Lovely home, no steps at all, quiet neighborhood
This home is lovely. Nice high-ceilings and nautical theme. Everything worked as it should and no problems whatsoever. Comfy bed. Lots of linens and things in case you need extra. Well-stocked kitchen and bath. The house and yard are very private. Would be a great place just to stay and relax and "get away." Neighborhood is quiet, friendly. We brought our dog and many people had dogs as well. Loved the one-story and no steps for us.

Warm home & decorated for the holidays!
We came into town to celebrate our grandsons birthdays and Christmas. We hosted our family for Christmas Eve dinner. Our hosts were very accommodating providing a table and table cloth. We couldn’t have had a more enjoyable time. We would highly recommend this home.

Adorable, spotless place in a great location
We felt right at home the moment we walked in the front door. The home is spotless and beautifully decorated, and has everything you can think of for an enjoyable stay. The kitchen was well stocked, complete with coffee/tea bar and fixings. The basket of nutritious snacks was a nice touch, which we enjoyed. The bed was very comfortable, with high quality linens and towels, and high end toiletries provided in the bathroom. Our pup loved it there too. We particularly enjoyed the enclosed front patio, where we caught some rays and watched the jets fly over, and our boy nibbled on his many toys. One morning we took a walk through Salt Marsh Park, and made our way down to the Rudee Inlet restaurants for delicious fresh seafood, just about a 30 minute walk. We would definitely book this lovely home again, and we are passing the info along to our pet parent friends. Thanks again, John & Rachel!

Wonderful getaway
We loved this comfortably furnished, relaxing home so much. We were in town due to a family illness and coming back to this impeccably clean, well stocked home was a true gift. The “little touches” make such a difference in the comfort of a vacation experience. A platter of yummy snacks, cold water bottles in the fridge, Keurig pods, sugar, 1/2 and 1/2. A perfect rental property close to everything.

The home was as described in the listing. Very well equipped. You only need to bring your clothes. Only a 5 min drive to beach. We had our dog with us and walked on the beach boardwalk. It was beautiful. The home is close to restaurants. I would definitely recommend for your vacation.

Great Place to Stay with Dogs!
We really enjoyed staying here! It was just a couple blocks from a really nice park that has walking trails and a dog park. I really like that the living room is large enough to accommodate two dog crates easily. The owners provide a lot of little necessities, like toiletry items. The unit was super clean and nicely decorated. And the couch is quite possibly the most comfortable couch ever! Overall, I highly recommend this rental!

Perfect Getaway
My now-fiancé and I stayed here for a weekend getaway, and it was perfect! We were less than 10 minutes away from the beach and pretty much anywhere we wanted to go, the property was much more spacious than we realized, and the house was so clean! We really loved being able to use the beach chairs/cooler/umbrella, that made our stay so much more convenient. It was so lovely to cook together and eat outside in the fenced-in front yard, and the house was so cozy and comfortable. We will DEFINITELY be staying here again if we come back to VA Beach!

Wonderful rental!
We traveled with our dogs and loved the fenced-in back and front yards! This property was extremely clean and well-stocked!! We lived in the Norfolk/Va. Beach area for over 40 years and knew about the jet noise. I would suggest that you may want to make renters aware of this because it can be rather loud. Other than that, we enjoyed out stay and would rent again!!

Lovely and quaint home
This was a wonderful place to stay for a quick trip away to the beach as a young married couple! It was beautiful and well stocked with everything you could need. We were very comfortable during our stay and beach supplies were provided. It was close to the beach, but far enough away to be quiet. Highly recommend if you are looking for a place to stay!
