There's not much more I can say that hasn't already been noted by the many other spectacular reviews. This is a superbly built, beautifully decorated, and impeccably maintained house. The layout of the house is exceptional - 9 of us had plenty of room to gather or be alone. The owners are exceptionally accomodating and provide everything you need for a comfortable visit. The location is ideal - a quiet area, right next to the beach, but within a quick drive or long walk to the busier Va Beach areas. I would not hesitate to recommend this rental to anyone...in fact, it's even nicer in person!

We stayed in the home with our family for Thanksgiving 2011. And we have never stayed in a home with more welcoming owners and fabulous accommodations! We had rented homes in the Outer Banks for years. This year we decided to stay in Virginia Beach to visit friends and be closer to amenities, and it was worth it! Having direct contact with the owners turned out to be wonderful. They were truly dedicated to make sure we had a wonderful vacation and we felt more than welcome. The owners have thought of everything! There were toys galore for our two daughters to play with. They never wanted to leave the house! The kitchen was fully stocked for our Thanksgiving dinner. The owners went out of their way to make sure we had all of the kitchen supplies we needed to prepare a Thanksgiving dinner in the home. Proximity to the beach was key to us and this home was perfect. We had a football game on the beach Thanksgiving day. The beach walkway was only a few steps from the front door. The proximity of the beach gave us gorgeous views of the sunset each morning from the master windows. We would wake up to pure bliss! The home is decorated beautifully. Every piece of tile in the bathrooms has obviously been handpicked, and the flooring throughout the home is gorgeous. We had a fabulous vacation and when we plan on going back to Virginia Beach this will be the house we will be renting!! Thanks owners for providing such a wonderful vacation for us and our family!!

We rented this amazing home the last week of October 2011 and had a truly wonderful vacation. The weather was perfect, warm enough for the kids to enjoy swimming in the ocean and playing on the beach. The walk from the house to the beach is just a few minutes, and the owners provide everything needed to make the beach time easy and enjoyable (including a beach wheelbarrow to carry beach supplies). The house is spacious, immaculate, expertly decorated and luxurious but very cozy (with super comfortable beds!!). It feels like home rather than a ‘vacation house,’ with lots of amenities, including toys for the kids, books, music, and movies for kids and parents. The owners were so accommodating and made sure we had everything we needed [including some extra Barbie food :) ], and they are really, really nice people to boot!! We couldn't have asked for anything more, and hope to make another trip to VA Beach and this property, in the future!!

My family had lived in Virginia Beach for 19 years, so when my daughter needed a house to get ready in for her wedding, this one was PERFECT! She lives in Michigan. My other children and I live in Florida. My parents and grandmother live in Pennsylvania. We all stayed in this wonderful home in order to do final planning and dress for the wedding. We had 4 generations in the house and the elevator was perfect for my 90 year old grandmother. Very easy and fun to use. The owners are wonderful people who thought of everything you would need. They live near by and were available if needed. When we needed to relax at the beach, there were plenty of beach chairs, body boards and beach towels to put in the beach buggy provided in the garage. The house was very clean and beautifully decorated. The beds were comfortable with many different pillows. We were all impressed with the state of the art electronics and lighting. This truly is a home away from home and it was the perfect place to get ready for my daughter's wedding. My Uncle was so impressed, he is already planning his own family get away at this home. Can't wait to come back for a family reunion.

As tenants of the North end of Virginia Beach for approximately the last 10 to 12 years, we have spent the last 3 years this the lovely residence. The house is impeccable and is well stocked in every feature. Having stayed in rental properties on the Atlantic Coast for over 20 years, we have never had a house that is so well equipped and well maintained. We find this location to be the best we have ever had and would recommend it highly to any Summer tenant. The proof is in the pudding, since we have rented the house for 3 years, it must be as described because you do not go back for a second stay at an unacceptable summer rental house.

Fabulous Luxury Beach Rental !! ( Best of Show )

The description and photos on this rental could NEVER do it justice ! Virtually everything is far better than described and the attention to detail is absolutely awesome. We travel constantly and this is one of the best properties we have stayed at ever. Owners have done a superb job of anticipating your every need and making sure that it is met. You will love the outstanding central audio-visual system, the three fireplaces, the central vacuum, the DVD movie library, CD music library and even an extra beer refrigerator in the garage, and even the dual garage door openers for more convenience. The easy to operate elevator makes staying here so easy and convenient - you won't believe how much you will love this feature !! Unlike most timeshare rentals (which we do a lot) this home has upscale fine glassware, very nice china, silverware, and the best in cookware, every kitchen gadget you can imagine, and all the gadgets and small appliances you might have in your home. Cooking will be enjoyable and make your vacation more like staying at a friend's home than a rental. The sunrises and sunsets from the roof top deck are priceless and the beach view from all of the decks is stunning. When you go to the beach, you will enjoy the beach buggy to haul all of your gear to the water over the sand, and returning to the house you'll also like the outdoor shower and hoses to clean everyone and everything off. The owners are really wonderful folks who live in the area and are committed to making sure everything is perfect for your vacation. We were in need of nothing during our stay and at no time did the thought ' I wish we had brought ....' come to our mind. If you are coming to Virginia Beach and renting, you owe it to yourself, your family and friends to check this lovely property.

