This beach “Getaway” was wonderful. Clean, well kept home, LOTS of space for large gatherings (families). We had a wonderful time, at the private beach, we did not need it, but there is also a boat launch. Really great beach getaway!

The views were amazing. The kitchen was well stocked. The only thing I will say is that we tried to get in the garage to grab the grill and we had to call the owner to find out how to get in. The welcome packet did not include how to get in the garage.

This was a beautiful scenic property. Kids all loved the York River! Made for nice family photos. The host okayed my friend being there to visit my family and I, as she is from the area, one of the main reasons for my stay. Brian the gentelman who lived in the apartment next door was kind and helpful and gave us information about the York River. Lucy his dog was also very friendly.

If you're looking for a big, quirky house, with a beautiful yard and a small sandy beach, this place is for you. The listing was 100% spot on! Arrival WAS a bit tricky (gps had us take a turn too early), host let us know about it with welcome instructions. My kids are on the older side, but they still thought the setup of the house was fun. Plenty of room for all. Only downside, AS STATED, was that you had to go through one of 2 bedrooms upstairs to get to the 3 bedroom and bonus area with futon. Again, not a surprise, so no big deal for us. Large kitchen, plenty of room for meals and game nights. The backyard was perfect for volleyball and badminton. While there was a lot of seaweed washed up on the beach, there was a nice little area the water didn't hit that was great for tanning, or reading. The neighbor that lives in the house beside was super nice and very helpful, with tips about the area. Funny enough, I think one of the best things about the stay was that the towels provided were a dark blue- not hotel white lol!! While this might not be a house that fits everyones style, it was just right for me and my crazy family!

The home was quiet and nice. Unfortunately, the kitchen Oven did not work or even turn on. It would have been nice if there were dishwasher tabs to run the dishwasher.

Hi Lori, Thank you so much for your kind words and for staying with us! We're so glad to hear the home had plenty of space for your family and that you enjoyed your time overall. We truly appreciate you letting us know about the ants in the kitchen, it's helpful feedback. While we do have regular pest control in place, sometimes a few determined visitors still manage to sneak in, especially during warmer months. We've already alerted our team so they can take care of it promptly.

Beautiful place to stay!

My group had so much fun with the private beach! The canoe was such a great amenity along with the ping pong table. Would definitely say to make sure you bring your own toilet paper and paper towels etc, but other than that had a fabulous stay in an absolutely beautiful area. Would recommend this vacation to anyone.
