Beautiful vacation house in a beautiful location. Everything was exactly as described. Cindy was very responsive and friendly and even let us know about the wild horses and when we could expect to see them. Our vacation was perfect.

Beach Cottage - On Beach with Wrap Around Porch

HeatherRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
Loved the hardwood floors & outdoor space. The kayak was a bonus and the beach was steps from the cottage. I really appreciate that I could drop my bags and enjoy the Chesapeake Bay since I arrived so early. John is an excellent host. Will definitely stay here again!

A sandy pathway leads to a pergola surrounded by tall sunflowers. The pathway is bordered by wooden beams, guiding guests to a seating area that offers views of the bay. Sunlight accentuates the lush greenery under a clear blue sky.

Poseidon - Beach Carriage House - 120 Years Old

LovelyRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
John was an amazing host. I didn't have to reach out to him during our stay because he proactively provided us with everything we needed. The house was very comfortable and clean. We enjoyed the beach and the comfortable sitting areas on the property. My fiancé and I were in town for a wedding and John's spot did not disappoint. We had a rental car and found great restaurants and attractions nearby. We also door dashed a couple times. John had great recommendations in the house manual. We will definitely be back. Thanks John!

The Ladybug - arcade, dog-friendly, firepit, & EV

MarianRating, 5 stars2 months ago
To say this house was a dream come true would be an understatement. From the moment we drove up the long driveway and laid eyes on the picturesque setting of the red house nestled in the woods, we fell in love. My 17-year old daughter walked in and said the pictures online did it no justice and she is exactly right. The house was immaculate, with every feature you could possibly imagine. The technology throughout was unbelievable. Google Home in EVERY room. TVs with surround sound. A game room that kept us busy for hours. A karaoke machine. It was a much needed getaway. Our dogs were in heaven with the acres of land to explore on walks. I have never felt so relaxed. I just can’t say enough. I love the city of Cape Charles but honestly did not want to leave this house. The host, Dave, was so great with communicating, even before we arrived. We will definitely plan another visit here! I would say the only downside was getting carpel tunnel trying to beat high scores in the arcade room. ?

"The Simple Life" Sandbridge Beach, Canal front

RachelRating, 5 stars8 months ago
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!

Beachfront Cottage

MarinaRating, 5 stars21 months ago
My husband and I spent a week at the beach cottage. The location is unbeatable, just steps to the beach. If you are not fond of the sand, you can sit in the porch and enjoy the view. You will not want to leave! The house was clean and exactly as pictured. Cecilio and his wife answered promptly all of my questions about places to eat and things to do. If you enjoy fishing, the Ocean View pier (longest in the State of Virginia) is just a half a mile walk from the house, or a short drive. You can rent fishing poles, buy bait, and feel like a local. You can also get some crab traps and get blue crabs. The pier has a restaurant with a nice view and a full bar. The beach right outside the house feels private. It is the perfect place to relax and enjoy a good book. If you like water activities, the cottage has plenty of beach gear, including paddle boarding, and kayaks. We wanted to relax and reconnect, and this place was the perfect spot for us. Highly recommended.

Beachfront Cottage Best Location In Ocean View!

FrancescaRating, 5 stars7 months ago
Beautiful location right on the beach! We took our shoes off when we arrived and didn’t put them back on until we left! It was so nice to hear the waves from the patio.
The sandy beach area leads to calm waters, framed by patches of grass and shrubs. In the distance, a bridge spans across the bay, while a wooden pier extends into the water, providing a scenic backdrop for relaxation.

Porch Happy! A place to hang out by the beach!

KristiRating, 5 stars2 months ago
We are in the middle of a move still, sold our house and are airbnb hopping until we can find forever. This place was a nice layover for the winter months. The place was kept clean, although slightly dated. When you walk in, it really feels like coming back to grandmas house for a sleepover. We had two minor leaks and those were quickly remedied. The host is responsive! One leak happened on new years and had our maintenance man out the same day. There is no dishwasher, so the dishes are in the condition the previous tenant leaves them. This is of no fault to the host, however I did find I had to rewash many dishes before we could use them. There was a huge selection of dishes to choose from though, and we were able to get around the cleanup without putting the brakes on our evening routine. We didn’t get to explore the city much, as we all caught the viruses circulating this year, so we stayed cozy in this place for the months.

Secluded, water views, private pool, 1 mi to beach

MicaelaRating, 5 stars19 months ago
An absolute oasis! We unfortunately had a very rainy time during our stay, but had a blast fishing and swimming in between the storms. And just a short drive from the beach when the sun did shine! Kayaks, pool floats, a grill, all the little details were provided. Dawn answered any questions we had while staying and was accommodating when we couldn’t stay the required length! A couple things to note: The small wood dock pictured is no longer there. A little bit of a bummer but just some muddy shoes when fishing and harder to get in and out of the kayaks. The conventional oven does not work. A ninja air fryer oven is provided but is obviously a bit smaller, so a sheet pan dinner or something of the sort is not an option. I would also recommend bringing tinfoil for the baking tray in the ninja (especially if you want to make cookies!) as it is more of a wire rack. Both of those things still left us with an incredible vacation but just wanted to note for guests! Would book again!

*Vintage Cottage on Creek Peaceful Private Sunsets

LibbyRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Leslie’s place was a nice roomy cottage on the lake! In a great location with a really pretty view out back-we went out every morning and evening to see the ducks and cranes! The house had everything we needed and the couches and beds were very comfy. Leslie was very responsive and gave us some great advice while we were there! We will probably stay again in the future!

Life on a Sandbar right on Chesapeake Bay

JoeRating, 5 stars5 months ago
We had a terrific time at Jimmy’s cottage on the beach. You are just steps away from the water and can settle in right there with beach chairs or walk for miles on a fine sandy beach. There is always a ship or two to watch. The cottage has everything you need and has a great layout for privacy with one bedroom and bathroom on opposite sides of the house. The cottage is clean, has everything you need for relaxation and if you want, cooking something up. There is outdoor seating, a table and chairs, a grill and a hammock to while away your time in the sunny afternoon. Jimmy is incredibly friendly and responsive to any issues or needs you may have. He even let us check in early the first morning as the cottage was available. The towels and linen are super comfy as are the beds. It’s a great place to unwind and relax. Terrific seafood at Willoughby by the Bay which is just down the road at the end of the Spit. It’s a dive but the food is five star. Jimmy’s cottage is wonderful!
