Our house, The Double Dolphin, is the perfect spot for friends or family to gather for a great Virginia Beach vacation. Situated on Broad Bay Island at the north end of Virginia Beach, our quiet, non-touristy neighborhood is about 1 mile from the beach on the Chesapeake Bay, 2 miles from First Landing State Park beach with miles and miles of walking, bike trails and guarded beaches, and about 8 miles up the beach from the Virginia Beach Boardwalk. Our location is perfect for those who want to enjoy all Virginia Beach has to offer but want to stay in a quiet and safe neighborhood environment on the water, near many restaurants without the tourist crowds.

Our beautiful property offers a tranquil waterfront view and we have plenty of docking space if you want to bring your boat, jets ski or any water sports equipment.

Crab or fish right from our bulkhead. By boat, you can explore the beautiful inland views of Broad Bay, the creeks and estuaries. Wade ashore and enjoy a sandy beach at First Landing State Park for off boat leisure or visit waterfront restaurants with docking. These inland waterways are perfect for exploring on paddle boards jet skis or kayaks. You can get a local rental if you don't have one. A short 15 minute boat ride and you can be out into the big open waters of the Chesapeake Bay right at the mouth of the Atlantic Ocean.

Our property has wonderful amenities for those who want to enjoy a waterfront paradise from the comforts of home. Enjoy our beautiful salt water pool or relax in the 6 person hot tub while watching the Blue Herons, Cranes, Pelicans and the amazing variety of shore birds native to the area. We offer luxurious beach towels and beach chairs to make your packing easier. Our premium bed linens and towels will ensure you are comfortable and feel pampered during your stay.

Thank you for considering us for your vacations, short Get-a-Way's, kids travel sports events, business travel, family reunion, holiday gatherings etc. Please note, non family groups must all be over 25 and you will need to acknowledge our special occasion / party policy.
Our property may not be used to host a party with guests who are not listed on the rental agreement. We live in a quiet neighborhood and do not rent to anyone who wants to throw a big party. Violation of this policy is immediate grounds for eviction.

Our home is a great alternative to a hotel for families who want luxury, comfort, space and the option to cook in or eat out and watch the kiddies play in the pool or hot tub without the noise of a crowded hotel in a resort area. Our location is a paradise for boat enthusiasts who want to vacation with their boats or just relax and watch the boast go by. We believe you will love staying at the Double Dolphin as much as we do. We would love to talk to you and answer any questions. We offer online booking if you are ready to book now. Send us a booking request and we will respond right away to confirm your reservation.

As with all Mid Atlantic vacation spots we are subject to hurricanes between July and Nov. Please consider travel insurance. VRBO offers a plan but there are other insurance options. Check your insurance carrier or search on GOOGLE. It's not expensive and safeguards your vacation monies.

We hope to hear from you soon.

We spent little time there. It was nice. But we could not believe that no bath soap was provided in the showers , let alone shampoo for 600 a night! Motel 6 has soap. If we did not have family down the street it would have been disastrous. Negatively affected our stay and opinion. Also the electrical is not to code and is dangerous.

About the host

Hosted by Susan and Dan Beard

Host profile image
Hi, we are Susan and Dan Beard and we purchased this house in the summer of 2016. We have 2 other rental properties in Cape Hatteras which we rent on VRBO. This area is home to me, Dan is from Conesus Lake, one of the finger lakes in Western NY wine country.

Our Jobs have moved us around the Eastern US but we both have a love of the water and it's always been our dream to retire in this area. We hope you enjoy our house until we can retire here.

We firmly believe vacation time and time with family and friends is the most valuable time we have. We always strive to make your vacation stay at the Double Dolphin the best experience of your year. Our reviews echo this sentiment from vacationers like you. If you check out our reviews over the past 10 years on our other VRBO property, ( 685444) you will see our renters are quite satisfied with the way we have managed our properties over the past decade and we will strive for the same excellence with Double Dolphin.

Our reviews have been very good overall, and we have worked with many awesome groups and families; however our experiences have not all been good. We have run into trouble with renters hosting large parties against our house rules, damage and stolen property. Please keep in mind we are not a big corporation with unlimited funds or a hotel with a large staff. We are working people trying to provide great service and a nice place to vacation. Please help us by following house rules. Thank you.

Why they chose this property

This house is our dream realized. Once you see it you will understand why:-). Amazing water views, Blue and Great White Herons nest in the trees across the river bank. Our home is furnished with your comfort in mind. The kitchen is perfect for many cooks to work together. The living area has abundant comfortable seating areas. We have premium beds and bedding, a well stocked kitchen and our location is perfect for relaxing in a quiet area. We are removed from the chaos of the boardwalk but close enough for you to enjoy it with a short car ride. If you have ever had to endure the "party next door that blasts until 4 am" when you wanted to sleep, you will appreciate our best of both worlds location.

What makes this property unique

Our waterfront views and proximity to the beaches are priceless. Enjoy all Virginia Beach has to offer without the tourist crowds on the boardwalk. We are 45 minutes from Colonial Williamsburg and Busch Gardens. Its about 3 hours by car to Washington DC. We have First Landing State Park 2 miles away. For the military buffs we have the Norfolk Navel Base, home of Aircraft Carriers and warships aplenty and the Naval Air station in VA Beach houses amazing fighter jets. The local resturants are plentiful and cater to all price levels. We have lots of night life oftions within a 2 mile area. We know you will enjoy all they have to offer.
