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.
