Summary:
Welcome to Coastal Grace, a classic beach cottage in Colonial Beach’s golf-cart-friendly community. The single-level home has three bedrooms and sleeps eight, with a game room, a fully fenced backyard, and an EV charger. Spend your days on the waterfront or cruising town by golf cart, then come home to the hot tub, the fire pit, and an outdoor shower under the trees.
The Space:
Coastal Grace is an updated coastal retreat built for families, friends, and groups who want the best of Colonial Beach. Comfortable indoor gathering spaces, a game room, a fully fenced backyard, a hot tub, and an outdoor shower give everyone room to spread out, on a relaxed weekend or a full week of activity.
🍽️ Gather
The heart of the home is built for time together. Share meals around the dining table, settle into the living room, or head to the game room for a little friendly competition. Custom murals painted by the owner and an air hockey table make it the room for family game nights and rainy-day afternoons. Outside there is more space to connect, on the deck, around the fire pit, or over dinner on the grill.
🛏️ Rest
Three bedrooms on a single level, sleeping eight. The primary has a king bed and an attached half bath, the second a queen, and the third two sets of bunk beds for kids, cousins, or extra guests. A full bathroom sits near the guest bedrooms, and with no stairs anywhere in the house, everyone settles in easily.
♨️ Unwind
The backyard is our favorite part of the property. Soak in the hot tub beneath the trees, take your morning coffee on the elevated deck, or gather around the fire pit and Adirondack chairs as the evening settles in. There is a fire pit grill for cookouts and a wide lawn for games, and a large outdoor shower for rinsing off after a day at the beach. The yard is fully fenced.
🍷 Explore
Colonial Beach is one of Virginia’s more unusual waterfront towns, relaxed and built around golf carts. A rental company is a short walk from the house, so you can reach the beach, restaurants, breweries, shops, the boardwalk, and the town pier without moving your car. The George Washington Birthplace National Monument, Stratford Hall, and the James Monroe Birthplace are all nearby, and fishing and boating are close at hand.
Guest Access:
Guests enjoy access to the full property, including the fenced backyard, deck, hot tub, and outdoor shower, excluding a locked storage shed and owner’s closets. Self check-in with a unique door code means you can arrive on your own schedule.
The Neighborhood:
Coastal Grace sits in a residential neighborhood in Colonial Beach, a waterfront town on the Potomac known for its public beaches, fishing, boating, restaurants, breweries, and seasonal events. The town is built around golf carts, and a rental company is a short walk from the house. We ask guests to be considerate of neighbors, especially outdoors in the evening.
Getting Around:
Most guests get around by golf cart. A rental company is a short walk from the house, and from there the beach, boardwalk, town pier, restaurants, and shops are all reachable without moving your car. The town is walkable too. The driveway holds two vehicles with room for two golf carts beside them, street parking is very limited, and an EV charger with NACS and J1772 connectors is available for guest use.
