TINY HOUSE BOATS

Soon you will be able to rent one of our tiny houseboats so you can stay docked with us even without a boat of your own!

Coming Soon: Tiny Houseboat Rentals at Ice House Marina, Colonial Beach

Imagine waking up to the gentle sway of the river, sipping your morning coffee on a private deck, and watching the sun set over the Potomac—all without owning a boat. Soon, that dream will become a reality at Ice House Marina in Colonial Beach, Virginia, as we prepare to launch our brand-new Tiny Houseboat Rentals.

​

Stay on the Water—No Boat Required

Our tiny houseboats are designed for comfort, charm, and adventure. They offer all the essentials of a cozy getaway with the added magic of being right on the river. Whether you’re planning a romantic escape, a family adventure, or a solo retreat, these floating rentals provide an unforgettable stay in Colonial Beach.

​

What to Expect:

  • Comfortable Sleeping Quarters – A cozy bed with river views.

  • Compact Living Space – A lounge area perfect for reading, relaxing, or playing cards.

  • Showers and Bathroom onsite

  • Private Deck – Ideal for morning coffee, sunset drinks, or stargazing.

 

Why Choose a Tiny Houseboat Stay?

Staying in a tiny houseboat combines the best of vacation lodging and boating life—without the need to own or operate a vessel. Here’s why it’s special:

  • Unique Experience – Step away from ordinary hotels and experience life on the water.

  • Perfect Location – Docked at Ice House Marina, you’re steps from beaches, shops, and the charm of Colonial Beach.

  • Waterfront Dining Nearby – Enjoy fresh food and craft beer just a short stroll away at Ice House Brewery & Café.

  • Adventure Meets Relaxation – Spend the day exploring town, then come home to the calm rhythm of the river.

 

Explore Colonial Beach from Your Floating Retreat

Colonial Beach offers a mix of history, recreation, and small-town charm:

  • Stroll along one of the longest public beaches in Virginia.

  • Visit George Washington’s Birthplace or local museums.

  • Browse boutique shops, art galleries, and antique stores.

  • Enjoy bike- and golf-cart-friendly streets.

  • Take part in seasonal festivals, live music, and waterfront events.

Your houseboat stay puts you in the heart of it all—close enough to explore, yet peaceful enough to retreat into your own private getaway.
