Vacation rentals with lake access in Portsmouth

We had an absolutely wonderful time at The Canary Island! Pete & Kim are amazing hosts! The house was stunning, so beautifully decorated and the scenic view on the back deck is everything and more! We had everything we needed and more for our weekend stay, from complimentary coffee, soda, wine and water to all toiletries that we could possibly need. I loved all the personalized recommendations for restaurants and beaches. Pete & Kim went above and beyond to make my children's birthday extra special by welcoming us with balloons, snacks, birthday decorations & even added American flags for my son who is a Marine. It was so thoughtful and we truly felt welcomed. Thank you so much for helping us to feel at home!

The place was exactly as described! Easy to find and clear instructions for check in and check out. The location was very quiet, peaceful and beautiful. The river was so pretty! Our daughter (and us) loved watching the geese, ducks and cranes everyday. The patio and balcony were perfect to sit out and relax. The kitchen had everything we needed. Very tastefully decorated. Beds were so comfy! Neighbors very friendly too. This is close to VA beach about 25-30 min drive. There were several grocery stores and restaurants nearby. We enjoyed Virginia Zoo about 15 min away. The owners are extremely friendly and quick to respond to us. We highly recommend this condo and the owners!

The host Mikhail was very responsive and helpful throughout our trip and I must say, pictures does this home no justice. Would definitely stay again as we’re in the area A LOT!

Absolutely loved the home and the whole experience! Our only issue was in our arrival and not being aware that high tide would impact when you should attempt getting to the house. More information regarding the tide schedule and if the roads within the houses are accessible would be very helpful. Recommendation to stop at the grocery store before you each the beach access road and what types of things are not supplied at the house would be good, too. Overall we were so very pleased with our stay and Misty was great when we needed her. I would absolutely recommend this house to my friends and family and would love to visit again!

House was perfect for our group. Plenty of space to hang out inside and out. Everything was as described and there were no issues checking in or out. Would stay again if in the area.

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.

Catherine’s home was the perfect place for our sister’s weekend. It was easy to find, warm and welcoming. The neighborhood was stunning. Close to the river, the park, The Maritime Museum, and the CNU campus. The fully stocked kitchen and charming family room was a wonderful place for us to enjoy coffee in the morning and cocktails in the evening. Catherine thought of every detail to make our stay relaxing and peaceful. There were many wonderful memories made this weekend. We look forward to staying again!

Tracy‘s home was an absolute treasure for our girls weekend away as sisters and our daughters to celebrate our mom‘s 70th birthday weekend! While it was insanely cold, we still got to take advantage of the gorgeous location by bundling up and taking walks on the beach, as well as sitting inside on the cozy couch, with the amazing views of the water! From the hot tub, to the fire pit, to the huge open living area, we were able to enjoy all of it! Beds were so comfy, and there were plenty of throw blankets for warmth and coziness. We hope to come back again when the weather is warm to fully take advantage of all the amenities that Tracy has to offer.

My weekend stay was great. I enjoyed the cozy, comfortable apartment. The host was readily available. I’m definitely coming back.

I would definitely stay here again! My absolute favorite part was the deck outside. It had so much seating and a table with an umbrella. The home was lovely. The queen size bed was comfy. The space on the side of the bed with the wall is awkward because the intake vent is there, and that vent is also loud and annoying. Just wear earplugs! We added two of the wooden tray tables from the closet as night stands. The house is clean except the floor, which I'd imagine is hard to sweep or mop because the boards have shifted, making the floor uneven with cracks through out. So the floor felt and looked a bit dirty, but you're by the beach with sand, so eh not a problem.

Charming Cape Charles getaway! I was so happy to find this gem and even more thrilled when I arrived. From the beautiful landscape of the gated community, to the southern charm of this glorious suite…I wanted for nothing. This enormous suite has all the comforts of home and the location was spectacular. The property offered not only a private beach on the bay , a community pool, a beautiful well maintained golf course, it was also a short drive to the charming town of Cape Charles. Dawn offered endless advice to her favorite restaurants, activities to do and places to see while we visited. She was just a text or call away if I needed anything. Her hospitality was beyond measure. I look forward to coming back.

The place is really cute, cozy and clean. What the pictures show is what you get. The host, Velma, is super friendly and responsive.

I loved staying at Velma’s place, it was cozy and cute, exactly what we were looking for. I will definitely visit again. Velma was awesome and responsive. My stay was as imagined.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Truly a beautiful property. Very comfortable and well appointed. Will definitely stay here again!

We loved our stay at the Simple Life. Everything was exactly as the listing pictured it. While the house is on the older and smaller side compared to many of the other rentals in Sandbridge, it has clearly been impeccably maintained. We enjoyed the pool and being just two blocks from the beach, which was uncrowded. My only minor complaint is that the bunk bed in the second bedroom wasn’t super comfortable and it was very squeaky, which wasn’t ideal since I was sharing it with my sleeping newborn, and my senior mom had some trouble getting up on the bed in the primary because it was so high off the ground. But that is seriously such a minor thing. The kitchen was well-equipped and we had plenty of towels and access to a washer/dryer, which we didn’t end up using. We had a really wonderful, relaxing time and my dad commented several times he wished we could have stayed another week!

A Beautiful home with a lovely back yard. Lots of space inside, and lots of amenities for kids. The kitchen was great and had everything I needed. Overall the house was very comfortable, but perhaps a bit under-furnished. Although the listing indicated dedicated office space, I ended up doing most of my work at the dining room table, but that worked well and had a nice view of the river. The network was snappy and reliable. The neighborhood was quiet and the home very private -- My stay was quite enjoyable and the host was responsive when I reached out.
