House vacation rentals in Portsmouth

This place was perfect! Matthew was a great host, responses are very fast and he is very accountable. The house was perfect, looked exactly like the pictures! Highly recommend staying here, you're in the heart of VA beach and a 5 min walk to the boardwalk and ocean front with tons of food, shops, and things to do.

We had a wonderful stay here! Everything was exactly as described. Eugene was really responsive when communicating and super friendly! I would highly recommend staying here if you get the chance. Thank you again for such a relaxing place to stay!

We really enjoyed our stay at Blue Octopus! It was a very nice layout with a family. Loved the connecting bedrooms upstairs, and even a baby gate for the stairs and top locks on the doors to the outside. We loved how easy it was to swim and go to the beach here! We went to Mudita for coffee in the morning which was wonderful. Would love to come back for a longer stay! Willoughby beach was quiet and away from crowds.

I can't say enough positive things about Alice and her home. She was incredibly welcoming, and made my entire weekend a delight. Her home is beautiful, and it was a very comfortable stay. But Alice's kindness and generosity really went above and beyond. Thank you again!

My family and I absolutely love our "Home away from home." This was our 2nd year enjoying all of the elegance and fun your home has to offer. Giovanni and family are the best host's that we have ever had. Communication is so important, and any time I reached out, I was quickly responded to. We got into town a little early, and they were very accommodating when they didn't have to be. The home is immaculate and warm and we didn't have to leave to be entertained. Visiting my son, who is active duty military is even more amazing when you have such a beautiful home with plenty of family things to do right at your fingertips. The neighborhood is peaceful and we felt safe and secure in our own private oasis! Thanks so much for making our stay just as amazing as the 1st time. Looking forward to our next trip!!

The house was super clean when we got there, the temperature of the house was great the entire stay. The pool was certainly clean, but since we went early, June the water was a little bit cold, but it felt really nice and refreshing honestly. There were three beach chairs and a wagon there that were helpful for traveling to the beach. There were available cups plate, utensils, and all the necessities that you would need, they even had shampoo and conditioner bottles there for us. We weren’t aware that there was a code to get into the house so instructions for check-in were a little bit unclear, but all I had to do is message and they responded. Overall, I would recommend staying here because even though the area surrounding isn’t the nicest, I felt safe the entire time at that house!

Great location and host. The home was the perfect size for my family and friends.

Mark is a great host. The house is immaculate. Every little detail is perfect. By far the nicest AirBNB I have ever rented. Mark made sure everything was perfect for our visit with our son in the Navy.

Monica was an amazing host! She was very responsive , gave clear and very helpful instructions! Her home was super clean and cozy, felt like a home away from home! My family and I would book again!

I found the home clean comfortable extremely close to actives I was in town for would certainly stay again if I find myself in the area

Great hosts! Very receptive and quick to respond to any questions. House was very clean. Beach Chairs were available to walk across road for easy, not crowded beach access!

My family and I enjoyed our stay! There were 4 of us but it was very comfortable and didn't feel overcrowded. It's not a big house but everything is placed well and so thought out! It was also very clean which we appreciated. Would definitely recommend!

The property was exactly as described and Thomas was extremely responsive and very helpful. It was the perfect situation for our family’s celebration.

We were in town for a surprise 50th birthday party. This was just the beginning of a weekend of memories with my sister'friends! The Broadway was an absolute wonderful surprise. The pictures online do not do it justice for this cute and quant townhouse. Decorations fit the broadway theme. If ever back in Portsmouth we would easily stay here again.

Mr Gabriel’s home exceeded our expectations! He was very detailed with his check in instructions and lets you know where everything is upfront. Communication was great, he checked in daily to make sure everything was okay and if we needed anything. This place is very comfy and feels like home. It’s more spacious than what the photos show, especially the bedrooms. Bedroom #1 has a large walk-in closet along with an en-suite bathroom. Both bathrooms have standing showers and fully stocked with toiletries. Bedrooms #2 and #3 are spacious with a nice size closet space. Description doesn’t mention about a 4th bedroom but it was locked and off limits. Plenty of towels and washcloths were available in the hallway closet. Fenced in backyard for children to play outside. Kitchen has a dishwasher, a full size washer and dryer, Keurig machine, toaster over, air fryer and all utensils we needed to make our meals. Very quiet and peaceful neighborhood. God willing, I’ll rebook this for future trips.

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 A Hidden Gem – Even Better in Person! I almost don’t want to write this review because I want to keep this place a secret! From the moment I arrived, I was blown away. The space is even more beautiful, spacious, and thoughtfully designed than I expected. Every detail—from the decor to the cleanliness to the cozy atmosphere—was clearly done with care. The lighting, the views, and the overall vibe were all so much better than I imagined. It felt like a modern hotel but with all the comfort and warmth of home. The host was incredibly responsive and welcoming, which made everything even smoother. If you’re on the fence, trust me—this place will exceed your expectations. I’ll definitely be back!

Hearts Blossom by the Sea was absolutely adorable and very clean. The space provided everything we needed. Our hosts were kind and attentive, and the walking distance from Hearts Blossom to the beach is truly amazing. We didn't want to leave!

The place was beautiful inside and out. My family and I felt like we’re at home. I love the outdoor space. Most of the times, my parents and I chilled outside enjoying the weather and chitchatting with each other. My family and I came down from Pennsylvania to visit my sisters who live about 10-15 mins away from the home. My family and I had a great time during our weekend stay. Hopefully one day we’ll come back and stay at this beautiful home again. I highly recommend this beautiful home. Definitely 5 stars :)

This was our second stay at this Airbnb and we were incredibly glad we decided to book again! The place is exactly as described, has all the beach supplies so you don’t need to pack it all, is just a quick walk to beach (awesome with kids), and the view can’t be beat. Heidi was an extremely responsive host who went above and beyond to make sure our stay was fantastic - you can tell her priority is the guest! My family of 5 plus a grandma enjoyed lazy mornings on the patio, taking in stunning sunsets over dinner, and long days on the beach (bathroom breaks back at the house are a snap due to the close proximity). The outdoor shower with warm water is especially helpful with kids! We will be back at least twice this upcoming year. Thanks for another great stay!

He was so kind and helpful!!!! Ready to book again!!!!

Home is very clean, comfortable & beautifully decorated. Surprisingly it is equipped with extras like paper towels, toilet paper, trash bags, detergent, coffee & water. The Host goes the extra mile they have made this a beautiful home away from home! I highly recommend this property, you won’t regret it.

We had a two night stay at this beautiful house. Everything was nice and clean. We loved sitting on the deck, overlooking the river. It was a perfect place to drink our morning coffee!

One of the best and a really great place We loved our stay and Kiana was really very responsive and very helpful

The house was spotless, cozy, and exactly what we needed for a relaxing stay. We felt right at home and truly enjoyed every moment. We’d definitely love to return!
