The Southern Magnolia | 2br/1bth Home
My husband and I absolutely enjoyed our stay here at Sarah’s place. Her place made us feel right at home and we loved everything about it. We definitely want to come back and get this place again. She was very helpful and responded right away about a router my husband needed to work from home.

Private apartment only 3 blocks from the Beach
We really enjoyed our long Easter weekend at Nataly’s 1st floor apartment in Virginia Beach! Great location:quiet,private,pretty backyard with nice deck,outside shower, and view of the water & lots of animal entertainment: Herons,Egrets,Mallards,fish,squirrels and 1 possum at night! 😆 The apartment is perfect for 2 people: Very Clean,comfy, & the Queen size Bed was very comfortable and the linens smelled so good! Loved the bathroom too! There’s so much to do, so many great places to eat at & funky bars & beer places to experience! Do yourself a favor and take a walk or rent bikes: You’re close enough to the beach-go enjoy it! We recommend “Rudee’s Tours”-The Dolphin Boat Cruise was AWESOME! We’ll be back! Danielle & Phil …2 Airbnb Superhosts from Pennsylvania !!!

Oceanfront Building Boardwalk Pool Beach 3 Beds
Emma’s place to stay was really great. It was clean and the instructions were easy to follow. Emma was proactive with providing instructions and was responsive whenever we reached out.

Sandbridge Beach Bay Getaway
We loved our beach getaway because of our accommodation, it was private and peaceful and had everything we needed! Very clean and furniture done in great taste! We spent a whole week and we didn't want to leave. We especially loved the deck with all the beautiful plants and that we could hear the ocean especially at night! A big plus! We are definitely going back! Jules and Scott, the hosts were so welcoming and kind to us and always helpful. The short walk to the beach was beautiful and so easy! What a gem this place is! We highly recommend! Eric & Vivian

Tree Top Beach Bungalow 3 1/2 blocks fr beach
This was a beautiful apartment with amazing amenities. Kim and her husband were very friendly and helpful and we were within five minutes of the beach the entire time. The backyard is amazing with a hammock and a swing for the kids. We were very happy at the rooms actually had blackout curtains and we could sleep soundly. The fighter jets that fly all day are amazing to see and they fly super low so families kids and adult adults like can appreciate it.

Bayside condo on the beach in Sandbridge
Eddi was so nice. This place is so much nicer in person. The views from balcony are amazing! My daughter loved watching the sunset from the room. They even had a tray of treats and a handwritten welcome note upon arrival. The beach was nice and private. Loved the place and hosts were amazing would stay again!

Oceanfront Views! 2 BR, 2 BATH!
Enjoyed our stay. Would love to come back again. Had some trouble checking in and the helpline was far from helpful. But the manager contacted me and was helpful. Perfect locations and very spacious place.

Private Beachfront Modern Villa: Outdoor Shower!
I’ve been at many Airbnbs all over the world, and Heidi’s Airbnb is the best we’ve stayed at. It wasn’t just the beautiful view… it was all of the thoughtful touches throughout the home that made it feel more like home. It was very well stocked with quality items. Lots of towels and kitchen items to comfortably live for a few weeks or more. We stayed 24 nights and we were sad to leave. Heidi was always available to resolve any issues that came up. We were there for a stressful competition, and it was a perfect place to recharge. I hope I have the chance to come back. Also breakfast next door and Mexican across the street are so convenient!! I wanted to move there! Thank you Heidi for everything!

New Beach Home on the Chesapeake Bay
Our family enjoyed our stay while we were in town for a sailing regatta! Very spacious for our family! Thank you for sharing your place so we could enjoy some beach time as well!

Exclusive Beachfront Home w/ 180° Views & Hot Tub!
Kiána was super responsive and very kind! So thankful she helped us out last minute too! Anything we needed she was there to help! Hail to the redskins!!

Wil-O-Bay Getaway
Highly Recommend! My first time in Norfolk and I almost don’t want others to know about this place because it will be booked whenever I want to return. Peacefully neighbor and safe for women solo-traveler. The backyard is a dream and everything works great inside the home.

