Picture Perfect Waterfront in town Sleeps 6 Expansive Outdoor dining area

It could have used measuring cups but we made due with measuring spoons. I would recommend fixing the toilet paper holder in the main bathroom; it kept falling downward and we finally just put the paper on the counter for our stay. The hot/cold water was not easily adjustable in the master bathroom; I switched to main bathroom but my sister got the master to work.

Cute house. Amazing views. Great location for walking. Clean and responsive hosts. Loved having a fan in every bedroom.

Perfect sisters weekend. Beds were comfy, view was absolutely stunning! Would definitely come back!

Dan is a fantastic host! Really went above and beyond to make sure our experience was exceptional. We'll be back!

The house was clean, comfortable, and well equipped. Any questions were answered quickly and completely. A pair of swans put on a show for me one day.

Everything was perfect.

This was our 4th time staying at this property. We can't get enough of the view and the peace and calm. The house is comfortable with beautiful interior design and all you need to feel right at home. This will always be our go to property when we stay in Colonial Beach.

We had a wonderful stay for a birthday weekend. The house was well located and adorably decorated. Being right on the water allowed for a peaceful morning coffee or evening beverage! It was a very warm weekend so returning to a wonderfully cold house was refreshing. Thanks for a great stay.

House has been nicely updated and the location is just amazing. We did not cook much but everything we needed was available when we did. The neighbors were very friendly and seemed genuinely happy to have us there. House was exactly as advertised, a fact that we have not always been able to say about other rentals. Our first time to Colonial Beach but we will absolutely be back and Picture perfect will be the first place we check for availability.

Outstanding view, house was clean and comfortable. Kitchen equipped with everything we needed plus. Would definitely stay here again. We were also treated to a group of Swans and other wildlife on the deck waterfront daily.

Very impressive!

We had a wonderful and restful time.What you see advertised is what you get on location: Picture perfect.The check-in was easy and the kitchen is fully equipped. The house is nicely decorated.We went around the town and to the beaches. But for couple days the weather was not at its best: it rained and it was cloudy.Overall, it was a great experience.

Would have been better if it had direct access to the beach. Also, would have been nice with an ocean view

The house is beautiful and very clean, the beds comfortable and the view of the water is amazing!!!! The big screen tv was also very nice for movie nights. We had ducks and swans visiting us with their babies. Would def love to come back and stay in the future.

The house sits directly on the bay. The view out the sliding class doors is absolutely beautiful! Scott & Dan are great hosts - easy to communicate with and super friendly, unlike the lady across the street, who is not nice at all!

The view is beautiful in this town. The house is clean and well arranged. Thank you.

This was our second stay at “Picture Perfect”. We loved the deck, the quiet neighborhood and the visits from so many interesting birds. We had a great time riding through the area in our golf cart. We had great food at the local restaurants. We will look forward to another visit.

Very nice, clean and comfortable home. The interior was better than the pictures depicted. Our favorite place was the deck where we watched the ducks and swans. We would definitely come back.

Stay was Picture Perfect! Three working moms took a break to spend time together and this home was exactly right. We spent hours on the deck looking not just at the water but multiple visits from swans, blue herons and osprey! Host provided great information on places to go out, an the town itself is overrun by golf carts, NOT tourist traps. Would definitely consider staying there again!

This place was wonderful. My husband got the house to take our family on a mini vacation for my 60th birthday. It was everything it was promised to be. House was very clean and sitting on the deck felt like being on the water. The only downside was the neighbors across the street and to the right made sure to let us know that they did not like people and didn't want us there. Not just us but anyone. They went out of their way to make us uncomfortable, but we didn't let it ruin anything. The house and location are exactly what they advertise. Picture Perfect.

This was our third stay at Picture Perfect. We love the relaxed atmosphere. The view is spectacular and its so peaceful and quiet. This will always be our go to when we come to Colonial Beach. We love that community and we can't wait till next time.

