There is a large neighborhood playground, a 3/4 mile long boardwalk with a bike path, and plenty of comfortable seating to enjoy the views year round.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Amy Hobbs

Originally from Ohio, brought to Virginia by way of the USN, Chris and Amy have lived in Buckroe for over 30 years. Chris is now retired from the USN, but still works on the base teaching others to do what he did for so many years. Amy is an RN, who after years at the bedside, now teaches nursing, and loves pampering their guests in the Gray Pelican. We are avid RV'ers, animal lovers, and find our greatest joy spending time with family and friends, preferably with some water close at hand. We (ok, Amy mostly) loves making our perch a home away from home for anyone who chooses to stay. Having rented from short term rentals over the years, she's developed a sense of what's important and the little things that make it feel like home. Cozy and comfortable sheets, towels, and blankets. LOADS of pillows. A super soaking shower with plenty of water pressure! Cozy sitting, inside and outside. Lots of rainy day things, like games, books, and a good tv to use to watch the game or a favorite show. Things that smell good- soap, laundry, the air- though what could match the sea air that blows our way?
Why they chose this property
Speaking of sea air, we are so proud of our little beach. We've been civically involved through the years, and love to share the hidden gem that it is. Not only a life guarded beach, but a wonderful community built playground, a mile long concrete board walk with bike path, and a pavilion with events on the weekend. And did I mention the Farmer's Market on Saturday mornings? And the other Farmer's Market at the amazing Oozelfinch Brewery on historic Fort Monroe on Sundays? Hampton also has an amazing array of restaurants and entertainment, all within just a few miles. We highly recommend Phoebus (just 3 miles away in a straight shot) for an absolutely amazing culinary experience, from El Diablo Cantina, to the Baker's Wife, to Fuller's, to Stuft, there is absolutely something for every palate.
What makes this property unique
Our property IS your home away from home. We want you to walk through the door and feel like you just arrived at your favorite aunt's house. Cozy, comfortable, welcoming. Soothing colors, lots of pillows, card games on the dining room table, sweet tea in the provided tea jug, cookies baking in the oven. The kitchen is stocked with anything you need. Want to toss a roast in the crockpot while you go sightseeing for the day? We've got you covered. Want to practice your grilling skills while the family hangs out? Totally done. Love a good cup of coffee? We've got the kettle, French Press, and fresh beans for you to grind yourself at any time. Or hey, just pop a provided Keurig pod into the Keurig, toss in the provided cream and sugar, and bam, good to go. Lots of cookbooks and all you need to make that new recipe that you now have the time to do with the kids. The family wants to put their feet up on the couch with a couple cold ones and watch the game on a state of the art TV and sound system? Got that too. Enjoy the glow of a fireplace, with OR! without the heat? Yep, it's at the Gray Pelican. Our entire goal is to make you feel like you are at home. We feel that makes us unique, and makes your stay the most relaxing it can be.
