A slice of heaven!

First things first- best vaca rental I have ever booked!! Clean, updated, so so so cozy and was easy to settle in. They really make you feel welcome!We wanted waterfront in Virginia to do all the things with the kids in the area. This location was so perfect and a short drive from Busch Gardens, VA Beach, you name it, so it more than worked out! However if you wanted to come to a place and never leave? This place is the perfect spot for that as well! I probably dosed off in the rocking chair twice at night after the kids went down just listening to the water. My husband fished off the dock pretty much every single night lol. We checked out a few restaurants in town, amazing fare! Olivia’s! Go there, get all the food! We were sad we only made it once. Anyway, highly recommend!! Honestly, I hope we come back again soon!

Lovely home on the water

My 2 sisters and I stayed for 4 nights. Beds were so comfortable, and we had everything we needed to make our stay a memorable one. Nice places to sit outside, and a long dock with benches made for great photos. We would definitely stay here again.

Property was amazing. In a quiet spot, with beautiful views, just the right distance from other amenities. Property is in great shape for being right on the water. The only thing I would add is heed the owner's warning to wear water shoes in the water, lots of oyster shells in there.

One of the best vacation rental we have ever experienced. Great information prior to check in, easy checkout.Went on vacation with my husband and had a friend join us for the first few days. Very relaxing atmosphere and we loved watching the bird activity on the water and in the surrounding area. Great little town to explore as well as close to the Historic Triangle. No complaints, a very positive experience.We will definitely be back!!!

Our favorite place to relax

This is our second stay here, and we love it so much! The house is super clean, fully stocked, and has all the essentials you might have forgotten at home! There is nothing more relaxing than sitting out in the hot tub overlooking the bay with a good book! We would recommend this house to anyone looking for a restful and relaxing getaway! We can’t wait to come back!

Didn’t want to leave!

I stay in many VRBO’s and this is by far my favorite! The pictures honestly don’t do this beautiful home justice! Between reading on the dock and hearing the water hit the rocks, to waking up and seeing the water from your bed. Cool evenings in the hot tub with a glass of wine and a good book is the icing on the cake for this gorgeous home!I can’t wait to come back!Absolute perfection!

Views for days

Views views views! This place was unbelievably beautiful with the views from the windows. It was cold and rainy during our stay but that did not deter us from enjoying everything this place had to offer. From the hot tub downstairs to the main bedroom views it was fantastic. We went Saturday night just up the road to the Flat Iron Croasroads place for live music and it was great. The place was packed and the band was awesome. We will be booking again in the spring or summer for sure

Reluctantly Sharing This Hidden Gem…

’m almost hesitant to write this review because this place is just that good. My wife and I spent a perfect weekend here and couldn’t have asked for more. The house is beautifully appointed and thoughtfully decorated, creating an inviting and comfortable atmosphere from the moment you walk in.The entire upper floor is dedicated to the master suite, offering a third-story view that feels like a private retreat. The bed is one of the most comfortable we’ve ever slept in—like sinking into a cloud. And then there’s the shower… spacious, with multiple shower heads, and big enough for two. Pure luxury.It’s the kind of place you don’t want to leave, and if I had my way, I wouldn’t tell anyone else just to keep it all to ourselves. But it’s too amazing not to share. If you’re considering it, book it—you won’t regret it.Let me know if you’d like to make it even more playful, romantic, or add any details about the kitchen or outdoor spaces!

Wonderful Property!!

The property is well situated on the land to take advantage the views of the water. Sitting in the master bedroom and looking out onto the water is magical. The host has everything you could need to make meals if your bring food. The grill works great for steaks. We did not use the hot tub but it was nice and warm if we had wanted to. Host provided several recommendations for eating out and we enjoyed their favorite (Olivias) and one other for breakfast (Pancake House) and you will not be disappointed. Can't say enough about how relaxing it was to spend some time in this nice quiet vacation house.

Shannon was an excellent hostess. The home exactly as described; clean, comfortable, with views from every direction. We took the French family recommendations and had delicious meals at Olivia’s in the Village, Scoots BBQ, YROC had the best shrimp, and Yorktown Pub. The museums and historical stops were well presented. Coming back to this waterfront home was a welcoming end to the day.

Beauty on Mobjack Bay

We were two. Away for our 28th wedding anniversary. The house is located in a great place for a quiet stay! The master bedroom is like a treehouse which looks out into the water. Watching the sunrise from bed is energizing. The living dining area has nice views of the docks and sun sparkling off the water. The screened porch was a nice place for breakfast, a coffee, or an evening libation. We stay in homes rented by owners often (eight times since January 2024). This house was very nice. I like to prepare our meals, and the kitchen had a few essentials (olive oil, salt, pepper), nice knives, and dish ware fine for the two of us. The furniture was comfortable and we enjoyed lounging around reading books with the “fire” going. I was able to kayak one time and I wish I could have gone out more (temperatures and wind deterred me). If you go, Ware Neck Produce (also has GREAT fresh seafood- $4 soft shells), the village of Mathews (cute place to walk around and nice restaurant- the White Dog Bistro), and Nuttalls General Store (expensive but fun to poke around in) should be considered. The slow arrival down the drive to the expansive water view will enhance your decompression. Enjoy!
