Clean, quiet, spacious, and very relaxing!

The views of the ocean with dolphins playing was a great way to start the day. No need to bring anything extra as everything you need to enjoy the beach is supplied. In fact, all the basic necessities were provided for our brief stay. Although the unit is on the third floor, the steps were not exhausting.
The pillows and mattresses were more comfortable than ours at home. Communication was excellent before and during our stay. We would stay at this comfy house again!

I’ve rented plenty of vacation homes, all very nice, but this one by far was the best!! So clean, comfy, convenient and the owners thought of everything. I’m not a beach girl, but I thoroughly enjoyed this stay as did my fiancé and son. Great location, fantastic views…I can’t say enough good things. If we visit the area again we’ll stay here again for sure

We stayed here mid to late June and the area was very private only a few other people on the beach. The water was calm and it gave us just the relaxing get away we needed.

We found this place last minute so we could travel from Pa to say our see you layers to our Marine. Super clean, large place. Wonderful views of the ocean from the living room/kitchen windows. Everything we needed to get that family time in! If he ends up bk in port after deployment we’ll be back!!! Rick was great to work with, allowed us to move our bikes into the foyer area so they were safer. Thank you!!

My mom and I had a great stay at this beachfront condo during our trip. The location is superb, right on the beach and very accessible. It turned out to be a perfect spot for both relaxation and telecommuting. The condo is spacious with calming bedrooms that offer stunning views of the ocean through expansive windows. We appreciated the quiet beach atmosphere and the friendly locals. Additionally, the rental provides beach equipment which was very convenient. It's exceptionally dog-friendly, complete with treats and a designated feeding area for pets. Although the condo doesn’t have a balcony, it wasn’t an issue for us since the beach was just steps away. Overall, a fantastic vacation spot that catered to all our needs.

The house and area itself was very beautiful and felt super comfortable. This place provided us snacks when we first arrived and beach toys and equipment to use at the beach along with board games and more. Overall the floor we stayed in truly made us enjoy our stay at the beach even more.

The condo was amazing. This was our first experience with this host and was extremely pleased. The place was very clean with many extras to make our stay comfortable. The beach access was amazing, it was not crowed at all. I would strongly recommend.

The Big Blue Getaway was a lovely place with ample amenities (kayaks, paddleboards, beach chairs, etc.) and attentive hosts. Being right on the beach was perfect for our family with ease to enjoy (very quiet and peaceful). We traveled toward Virginia Beach for most dining and activities (not much in surrounding area). Great stay!!

We all had an amazing time staying here. The place was clean and well equipped. They provided lots of high quality amenities and we appreciate it. Our chihuahua also loved it there and seemed happier than ever staying at that place. Access to the beach is lovely and location is close to Norfolk attractions and Virginia Beach. We hope to come back😊.

My family of 6 recently spent a few relaxing days at the Big Blue Getaway in the Mermaid Suite. The property was beautiful and well-appointed, inside and out, with plenty of room for all of us. From the Mermaid Suite, we had great views of the ocean and easy access to the beach. The property also provided plenty of beach gear: chairs/loungers, kayaks, paddle boards...the list goes on. Rick and Merlyn were also amazing hosts. They were very attentive and responsive throughout our stay. We would definitely make another trip to Big Blue!
5.0 / 5.0
We had a great time staying in the Big Blue house. Rick and Merlyn were great hosts and the apartment had everything we needed to get quickly settled in.
We had the beach largely to ourselves for much of the week. The location is a bit out of the way, which has pros and cons associated with it. As a plus, the beach is relatively quiet and limited to guests and owners of houses in the neighborhood (Willoughby Spit). Conversely, it is a bit out of the way from other attractions. We drove into Norfolk most evenings for dinner; the city has some great restaurants within about a 15 minute drive from the house.
Based on what we wanted - a quiet place to bring our family and dog - it was perfect.

Our stay was a girl's relaxation trip. It rained the whole stay but that was fine. Our home, the mermaid suite, was welcoming and beautifully decorated. Also the host was excellent. Very good property 👌

The Mermaid Suite was amazing. The view was amazing! So much room inside, with plenty of space for the 4 of us plus our dog. The bedrooms were very nice and nicely sized. The bathrooms were great plus you have your own laundry if needed. The kitchen was big and the layout was perfect. We loved our stay here at Willoughby Spit Big Blue! Very accommodating with lots of extras. It was wonderful to have a private beach area to relax and enjoy the surroundings.

We had a great stay here! Merlyn and Rick went above and beyond on supplying everything we could need! They were very responsive and even coordinated some special surprises for our daughter who was graduating from Regent University during our stay!
We loved the fireplace and used it about every night! Was great to have our own designated parking spot. Laundry room complete with detergent was nice too! Was so helpful to have places to put our suitcases and dirty clothes in each closet. They had extra supplies that came in handy and provided soap, shampoo, conditioner, bubble bath…you name it! We also thought it was great that we could have brought our dog if we needed to.
The view was awesome as well! We would definitely stay here again!

Rather than our typical Navy Lodge, we splurged on a beach rental and Big Blue was perfect! Rick and Merlyn havecreated a very relaxing and family friendly space. Their attention to detail was excellent- every need was anticipated- and made for a great week for me and my kids. We are looking forward to another opportunity to stay at Big Blue!

It was very nice. I only have two issues one being the check out time. It was a little early and the stairs were very steep but, the view was amazing and we would definitely come back!!

This rental was lovely - enjoyed a weekend getaway with a friend and we loved waking up to the sights of the water. Meticulously clean with a really well stocked kitchen made our stay very comfortable. Loved waking up to catch the sunrise and see dolphins swimming close to the shore. A lovely, relaxing getaway.

We stayed for a long weekend birthday getaway. Nice place, clean, beautifully decorated, the bed is super firm (my back let me know). The windows facing the ocean did not have screens in them and because of the flies did not allow us to open them. The house is stocked with everything you need to cook, shower etc. Make sure to bring chairs for the beach if you want to sit out there. If you are like us and order food delivery, the choices were just okay, might be worth the 30 minute drive into Virginia beach for better choices. Place was quiet and appeared safe, we could not hear the second floor guests for the most part unless we were heading outside. Easy check in and check out. The hosts were wonderful and respond very quickly. Loved that we could bring our furbabies with us as well.

Big Blue 3 is an absolutely wonderful property with beach access and beautiful views. The apartment is clean and beautifully decorated. The location provides great access to hiking First Landing, Kiptokepe, and Pleasure House Point. Great winter get away - really relaxed and enjoyed the environment. The apartment is well appointed and has everything you need. Highly recommend.

Perfect little getaway!
We had an absolute blast on our girls weekend in this beautiful home! The location to the beach simply can’t be beat, and there are many wonderful restaurants close by (which our hosts kindle recommended) and we enjoyed every one we tried! The hosts were very friendly and kind, and the house itself was immaculate as well as cozy. We enjoyed the little touches such as providing soaps and some general hygiene products. We will definitely stay here again!!

The stay here was more than I could if asked for. Very spacious and beautifully decorated. The owners were very friendly and accommodating. There was even a welcome sign with my name on it which was such a nice touch. We will definitely be staying again! Thank you!!

Home away from home
The property was even better than the pictures showed. I was expecting a nice room and a comfortable place to stay, but the little touches made it special. From coffee and cocoa to the incredibly soft blankets, it felt like home away from home.
Just bring your luggage and yourselves for a great sea side experience.
