Many thanks to the hosts! God Bless

Overall, the property was clean and very convenient to vacation in Norfolk or Newport News. The beaches were walkable from House. The kitchen was well stocked, the beds were very comfortable, it was very quiet despite nearby roadwork happening on 64. The decorations were a beach theme and the backyard had plenty of seating and just a few steps down to the water. Would definitely consider this location again, but had to purchase our own paper towels, Kleenex, toilet paper, and soap.

The house and property are kept up very well, and in a very convenient location. The private beach in the backyard is so quaint, and the regular beach is only a few minutes walk. I recommend staying here!

My overall thoughts about this property, it was cozy and had a rustic, homey feel. It was spacious with a lovely backyard and the bay was perfect to sit and overlook at the beginning and end of the day.

My children and I had a wonderful stay! The home is cute and cozy and has pretty much everything you need. The water just steps from the backdoor was amazing! A large very quiet beach is only a 5 minute walk. We had fun finding all kinds of sealife and critters! VA beach boardwalk was only about a 30 min drive so we enjoyed that as well.

We enjoyed this amazing house and property. We got to explore the neighborhood walk across the street to one of the main beaches. Also went to the Virginia zoo and a dolphin sightseeing adventure. We got to eat at the ocean view pier restaurant and enjoy our own cooking of meals. It was a fantastic vacation and we will definitely be back. Thank you for everything.

Welcome home

Property was a convenient location for what my family wanted and needed. Property was clean. Host was responsive and accommodative. Beach on bay a 5 minute walk. Small little beach on property great for the kids while adults can watch and chat around a fire. Ample seating inside and out. Would stay again and recommend!

Great Stay

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Willow-by-the-Bay. Wonderful beds, bed linens and air-conditioning. The home was spotless with a well stocked kitchen. It was wonderful not to have to bring linens as you do at many rentals. This home was perfect for four friends to get away together. We particularly enjoyed eating at the seafood restaurant on the Ocean View Pier. It was pleasant sitting outside for an evening cocktail. You will enjoy your stay.

Bright and cozy

We had a wonderful stay! The house was clean, comfortable, and bright. We loved being on the water and especially kayaking. Kayaking at sunset with my daughter is my strongest takeaway memory. The nearby highway in view from the back porch did not bother us at all (not loud) and we were impressed by the naval aircraft running maneuvers or returning to base in the distance. The house's location was close to fishing, beaches, and restaurants.

Great House!

My family had a great week at the house! Our only issue was a safety concern for senior citizens was the step down from the kitchen to dining room and step down from the hall into living room. We were concerned about the traffic noise from the interstate being so close, but it was not a problem. Bonnie & Steve were great host! They went above and beyond to make sure we had a great stay! Thank You!

Great property, perfect location.

We really enjoyed our time. Bonnie was very responsive and accommodating. The location was great for us. Our son is in the Navy so he was able to stay with us when he wasn’t working. It’s a short 25 minute drive to VA Beach and a 20 minute drive to the zoo. The small beach right outside the back door was a big hit for the kids and the dogs. The only negative we had was the water in the house didn’t get hot. It was warm enough for a short shower though. Either way, we had a great time in a great property and we will definitely stay again.

Girls Trip

Enjoyed stay in Norfolk. Very. I’ve accommodations. Only that seemed a little off to me was unavailability of TP! Was half a till when we got there for two bathrooms. (But, we were instructed that we would be responsible for toilet paper) Also beds were not made up, sheets were folded and in rooms. But very. I’ve place and would definitely stay there again.
