Great place with a nice little private beach. Neighborhood is fine, not much around the area but the house is worth it.

We had a fantastic stay at this beautiful house on the bay! The calm waters and private beach were perfect for kayaking and paddleboarding. The fire pit was a favorite for making s’mores, and the swing, games, and even a piano made it feel extra special—great for creating lasting family memories.We stayed with four adults and four kids, and the space was just right. The charcoal BBQ was perfect for grilling, and the location made it easy to explore. We enjoyed visiting Colonial Williamsburg, the Nauticus museum and Battleship Wisconsin, Virginia Beach, and also loved just relaxing at the house.The renters were friendly, responsive, and always willing to answer any questions we had, which made everything even more enjoyable.Highly recommend for a fun, comfortable, and memorable getaway!

We had a wonderful stay at the Oceanfront Escape! We enjoyed the spacious deck and backyard with fire pit as well as spending hours sitting on the private beach with our feet in the water, watching pelicans and seagulls diving for fish. The house was perfect for the 6 of us!
