Perfect home for a nearby family wedding

We had a fabulous weekend! We used the bikes to ride up to the Virginia Beach Art Show on Friday. The home was the perfect size for our family as we prepared to attend wedding festivities both Friday and Saturday night. We actually walked to the wedding as it was only a few blocks away! We were also able to have extended family over for an impromptu brunch. Lots of room both inside and out for gathering. Highly recommend!

Family Summer Get-a-way

Our family lives in different parts of the country. Each August we select a place to stay that everyone can get to so that the multi-generational family (ages 6-50) can reconnect and make memories. This property was perfect for us. There was plenty of room on the first floor to gather for meals and play games. The outdoor area offered shaded and sunlit options for seating and convening. The bedrooms were spacious and comfortable. The detail that was slightly unusual, but not an issue at all, was that out of the four bedrooms, 3 had direct hallway access and the other could only be accessed by walking through another bedroom. Once again, not an issue for us! The VIBE District was more than we expected! Short walk to the beach (perfect), quiet street, and just a street or two over there were plenty of coffee shops, restaurants, a farmer's market on Saturday, and quite a bit of night life. Something for everyone! I would definitely recommend this property!

Emerson’s Cottage is a winner

We had a wonderful mini-vacation at Emerson’s Cottage. It is a great house in a convenient location. The owners have lots of nice touches and amenities - modern appliances, Keurig coffee station, arcade and board games, lots of bikes, ceiling fans in all rooms, TVs in all rooms, etc. The outdoor space is well appointed too with a sofa, chairs, and a dining table big enough for 8. The yard is set back from the street so it is safe for little ones to run around. The communication with the owner was excellent. I highly recommend a stay at EC! DB

Perfect Hom

This is a perfect home located in the Vibe District. It was within walking distance of several amazing restaurants and coffee shops. It was also a short walk to the beach and the Virginia Beach Sports Center where we spent the majority of the weekend. The house came with almost every amenity that you would need for a beach vacation including multiple decks to hang out on, a beautiful lawn to play games, bikesmto ride around town, and boardgames to play inside the hosue. The most popular hit of the weekend were the two old school video game machines that provided hours of fun for our boys throughout a rainy weekend. We would definitely stay at this house again the next time we have a small group in Virginia Beach
