Vacation rentals with a kayak in Portsmouth

The property is spectacular. Everything about the accommodations was excellent. Not one complaint. Just praise. The host was very friendly and helpful. So were the neighbors!

We absolutely loved the house and all of the decor! There was no need to leave the house if we didn't want to due to the movies, records, stereo system, arcade machine and hot tub! But, my personal favorite was the kitchen! We will definitely be going back and staying at Adam's!! Side Note: The Legos are AMAZING!

Our family enjoyed our weekend at Big Blue. It was special because it was my wife's birthday and there was plenty of family with us. We really liked how the 2nd and 3rd floor are duplicates of each other. It's like 2 different apartments , but we had access to both. The kids on the 2nd floor and the adults on the 3rd. Very clean open spaces. The host were responsive and proactive. We hope to make the Willoughby Spit area a regular vacation spot, very lovely.

Dan and Sam were very friendly, responsive hosts. The house and setting were beautiful and perfect for a family. The toys and books in the kids' room were a huge hit, and we all enjoyed the ample outdoor seating and very comfy beds. The ferry was super convenient and fun to watch, without actually hearing any traffic. And we saw so many osprey and bald eagles from the porch! I was charged with finding a rental for 6 adults and 3 kids, and each adult (and my kids) told me that this home was a gem! I'm so grateful to Dan and Sam for sharing their home with our family!

Nate was very responsive from booking , all the way through our stay. He was very flexible due to our circumstances and juggling vacation with 2 young children and 2 labradors. I would recommend this home to anyone with a family or pets as it offers the interior space that cape Charles historic homes lack while maintaining the same proximity to the town’s attractions.

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

Absolutely loved this house! Perfect place whine working. Loved sting on the deck out back. Bonnie was wonderful person to communicate with. Would stay again! Thank you

Deena’s place was actually better than pictured. Such great decor—we loved the colors and the owls. Everything was set up perfectly, very comfortable and relaxing. Terrific to be right next to the ferry, as we spent most of our time exploring Jamestown, Yorktown. TV, wifi worked well. Having kayaks especially nice. Deena was extremely communicative and informative and a all around great host!

This place was just amazing. The views of James River, and even the Jamestown settlement across the river (using binoculars) was just mind-blowing! Kevin and Jamie left a wide variety of amenities that were extremely thoughtful and useful, to include hygiene products, charging cords (which was a life saver because for literally the first time ever, I forgot my phone and iPad cords), coffee, and even a margarita kit! The cottage is so cozy, and was very clean. I’m definitely going to book here again.

good location and a nice place for a getaway from the city

This was our second year staying in one of John's places in Oceanview Norfolk. Last year was great but we enjoyed this year even more. This place had more room for our family of 5! It was beautiful inside and out. Very quite and too yourself. But John is usually right there if ya need him or have any questions. We will definitely be back next year. And I'd recommend this place to Any and Everyone looking for a wonderful place too stay! Thanks for sharing your property with us as Always!

This place was the most charming airbnb I have ever stayed in. Badria and Jay made every detail of our stay perfect with all of their extra touches, including saltwater taffy and a box of croissants, slippers and a lavender mask, and a fully stocked coffee station with syrups. We instantly felt at home and in vacation mode at their place and literally laid out on the dock the entire time. A perfect spot for kayaking, laying out in the sun, and I even brought out my mat and did some yoga on the dock. The views were unreal. The couch was so comfortable I accidentally fell asleep there the whole night and woke up to the gorgeous window views. Amazing hosts and location!

everything was awesome hope to be back soon.

Deena was extremely helpful from the start. I was looking between 2 properties however since Deena was the first person to email me information of the area the history on the home and ideas for things to do for the kids I booked with her. When we got to the cottage we easily checked in had a ton of amenities and the cottage was clean spotless clean. We really enjoyed our stay with Deena and we look forward to another a stay at her cottage.
