Well worth the visit.

Positives: on the bay and A/C worked great.
Negatives:
Kayak were unusable. Fortunately, the property managers were able to replace the first morning.
The apartment was dirty. The rug wasn’t vacuumed. The vacuum worked sporadically. The bathroom was dirty. It looked as if someone had been shaving at the sink. The front base of the toilet had old, dried urine on it. The floor at the bottom of the toilet was disgusting, including an old, discarded q-tip (We have pics of this, as well as almost all of the problems described in this review.)
Biggest problem was that the kitchen plumbing was partially clogged. A plumber was sent but after hours of work was unable to fix the clog. During our 3-night stay, on at least 4 or 5 occasions we were forced to bail out the dishwasher if we didn’t want it to overflow into the kitchen and for us to have to clean up the flooded kitchen again.
The grossest thing of all was that the backyard was basically a large restroom for dogs. I have a video almost 2 minutes long that shows the dozens, and dozens, and dozens of dog poop all over the back yard.
Also
-Teflon frying pans need replacement;
-Shower curtain that needed replacement;
-Ants all over the kitchen;
-Patio furniture is old and doesn’t and doesn’t look remotely close to pics on VRBO.
All around, very disappointing. One of the worst rentals we’ve stayed at. Unless you want to be on the beach and ignore all of these problems, I would recommend you go elsewhere.

Really enjoyed our stay location is perfect

We had four adults, two teens, and three children and some dogs. Everyone fit easily, and we were really comfortable. It was clean and felt safe. The main room is really comfortable for the whole group, and sometimes the kids went downstairs to watch tv. The wifi was ok, not stellar. The beach is really private feeling and the ocean is gentle and great for floating. We had inner tubes and floated a lot. It's a really solid location and beachfront. The kitchen is great and the views are terrific.

The property is lovely and the quiet beach is fabulous! The sunrises as well as the sunsets are amazing! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The only surprise was the quadruplex right behind the beach house. We’d do it again!

Excellent location, you're basically on the beach. The house itself is a generally fine, but there are parts that are in need of repair - the stove doesn't light by itself, the carpet has some staples poking through, etc.

We didn’t have the best weather but had 3 good beach days. Beach is clean and waves were fun!

Very nice, clean place to stay to enjoy the ocean. You are literally steps from the beach where you can enjoy dolphin and crab sightings. The place is clean and adequate for my party of 6 in my immediate family plus my parents and our two dogs. Far enough away from public beach access to make it feel like you are on your own private beach! Close enough to restaurants and pier access to enjoy some of the nightlife.

This is our second time staying at the property and we were so happy both times. The house is perfect, right at the water with a perfect view. There is plenty of space and we love the privacy. We saw dolphins every morning and a pod of babies came as we were leaving. It rained two out of the three days that we were there but it didn’t matter. We stayed inside and played games and watched the boats go by. We’re very excited to go again, this one is definitely a winner!

Highly recommend. Cozy, with a single full bath in the main unit. Must climb decking stairs to access entry door.
BUT, expansive views from oceanfront property steps from a very uncrowded beach due to no nearby public parking. Clean and everything functioned great. Two very nice ocean kayaks made for some fun paddling on the bay.

The house is so nice, so clean, and we loved it.....when can we move in forever! We come to the virginia beach area every year, usually we stay in a hotel but this year we decided to rent a beach house. We loved it, had walmart deliver groceries, we cook breakfast each day but made sure to order some fresh seafood! We will definitely be back!!!

Lovely beach cottage. Not situated on the best street, but it doesn't matter once you get into the property. The cottage is set on the beach side of another building facing the beautiful ocean view in the pictures. You escape the street sounds and have a nice porch to sit on if its raining. There is direct beach access for a nice quiet beach. The house is clean and has all the necessities. Communicating and working with Cindy was easy and pleasant.

Had a lovely stay with our family. The access to the beach was perfect and you can’t beat the view!!
