We had plenty of space for our family, and Lori was quick to respond when the internet went out. (It came back.) The house is on the market so I assume some updates to the kitchen cabinets may be coming soon, but everything worked fine. Great view and beach access. Very relaxing, and my husband especially appreciated the elevator.

Croatan Beach

My family came down to Virginia Beach with me and we couldn’t ask for a better location. The beach is not crowded and we have our “own”lifeguard. We were just steps from the ocean. I could see the sunrise from my bedroom window. The elevator was a bonus being able to transport food and luggage. The house was roomy and we were all able to have our space. Commutation with our host was easy and quick.

Perfect Location, Great Stay!

Wonderful location with uncrowded beach! House is large enough to meet the needs of multiple families with plenty of space to hang out too! Host responds quickly to solve problems. Many parts of the house are beautiful and others need some cosmetic updates, but it was perfect for us!

Family beach weem

The beach location is absolutely perfect. The house had some cosmetic problems that should be addressed but dont detrack from the property experience (drawer pulls needing replacement, ceilings needing patchwork, etc). One bedroom sprung a leak during the storm, but Lori was very responsive when contacted about it. Overall a great week at the beach.

Beautiful location, house comfortable but needs TLC

We loved being able to access the beach so easily. There are windows and deck seating that need to be replaced, and we were surprised that we had to rent our own linens, but our siblings and families enjoyed the open layout and functional kitchen.

Bazaar

This 2.9 million dollar house is in a fabulous neighborhood and it has beautiful views of the ocean. We were disappointed in the cleanliness of the house. We brought our concerns to the owner and her reply was “ I saw it after the cleaners left And it was fine”. Cheezits on the floorChildren’s underwear under the bedDirty dishes in the stove and dish washerMold in the ventsHorrible patch job in on of the bedroom rooms and after it rained the “patch” filled with water and was ballooning. We moved out of that room and doubled up in another. Beautiful location, dirty house.

The property is located right on the beach and dolphins swam by each day. However, the property needs attention. We had 2 ceilings with leaks (known because trash cans were placed underneath when we arrived), lots of ants inside & out, light switches had to be wiped down, bed skirts were torn, etc. It could be a great

Peaceful and on the beach

The place is dated but worked for our needs. Elevator was a plus, the incline on the stairs is daunting! Kitchen was well stocked and spacious. A few of the mattresses were could use updating or at least a mattress topper for comfort. All in all it’s a rental property on the beach, coffee in the morning watching the dolphins is worth it

Great stay at Croatan

This property isn't perfect and has some cosmetic flaws but overal it is a lovely house with an AMAZING view and access to the beach. The beach had a lifeguard right out front. There is no crowd and a ton of surfers to watch in the area. The house was clean. No sheets or linens are provided so be sure to arrange that ahead of time or bring them. Croatan is really family-oriented so you need to drive to any bars or restaurants, but that's what we were looking for. Overall amazing stay in a lovely home. We'd stay again for sure.

This house was perfect for our family vacation. The location was perfect- right on the beach and close to the restaurants near the oceanfront area. We had an issue with the wifi at first, but Lori was very responsive. We would definitely book this house again!

Beautiful location!

Open house layout of kitchen very accommodating for cooking and socializing. Some deferred maintenance issues, (windows not opening, siding, fence in walkway, worn sinks and bath) but did not stop us from having tons of fun. Great master bedroom and shower. We hope to return!

About the host

Hosted by Lori Vernosky

Host profile image
We live full time in Croatan now, originall from DC and NY. We were avid skiers, so you will notice a bit of that around the house. We really want to make your stay with us memorable. The beach is perfect. Come and enjoy!

Why they chose this property

We love Croatan, just over Rudee bridge from the resort. Close to so many restaurants and other entertainment. Almost private beach with no street parking, but we still have lifeguard service in season. This is a big dog neighborhood. Easy walking, nice and flat. Almost surrounded by water. The sunrises are unbelievable and the dolphins love to put on a show. Come and enjoy!

What makes this property unique

It’s a super cool space. So open and airy. Original artwork throughout the place. Even have a ski lift swing in the great room(originally from Lake Tahoe where we also have a place). I’m getting new pictures this weekend and will post them here. Winters are very mild here and there is a gas fireplace to make it cozy. Come and enjoy
