About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Waterfront with spectacular view, close to restaurants and bars

Imagine yourself with a glass of wine, sitting on our front porch (we call it our Tuscan veranda), watching a breathtaking sunset over Monroe Bay. Unobstructed water view, located on "The Point", recently renovated with cook's kitchen, 2 beds, 2 full baths, sleeping up to 5 guests. Beaches a short 3 block scenic walk. Bring your bikes or rent a golfcart. A variety of restaurants/bars located within blocks. Wifi included. Ample parking for cars and trailers. When we have guests in the house we occupy our RV at the rear of our 17,000 square foot property. Nothing is shared between us and our guests including amenities. Guests are closer to next door neighbors than they are to us.

Relax at Colonial Beach

Beautiful home with amazing views of Monroe Bay. Enjoyed lovely sunsets almost every day. We rented a golf cart to go back and forth to the beach and into town. The house was spotlessly clean and owner lives on site if you have any problems.

Post Summer Get-away

We all had a wonderful time at this property in Colonial Beach. At first, we wanted to get away from everything, but we realized a lot of beach destinations were a hike from civilization. We decided on this house and location because of the beautiful view, the property and it's proximity to shops and restaurants, while still be quiet. This was it!! Great service when we had questions, welcoming home, and spacious for the 2 couples that stayed. Would definitely come back!

Best Retreat Ever!

“Sunsets & Mermaids” was aptly named and the best quiet retreat ever. Beautifully appointed, clean and stocked with everything you would want or need in a vacation home away from home. The owner was so accommodating and helpful. I’d stay here again and again.

A sweet little spot not too far from home...

You're going to love it! This is a great home close to the water, restaurants and bars. It had all of the amenities that we needed as a family of five. We enjoyed sitting out on the porch, playing games, bird watching and playing ball in the yard. The host was responsive and accommodating of our needs (even offered an air mattress for our extra kiddo)... And the home was SO clean! The beaches are a short walk or ride away! Although it is not necessary, we would recommend renting a golf cart because it made the experience so much fun!

My wife and I needed a little R&R and randomly chose Colonial Beach. We could not be happier with Sunsets and Mermaids. The house was beautiful and the view was unbelievable. Three gorgeous sunsets made our time away...a 5 star getaway.
