The property is perfect for a small family in a quiet neighborhood. The property is described as a 2 bed 2 bath home. The description would be more helpful if it said one bedroom, bath, kitchen, kiving room and outdoor living space was all upstairs with one bath and laundry down. My sister and I sometimes travel with our. 88 year old mother and she would not have been able to navigate tjhis property at all. it also wouldn’t hurt to say that this property was not handicap accessible, nor would it of been toddler friendly with direct access to the stairs or just getting a baby up and down multiple times a day. Over all a great property for the right group, close enough to the historic triangle.

Great property for our family reunion visit to Urbanna! Owner was communicative and gave great directions (trash is now Tuesday and Friday though, not Monday, and no town recycling). Nice, quiet street with water views and easy access to downtown Urbanna and the town pool. The second bedroom is down the stairs and off the garage, it does have a connected bathroom but fyi for families coming with smaller children. Unit was clean, organized, and had the main essentials. The pullout sofa is right next to the main bedroom upstairs. Great deck views, nice small yard to be out in, and easy access to Jamestown and Yorktown. Check out Something Different for dinner, Urbanna Pearl for oysters like you’ve never had, Wooden Pickle for breakfast, and visit the town museum to see the Mitchell Map, one of the earliest maps of the eastern US! Great visit, will be back again!

Ginya Visit to see 92yo Mom

It was just as advertised. Thanks for recommending Something Different and the Merroir restaurants. We missed them other visits. Also enjoyed The Wooden Pickle and Small Town Burger. Thanks for arranging for pool pass. It was definitely hot enough. We couldn't figure out how to use our Netflix. No matter. It was a mostly unplugged weekend and the leisurely pace was most welcome.Thanks for hosting us!

Great small town property

My kids and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Blue Tango over Columbus Day weekend. With Kings Dominion and Busch Gardens as our ultimate destinations, this was a perfect midway point to make for a short drive to each park. Although we didn't spend much time in and right around Urbanna, the town was very quaint with beautiful views of the river. Look forward to coming back again soon.

A Perfect Place

Blue Tango in Urbanna, Virginia was the perfect place for our stay. The house was lovely, the neighborhood was beautiful, and it was just a short drive to any place we wanted to be in this lovely little yachting town. We enjoyed the shops, but were very sorry we didn't have time to eat in all the tempting restaurants.
