Williamsburg Vacation Villages 4BR, 4BA
We booked Vacation Village 4br timeshare through Andy but it was full. Andy was able to leverage his connections and find us a 3br HOUSE at Kings Creek Plantation through Spinnaker which was better, I think! We had a full 3br/4bath house to ourselves with three porches in a peaceful setting. Absolutely recommend Kings Creek Plantation through Andy. Close to everything and amazing setting. So quiet and pencil. We will be back!

Boardwalk Resort & Villas - 1BR/1BA - Oceanfront!
We stayed a week at Kerri’s place in Virginia. She went above and beyond our expectations, very communicative and organized. She offered a ton of information and insights before and during our stay. Her place offers a delightful and relaxing getaway experience. The resort's picturesque location by the ocean provides stunning views and a serene atmosphere. The rooms are spacious, well-appointed, and comfortable, ensuring a pleasant stay. The resort amenities such as the pool, spa, and on-site restaurants add to the overall wonderful experience. The staff is friendly, accommodating, and dedicated to providing top-notch service to guests. Whether you're looking to relax by the beach or explore the nearby attractions, Boardwalk Resort is a fantastic choice for a vacation in Virginia. I would definitely recommend and revisit Kerri’s place.

Powhatan Resort - 2 bdrm timeshare property
We had such a great experience. Everything was clean, amenities were substantial. I would highly recommend this place.

Great family vacation resort condo. Sleeps 12.
Christian was a pleasure to work with and very helpful. The property was prefect for our stay. There was plenty of room to gather together while also allowing privacy.

Marriott's Manor Club Ford's Colony 2BD Villa Slee
The villa was the perfect place for our family to stay for graduation weekend at William and Mary. Plenty of space and very comfortable. Setting was lovely and great for walks in our down time. The only issue we had was the villa was not ready at the designated check in time and we had to wait an hour before we could get in.

Greensprings Resort 2 bdrm
The location was very convenient, having easy access to Amusement Parks (Water Country/ Busch Gardens) and shopping ). The property itself was very roomy and comfortable. The host provided all of the Linen and kitchen equipment that was needed. The balcony and hot tub were the icing on the cake.

Quiet family location and close to BEACH!
I can’t begin to describe our recent visit!! We stayed from Sunday 6-1 to Thursday 6-5. My husband and I had our 10 year old daughter and 3 of her best friends along w our 3 small furry babies. The house is “nestled” on a sweet friendly street. The house lake view SURROUNDS the house along with the outside balcony. It was beautiful to see the ducks and various birds every day. The house was extremely clean! I didn’t have to do any cleaning before we unpacked. The garage had everything!!! Bikes, beach stuff along w anything u can think of. There was plenty of outside sitting areas with a private outside shower. I used it!! Water was nice! The beach was literally a 10 mins walk! We rode the bikes and walked to the beach, a couple of times a day. The boardwalk is very dog friendly so we were able to bring them. The pier from the boardwalk has people fishing. I rode 1 of the bikes around the every day! W have been using Airbnb for years and this was the best experience! Bob is the best ❤️

Westgate Historic Williamsburg One Bedroom
We had a great stay at Eddie's place! Very close to restaurants, Colonial Williamsburg, and Busch Gardens. The unit we stayed in was spotless and had all of the amenities that we needed during our stay. Highly recommended!

2 BR Family & Pet Friendly House - Williamsburg
Highest compliments to a wonderful host and lovely Airbnb! Very responsive and flexible with our booking since we had last minute date changes due to our daughter delivering her baby 3 weeks earlier than expected! Charlene went out of her way to help us and always very responsive with any questions. The house was perfect, 10 min from Colonial Williamsburg and across the street from New Town shopping plaza, so convenient! Clean and inviting, wonderful large fenced in yard. We were happy we found this place!

The Happy Place-Quiet, North End 1 block to ocean!
Our stay was fantastic! The location couldn't be better, just a stone's throw from the beach. The property itself was clean and well-stocked with everything we needed. Mary was prompt and helpful in addressing the one minor issue that came up. We highly recommend this spot for a worry-free beach getaway!

Beachside Retreat for 4 – Walk to Buckroe Beach
It's great when reality meets expectations - and the posting for this place was exactly that. In addition, Lynn was quick and responsive to our questions - which was a great help in moving in. The past month in this setting was just what we needed!

