the gym facility was nice for myself and my children- Amy and I loved the mattress we have already discussed the problem on the third floor- I would expect a quiet night's sleep-not received- recommend some sort of screening or check in procedure to ALL guests to ensure residents are applying to the rules

The house was great and had everything we needed!! I was expecting a bit more of a view from the house but other than that the house was wonderful. The location of the chairs and firepit is in the front next to the parking lot which was not expected rather than in the back.House was clean, hosts were great and friendly!

The home was immaculate, three bedroom perfect they have everything you need. The beds are very comfortable, No need to bring anything. Convenient to many restaurants, Virginia Beach, the Naval Base. I highly recommend only thing if there’s a rowdy crowd on the third floor ( we were on the second floor) it might be a little noisy. The noise does definitely transfer down.

The absolute best VRBO we have ever stayed! The house was stocked with anything we might have needed from laundry pods to phone chargers, towels, shampoo and conditioner, even coffee and creamer in the fully equipped kitchen! The beach view and easy access were amazing. The house was immaculate and has a very calm, relaxing feeling. I can’t say enough good things. We ran into some rainy weather and the host notified us while we were out to stay safe! 1000% would recommend! Our special request to meet the most handsome 4 legged host was the high-light of our trip. Such considerate hosts for our Showgirl is a Wife Weekend!

One of the best beach rentals we've ever rented. From the personal message welcoming us on the parking spot sign, to all the amenities, our stay was excellent. Everything you need is provided: toiletries, coffee, tea, fully stocked kitchen, complimentary snacks, and everything, I mean EVERYTHING, you need for the beach! The owener greeted us when we got there, and were quick and attentive to all our questions. Very clean and modern. Only con was we could hear every time the guests walked above us. Otherwise, we definitely recommend the Dolphin Suite!

Nice stay, thank you

The condo was really nice and clean and had so many extra touches by the owners. They literally thought of everything! They were also very accommodating allowing us to check in a little early which was great since we had our dog. The second floor where we were had a slightly obstructed view which you can see in the pics if you look closely but it didn’t bother us since you can look to either side unobstructed. I didn’t realize there was a top floor to rent as well even though it clearly says that in the description the mermaid suite probably has a little better view. The only thing I was wishing was an outdoor deck or patio to sit on to enjoy coffee in the mornings but you can easily go down and access the beach to do that. We did have a family with kids check in to the suite above us our last night and you could hear them running around But it was just here and there and couldn’t be helped. Just mentioning it for awareness for others. Overall it was a great stay and the place was very Very nice. Thank you,

Great stay and awesome hosts

Stayed for a long weekend for a family birthday get together. Communication with the hosts was flawless, always answered the messages via the app. The house was easy to get to in a nice neighborhood. The area was safe and quiet. The house was ready when we arrived and it was spotless. Everything was clean and in order. The kitchen is fully stocked and we found complimentary snacks and drinks waiting for us. The beach is just a few steps away and it was nice to take the dog for a walk along the water. The house is in a nice location, about 15 minutes to downtown Norfolk and a quick 30 minutes to Virginia Beach. Many things to do around the area. Private parking on the property was convenient. The property is spacious with three large bedrooms, plenty of beds, comfortable seating in the living room, fireplace and a view of the water. The TVs were good size and fully functional, HVAC kept the temperature comfortable. It was a truly enjoyable stay without a single complaint. We will definitely return to the Dolphin suite when we return to Norfolk.

The property owners are actually the neighbors of this property. They were very accommodating when we arrived ahead of schedule and made sure we had a place to sit out of the heat until our rental was ready. Messages were responded to within minutes. The house was modern and very clean! Probably the cleanest rental we’ve ever had. The street was very safe and perfect for families with children. All the basic necessities were provided. I cannot overstate how perfect the location and the property was. This side of the ocean had calm waters, again perfect for small children and kayaks, which we used extensively.

Our girls trip getaway was everything we were hoping for! The condo was very clean and offered every amenity we needed. We enjoyed the private beach, beach chairs and umbrellas. There was more debris on the beach than anticipated but the city did have equipment trying to pick it up. That would not prevent us from returning again to Norfolk. Rick & Merlyn are the perfect host & hostess! We highly recommend this condo!
