This house worked perfectly for our stay. We had 10 of us come down to VA Beach for one last trip of the summer - have lots to celebrate coming up this fall across the family so it was fun to get away with friends and family.
The house is in a great location - just a couple blocks over from where 264 comes into the city, set back some from the hustle and bustle of the VA Beach oceanfront and hotels, which was great. The house is private, on a quiet street, and had plenty of parking available. 10 beds, plus a pull-out if needed, meant we all slept comfortably. The bathrooms look recently updated and were great. This is true of the kitchen too - the oversized counter space combined with the open floor plan was great for everyone to hang out together around. The appliances are also of good quality, a bonus for cooking at home!
Other positives - Harris Teeter is minutes away so I didn't feel like I needed to lug down a lot of groceries in the car. The historic Cavalier is a quick drive (~ 5 minutes away). We were also able to go up that way and easily get parking for getting onto the beach away from the hotel crowds. We were also close to some good food spots - check Bay Local for everyday brunch!
Some areas for improvement: those "nice little touches" amenities were a little lacking - there wasn't much in the way of extra TP or paper towels in the house. The bathrooms were all almost out of hand soap and the showers didn't have any guest shampoos or soaps. There's only the 1 TV and it looks about 12 years old and is a little on the small size considering the size of the living space. We didn't come to watch TV all day but it's something to consider when trying to pull up a movie at night. Some of the newly renovated things are not well installed - the dishwasher looks "off" in the kitchen, the curtain rods are about to fall off in every room, the cabinet doors of the entertainment console are crooked, the chandelier isn't centered above the dining table, and miscellaneous building pieces and equipment (brackets, screws, instructions, etc.) are scattered throughout the closets and pull out drawers. None of this really diminished the quality of our stay thought - just QOL (quality of life) details.
5 stars overall though, and I would definitely consider coming back!
