About this house rental
Welcome to beautiful Monroe Bay! Relax in the beautifully refurbished home, on the back deck, by the private pool, or by the water on the private dock. Bring your boat or jet skis to explore the creek and local water way.
Located in a private community 2 minutes from downtown Colonial Beach and just 2 hours from Washington, D.C.; 1 hour from Richmond, VA, and about 30 minutes from Fredericksburg, VA. The quaint Town of Colonial Beach has restaurants, boutiques, grocery stores, breweries, and public beaches.
Just minutes away is access to wineries (Monroe Bay, Ingleside, and Back Porch), breweries (Creekside), State Parks (Westmoreland and Caledon), and historical sites (Birth places of James Monroe and George Washington, as well as Stratford Hall which is home of the Lee Family).
The house is equipped with High Speed Internet and two Smart TVs for your streaming needs.
Golf Carts (not included in rental): Colonial Beach is a Golf Cart community. There are rentals available and there is access to the town from the property, should you want an alternate way to explore the town.
Water Access: There is a small ramp for launching kayaks, jet skies, or small craft (e.g., john boats) on the property. For run-abouts and larger craft, there is a public ramp in the town of Colonial Beach (5 minute drive). The public ramp is free, but there is a fee to park. There is ample trailer parking at the property. Monroe Bay Creek is mostly brackish water, but once one transitions to the Potomac River, the water is salt and requires a Potomac River or VA salt water fishing license.
The Dock: There are 2 slips for docking watercraft. The creek is tidal and the water depth varies; average water depth is about 4 feet. Bring your own dock lines, bumpers, etc. You are welcome to crab and fish from the dock, so pack your gear. Please clean up any bait so not to attract gulls. Typical fish species caught include Perch and Catfish; occasionally Spot and puppy drum (late summer/fall).
The Pool: There is a private pool, gazebo and sun deck on the property. Four (4) pool towels are provided for your use. The pool is not heated.
The Kayaks: There are two (2) sit-on-top kayaks, paddles and lifejackets available for guest use. Note: VA law requires assessable life jackets on board; Children 13 years of age and under must wear a life jacket at all times while boating.
Horses: There are horses adjacent to the property. They are not part of the rental, so please do not touch or feed. However, they are very peaceful to watch from the front of the house.

We had a wonderful stay at this tucked-back, off-the-road Colonial Beach home. It was so peaceful—you could only hear the birds—but still conveniently right across from a grocery store and just about a mile from the beach town. The house was spotless and stocked with everything we could possibly need. Shannon was a terrific host, and we really appreciated her thoughtfulness. We loved fishing right in front of the house, our family game night, the basement bonus-room games, and a couple long walks on the beach. We’re already planning to come back as soon as we can.

Wonderful house and wonderful host. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience for a last minute 25th anniversary getaway.

We were in town visiting family and this VRBO was great! The home was easy to find, check-in was a breeze and the listing was exactly as advertised. The kitchen was well-stocked, the beds were comfortable, plenty of towels, and the property was clean. We had a handwritten personal note and some chocolates from the host upon arrival, which was a nice touch. This property has plenty of extras too — “in case you forgot” boxes, stocked household items (dish soap, paper towels, laundry soap, etc.), games, pool floats, kayaks, life vests, and much more! We had an issue at the house with a circuit breaker getting tripped. The host answered my text immediately and helped us fix the problem. There are no crazy rules or any cumbersome requirements for check-out. We would 100% stay here again if we were in the area.

This is a lovely property right on the water. It’s quiet and peaceful with a wonderful pool and outdoor space. The local water fowl were fun to watch especially the swans and geese. They arrived every morning and left in the evening. The house has everything you need for an easy vacation. We didn’t find one thing wrong!
