    Took a family vacation with a baby, a toddler, and a grandma. Everyone had an amazing time. The beach is literally one block away as are a number of restaurants and shops. We easily went to the beach every day of our stay. The Boxwood House is equipped with everything you’ll need from cooking and relaxing to entertainment. The playroom was a big hit with my daughter who spent down time playing with all the games, puzzles, and books. So fun! The travel crib they provided also meant we didn’t have to pack our own for the baby. They also had a number of beach toys, buckets, etc which helped keep the kiddo busy on the sand. Georgianna is a helpful, responsive, and excellent host. We highly recommend a stay at the Boxwood House!

    Overall we had a good stay. House was nice and we enjoyed our morning coffee on the porch. Location was good. Wish the town had a bit more to do. For our teen age boys. Hosts were great. Check in was very easy.

    Loved the front porch and drinking coffee in the morning and wine in the evening. Town is golf cart friendly so we used the cart to go everywhere. Beach is a short walk, as well as many restaurants. Free putt-putt right around the corner. Hosts were friendly and helpful.

    We literally parked our car and walked everywhere the entire week! The home was clean and had everything we needed. The hosts are close by if you need anything! We really enjoyed the wrap around porch! We loved our time at Colonial Beach and our stay in this beautiful home!

    We had a great time and Loved staying at The Boxwood. It was very clean and accommodating, and we got to meet the owners and they were very nice and helpful. We will definitely choose this location again. We had our teenage grandsons and they loved the location of the house and the beach. Would definitely recommend you checking out this property, the owners even own a little restaurant right behind the rental house and it serves delicious food! Colonial Beach will be a definite destination in our future and staying again at the Boxwood will be on our list!!

    For families with small children, the wrap porch is a perfect place to relax while your little ones, run, eat, and play in the shade. Inside, the large screen TV provides unlimited choices for the whole family. The pantry is generouseley stocked in case you forgot something and there is a new large commercial grade water heater so you never run out for showers. We had 6 adults and 3 small children anad appreciated the proximity to the beach, restaurants and ice ceam. One warning: bring pool shoes, the beach and river are rocky!
