Family Beach Trip

This is our second stay at Enit’s house at Croatan Beach and both experiences have been perfect for our family including a toddler and a dog. The house is very spacious with enough room for everyone to feel comfortable. Even in a heat wave, the walk to the beach was quick and easy and Enit provided lots of beach essentials - chairs, umbrellas and a wagon for hauling gear. Our family had a great time and would love to stay again!

Time with family

We booked an emergency Vrbo for our family to deal with the death of my mother. I can't stress enough how incredible it was to have a clean, comfortable, and beautiful place so close to the beach to lay our heads. Grateful to Enit for his accommodations.

Family trip with older kids is always a challenge but everyone had a great time and it was awesome having our own space and bathroom! Communication was beyond what I expected. Between instructions, suggestions, tid bits of "speed traps". Even during the stay if I had any questions, responses were thorough! The house and location was amazing. We were far enough away we didn't have the craziness of everyone from the boardwalk (it was like having our own private beach) but close enough we could go to the boardwalk everyday if we wanted to experience! And even though more permanent residents in the neighborhood than renters everyone we ran into (or walked past during our morning walks) were so polite and welcoming.You for sure had to get used to the loudness of the jets taking off from the best but my gosh was it the coolest thing!!!!Feel like I could go on but bottom line I can't recommend this VRBO enough! Thank you for a great week!

Great location and access to the beach...we preferred this quieter stretch of beach to the boardwalk area. It was nice to have beach supplies (chairs, umbrellas, etc.) to use as well as the outdoor shower. Wifi worked well.

The perfect balance in Virginia Beach

Sea Dream Croatan was the perfect place for us! It's close enough to enjoy the Virginia Beach boardwalk, shops, and restaurants, but also super quiet to return to after a busy day. Croatan Beach was clean and not crowded at all. Most pet friendly beach houses have the smell of pets, BUT not this one. The beach was an easy walk. I will recommend that if you drive a vehicle that is low to the ground you may want to use the street parking as the driveway is steep. Enit was an excellent hostess, very helpful and responsive. We will be looking for an opportunity to stay here again!

Family Vacation

Enit’s place was perfect for a vacation for our family. Lots of space for my husband, infant, in-laws, and dog to stay. My infant still wakes up overnight, especially on vacation, and it brought us peace of mind to be on the first floor in a room next to his and two floors away from where my in-laws stayed so that we didn’t have to worry about him waking anyone up. Lots of room to relax on the second floor and on the decks. We made food on the grill 3 nights which worked out great. Very quiet neighborhood, quick walk to the beach and beach is not heavily populated. Enit was very responsive. We would definitely stay here again!

Everything We Needed

In between homes with just our suitcases, this home had everything we needed for a six week stay. The kitchen is fully stocked with all the pots, pans, and small appliances you'd want to cook your own meals. We especially liked the waffle maker. It was just two of us and our cat, but there are enough beds for a large family reunion. The entire home is very spacious with two large decks. A fireplace in the living room gave our February movie nights a cozy setting. As for location, its proximity to the ocean made for some great runs and walks along the water and in the neighborhood. The owner is friendly and quick to answer any questions. She made our check-in, stay, and check-out all very easy. Highly recommend!

Perfect!

Second annual week at the beach with a 23 month old and can't say enough about this wonderful house. So much room to spread out and such a short walk to the beach that we went back and forth with very little effort. Even the tiny toddler legs could make it easily! Kitchen is so spacious that we could all be sharing the cooking and clean up chores comfortably. Loved the washer and drier on the second floor and used it to be able to return home with all clean clothes and towels which is always a wonderful way to end a trip. Enit was helpful as always with tips for the week and responded quickly to any questions. Lojnging on the 2 outside decks is always a favorite pastime and we were not disappointed again this year. Already looking forward to next year at the beach!,

First time in Virginia Beach

Beautiful and roomy property. The extra bunks in two of the rooms allow for configurations for specific family needs. There are two big tables in the living room as well for a big dinner gathering or just family games, etc. This would be a great location for a multi-generational family gathering as well due to the extra living room/bathroom/counter at the entry level connected to the two entry level bedrooms. Our kids (11 and 14) love to boogie board and the waves were just right for them. The check-in was seamless. Enit returned every inquiry and communication within hours and checked up on us the first day to make sure we arrived safely. She even sends polite and gentle reminders for trash pick-up, etc. We had a blast! Thank you!!

Great family rental walkable to beach

Three families with young children stayed for a week and enjoyed the house, especially the location close to the beach and the many beach and kitchen supplies. The outdoor deck on the middle floor is great for reading and chatting in the shade but is not waterproof. All the kitchen equipment worked well. Owner was very responsive if skeptical that adults would sleep in a twin bed. Internet was solid. Neighborhood was quiet. The beach access point was great because it was pretty calm (late July). My only comment is that the backyard could use a little improvement and the grill probably needs a deep clean.

From the very start, Enit was incredibly friendly, informative and on top of things. The house was super clean when we arrived and was stocked with everything we would need just like at home. Very spacious and comfortable—beach supplies too! The short walk to the beach access was easy, too. We would definitely love to return in the future! Thank you Enit!!

Why they chose this property

This property is perfectly located in Croatan, a wonderful neighborhood just south of the Virginia Beach Boardwalk and the hustle and bustle of the resort area. It is so close to it (0.9 mile) you can actually jog to it (our favorite activity during early hours of most summer days), or bike there. Croatan is an oceanfront and direct ocean access residential neighborhood with a wonderful and caring community. The beach is only 5 min walk. There are some limited views of the Ocean from the third floor of the house and decks.

What makes this property unique

It is in the best location in Croatan; Very limited street parking guarantees your quiet vacation in a neighborhood with limited traffic and very quiet, not crowded beach.The beach we access through Twilight lane is exclusively for swimming, (enforced by lifeguards who ticket surfers, if any) hence very safe for small children. If you would like to surf with a surfing board, there are dedicated and exclusive surfing areas at the northern and southern most parts of the beach.. Very close to the boardwalk but still super quiet. Fully furnished with all amenities, board games.
