Visit before deployment
We found this place last minute so we could travel from Pa to say our see you layers to our Marine. Super clean, large place. Wonderful views of the ocean from the living room/kitchen windows. Everything we needed to get that family time in! If he ends up bk in port after deployment we’ll be back!!! Rick was great to work with, allowed us to move our bikes into the foyer area so they were safer. Thank you!!

Right on the beach - very cozy and easy.
My mom and I had a great stay at this beachfront condo during our trip. The location is superb, right on the beach and very accessible. It turned out to be a perfect spot for both relaxation and telecommuting. The condo is spacious with calming bedrooms that offer stunning views of the ocean through expansive windows. We appreciated the quiet beach atmosphere and the friendly locals. Additionally, the rental provides beach equipment which was very convenient. It's exceptionally dog-friendly, complete with treats and a designated feeding area for pets. Although the condo doesn’t have a balcony, it wasn’t an issue for us since the beach was just steps away. Overall, a fantastic vacation spot that catered to all our needs.

Willoughby Spit Big Blue Mermaid Suite
The Mermaid Suite was amazing. The view was amazing! So much room inside, with plenty of space for the 4 of us plus our dog. The bedrooms were very nice and nicely sized. The bathrooms were great plus you have your own laundry if needed. The kitchen was big and the layout was perfect. We loved our stay here at Willoughby Spit Big Blue! Very accommodating with lots of extras. It was wonderful to have a private beach area to relax and enjoy the surroundings.

My stay at big blue getaway on the bay
The house and area itself was very beautiful and felt super comfortable. This place provided us snacks when we first arrived and beach toys and equipment to use at the beach along with board games and more. Overall the floor we stayed in truly made us enjoy our stay at the beach even more.

About the host

Hosted by Cecilio Ricardo

Host profile image
Rick and I met in 2017 and from day one, we loved going out and travelling. In our first year of dating, we visited the Florida Keys, the ancient Bristlecone trees of the Inyo National Forest, Cartagena, Columbia and El Nido, Philippines. In addition to our love of travel, we found that we enjoyed bringing those experiences into our home. In the following years, especially during COVID, we attempted several DIY home projects and interior design upgrades to our home.

Halfway through the COVID years, we thought about where we could be happiest while we telework, and the beach was on the top of our list. Eventually, we found the perfect getaway in Willoughby Spit, Norfolk, VA where we blended our passion for travel, home projects and interior design into our home and our vacation rentals. And from the start, we have truly enjoyed sharing our beach experience with others and hope to do more in the future.

What makes this property unique

We love that this beach is tucked away almost private with calm waves. It's easy, comfortable and hassle free away from the crowds.