Stunning Views of Back Bay & Seconds to the Beach
What a beautiful and serene space for a women’s retreat! It is very obvious that the home is very well loved as well as very special. We all discussed coming back again because we enjoyed the space, the comfort and the scenery very much. We thoroughly enjoyed the great blue heron right outside the window each day as well as breathtaking sunsets. It was hard to get back to the grind after such a beautiful sanctuary weekend away.

Chesapeake Bay Beach house (Chic’s Beach) 1 block!
This place was perfect for the kids and parents and grandparents. We enjoyed our stay here walking distance to the beach was perfection. It was so peaceful, clean and spacious. We enjoyed the downstairs yard & patio area. We didn’t get to use the bbq grill but next time we stay here we will. Beautiful home. Thank you

River Retreat at Stonehurst
This is a beautiful spacious home with lots of amenities. We loved the open concept and that most of the house is on one level, so not a lot of stairs. The kids really enjoyed playing outside, the playroom and the night we had s"mores by the fire pit.

Beachfront 2 Dwellings EV charger
Great place, great views !! This is probably the best Air Bnb that we have stayed. All our family members had great time in the house. Gina has planned the house so well, very clean and all household items you can imagine are available. Simply a great Host !!

Bay Breeze At Ocean View Beach Home
Jason’s place was just what we needed for a few days on the beach.

Cher's Place @ The Beach
Had an absolute blast. Location was great and she was very easy to communicate with. Was so nice to have all the beach necessities. Looking forward to going back especially with the pools open up.

Tropical 2BR Condo Getaway 1 Block from the Beach!
This stay was 10 out of 10! It was exactly as described but more as Samantha created the coziest, vacation aesthetic in the condo for us to walk into which we weren't expecting but truly made the best start to our VA Beach vacay!! The condo has everything you need. Samantha has thought of everything from beach equipment, towels, cozy blankets, umbrellas, etc. The location is also perfect, with literally a 3 minute walk to the beach and restaurants/shops. The area is busy & noisy but again, Samantha had white noise machines & earplugs ready to go... this truly was the most considerate host & AirBNB that we have stayed in so far. Would highly recommend this stay to anyone visiting VA Beach!!!

Beachfront Getaway, Pet Friendly, Mermaid Suite
We had a great stay. The host was very kind and the space was great.

Ocean & Bay Views - Local Family Owned & Operated
The condo was great very clean and more than enough room for my guest and I. The beach was so close we did not have to walk far at all. Crystal was very responsive and made sure getting to parking to checking in to helping us find places to eat and things to do was easy you practically don’t have to look up anything cause everything was in the messages.

Paradise at the Beach
Great location for walking to the beach and many restaurant options. The beds are comfy and the living room has good seating options (unlike rentals that have only one couch). Kat was very responsive and attentive to our requests. She was great. FYI, Chicos has good pizza and fun atmosphere, Pocahontas Pancakes has great breakfast options and seems to be very popular there. The Shack is a cool outdoor bar. The Irish Pub had live music and fun atmosphere. We would rent again from Kat.

Coastal Beach condo-amazing view and indoor pool
The unit was as pictured and described. Very clean. Beautiful location and view. It was perfect for our family of 4 (2 adults + 2 kids). Very convenient location to beach, walking / running path and bike riding. Host was easy to contact, friendly and responsive.

2BD/2BR Beachfront Condo Near Wildlife Refuge
We are so happy that we found this place! It's quite a gem - right on a beautiful sand beach and very close to the Back Bay Wildlife Refuge where we enjoyed our walks. The condo is in a large and very comfortable complex with 2 swimming pools, grills, gym and even it's own and quite good restaurant. Trevor and Renee are very experienced, super friendly and easy to communicate with hosts. They made us feel very welcomed and made sure all our needs are satisfied. Extra thanks for proving the utility wagon to bring our things from and to the car. We will be back!
