Chesapeake Bay Views on island. Rooftop Deck, WiFi, Bikes, Kayaks. Pets Welcome!

Enjoyed two night stay here, had everything my mother, sister and I needed. Very clean and fully supplied. View from roof deck was very nice. It is easy drive for a day trip to Virginia Beach. It was little hard to find in the dark since house number was not visible from the road at night but that was my fault for not printing out a clear map :).

Went to this property for our anniversary in October...of course the area was very quiet which was perfect for relaxing and unwinding from a hectic & busy time before. This house has everything you will need to kick back & relax. Great view of the bay..restaurants nearby & beautiful vistas. We would highly recommend coming here anytime. And an additional bonus was the drive to here after Richmond was easy, not crowded and fairly quick ....comparing it to going to the Virginia Beach area. Bring a good book, a puzzle or just enjoy the views.

First impression...the house is well-maintained both inside and out. The inside was clean, not just "looked clean," but was very clean. The outside is trimmed and manicured. Our dog loved rolling around in the plush grass. Even the grill, which is important to us, was clean and well maintained. The inside of the shed was maintained and uncluttered. Even the kitchen drawers were organized and uncluttered! The queen bed is almost certainly the most comfortable bed we have ever slept on in a rental property.

It takes about two minutes to walk to the public beach. During the weekend there was some minor car traffic as would be expected. What we didn't expect was once the weekend ended so did the any noise. We really felt like we were the only ones on that part of the island.

The only things we can think of that were not quite five star were: the water pressure was adequate, but not strong; nor was the water super hot. The tap water is funky both smelling and to taste, not at all unusual for a coastal property. That said, the Chenault's stocked a healthy supply of bottled water available to us. They even left some treats for our dog!

This place is a winner and we would definitely stay again! Thank you, Chenaults. Well done!

Had a wonderful time on the Chesapeake Bay. The home is very accommodating and located in a nice community. You can tell the owners have taken great pride in their home, as it was well furnished and taken care of. The beach is literally across the street . We loved the use of the kayaks and bikes. We brought along our dog who absolutely loved the water as well. The only downfall was the biting flies outside (perhaps the time of year?). Thank you Dean and Cathy for a great week. We will for sure come back !!

We had a great stay at this house. We especially enjoyed the sunroom and roof deck - being able to hear the water in the bay from in the house or to relax on the roof deck is the perfect way to relax! The small community beaches are an easy walk. If you have kids, be sure to bring a beach cart/wagon or you can always just drive up in under a minute. If you are unfamiliar with the area, the beaches are quite small but we typically had the larger of the two community beaches to ourselves for our entire 9 day stay.

If the wind is out of the west, be sure to bring a repellant that works on flies. The black flies are around on the beach and yard with winds off the land. They are nonexistent with a wind off the water (we're used to this in our neck of the woods too). They don't bother everyone, but you know it if you are one of the lucky few!

The house itself is comfortable and had everything we needed. There was ample space in the kitchen to cook and the open kitchen/dining/living room concept was great so that we were never isolated while cooking or relaxing. If you haven't stayed on a small island before or had well water, the tap water can tend to smell a little depending on the recent rain. The owners were fantastic when my wife thought the smell grew worse, showing up quickly to put in a new filter on the house water system and with a case of spring water.

5/5 we highly recommend staying here if you are looking to relax and unwind for a bit.
