Great Stay

We were there during non-season time so area was quiet and house was in great location and clean. 3 minute walk to beach - home came with all the amenities you would need and was perfect for us as we visited family at Norfolk.

Beautiful Home

The home was beautiful. It had a perfect beach theme through out the house. The beach was literally right across the street which was amazing. Christina left us a sweet note and a bottle of wine to enjoy during our stay and that is something I have not had in any of the other places I have stayed. I thought that was a very sweet gesture. Now the area wasn't the nicest and you had to drive a distance to really get anywhere which was crummy. Overall it was a nice place to stay and we enjoyed it.

Amazing!!

We had an amazing stay here! The host was incredibly friendly and understand. We had some date issues after we book and the host made it so easy to move the dates around. I highly recommend staying here. We also loved the pool table!

Lots of privacy and good beach location

The house was very accommodating for 5 adults with private bathrooms for the 3 bedrooms and it was literally a block from the beach. The only down side was the noise from the road in the front bedroom at night with the windows open but not a deal breaker. We would rent here again if in the area.

Bday weekend

The house was very nice, the bed in the master bedroom was super comfortable. The pop up assembly on the right side of the double bowl vanity needs to be serviced. The shower was amazing!
