Very Good

The AC does not work.The portable AC units do not work with casement windows.Makes for a challenging sleep.Location is nice.Being your own sharp knives, extra garbage bags, extra toilet paper, kitchen towels and washcloths, and bathroom hand towels as these are not included. I can’t stress enough how HOT it is in the upstairs rooms (only place to sleep). 88 degrees on second floor and no clue with the third as there was not a thermostat up there. We stayed here halfway for both on our trip to SC and return home. So HOT, it’s unbearable. Previous reviews say it’s ongoing since 2022.

The pictures on the Vrbo site didn't match what we actually received. The A/C didn't work on the 2nd and 3rd floors. The were no box springs on any of the beds. I felt like our host was giving us the run around. We were here from Jun 26th to July 5th. The last time I heard anything from the host was June 30th. Too much money was paid(2500) for this place to lack basic amenities in this Virginia heat
This was a great stay. The location was nice and quiet. Loved the ability to walk to several eateries and bars. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Had a great time and the owners were very responsive.
Stayed here with friends for a convention. Wonderful accommodations and a great place for us to all stay! We were close to downtown which was perfect for us. Would definitely stay here again!

The property was in an excellent location with being close to downtown and local sites. I was disappointed with the condition of the property. After overlooking the property before bringing our belongings in, we noticed the air conditioning was not properly working upstairs. Once we turned the unit on, the unit upstairs never reached above 76 in a 2-day period. There were 2 stand-up units that was placed in two of the bedrooms upstairs. The window in the upper bedroom would never shut which defeated the purpose of having the hose hanging outside the window and the heat entering the room. There was also a broken sofa in the upstairs bedroom that I notified the host with photos. There was no response from the host.Also, there were no basic amenities provided such as paper towels or extra toilet paper. There were written instructions to place dishes in the dish washer but there was no liquid to go in the machine, hence the watered-down dish detergent was used that was provided by the host.
The home was exactly how it’s pictured! Great communication with the hosts, they’re very welcoming! Great stay and will recommend this home to anyone.

Thank you Niyah for staying at our vacation home. It was a pleasure hosting you and we're glad you enjoyed your stay! We look forward to having you again.
The rental process was easy and the owners made themselves available, if needed. We were more than satisfied with our accommodations. We hope that this property is available the next time that we visit Virginia.

Perfectly situated for our needs, lovely house for our family. House has a few minor maintenance updates needed, but nothing major and the host was very quick to respond to questions. We would totally stay again if we need a house in the area while attending another event. Very close to restaurants and things to do. Lovely, quiet historic downtown street.
Lovely townhouse. No issues. Host very nice and communicated well. Walking distance to many things. Ferry to Norfolk, church and downtown restaurants and bars.
A group of us traveled in from Pittsburgh to catch a show at the pavilion. The town is quaint and quiet but has a lot of food/drink options and is very walkable. The pavilion was very nice as well. The home was clean and had plenty of space for us to be there for the short times that we were not out enjoying the town. The hosts were easy to communicate with and were proactive in making our experience a good one. Thank you!
The property was modern, clean, and lovely. Very comfortable. Quaint historic neighborhood has a lot of charm. 2 bedrooms are on the second floor with the master on the 3rd. Great value for visiting nearby Norfolk. Parking was always available in the lot across the street, never full even when getting back to the house late at night. I would stay there again.
