Excellent!
What a gem at Colonial Beach! Having never been, we couldn’t have picked a more perfect place. Cozy, comfortable and convenient to everything. Waking to the sunrise was a treat. Very clean. Beds are comfy. Big nice bathroom. History of the building is so interesting. The owners are very very nice to work with. Would love to come back!
Tiny complaint: there were no tissues. I would definitely add a box.

A perfect getaway
If you’re looking for a relaxing time away from the city’s hustle & bustle, Colonial Beach is the place and this property is where you should stay! The location was perfect for us. The apartment is spacious, clean, and beautifully furnished. Terry and Neil were amazing hosts: clear communications and responded quickly to our questions. Will definitely stay here again!

Charming beach getaway
Loved our trip to Colonial Beach. The rental is much bigger than we expected. The photos do not do this place justice. It’s charming, clean, and nicely decorated. It’s a modern loft in a quiet and cute beach town.
Terry was kind and communicative throughout our stay. I appreciated knowing he was would respond quickly.
It’s located steps from restaurants and shops. Right in the middle of downtown Colonial Beach. Definitely would stay here again.

Awesome and Adorable!!
Recent visit to Colonia Beach. First--What a very cute town! The people you meet when out and about are extremely friendly! That's a huge plus. Second, when I arrived at Cell Block, I wasn't sure what to expect. However, I was blown away with a few things--Convenience and location to things downtown; the decor in the unit is ADORABLE and right up my alley in terms of design, and very spacious. LOVED it! Communication with the host and recommendations for things to do were super clear--they're great folks who respond immediately! All told, this was an outstanding place to visit and a great Cell Block!! We'll be BACK!!

Hidden Gem
I had a wonderful visit to Colonial Beach this past week and I really enjoyed my stay at the Cell Block residence. The unit was impeccably clean, tastefully decorated and well equipped with all the modern amenities including a washer/dryer, high speed internet and Roku. The location was also unbeatable! You’re only a stone’s throw away from everything Colonial Beach has to offer, including local shops, a variety of restaurants and breweries, and the beach. The hosts were very attentive and welcoming which helped make my first-time visit to Colonial Beach a truly memorable experience. I look forward to my next visit!

A Real Jewel!
Located right in the heart of Colonial Beach with a view of the beach. This two-bed room suite has a open floorplan with a living room area setup for watching TV, paying games, reading or just relaxing. It is tastefully decorated and has a fully equipped kitchen and full size washer and dryer. The bedrooms have delightful wood strip accent walls and the bathroom has tub, shower and separate toilet room. All the essential are supplied. The unit is self-checking with the door lock code provided by the owner prior to your arrival and communication with them was great. There are a variety of restaurants, brewery, coffee shops and the Potomac River sandy beach just a block away. The unit has excellent high speed Internet and there is even an office desk setup with WiFi printer if you need to sit down and do a little work, but take time to enjoy the beach and the social scene and events going on while you are there. We will definitely come back and stay in this upscale suite.
