Beach Cottage - On Beach with Wrap Around Porch
We loved staying here! The location was great and it was roomy. Super close to the beach, great outdoor amenities, and a nice porch. Host was quick to respond. We pretty much had the beach to ourselves, it was like a private getaway! There were a few cons: very noisy upstairs guests (I know this can’t be helped, but it was bad,) the parking spaces were EXTREMELY tight and one of the guests kept parking in 2 spaces instead of one. There was a narrow gravel driveway offered, but if someone parked behind you then you couldn’t leave. The WiFi wasn’t strong enough to watch tv, we had to keep pausing it so it would load a little. All in all it was a great deal and would definitely stay here again!

Beach Cottage-Bay Views Loft on Beach & Veranda
Enjoyed the stay. Comfy beds with wonderful cotton linens. Cute interior. Nice, quiet off season experience. John’s recommendations for smaller local favorite restaurants were good choices. Nearby recreation centers offer day passes and lots of indoor activities for cold or rainy days. Just right for our family trip. Highly recommend.

Kings Creek Plantation - Williamsburg - Cottage
This place is amazing.... We had an awesome family vacation!!

Poseidon - Beach Carriage House - 120 Years Old
We enjoyed our stay at Poseidon. The carriage house was perfect for us, and had everything we needed for our vacation. We appreciated having the chairs and umbrellas so we didn’t have to bring our own. We’d definitely love to come and stay again.

2 bedroom 1 bath Cozy Beachfront
Brian was a wonderful host, and the beach cottage was absolutely beautiful. It reminded me of my grandmother’s home, which made the experience even more special. My family and I were so happy staying there—it truly felt like a home away from home. We hope to return soon.

The Ladybug - arcade, dog-friendly, firepit, & EV
Dave & Anjeli have truly done a wonderful job with this Airbnb. Airbnbs often don't live up to their marketing but I think this is the first one I've encountered that greatly exceeded even our wildest expectations. There's something for everyone whether you're into gaming, music, cooking, the outdoors, or want easy access to town. The house was spotless, fully outfitted, effortless to check in and out, and Dave was perfectly communicative, always available when needed and on top of anything that came up during our stay but never felt overbearing in any way. This was the best experience I've ever had with an Airbnb and we would be happy to stay here again. A word to the wise- the Ladybug is surrounded by a nature preserve so it was buggy with both natural pollinators but also mosquitos and ticks which should come as no surprise given the timing of our stay. Make sure your pets are up to date on their tick preventatives and don't forget your personal pest preventatives. Thanks again!!

Cottage in the Heart of Virginia Beach
Great location, private, and walkable to all points of interest. Craig and April were very friendly and fast to respond. Would definitely book again in future.

Comfy three bedroom cottage - easy beach access
Great place for a quick getaway! The beach is right across the road and wasn’t crowded at all during our stay. There’s plenty to do in the surrounding areas and we enjoyed attending the Harbor Fest!

Key Lime Cottage - Your Beachside Retreat
Such a great location - just a short walk from the beach. Front porch is a great place in the mornings and evenings. The dining room and living room fit our group well and we squeezed in the bedrooms (4 couples + 6 kids all 3 and under) but it was perfect since we spent most time outside anyways! Adam was super helpful and quick to respond when we needed a few items. Would definitely visit again!

Dog friendly, large fenced yard! 1st Floor Bedroom
We were invited to join our family in cape Charles but wanted to find a place that would allow us to bring our two dogs. I was absolutely thrilled to find Erika and Joseph’s home, it had a HUGE fenced yard and an entire downstairs that allowed dogs. The upstairs is absolutely adorable with three more bedrooms! We were close to an adorable bakery, an equally great ice cream place, and only short stroll to the beach. Our entire family came over for coffee and we all enjoyed hanging on the front porch chatting. There’s also a wonderful fire pit in the backyard that would be perfect for s’mores while you wind down the day. The house even had things we might need for our dogs like water bowls and waste bags. It’s a wonderful beach house for dog lovers or those looking to just kick back and enjoy some family time in cape Charles.

Quaint Beach Cottage in 4WD-OBX
absolutely loved staying here once again. we had a blast seeing the horses, driving the seashore, and fishing the beaches. Definitely plan to come back again when we get the chance.

ManeStay Island Beach Cottage - Wild Horses Roam
This is our third time staying at Diane’s place and it was wonderful as usual. It’s always refreshing to experience the quiet atmosphere and peaceful surroundings. Great place to relax.

Vintage Beach Cottage by the Chesapeake Bay
Great little beach house right by the ocean. We loved the local restaurants and walking around the neighborhood.

The Little Jewel
Excellent place to stay, Kathryn was available for any issues and the location was so close to the town everything was walkable. Loved sitting on the front porch watching the world go by and drinking coffee in the morning and wine in the evening. The house was comfortable and well stocked. Loved the Polar Springs water dispenser. Would recommend this place and come back again. Thanks Kathryn.

Loved the home and property. Will be back to visit again!
