Tiki Time at River Point Cottage - Steps to the Beach, Dog Friendly

It is a sunny day at Cantina Marina - you’ve just ordered a margarita while the boats putter by. Life doesn’t get better than this, does it? But it does - because you can enjoy all the river and cantina vibes down at Colonial Beach.

Just a quick drive from the DMV, RVA & Fredericksburg - you’ll love the Playground on the Potomac. Two blocks from both the river and the bay, the River Point Cottage is the perfect getaway to dip your toes in the sand, golf cart around the Point, and get some sun.

Welcome to the River Point Cottage! The Cottage welcomes you and yours with three bedrooms and two full bathrooms all on one floor. The first two rooms, with queen beds and bright light, are nestled off the living room with a shared full bath (and tub). The primary bedroom is positioned off the back of the house off the dining space. The primary is a spacious room with a king bed and en suite walk-in shower. For those of you traveling with babies, we have several items to help with packing your car: Booster Chair for dining room table, Pack'n'Play (2nd bedroom closet) as well as an assortment of kid plates & cutlery.

The cottage first welcomes you into a spacious, light-filled living room. Open up the windows to get a coastal breeze and catch the sunshine. Cozy seating, record player, board games - pull up a chair and relax. In the cooler times, turn on the fire to warm up the space.

Looking to cook or bake? The fully stocked kitchen opens up to a breakfast bar (4 bar stools) and a dining space (seats 6) where you can host a breakfast or dinner with friends and family. Make sure to use the KitchenAid mixer for those family recipes. All the tools and kitchen gadgets wait for your culinary inspiration!

Strong Wi-Fi throughout to work remotely. Take a spot at the kitchen table to take your calls before or after the beach. Check out the CoBe Workspace on Hawthorn to channel into the work day if you need to have a focused morning.

Out front, you'll find patio chairs to sit back and relax while the fans whirl above. Catch the sunset shades over the Monroe Bay - or walk down two blocks to see it in all its splendor. Off the kitchen, relax on the back screened in porch around the table. Enjoy outdoor dining next to the grill
for the true vacation feels.

*FUN IN THE SUN AMENITIES*

Beach Extras - For Your Use: 1 beach wagon, 8 beach towels, 6 beach chairs (adult), 4 umbrellas, YETI Hopper Flip cooler, random assortment of beach toys (sandcastle, water squirters, etc.)

Rainy & Sunny Day Fun: Lots of board games for all ranges of ages (Uno, Cards, Utter Nonsense, Code Names, puzzles), mini library of books, Vinyl, Twister Water Pad & Slip'n'Slide (outside), Corn Hole, Bocce

*PLAYGROUND ON THE POTOMAC*

Welcome to the Playground on the Potomac! The old stomping grounds of the DMV from the 1900s, you will love Colonial Beach, its charm, and how quickly you'll feel at home here. The Cottage is located in the Point - a few blocks shy of "downtown" and the boardwalk. All the charm of small town dining and shopping with access to the river, sun, and history.

History buffs - you're in luck. Just around the corner, you'll find the home of President James Monroe's birthplace - Monroe Hall. A few more turns, you will find the birthplace of President George Washington. If pirates are more your thing, pick up one of the books in the Cottage about the Pirates of the Chesapeake and the Oyster Wars.

It's your time - you've earned it. Take a load off and relax at the River Point Cottage. You'll come to find that the beach time is just want you need to unwind and recharge. Colonial Beach is waiting for you - whether you're coming down from DC (1.5 hours), Richmond (1 hour, 20 minutes) to escape busy city life, come down for Tiki Time at the Point.

We have stayed in many vacation rentals, and this one stands out among the best. Everything was seamless in the rental itself, as well as exactly as described. It is a well-stocked house with everything you need. It even has a pretty impressive coffee station! Check out was easy and it was in a great location. Highly recommend!

Tiki Time is a beautiful house in a lovely, quiet neighborhood, but really close to great restaurants and the river. Great base to explore the area. The inside is open, light and airy with so many thoughtful details for guests such as beach towels in a basket by the door, a beach cart already loaded with beach chairs, and a wonderful dedicated area for coffee making!It’s beautifully decorated and we felt at home immediately. It was great for three girlfriends on our yearly adventure but would also be great for a family, with a fenced in backyard and games to play. Loved it, can’t wait to go back!

Annual trip to colonial beach

One of our favorite places that we have booked in CB. Especially loved beach wagon! Backyard was perfect for a toddler. Water splash pad a huge hit. House has everything! Would love to return.
