The apartment was clean, bedrooms were comfortable, easy beach access, area was quiet. Building was a little hard to find, and parking confusing at first, but since not all the units were occupied, it was not a problem.

little touches matter

Well, we had a rough start... our flight was delayed and we didn't get in till after 1:00 am. the code we were given didn't work and we were left standing outside and were pretty distraught. We called several times and were about to rent a hotel but then Sojourns responded with a new code ... apparently the internet went down and the code failed. We got a new code and entered the apt. the sojourns management company was kind and apologized. The apartment was clean and had little snacks waiting for us and nice water bottles in metal can - very nice touch. The front of the building isn't the best and people hang outside and smoke but the back is wonderful and I felt safe. They also provided nice dishes, soap, shampoo, conditioner, lotion and toilet paper. It's the little things that show care. They checked on us later in the visit and after we left. I appreciate the good service. the beach is easy to access but if you have dogs beware because there are tons of sticker thorns growing on the path. The beach is lovely! I would go back here thanks mostly to Sojourns!

Very close to beach

Very nice property at a shot of sandwedge distance to the beach ( about 100 yds). Clean and two bdrms with confortable beds. Kitchen is basic with no pantry and cookware basic. If you plan on eating at homeit is very basic. Had to ask for salad bowl. Plus no dish rag nor dish towels.had to buy out own. But all the basic is there.very quiet place.beach need to be cleaned up with lits of seaweeds.

Amazing spot

The property is right on the beach - great if you bring your dog. The bedding and pillows were the softest ever! Super quiet location and lots of parking. The back patio is also spacious. The restaurants nearby were delicious - lots of outside beach options. Will definitely be staying here every time we catch a show at Hampton!

Sweet little property

Overall, very sweet little property. Just a few steps to the beach. Beautiful sunsets seen from there! And, it’s very close to Norfolk beaches and the Naval base. There is not a whole lot of sitting/lounging spots in the property. Only one couch and one accent chair. Probably would be a bit tight for two couples as far as sitting goes. The thermostat wasn’t working, and wouldn’t shut off, so we woke up to 85 degrees one day—not great for sleeping well, but property management was right on it when we told them about the problem. The decor is really cute. It has a beachy vibe. Beds and linens were very comfortable. We had a lovely time in Norkolk and surrounding area, and the property was a nice place to rest and relax between adventures!
