictures. Absolutely perfect for a small family and dog. Screened porch and outside decks were great . Definitely a five star.

    The Blue Heron Cottage was an excellent stay for my family. While small, the property was big enough for us and two kids. The cottage itself inside was pretty new all around. The only thing that needs updating would be the shower. Full kitchen with oven and fridge was nice. Beds comfy. Property good for kids and a dog if you have one. The best part was the location. A block from the bay and three from the river. We would definitely stay here again. Thank you for having us!

Very clean, very responsive and helpful! ly recommend

    The cottage was small but perfict for 2 people and had good view from the side porch of Monroe Bay. It was clean and had what was needed in the kitchen. The owner was responsive to the tv problem and very friendly. We had a great time in a relaxing, quite location.

    We loved the area and plan to return with family. We loved the cabinets (easy close and so quiet) and fenced yard for our dog. Plus the screened in porch with ceiling fan and table was nice. This is great place for a small family- but because of the small living room I wouldn’t suggest more than 2 adults. There are water views on both ends of the street and everything you need is nearby! Definitely rent the golf cart! It’s a lot of fun.
