Book a hotel near James Monroe Birthplace, Colonial Beach

"Convenient location. Easy walk to Monroe Bay or Potomac River. Also easy access to hop on the free Trolley that takes you all over Colonial Beach. Will definitely come back!"

"Close to everything. Very spacious"

"We enjoyed the property and the owner was great about answering my emails. It was very clean, and comfortable for all of us. We had 4 adults and 4 teenagers for the week. We had a Minivan and SUV and with the golf cart- parking was a little tight- but doable. We rented a golf cart thru T&T golf cart rentals and that was a bonus for entertainment for the teenagers (They have a sticker so you don't pay parking). We participated in the Diner's escape room and successfully escaped if you are looking for an activity for a rainy day- check them out! We went to 2 different beaches in town. The down beach by Dockside was fun, has a volleyball net to enjoy (there was a ball in the box by the net). I will suggest water shoes- as the beach is more shelly than sandy. We had 2 members stung by jellyish during our stay- BAKING SODA! do NOT pee on it- and recovered well. We went to the beach at the end of Madison Ave and had zero issues there. If you are interested in checking out DC- I suggest you plan your itinerary early as some required tickets to get in (Washington Monument, Whitehouse, Capitol Tour, Ford Theater, and Archives). We opted to use public transport to get into the city and utilized the Franconia -Springfield Metro station to access the metro which took us to Arlington and inner DC. We also used the busses in DC as it is a LOT of walking. I suggest the 13$ day card as it was easier than the app on my phone which kept glitching. It took us approx 90 min to drive to the metro station at Franconia and then approx 30-40 min to use Metro to get into city- but we did not have to drive in the city or pay city parking! We ate at the High Tides- Were not thrilled with the food or service on a Friday night. We went to Dockside for drinks- Orange Crush was dangerously delish. Ice Cream hut had odd hours making it difficult to get ice cream after dinner (we eat later so after 8PM was when we went searching for treats) my kids loved it, I was not impressed. We enjoyed Colonial Beach for our purposes of sun, beach and vacation with exploring DC."

"This adorable rental was perfect for our family to enjoy an extended weekend at the beach. Close to everything. The kitchen was well stocked and ready to prepare meals. Loved the lights in the backyard and the care package welcome note were a nice touch."

"great little cottage. had a plumbing problem the owner was great about it. had everything we needed and more during our stay."

"Nice we’ll maintained house a short distance from most everything in Colonial Beach. The bedrooms are nice, but have small double size beds which made sleeping tough for couples. Everything else was great."