Five of us rented the house for a girlfriends getaway and had a ball! The house was just as presented on the web: Clean as a whistle, every amenity possible and lots of room for gathering, Across from the beautiful Atlantic Ocean beach and close to many attractions, the house was the perfect location for our jaunts downtown and to Norfolk and Williamsburg,. Although we were a group of women, the house is perfectly equipped for families too. The owner provides information about local markets, restaurants and other places of interest around town and was available to answer all our questions and concerns throughout our stay. Definitely would stay there again.

Just spent a long weekend with 4 other longtime friends. The house was everything the description and pictures promised; we just didn't have time to take advantage of it all! Kitchen is wonderful and very well stocked - lots of directions everywhere for how to use everything.. Everything was clean and sparkling and owner took lots of time making sure we knowe where everything was and making recommendaitons of restaurants. Easy access to the beach and all you need to take advantage is in the garage- we didn't use as it was still April. The neighborhood is wonderful and worth a walk around if you like houses and gardens. Be sure to go to the planted walkway down to the beach (47th st maybe?) that is dedicated to those lost to cancer; it's beautiful and inspiring. We went both to Colonial Williamsburg and Norfolk Chrysler Museum on different days and enjoyed both of those activities. The only thing missing on the first floor is a dressing mirror but was easy enough to go upstairs and see how put together I was or wasn't!

Recently rented this house for an extended weekend stay and must commend the owners for a great experience. This home is full of wonderful features for all ages, and blends the charm of the beach with a cozy feel while relaxing by the fireplace. The kitchen is stocked with complete essentials (and more), as well as high quality appliances that should make any cook feel at home. The house is spotless and very well maintained on all levels. I would definitely recommend this unit to anyone looking for a perfect family vacation to enjoy Virginia Beach and the north end location.

My family rented this gorgeous property for 5 weeks in Jan and Feb of 2011. The home includes every amenity imaginable: a chef’s kitchen, very private comfortable bedrooms, luxurious bathrooms, an elevator, roof top deck with great views, one car garage (with a full size refrigerator/freezer and a half bath), plenty of additional parking, wired and wireless internet in every room, cable TV in every room, DVD’s, books, board games, beach chairs, and much more. The location is perfect as you are steps away from the beach, a short walk to the boardwalk, and close to conveniences and first landing state park. The neighborhood is beautiful and safe. The owner’s did everything possible to make sure we enjoyed our stay – they are pleasure to rent from. We have enjoyed many vacation homes – this one tops our list.

I can not say enough about this beautiful home and it's owners. From the minute I walked in the door I know how much attention had been made to all the details. We did not need one thing because it was all provided with great care. The house is big but cozy and what a great location. Very friendly family neighborhood with the beach right across the street. The beds were so comfortable that everyone in our party wanted to take them home. I would go back to this home anytime and hope I get a chance to do just that. Thanks for a wonderful weekend. SH, you are the perfect host.

This beautiful home is VA Beach's best kept secret in the rental world! Our group of 10 (6 adults and 4 children) were able to spread out quite comfortably and the "beachy" decor was fabulous and fresh. From the glass elevator to the boogie boards to the 7 flat screen HD TVs - this home has it all! We will highly recommend it to family and friends. And, we would love to rent it again for the next family reunion!

The owners of this home spare no efforts to make your stay amazing. My family, four children, spouse and mother have stayed here twice and both times it has been amazing. The owners have taken the time to stock the house with everything you need to have a great vacation. Not only did they stock toys and beach gear for us, they also have everything you need in the house to relax and enjoy yourselves. It is close to the boardwalk and all the restaurants and all the fun but far enough away to enjoy your stay. We will stay here again, hopefully many times.

This was a perfect vacation for myself and my family.The owners were very helpful. Sometimes they were too helpful. There was so much to do and so little time. The kitchen was amazing and had everything that you needed plus more that you did not need. The only thing that we could not find was an Apple corer. The upstairs roof/look out was awesome I was told. I am in a wheelchair and had no problem getting around because of the elevator. The bathroom was accessible which is always a plus when you are in a wheelchair. We would definitely recommend this to everyone. I would definitely be back if I could not visit another state.

"I should have posted this sooner, but this thing called life kicked back in after my family and I spent a wonderful 4 days together in this meticulous home. From the intitial contact with the owners, to looking out the rear veiw mirror as we pulled away, one word comes to mind.....PRICELESS. The ease of working with the owners in securing the rental was amazing. They provided area recommendations, seasonal information, brought additional linens and a blow up mattress for our extra large family, and even baked a beach themed cake complete with hot cocoa because the weather in March during our stay was rainy and cool. The home is not only well designed and spacious, but you will want for nothing. The owners spared no cost on the finishing and the home is appointed with everything you can think of. Bring your groceries....that's it! The kitchen is a true cooks kitchen with top of the line cookware and every utensil/serving option, from traditional to clam bake. We traveled with children, teens, adults and grandparents. The elevator was a must to accomadate the grandparents we traveled with and the children enjoyed catching a ride when in use. Our family can not wait for an opportunity to stay again. I think it may be our new tradition!!!"

My husband and I were looking for a local beach house to rent for our 20th anniversary. We happened upon this website and this wonderful property. It's an amazing house owned by an amazing couple. They really made us feel like we were "home" for the weekend. It's a hop, skip and jump from the ocean, lots of restaurants and entertainment. Our stay made our wedding anniversary weekend perfect. Suffice it to say that we can't wait to stay again...longer this time!
