Great location. Excellent view. The F22 Raptors were cool to see. Not so loud. Host was great. The place does not have a full size oven, so plan accordingly. Beds were comfy.

We loved our stay here! The property is gorgeous, the rooms are bright and spacious, and the kitchen had everything we needed for a week long stay. The kids really loved being able to spend time in the back yard looking at the water and watching the jets fly overhead. Would definitely recommend and will rebook whenever we’re back in town!

Sojourn is an absolutely wonderful company to rent from. This is our second time with them and they never disappoint. Not only was the home spotless, their communication is top notch. We enjoyed the amazing view of Back River right from the yard. The home was very comfortable and provided all the essentials. While the kitchen was stocked, it could use some additional items such as a colander, more bowls and platters. My only real critique would be regarding the outside property grounds. The driveway could use some maintenance to fix the potholes and cut back the overgrown brush/trees so you don’t scrape your vehicle. There is also an abundance of overgrown bushes surrounding the home which make it difficult to get to the bayside. These items aside, the home is very comfortable and met all of our needs.

Cute waterfront home

We enjoyed our stay at this quaint and stylish little getaway. It is equipped the basic essentials and very clean. It’s nice to have some serenity near the water but be only 15 minutes away from shopping and restaurants.

Good trip

The house was well taken care of and the view is beautiful, my family had an amazing time and our dog really enjoyed the backyard. The hosts were quick and efficient when we had questions about the house and the house is close to many attractions like Bush Garden. Overall we had an amazing time and would definitely come back.

The home was very nice, clean & comfortable. Property manager was great with communication and addressing small concerns. Wished the back doors were a little more secure and there was an oven. But we had no safety concerns at all.Thanks for a comfortable place to stay and we had a good stay.

Cozy spot with a beautiful view

We picked this location given friends live nearby, but it exceeded expectations. Beautiful view, incredible sunrise, and the kids loved the fireplace. Hadn't realized the kids bunk room doesn't have a door to close, but luckily noise wasn't a problem.

Cozy family gathering

We loved our stay at Aviator’s Dream! My husband and I enjoyed a weekend with our daughter and her husband as well as our other daughter. The house was so cute and cozy. The backyard was perfect for enjoying the sunny weather. We loved being so close to the water. Our dog enjoyed the water as well! We walked in the Grandview Nature Preserve and also visited Buckroe Beach. Both were great beach walks. Thank you for a lovely stay!

Nice stay

Nice quiet place. Beautiful sunrise and sunset. Only downfall kitchen has no oven, but we made use of the charcoal grill provided. Bring your own BBQ tools. We like to cook kitchen lacking great pots, pans and utensils. We made do. Had a nice supply of spices and Harris Teeters is near by. The planes are not a big deal amazing to watch. Loved visiting Grandview. Amazing beach. Lots of wildlife. We would definitely stay again.

Perfect little getaway!!

A group of us (family) got together from 2 states to visit a cousin and her husband who had just been stationed at Langley. The location to them was PERFECT! It was a great way for the rest of us to enjoy our stay and maximize our time together. It’s a little bit of a drive to the historic sights but that wasn’t a big problem. We LOVED sitting in the backyard watching the sun come up in the mornings before getting the day started and watching the sun go down after a long day. The house itself was cute, it has its quirks but was very clean and extremely comfortable. We highly recommend!!!

Absolutely beautiful

This is the reservation to get if you want to stay in Virginia. We absolutely loved it. It does not hurt that it has the most beautiful backyard with the most incredible view of the water. It is so calming and it felt like we were at a yoga retreat. The house itself is beautiful, and I will say that the furniture is a little bit older, but to me that was part of the charm. The beds were very comfortable and the kitchen was wonderful. We don't have any complaints. This was wonderful for our family and I cannot recommend it any more. For the price, it is an incredible deal and the Jets that flew over, mostly in the morning, were not a bother at all but quite cool to watch. If I ever come back to Virginia, this is the place I would choose. Just phenomenal. Great location with beautiful wildlife all over and it was just incredible. We loved it!
