The River retreat was quaint and had everything one might need. There are other potential tenants in the house in front, but they were respectful and nice. Unfortunately I was there when the remnants of a tornado went through, so it was rainy and I didn't get to enjoy the outdoor area much, but I can see how it would be lovely in good weather! All in all, it was a very plesant stay.

Just right!

We were looking for something close the convention center. The tiny house was conveniently located and had a beautiful water view. Everything was perfect, wish there had been caffeinated coffee, but that was only a small inconvenience.

Convenience & Location!

Perfectly tiny-sized accommodations in a super convenient location for our busy weekend. Minutes from our event venue and close to the shore! I wish we had more time to enjoy the deck. We didn't anticipate the tiny-sized warm water situation for showers...so that does take some thought with more than one adult.

Relaxing Retreat with Stunning Views

Hampton River Retreat exceeded our expectations! The home was spacious, spotless, and well-equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The river view was absolutely breathtaking—perfect for morning coffee or evening wind-downs. We loved how peaceful and private the property felt, yet it was still conveniently located. The hosts were kind, responsive, and made sure we had a smooth experience from start to finish. This was the perfect spot to relax, recharge, and make great memories. We’d return in a heartbeat!

Nice and quiet

Ali and Stephanie were good hosts. They sent me the information way in advance about the property as well. It was a very quiet area and quaint as well. I liked that it is kind of central in between Newport News and Norfolk so plenty to do. The outdoor patio was nice even though it was a bit too chilly for us to hang out there. The water view was nice as well. Def would stay here again!

Hampton Tiny house

Nice little house, located perfectly for what we were doing…running the crawling crab 5k Saturday & 1/2 marathon on Sunday. Very close to the Colosseum where they started. Bull Island Brewing had great beer & the best crab pretzels and only a mile away. We also went to Ocean Vier pier for lunch Sunday only 15 minutes away, and hit VA beach on Saturday afternoon for a few hours. Had a great weekend.

Not as quiet and private as we thought

Our stay was interrupted twice by the landscaper who cut the grass during evening hours at 7 pm while we tried to sit outside. I thought that was disrespectful and not quiet at all. Also, the outside cushions were invested by ants so we were not able to use them. Otherwise the tiny house was as advertised but I would not come back for a quiet weekend.

Best Tiny House Ever

The stay at this property was the second time for me and my husband. The host is awesome because I made a slight suggestion for a more accommodating stay for me and it was considered and done. The outdoor living area is the best feature. Last but not least the location is within a short distance to anywhere.

Great, updated tiny house!

Great house to stay at while in Hampton! House was comfortable for my family, enough space for 2 adults and 2 young teens. Location was central to many things we wanted to experience, the beaches, historic sights and more. Easy in and out to highways and shopping. The house also has a fantastic outside space, although it did get very warm during the day in August. The River setting was beautiful to wake up to every morning! Thank you for sharing your home with our family!

About the host

Hosted by Kia Wyatt

Host profile image
Ali & Stephanie are Hampton residents and business owners—together they own and operate Holistic Family Solutions, a counseling practice with a whole-person approach to wellness. They turned an unused shed on their waterfront property into our tiny house through their own sweat and that of their friends and family, and they’re excited to share it with you. We all live nearby and are just a text away if you have any questions.

Why they chose this property

chose this neighborhood because it perfectly captures the charm of Hampton’s waterfront living — peaceful, safe, and conveniently close to everything. The area sits right along the Hampton River, where you can take a morning walk and watch the sunrise shimmer off the water or enjoy a short drive to downtown Hampton’s restaurants, breweries, and live music.

It’s a quiet, established community where neighbors wave hello, yet you’re minutes away from Buckroe Beach, the Hampton Coliseum, and local marinas. I enjoy how it blends a relaxing coastal atmosphere with the convenience of being near all the essentials — perfect for professionals, travelers, and families alike.

What makes this property unique

This property offers the perfect mix of comfort, style, and convenience — all wrapped up in a private, newly renovated tiny home on the river. It was designed for extended stays, with a fully equipped kitchen, washer and dryer, high-speed Wi-Fi, and a cozy living area that opens to a spacious patio and outdoor bar setup.

Guests love that it feels like a hidden retreat — quiet and serene, yet close to hospitals, military bases, and downtown attractions. Whether you’re a traveling nurse, corporate guest, or couple looking to unwind, the space is crafted to feel like home — with thoughtful details, quality finishes, and a true local Hampton experience.
