Stay here if location and cleanliness are your top priorities. The house is on the beach and right next to the fishing pier, so some noise but not too much. The house is old, very run down and dysfunctional in its layout. It lives up to its description on the VRBO site as rustic. That said, the house was very clean and tidy it had all the necessities. Would not recommend it for small children due to some creative electrical work.

It reminded me of my uncle's beachfront home in the 70's in Md. Nothing fancy but comfortable, private and a lot of good memories. Very nice beach is so close to the house and this location is convenient to get to everything. Make sure you try the steamed crabs at Graham and Rollins' Hampton Seafood market just 12 miles away.

About the host

Hosted by George

Host profile image
I began refurbishing the historic homes of Ocean View into nightly rentals in 2017 while studying mechanical engineering at ODU. I was at first unenthused with the vacation rental prospect, until I received my first thank you note and glowing review. The sense of reward in knowing that Louis and his family from Germany had the vacation of a lifetime in the apartment I provided was overwhelming. It quickly became a full-time enterprise, and I now take pride in bringing this historic beach community back to life with updated vacation rentals. My other business pursuits include automotive restoration, luxury car rentals, and tactical sporting goods supply. When I'm not working, I enjoy fishing and exploring with my 6 year old daughter.

Why they chose this property

The BEST LOCATION in the city, you couldn't pick a better vacation spot on the bay. Directly on the beach, on the best part of the beach (never too crowded like other beaches in VA), walking distance to upscale rooftop dining, bar and grill, and the longest fishing pier in North America, walking distance to convenience stores, close driving distance to all sorts of activities.

What makes this property unique

The best location available, historic vibes with modern convenience, and the beach is literally in your backyard.
