The Pearl

One of the most beloved vacation homes in Colonial Beach has been fully updated and is available to host guests again. The Pearl, previously known as Potomac View, was purchased in the winter of 2025 by the Robbins family. We carefully modernized the home for comfort, while preserving its historical charm. With new owners, the online reviews reset, but averaged 4.95 stars over the last 5 years and 170 reviews. Highlights: - Expansive wraparound porch with direct waterfront views of the Potomac River. This provides a scenic and relaxing space for guests to enjoy sunsets, sunrises, coffee, meals or evening drinks. - Guests can enjoy the unique character of a 150-year-old home without sacrificing modern comforts. 2025 updates included new appliances, HVAC, dining table, furniture, kitchen flooring, lighting, cookware, coffee station and kids nook. In addition, an interior wall was removed to create an open kitchen/living area with views of the river through a new sliding glass door. - Prime walkable location just 3-4 blocks from the beach. Guests can easily explore the town, enjoy the beach, and access shops and restaurants without needing to drive. - A well-stocked kitchen with induction range, convection oven, air fryer in oven, Cuisinart Multi-Clad Pro pots and pans, ice maker, Ninja blender, toaster, Nespresso, Keurig, tea kettle, water filter, garbage disposal, wine fridge, dishwasher and Chicago cutlery. - Family and dog friendly. We love both! Please only bring well-behaved potty trained dogs as the floor coverings are original heart of pine hardwoods, carpet and oriental rugs.