My husband and i live up the road but we rented this house for his parents, for the weekend. The location is absolutely fantastic and the house is gorgeous. I could have sat on the back deck for hours. Dan was very responsive to all of my questions. I wouldn't hesitate to rent from him, again.

We were very impressed with the location and cleanliness of the house. The information on the history of the town and great places to eat or activities in the area was helpful. We would rent from this owner again.

We had a great stay, home was just as advertised. Very clean, kitchen was well stocked, nice outside area with great views. Neighborhood was very quiet and safe. We were visited every morning and evening by a mallard couple. One evening we were visited by a couple of swans. Being off-season, dining options were a few, most restaurants had limited seating and limited menus. Dockside was our favorite, Colonial Brewing, Icehouse Brewery were good. We recommend renting a golf cart to get around town. Our visit was March 12-16. Spent one day each at Calverts Cliff and Flag Ponds searching for sharks teeth. Only 30 months from Fredericksburg, nice relaxing visit. Highly recommend this house.

We were there for a work trip....love the house and location and views...

This was our second time staying at Picture Perfect and despite the cold weather our stay was comfy and perfect. Our host recommended a couple activities we would not have known about otherwise and we enjoyed them both. We plan to return as soon as possible! We love Colonial Beach and this location is absolutely perfect.

We had a great time. House was very roomy, and the views were lovely. Would love to visit again.

We had a girls weekend. We had so much fun! The house was exceptionally clean. The weather was beautiful and we sat outside on the deck all weekend. The house was beautiful and it was a great time! We will definitely go back!

Stunning views from the back sliding door and porch. Enjoyed feeding the swans and ducks. Very quiet neighborhood and would suggest a golf cart to get around.

This was our fourth trip to Colonial Beach and by far the best location we have stayed. Being on the deck enjoying the view of the bay was our favorite place to be. We loved the interior design of the house, but especially loved the outdoor areas. The location to all of our favorite spots (beach and dining) was perfect, being just a short walk or cart ride away. Neighborhood was quiet and the views spectacular. This will be our go to every time we visit!

This property exceeded any expectation I had. The view really is picture perfect. The deck is amazing and we spent a lot of time out there. The inside is equally impressive - beautiful decor, big kitchen with all you need, huge TV! We can’t wait to go back.

This house is great! Loved that we could fish from the back yard. We will definitely book this property again.

We absolutely loved this house! The water view is truly amazing, pictures don’t do it justice. We spent lots of time sitting down by the water, fishing and eating meals on the deck. We enjoyed our visitors including ducks, a swan, herons, turtles and osprey. Just heaven! The house is super clean, thoughtfully organized and has everything you could need. We enjoyed watching the Olympics on the large screen TV too. We really appreciated the extra touches like shampoo/conditioner/body soap in the showers and board/card games. We hope to come back next summer! Now that I’ve seen this view, it will be hard to stay anywhere else!!

This property is definitely a gem! From the moment we walked into the front door and can see straight through the back door onto the water, it was breathtaking. The community was very quiet. Every place we wanted to go was within walking distance so we did. We all agreed that the beds were the best we've ever slept on. The house was fully stocked with everything we needed in the bathrooms and kitchen. They even had citronella candles on the patio. This was a much needed getaway for some old high school friends and thank you for such a beautiful place to spend time together. A couple dining recommendations as well. We walked to Los Hermanos Cantina, excellent drinks and delicious food. We also dined at Sunflower (French/Thai) which was wonderful as well. The sushi was on point as well as the creme brulee for dessert. Dan was a great host and very responsive. We loved everything about it and would love to rebook next year.

This beautiful cottage is super clean, well equipped, with calming and stylish decor, and superior views. Our group of 3 adults also appreciated the nice linens, comfy mattresses, luggage racks, gas grill, the cool temperature of the home upon our arrival and the timely correspondence with the host.

The view is beautiful and prefect to just sit outside and unwind. We had a nice dinner on the deck and were able to get some fishing in. My son caught his firsr fish ever. The beach is walkable and I liked how calm the water was. Dan was always quick to reply with any assistance we needed. We plan on making this house a yearly getaway.