POOL, Pool House, Hot Tub, Grill, 2 bedroom
This was perfect for my family of four and dog. We stayed two nights and would have loved to been able to stay longer. Ron was an excellent host. This felt like a private spa trip with the massive pool, hot tub, dry sauna, and steam room. We are local to the area and would definitely stay again!

Historic Capitol Landing 3BR/2Ba home
This house and property is really special. It is a beautifully maintained and renovated old house, and has great views of the woods and the creek. We enjoyed evenings on the beautiful porch taking in the views. The house itself was well appointed and clean, with minimal/essential furnishings. A few other reviews did mention the noise from the highway and it is true—though it did not disturb us except for in the night, when an occasional loud truck might pass. It was a great base for my family and two small dogs to explore the local sights. Would definitely consider staying here again.

Beach Home, Upscale Croatan Resort + Private Pool
Such a wonderful place!! Beverly was more than accommodating and was very responsive to all of our questions🙌🏽 we would love to stay here again in the future
Family-friendly home rentals with a pool

Family Retreat, In-Ground Pool, plus Private Beach
This house and stay were exactly what we needed! We are a quiet family that loves peaceful spaces. The home was beautiful, well maintained, clean, updated, and extremely well appointed. Access to both the beach and lake was easy, as was getting into and out of town. Jack proactively reached out to us when we got there to ensure everything was in order and offered assistance if we needed anything. We didn’t need anything during the week but we felt good knowing he was available. We met some of the neighbors in passing and they were friendly and welcoming, too. Wonderful experience!

Breathtaking Ocean views at Pinch Me, 8bdrm, 6bath
This location could not have been more perfect for our family….. out the door, across the street, down the short boardwalk and you are at the beach. It was so comfortably convenient. The house is amazing: everyone had their space, super clean, easy to prepare meals… 2 dishwashers and 2 ovens, attractively decorated, ping pong/pool table, foos ball table and a beautiful pool area. We had a plumbing issue in two of the bathrooms, but Tanya called someone over and the situation was remedied in an hour. We would love to stay there again.

VA Beach Oceanfront King 1-bedroom week (Fri-Fri)
Perfect location, just steps away from the beach. Amazing views! Absolutely loved our stay here! Before we left to come home the kids were asking to return! Definitely will be booking again, not only this listing, but with Reggie as well!

BIG 2 bedroom in Town Center, close to everything!
The house was beautiful it's perfect Very quiet neighborhood!! National always respond less than 20 minutes

7+ Bdrm, 5.5 Bath Pool/Hot Tub Sandbridge Beach VA
Beautiful Home located in a beautiful location. With the pool, hot tub, and beach access we had everything we needed right at the property. Plenty of space for all the adults and kids/teens! The kids had their own hangout spot downstairs. This is the perfect place to get up in the morning. Have coffee on the deck make your own breakfast. Take a walk on the beach and hang out at the pool. Grill out in the evening and do more relaxing on the deck. That’s our thing and it was the perfect place to do it. And it’s a quiet area. Very relaxing - chillaxin’. Any shopping is very convenient and close by. Corrine was very responsive to any questions or any issues that came up. Keep in mind if something is not right you need to message her and she will make it right. We loved our stay and would stay again!

The Seahorse at Sandbridge - Baby Horses!
Big, roomy house on a beautiful horse farm. We loved seeing the horses in the backyard and front yard while we were in the house. The host allowed our large group to come over to the barn to meet the horses and ponies. The house is in such a private spot but still close to the beach and all types of restaurants, stores, and entertainment. There were plenty of beds, bathrooms, seating for eating. The hot water was fast and plentiful. We cooked a lot and there were TONS of pots, pans, dishes, silverware, small appliances, etc. We enjoyed the fireplace, hot tub, sauna, foosball, pool table. It was a perfect spot for our extended family to gather for a long weekend.

The Historic Powhatan Resort - TS Upstairs
This townhouse is located inside the Hilton Powhattan resort, benefitting from the facilities of a popular holiday destination, swimming pool, walking routes and exceptional public amenities. The accomodation was spacious (2 en-suite bedrooms) kitchen and washing / drying facilities. We spent a lot of time on the balcony with coffee and star gazing in the clear nights. The place had been cleaned well before arrival, the pre check in comms were great and the wifi worked. For international guests, this is not served well by public transport , but an Uber is usually available within 10-15 minutes. It’s about 15 minutes to the university and 45 minutes to the airport. Overall, a memorable stay in a beautiful environment. Really glad we chose this!

King's Creek Plantation: 2-BR, 2.5 Baths, Sleeps 6
