A short 15 minute boat ride and you can be out into the big open waters of the Chesapeake Bay right at the mouth of the Atlantic Ocean.

Our property has wonderful amenities for those who want to enjoy a waterfront paradise from the comforts of home.

Our home is a great alternative to a hotel for families who want luxury, comfort, space and the option to cook in or eat out and watch the kiddies play in the pool or hot tub without the noise of a crowded hotel in a resort area. Our location is a paradise for boat enthusiasts who want to vacation with their boats or just relax and watch the boast go by. We believe you will love staying at the Double Dolphin as much as we do. We would love to talk to you and answer any questions. We offer online booking if you are ready to book now. Send us a booking request and we will respond right away to confirm your reservation.

As with all Mid Atlantic vacation spots we are subject to hurricanes between July and Nov. Please consider travel insurance. VRBO offers a plan but there are other insurance options. Check your insurance carrier or search on GOOGLE. It's not expensive and safeguards your vacation monies.

We hope to hear from you soon.

Great House

This was easily one of, if not the best VRBO house that we’ve stayed at. The owners are responsive and proactive, the location is 15 minutes or less from everything. The house is well stocked and well kept. If we go back to VA Beach this will be the first house that we look for!

Second Year Staying Here

We absolutely love Susan and Dan Beard’s riverfront property! This is our second year staying here for our annual family vacation and everything about this place is perfect for the whole group. There is so much space for everyone to hang out. The pool and hot tub and riverfront patio offer a great place to play and relax and grill out, and there really isn’t any reason to go anywhere else, except maybe a visit to the beach which is only a short drive away. We highly recommend you stay here, especially if traveling with a bigger group!

Wedding weekend stay

Everything was great. We ended up having only 4 people to stay. We were unsure if hot tub was usable and so we did not use it. The additional ice maker was great. We love all that the owners have done to the interior. My absolute favorite was the shower!!!

Relaxing Paradise on the Water

We recently stayed in this beautiful home for a week to celebrate my mom’s 80th birthday and spend time with family in the area. It was the perfect spot with plenty of activities for our young children as well as many places to sit and relax for the adults. We all enjoyed the hammock and outdoor seating, the hot tub on cooler nights, and even took a polar plunge in the pool thanks to the unusually warm weather! This house is well stocked with everything you could possible need. All of the beds were very comfortable, and we had plenty of room to spread out! The owners answered our questions and took care of any concerns immediately and could bot have been more welcoming and friendly! We will definitely be back for another stay! Thank you Susan and Dan!

This house is perfect! It’s in a quiet neighborhood. We took a boat and enjoyed fishing and docking at restaurants instead of driving. The kids loved the pool and hot tub. Nice living areas inside and out with multiple seating spaces. The kitchen is big and fully stocked. We enjoyed the outdoor grill and dining area.

Relaxing getaway!

We enjoyed our stay at this home. Everything was clean and the owners were very organized and responsive to our questions prior to booking. The house itself with the pool was a hit with the adults and the kids. It rained a lot during our week unfortunately but there were lots of games to play and we utilized the pool in between rain showers. We would stay here again if we would come to the area!

About the host

Hosted by Susan and Dan Beard

Host profile image
Hi, we are Susan and Dan Beard and we purchased this house in the summer of 2016. We have 2 other rental properties in Cape Hatteras which we rent on VRBO. This area is home to me, Dan is from Conesus Lake, one of the finger lakes in Western NY wine country.

Our Jobs have moved us around the Eastern US but we both have a love of the water and it's always been our dream to retire in this area. We hope you enjoy our house until we can retire here.

We firmly believe vacation time and time with family and friends is the most valuable time we have. We always strive to make your vacation stay at the Double Dolphin the best experience of your year. Our reviews echo this sentiment from vacationers like you. If you check out our reviews over the past 10 years on our other VRBO property, ( 685444) you will see our renters are quite satisfied with the way we have managed our properties over the past decade and we will strive for the same excellence with Double Dolphin.

Our reviews have been very good overall, and we have worked with many awesome groups and families; however our experiences have not all been good. We have run into trouble with renters hosting large parties against our house rules, damage and stolen property. Please keep in mind we are not a big corporation with unlimited funds or a hotel with a large staff. We are working people trying to provide great service and a nice place to vacation. Please help us by following house rules. Thank you.

Why they chose this property

This house is our dream realized. Once you see it you will understand why:-). Amazing water views, Blue and Great White Herons nest in the trees across the river bank. Our home is furnished with your comfort in mind. The kitchen is perfect for many cooks to work together. The living area has abundant comfortable seating areas. We have premium beds and bedding, a well stocked kitchen and our location is perfect for relaxing in a quiet area. We are removed from the chaos of the boardwalk but close enough for you to enjoy it with a short car ride. If you have ever had to endure the "party next door that blasts until 4 am" when you wanted to sleep, you will appreciate our best of both worlds location.

What makes this property unique

Our waterfront views and proximity to the beaches are priceless. Enjoy all Virginia Beach has to offer without the tourist crowds on the boardwalk. We are 45 minutes from Colonial Williamsburg and Busch Gardens. Its about 3 hours by car to Washington DC. We have First Landing State Park 2 miles away. For the military buffs we have the Norfolk Navel Base, home of Aircraft Carriers and warships aplenty and the Naval Air station in VA Beach houses amazing fighter jets. The local resturants are plentiful and cater to all price levels. We have lots of night life oftions within a 2 mile area. We know you will enjoy all they have to offer.
