Beachfront holiday rentals in Colchester

It had everything I needed and I thoroughly enjoyed my stay. Anne Marie even had a fire going in the fireplace for my arrival. Even though this spot would be ideal in the summer because it's right on the lake, I found it to be very beautiful and comfortable in the dead of winter. It was plenty warm, and easy to get in and out. I couldn't be happier with both the home and the host.

Beautiful lake house! Beachfront area was wonderful for all water activities. Easy access to the Champlain Islands which had tons of fall activities going on. House is loaded with everything you need for cooking and clean up.

This place is so wonderful! Everything is provided for your comfort. Rayna was great in communicating an issue about one of the toilet is not working and offered a full refund if that would be a problem, which it was not at all. The location is great. Easy access to the lake for swimming or kayaking (kayak/canoe is available for use). It has a nice patio for sitting while enjoying the sunset view. This makes it to the list of favorite places to stay.

Gorgeous place. The cabin is a real treasure in nature. A very cozy place, also very clean and had everything we needed. The road to get there is also very easy. Scot is also very responsive and of great help. Looking forward to be back.

We had two perfect spring days. The cottage was a perfect place for us to explore from.

Sarah’s place is warm and cozy, even when it’s bitter cold outside. A beautiful location next to a lovely creek. Easy to get to and located right in town with some good amenities and restaurants.

Very nice place. Well setup and stocked. Very comfortable house and bedrooms. The host had clear instructions and was very responsive communications. Location is really great with the lake right across from it. Summers would be very pleasant here.

Great place to stay right outside of Burlington. (Visiting my daughter at UVM) Easy to get to and plenty around to do. The scenery was amazing- took some beautiful pics of the sunrise and sunset! Kitchen had everything you need to cook a nice meal. Beds were comfortable too! Would stay here again!!

Ana's cottage was a perfect place to get away for a weekend. I had a destination wedding and when I told people the price and the fact they provided a canoe and kayaks because it was located on the water there were in shock because their hotel room was double the price. Definitely would stay there again if I ever travel that way.

This was our second time staying at Darcy's place, and we came back for a reason! Excellent location, far away enough to feel private, but still close enough to a lot of different towns and things to do. The cabin is cozy, clean, and well equipped for a lakeside getaway. As the listing mentions, this cabin is not insulated so it can get chilly. We were there on a pretty chilly fall week (40s and rainy), and found that the electric heaters and extra blankets worked just fine to keep us toasty. Just bring some extra layers to wear while they get running. The outside patio and firepit area were gorgeous, though we didn't get to take advantage due to the rain-- something to look forward to for the next stay!

Beautiful lakeside location. Large TV, cozy couch and fireplace. WiFi speeds sufficient to work remotely. Large kitchen with the essentials, good fridge/freezer, good stove/oven, but no dishwasher. There are neighbors along the lake but it is very quiet and serene. Josie was responsive to questions. Would stay again.

Gabriel was the most responsive host I've encountered. Helpful and kind, he provided clear instructions and availed himself for the duration of the stay. My family was so pleased with the location. The pictures are a great representation and the whole place was clean, neat, and tidy. Many thanks!

our family of 4 with younger and older kiddos stayed for a week at David's place and had a wonderful time. the cabin is perfect, well appointed (kitchen had everything we needed and all the spices which is so great!), close to large grocery stores and other conveniences, and oh so cozy which made it feel almost magical. the cabin was quite warm and very well insulated. we would definitely return!

Charles was a very good host. The cleaning crew did not show up, but we were notified in advance and it was cleaned personally by his son. The vacuum didn’t work so the floors weren’t clean, but other than that it was a great stay! This location is so charming and is close enough to Burlington to go over for the day/night to explore!

Lovely home and would 100% visit again. The porch sitting over Lake Champlain is one of a kind - we saw many of the surrounding properties from the water during our time in Essex and I don’t think there’s another porch in town with that type of water view - can’t beat it! We spent 10 days in late August with our 3 yr old daughter and some grandparents in/out over the course of the visit. The home was perfect for our getaway. The hosts, Lisa and John were flexible and welcoming. The space had everything we needed for our stay - kitchen was great and we cooked many meals at home. The open kitchen/dining/living floor plan is perfect for spending time together and so cozy… all alongside an unbeatable view.

James is a wonderful and knowledgable host who is willing to do whatever is needed to improve guest experience. He was incredibly responsive to any questions or requests and was very courteous and friendly. As other guests have mentioned, he offered to go out and pick up some food for me when I first arrived. I was fortunate to have a few conversations with James about Essex and the history of his AirBnB during my stay, and I really appreciated how informative and kind he is to guests.

Thank you, Palmer for an enjoyable stay at your beautiful lake house. We came up for a college tour of UVM and the location was perfect. It took us only 20 minutes to get there and then at the end of our day we came back to relax and unwind at your comfy and spotless home. Every room was beautifully furnished , comfortable and really just felt homey. The kids enjoyed hanging out downstairs watching movies while the adults enjoyed cocktails and talking all while taking in the amazing view of the lake. We had a wonderful time and would certainly return. Only two minor issues, one of which just might have been our own unfamiliarity with the home. The living room gets really warm and even though we turned down the thermostat, it kept creeping up. But it could have even been the fact that it was so sunny one of the days we were there. A minor issue. Outside, the railing to get down from the deck to the yard is a bit wobbly in places and may be due to be replaced soon. Also, no big deal.

On our last day we saw a spectacular sunset which was indicative of our whole stay. The star was of course the wonderful setting on the lake. It was enhanced by how tastefully the house was renovated, decorated and fully supplied with everything we needed. It truely exceeded our expectations and made for a memorable experience in the beautiful state of Vermont.

We absolutely LOVED our stay at this beautiful property! We visited over the Easter Holiday and opted to stay in and cook instead of going out,just to enjoy the beautiful home over looking Lake Champlain! We attended Mass at St. Ann's in Milton, a very welcoming, beautiful church. The hot tub on the third floor balcony was amazing!! The master bedroom had huge walk in closets to stay organized during our trip. It is peaceful, relaxing home! A nice area to take a walk or ride a bike. This is a very clean, well equipped property. The host was very responsive and friendly! Milton has a very nice locally owned grocery store, Georgia Market, everything you could need was available at this family owned store, it felt great to support the local economy! We will definitely be back! Thank you Errin!

We had the most wholesome weekend at this Airbnb. The cabin was so cozy and relaxing. It has a beautiful view of the river, which was so relaxing to listen to. The sauna and the fire pit was such a perfect way to relax even more!! The location is perfect for hiking or going skiing at whiteface mountain! We are looking forward to coming back here in the future because we truly loved it!

Place is clean and modern. View is amazing. Bruce and Virginia are great to work with. Only drawback is the close proximity of the road. Not comparing value to only Vermont so possibly unfair but when compared to other places in the US as well as multiple other countries it could be a better value. We enjoyed our stay.

We rented Lucus' home in Grand Isle for 4 days during school vacation week. 2 adults and 5 kids and everyone had a blast! There was something for everyone to do. The views of lake Champlain are amazing and the sunrise each morning was a major highlight for both adults and kids. Lucas offered some great local recommendations for food and things to do. I can't recommend this Airbnb enough, it was so memorable and exceeded our expectations. We will definitely consider staying here again when we are back in the area.

Modern, comfortable, newly built house right on the bay. We really enjoyed the balconies and the lovely view out the back. Owner was very communicative.

Stunning yard. I live a few miles away, northern north hero and I love this little strip of land and the ‘farm cottage’ feel of the house. I had a group up celebrating our 50th reunion from high school. They stayed at the place and also loved it. We would love to rent it again
