Book a hotel near James Monroe Birthplace, Colonial Beach

"Great breakfast."

"The house is lovely, with a kitchen dreams are made of — great for cooking, conversing, and eating. Tons of space, everything you could possibly need to cook or bake, and plenty of storage in the cabinets and pantry for all your snacks and ingredients.The fire pit in the front yard was perfect for roasting marshmallows (the provided camp chairs and corn hole set made it even better), and the picnic table next to the grill was great for sitting outside while the burgers were on. The private dock is lovely and well maintained, with stairs down to the shoreline, and great for fishing or just relaxing. Plus, the front porch and balcony are well situated to enjoy the sunrise or just sit and watch the boats — and even dolphins! — go by. If the weather’s not cooperating, the sun room’s a comfortable substitute with the same great view. It’s about a mile from the main beaches and commercial areas of Colonial Beach, so it’s much quieter (when there aren’t people shooting off their leftover 4th of July fireworks ), but you’ll likely want to bike or drive to restaurants or the beach. Book your golf cart well in advance!We had an issue with the water heater at 10pm the night we arrived, but Dan responded within minutes and put us in touch with the property manager, who offered to come out despite the late hour. It ended up being a quick fix I could take care of, but it was great to know how attentive and responsive both the host and property manager were. Can’t wait to come back!"

"Comfortable, clean quiet. All the things necessary for a good nights sleep"

"Excellent "

"This was our 2nd stay at this hotel for my wife, and I and we came away more impressed than our 1st. stay. Let me start off by saying what a welcome by Joy who was at the front desk. She was very welcoming, Cheerful and attentive, even though she was new to her position. The room was nicely appointed with low comfortable beds, unlike those tall beds in other establishments that you need a step ladder to get into, full size refrigerator, a good size TV with lots of channels to view. Everywhere at this hotel was spotless, including the dog walk area. They also had a well-kept area with picnic benches, a grill, horseshoes court, and an area set up for cornhole. The only small drawback is they do not have free breakfast but considering the difference in price between them and the other area hotels (which we have stayed at them all) and the recent poor quality of the breakfast at those hotels make staying at My Place worth the price"

"A lovely place to stay near family in the area with plenty of places to shop and eat nearby"
