Very nice property that made you feel at home. Super clean and had everything you needed. The host communicated promptly and had relatives on the island who welcomed us and made sure we we got to see the museum, even though it was closed! The island is unique to explore and learn about and its people are very friendly. Highly recommend whether a history buff, nature lover, or want some R & R.

Property is wonderful. It's a family home and they take excellent care of it. Be aware there are steep stairs to second floor, but deck and bay view sunsets are worth it. Bikes and kayaks are bonus.

Ideal accommodation on Tangier Island!

We had a wonderful stay on Tangier Island, Virginia, at this lovely home. From the moment we booked, the host was friendly, responsive, and incredibly easy to communicate with throughout the entire process. They truly thought of everything you might need during your stay, which made us feel comfortable and right at home. They provide a fantastic experience of Tangier. The property itself was spotless and very well cared for. It was clear that a lot of attention goes into keeping the home clean, welcoming, and ready for guests. One of our favorite parts was the view from the second-floor balcony it was such a peaceful place to relax and take in the beauty of Tangier Island. The decorations and furnishings throughout the home were perfect for our family. A special highlight of our stay was the delicious meal Mrs. Stuart cooked for us in the home. It was such a memorable and personal touch, and it made our experience even more special.We would absolutely recommend this rental to other families looking for a relaxing and enjoyable stay on Tangier Island. Between the wonderful host, the clean and comfortable home and the amazing home cooked meal, this was truly a stay to remember.

Thank you so much for this wonderful review. We're thrilled you had such a memorable stay on Tangier Island and that the communication, cleanliness, and thoughtful touches throughout the home made you feel right at home. The second-floor balcony view really is something special, and we love that it became one of your favorite spots to relax. It means a lot to know the home-cooked meal added such a personal highlight to your trip. Comments like these make all the care that goes into preparing the home for guests so worthwhile. We're grateful you took the time to share your experience and would love for other families to enjoy the same relaxing, comfortable stay you did.

Unforgettable first visit to Tangier

The house was tastefully decorated, it feels like a home. It has everything we needed, from kitchen essentials to kayaks, bicycles and even beach toys and towels!The upstairs porch is lovely. We ate our meals there. So relaxing! Ken was super nice and helped us figure out ferries and transportation to the house (it was our first time at Tangier). Mary welcomed us and made us a delicious bread and jelly. She also left beautiful flowers.Everyone was super friendly. Loved our stay and we hope to go back!

My visit to Tangier Island

My stay was the first time on the island anf it was a wonderful experience! I found it to be enjoyable, relaxing and educational. The island residents were friendly and the business owners were very welcoming and helpful. I had the pleasure of meeting the mayor of the island through his kind, welcoming offer of a ride during a walk that was becoming a challenge. Our hostess was attentive and gracious to us in an outstanding manner. We could not have asked for a more pleasant visit to Tangier Island!

Perfectly idyllic retreat on Tangier Island!

My family has rented 10's of properties in the US and Europe over the past 20 years, and Bella Vista is in the top 3. If you are interested in a deeper exploration of this fascinating island, we highly recommend you stay here. The home was recently beautiful renovated and decorated, with pretty much every need met for in home meal preparation. I guarantee you will not need much else! We also highly recommend meal service offered, which will complete this amazing experience for you! P.S. the host was VERY responsive to my numerous questions, responding quickly and courteously!

Out of the Ballpark!

This is our second stay at Bella Vista. Both our experiences have been stellar. This time, I brought more of my family with me, and they concur: the accommodations; the view from the upper veranda; the provision of equipment for outdoor fun--kayacks and bikes, basketball and Cornhole; a superbly outfitted kitchen, with simply lovely touches of welcome; the library; the proximity to the beach. The communication with Ken was more superb-level accommodation, including his connecting us to other tours and services on the island during our 4-day stay. AND, absolutely not to be missed--the catering option offered. Beyond yum! Tangier has gotten into my pores. I so hope to return . . . . Thank you, Ken and Family

Thank you, Marilyn! Your gracious analogy and comments make this recognition more valuable than any homerun. It was our greatest pleasure to host you and your family's getaway.

Wonderful weekend getaway!

We had a great stay here and the hosts definitely did their best to ensure so. They made certain we would have no issues getting to and from the house from the boat dock and were very helpful regarding which boats leave at what times from the 3 ports. The guest book was super informative with the local businesses and their hours. The house was very clean and welcoming and has lovely decorations! We never found ourselves wishing they had A, B, or C. The island gets very spotty reception so the opportunity to be away from the mainland for some disconnected R&R was so nice! If you haven’t done your research, be sure to bring lots of bug spray as the horse flies are no joke, but the hosts made sure to keep lots of entertainment in the house for when we needed a break from the outside. All in all it was a great stay and we will definitely be back!

Unforgettable Stay

Our week-long stay at the Bella Vista Cottage was an absolute delight! It is not only beautifully decorated and furnished but it is well stocked with kitchen essentials making the preparation of your "home cooked" meals a breeze. The deck overlooking the bay brought us together around morning coffee and evening desserts...and afforded front row seats to the incredible display of the July 4th fireworks. Our grandchildren loved their many bike-riding adventures around the island discovering nooks and crannies and stopping by the local ice cream shops for treats. The kayaks led to adventuring the channels and ditches leading into the harbor....and if that were not enough, the beach was just down the road and around the corner. Thank you for a wonderful stay. Thank you for your attentive care. This was truly a family vacation that we will never forget!
