Warm hospitality in an tranquil setting. Monroe Bay Inn, under new ownership, opened for business…read morein the fall of 2011. I stayed there in February 2012 and enjoyed it very much. The home has glossy wood floors and ample seating areas that would be great for a large family or group. Local art hangs throughout the Inn. Guest rooms are upstairs and spacious, each with a private bathroom. We stayed in Room #1. The feather bed was luxurious, and two windows offered nice views onto the large front yard and quiet street below. The innkeeper was polite and thoughtful. The bathroom was fairly new construction, but the tiny shower made for tricky maneuvering and the bathroom light-fan combo was annoyingly loud. Breakfast was tasty, with a variety of fresh coffees and orange juice, and friendly, personalized service. This home was owned by the family of Alexander Graham Bell, inventor of the telephone, and at one time provided summer stays to hearing-impaired children from the region. Upstairs, the rooms are lined along both sides of a longish hallway and hearken to that bygone era. At this time, the overnight fee was due up-front, and in cash. FYI.

My husband and I recently spent an overnight at The Monroe Bay Inn in Room #1. We had a pleasant…read morevisit - the Monroe Inn was spotless and comfy! I like the fact that the inn keeper had local art hanging throughout the inn to punctuate the spacious layout. The location was near the local sites in Colonial Beach and a short (5-10 minute) drive to the bay or beach area. The inn keeper suggested that the inn could accommodate family groups and was flexible regarding length of stay. If you are doing a winery visit or beach stay in the area, please consider the Monroe Inn for your stay.

What a glorious stay I had recently at Dennison Street Inn, located in one of my favorite small…read moretowns, Colonial Beach, Virginia. Innkeepers Jodie and John have left nothing to chance and in her own words, Jodie says that she learns something new with each new visitor, striving to accommodate every want and need. For example, when a guest complained of not having a specific blend of tea, Jodie made sure from that point on to have a wider selection. This attention to detail is evident from the moment you walk through the doors of the stately Victorian, originally built for the first mayor of Colonial Beach. The owners wanted furnishings to match the time period of the majestic home, but didn't want an overly feminine look as is common with Victorian decor. They found a perfect balance. Plush furniture in the living room (it's like sitting on a throne!) in muted colors with antiques and historic paintings on the walls. I imagine the owners going through each room, as if they were guests themselves, anticipating every possible need a visitor might want. There is a shoe rack at the door, earplugs next to your bed, and every type of sweetener (sugar, raw sugar, sugar substitute), coffee and tea you could desire. There was even a special dark colored, plush towel for removing makeup so I wouldn't feel bad mucking up the white ones. Speaking of towels...they are just one more attention to luxury detail. Super fluffy and absorbent. Bathroom rugs are like walking on a cloud. My room even had a whirlpool tub! The bed is so soft and has so many pillows, you could spend your whole weekend right there. Freshly baked homemade cookies greet you upon arrival. Breakfast (prepared to your liking) is served in your room. (My room had two separate seating areas, in addition to the bedroom. Queen for a day!) Jodie and John were so kind, warm, accommodating and helpful. I can't wait to go back!

I travel extensively for work and was lucky enough to come across the Dennison Street Inn in a…read morerecent search of where to stay in Colonial Beach, VA. This was hands down the right choice. Not only was the interior of the Inn impeccable, from its cleanliness to it's time set furniture and ambience but also, my room, the King Charles Suite, was huge and provided every comfort of home. In addition to every necessary amenity, I was also able to be super efficient at work as the internet was very fast and reliable. Jody was the absolute best host anyone could ask for. She was friendly and knew what I needed before I even asked for it. She was an amazing cook also, preparing the best cedar plank salmon I have ever had! All her meals were freshly made and delicious, accompanied by fresh herbs and veggies from her garden. I have definitely found my go-to place to stay when traveling to Colonial Beach!

They claimed that "our room was dirty" and refunded us for 5 days that we had already paid for. When I went into the office to discuss the issue,the lady used foul language and threatened that she could "kick us out today" at 5 in the evening. The dog always used the bathroom outside,and when told to quiet down once,we did. The biggest issue was fluff on the floor from our dogs chew toys. We chose this motel because it was family owned,but we were not treated like family. I would not recommend this motel if you have an option to go somewhere else.

For those who want to get off the beaten track and have a pleasant experience this is the perfect hotel for you.

Colonial Beach, Virginia, is known for having a number of cottage vacation rentals. I can't imagine…read moreone more perfect than Beachcomber Cottages' Beachcomber III. From the time we initiated the booking, owner Cathy Bokman could not have been more helpful, gracious or accommodating. She and husband George own 5 cottages in town and have for years, so they know the area well. When we contacted Beachcomber Cottages, we didn't request a specific house (all are listed on their website), just asked availability at any of them. We got waaaaaayyyy more than we bargained for--the place is huge! Beachcomber III is on "The Point", that is, it is located at the tip of the peninsula (opposite end of the "Downtown" entrance) upon which the Town of Colonial Beach is situated. This section is mostly residential, as opposed to downtown where most of the businesses and the busy public beach are found. At this end, there are marinas, a couple of restaurants and a popular tiki bar, but the house is far enough away that you don't hear anything. It is a very peaceful and quiet setting, with mature trees and a clear view to the Potomac River and a small beach. About that view...the morning after we arrived, I woke up early, walked into the living room (one of them, but more on that later) and pulled back the curtains. GASP! I was greeted with a breathtaking pre-dawn view of the sun just about to rise over the horizon of the Potomac River. I stood frozen, completely awestruck as I watched one of the most beautiful sunrises I've ever seen (and I've seen a lot!) The beauty of this town is overwhelming. The house itself looks brand new. I understand the owners had done a complete renovation and the result is spectacular. Everything was white glove clean. The layout, though, is what impressed me most. It is almost like being in two separate houses, connected by a shared kitchen and dining area. There are two big living rooms on opposite ends of the house, 4 bedrooms (2 masters, again separated by the kitchen) and more bathrooms than I could count (at least 3.) There is also a laundry room with full size washer and dryer, a nice sized front porch and a side porch with grill. There were only two of us, but I could see this as the ideal vacation for extended families, those with kids/teenagers or groups of friends. There is just so much space. Probably 3x the size of my former apartment in DC. The place is well equipped with a fully stocked kitchen (utensils, small appliances, spices, etc.), bathrooms with hair dryer, towels, etc. and a family room (one of the living rooms) with games, books, TV (in the bedrooms, too), DVD, etc. We didn't want for anything. Beds were comfortable, linens provided and pillows fluffy. Free wifi, too. Loved it!

I was treated as suspicious and put through some very strange questions and a weird overview of the hotel. Shown to a substandard room with a broken door with no apologies. Asked the next morning to stay a couple days more and again treated as suspect. I guess they thought since I was a single woman that had no luggage I couldn't afford the room. Money was no problem. The bed was comfortable but the room was nothing to write home about. Could barely get the door opened and felt uncomfortable asking the front desk for anything.
