Year Purchased: 2002
Why the Owner Chose Virginia Beach
I chose this vacation rental because it is a very short walk (a few minutes) to the ocean and is close to all the resort attractions. Also, I really like the 2 covered porches facing the backyard of the home - with the leafy tree making each porch feel like a private tree house.
The Unique Benefits at this Townhome
The home is very relaxing - especially the laz-y-boy leather couch and 3 recliners (great for afternoon naps!).

Homeowner Response:
Mike probably did not intend this comment to be entered in the guest book, as it is a request to rent the home. We appreciate his interest in the vacation home.

This home is beautiful and my family was very comfortable staying here while building our new home just up the street! We'd love to find another blender like the one you provided - my mother used it constantly!
