Here Are A Few King Words From Our Past Guests:
"Great location away from too many distractions yet right by everything in the city if needed. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a place to stay. This place beats 99% of other options in the area!" - Darian
"Couldn't have asked for a better place it was a beautiful home with everything you could possibly need and more." - Sheree

☆☆ BEDROOMS + BATHROOMS ☆☆
Each of the home’s bedrooms is designed with guest comfort in mind. Fall asleep in comfortable beds and wake up refreshed for another exciting (or relaxing!) day at the beach.
There are three stylish bedrooms. Get away from the world in a spacious primary ensuite. The other two bedrooms share a second full bathroom.
☆☆ KITCHEN & DINING ☆☆
The kitchen and dining area offer plenty of room to comfortably host family dinners and are outfitted with all the cookware, dishes, utensils, and appliances you will need to cook delicious meals. The dining table can seat up to eight.
☆☆ LIVING SPACES ☆☆
The main level has a living room with two large, comfortable couches and seating for eight.
☆☆ OUTSIDE SPACE ☆☆
While there are plenty of outdoor activities nearby, the house also provides its own outdoor sanctuary for guests to enjoy. We invite you to relax in the backyard or on the deck. There are plenty of seating areas for guests to sip morning coffee or enjoy a happy hour drink as the sun goes down. There are string lights to provide ambient lighting.
☆☆ THE NEIGHBORHOOD ☆☆
Our home sits in one of Colonial Beach's historically significant residential neighborhoods — an area shaped by generations of families and a deep sense of community. The brick home across the street once served as a public school for African American children during segregation, reflecting an important chapter in the town's educational and cultural history. Nearby, First Baptist Church has long been a spiritual and civic cornerstone of the neighborhood.
This is a real, lived-in neighborhood and our neighbors tend to have company! You'll see friends and family stopping by, kids playing, occasional hangouts happening on the street and sidewalk, especially in good weather.
Guests who appreciate walkability, history, and an authentic sense of place will find this location offers a unique perspective on Colonial Beach beyond the immediate waterfront strip.
This property has a Ring camera on the exterior facing the front yard - it does not look into interior spaces.
We allow reliably house-trained dogs for a $25 pet fee per dog per night for stays under 7 nights. If you want to bring your dog, please let us know:
- If they are 100% reliably house-trained
- The dog's age
We must approve their stay, but we have never rejected a dog that meets this criteria. We do not allow cats or puppies.
We would really appreciate it if you could bathe your dog before visiting.
** If you're not a pet person, note that we are very good at keeping our homes super clean despite hosting pets.
** No smoking. No incense. NO PARTIES. The property has smart systems that will alert us in case of a party or smoke. We charge a $500 fee in case of violations. **
HASSLE-FREE DAMAGE INSURANCE is included in your stay. We'll share details when you book.

Summary: We stayed for 2 nights in the fall for a family event at Stratford Harbor. The house was pristine and cozy. Loved the fenced backyard for the pets and the walk ability of the town. The host and back up host were VERY responsive.
