Cute Hampton Getaway

Really enjoyed our time at this house. The view from the back porch was to die, the house was beautifully furnished and decorated. We will probably stay here again next time we are in the Hampton area.

Our son flew in from Nashville and our daughter flew in from Pittsburgh to meet us in Norfolk. This property is in Hampton just minutes from Buckroe Beach. It’s a great beach with lifeguards on duty till 6:00. This is the nicest house in the neighborhood and was just perfect for us.

Loved this beautiful home!

I can't say enough about this BEAUTIFUL home, so I'll just say we throughly enjoyed our stay here! I can't think of anything more Michelle could've done to make our stay any better. It was more than i expected and I highly recommend to anyone looking for a beautiful spot to call "home". 😊 10 stars from me and i would not hesitate to return for another stay. Just pack a bag and come on home. It's Home away from Home.

The property is beautiful and quiet

We enjoyed our time together at this lovely property. It was clean, comfortable, and provided a beautiful setting for our family to connect and create memories. There were a couple of misunderstandings during our stay, but they were resolved. One challenge for us was the restriction of no more than four cars in the driveway, which was difficult with a family our size. While we had a wonderful visit, this particular property may not be the best fit for us in the future.

Dear Future Guests, Thank you for considering the Beauty For Ashes Retreat for your upcoming stay. We’re honored to be a place where families come together to create lasting memories in a setting that offers both privacy and understated luxury. In light of previous guest feedback and to clarify for future travelers: ✅ Ample Parking – No Registration Required: We are proud to offer free, private parking with no vehicle registration required. Our expansive ½-acre property easily accommodates 8 vehicles in the driveway alone. Guests are also welcome to request parking on the grass, weather permitting. We simply ask that parking on the lawn be avoided during wet conditions to protect the grounds. We understand how important ease and flexibility are—especially for larger groups or multigenerational family gatherings—and we’re happy to offer a property that supports that kind of experience. Should you have any questions or special requests in advance of your arrival, we’re just a message away and always happy to accommodate when possible. We look forward to welcoming you soon, – The BFA Retreat Team

Hampton University Graduation/Mother’s Day

I am searching for words to describe our experience…amazing, wonderful, spectacular. Everything about this property is special! We celebrated our son’s graduation as well as Mother’s Day and there is nothing more I could have wanted or asked for. The host provided the best of everything. Her attention to detail is impeccable. It was the icing on the cake for our special event, we all wished we could stay longer. This was my first vrbo rental, however, those in attendance who have rented places elsewhere were captivated. The location was perfect, we were close to the University but still able to see the bay from the property. I would recommend BFA a thousand times💕

Absolutely Amazing

I was taken back. This property was beyond amazing. From the beautiful views to the comfortable beds to the amazing kitchen. I spent my evenings on the top deck relaxing.❤❤❤ The pictures were nice, the reality was overwhelmingly past our expectations. There isn't an amenity that wasn't available. Our host was on point within minutes for any questions I had. My older parents are HARD to please as they are set in their ways. They both fell in love and mom even wanted to extend our stay. I will absolutely be in contact for future visits.

Perfect for your next work retreat!

I booked this location for a work retreat and planning session for myself and three team members. Our first impression walking through the house was WOW! The house was breathtaking and laid out perfectly, from charging stations connected to every piece of furniture; to a long center table that seats 8-9 people for group work sessions; to four different sections on the main floor that was used for breakout sessions. Everything we needed was right there at our fingertips. The accommodations were top-notch and included bathrobes, face masks, and socks at the entrance for guests to feel comfortable right when they entered the house. Lastly, the views are spectacular! Waking up every morning to the sun reflecting off the water or ending the day on deck, this house was the perfect setting to work, relax, connect, and recharge. We’ll be back…SOON!

Falsely advertised

The home was very nice and clean booked it paid over $2600 was listed as a three bedroom not tire had a bed set up in Master closet bs. When we checked in the host had a list of charges one was additional &160 to use outdoor grill. Home has a boat dock there was no mention of a charge on listing we were contacted asking for additional $500 to dock our boat more bs. This host is a scammer. Would not deal with her again.

This guest did not notify us of their intention to bring a 26ft boat until after check-in. The boat caused damage to our property. All other guests notified us of their intentions not only to bring a boat but even extra cars for parking.

Our family typically stays in VRBOs for our vacations every year. I typically lower my expectations when arriving at a new place and really concentrate on the positives as opposed to dwelling on the negatives. No need to lower expectations for this beautiful place. It was so clean and updated with wonderful amenities around the house. I almost walked into multiple windows because they were so clean. Felt like we were staying at a close friend’s house and not a rental. So homey and comfortable. Amazing wildlife all around in the peaceful mornings and awesome sunsets. Wonderful memories for our family.

My wife and I stayed 9/17 - 9/24 of 2022. The house is fantastic, is in a quiet location, with easy driving access to downtown and the surrounding areas. Michelle was great, helpful, and easy to communicate with. She provided many complimentary snacks, bottled water, etc. This place certainly earns a 5.0-star rating in all aspects.

OMG!! This is the Best kept Secret near the Virginia Beach/Norfolk area.....with an hour less drive and everything imaginable...From the spacious beautifully decorated private house(equipped with everything) and lot.... to the walk out dock equipped with benches , grill and view of the Salt Pond Marina. The Beach is walkable and we loved the water at "BuckRoe" Beach because it looked the same color as the ocean without the rough waves..Perfect for kids just learning to swim. We especially loved the beautiful sunrise and the ability to see water from every aspect of the house and great hang out "DECKS". Cant say enough about this venue....the kitchen is so amazing you will just want to cook and Cozy Up.....IT WAS THE PERFECT PLACE TO UNWIND"
