The house was perfectly maintained. Kitchen and bathrooms were stocked with the basic. Easy access to the property. We weren’t able to enjoy the pool because of the weather, but looking at it and the stream behind the property gave off peaceful vibes.Our host returned all text messages promptly. Comfortable beds. The kitchen, dining area and living room space allows for interaction with each other as we prepared dinner, played games and watched TV. The sun deck over the back porch was a refuge for me when things got crazy (playing UNO is loud and boisterous) I went up and enjoyed the warmth of the sun.
This was a great place for our family to relax, swim, enjoy the beach and use Greg’s little boat to explore the area. Greg was very responsive in answering our questions and responding to our needs. We highly recommend it for a wonderful getaway.
My family and I had a great long weekend here to celebrate a family wedding. The house was exactly as pictured and equipped with everything we needed for our stay and more! The communication and check-in process with Greg was one of the most seamless experiences I’ve had with an owner. Although we didn’t get to use the pool because of the sudden rainstorms, it was still very nice to look at. Will definitely look to rebook in the future for visits to the area!
The property was accurately described. Very well maintained and a great location. The property owner came down to meet us meet week and ensure we had everything we needed.
This property is in a great location to both the beach & local restaurants. It was very clean & had everything my family needed to enjoy their stay during my son’s wedding weekend. It was too chilly for the pool but the boys jumped in anyway! The only thing of concern I would note is the indoor winding staircase, inside what is the front entrance, that leads to the kitchen & upstairs bedrooms. It’s difficult to traverse with full hands so I recommend entering the home, and sending someone up to unlock the upstairs door & everyone loading in via the southern stairs. 10/10 would recommend!
The house was very clean, cozy, with things to do! The owner of the house was very communicative, responded quickly, and very helpful with community information. Would stay here again in a heart beat.
We enjoyed celebrating a graduation and the stay at Greg's place was perfect. Greg met us on our first day and gave us a walk through the entire house! He was very nice and very personable (thanks Greg)! The house was just as pictured and we all loved our stay!! We will be back again!!
House was great. Good location within walking distance to beach. Pool table was a favorite of the group. Communication with Greg was easy and efficient. Would definitely visit again.
The beach house was great! In Sandbridge, there are many beach houses, with some fancier than others. This house is in a great location, right on the end with a dock and access to the quieter side of Sandbridge beach. The owner was very responsive with any requests or questions that we had about the house. There were some ants that were pesky but we resolved the issue (it happens, especially at this time of year). The pictures really tell the story. It is not the newest beach house on the block, but accommodating, remote, and a nice stay for a vacation. We enjoyed it very much! Definitely would stay here again!
Our family enjoyed our stay at Honucove. It was our first time for Sandbridge. House was large enough for our family of 13. Home was clean and had everything we needed. Swimming pool was enjoyed for late afternoon and evenings. Walk wasn’t that long to beach. We enjoyed a quiet neighborhood and plenty of room on beach. It was a Great. Thanks Greg
The description of the property was accurate. Nice house, nice pool, nice location. Most of the property was very clean. Bathrooms were relatively new and clean. Furniture and beds were in good shape. Nice neighborhood and a short walk to the beach. Our family likes birding and nature and the nearby wildlife refuge was very worthwhile. The beach was beautiful and uncrowded. Good places to eat only twenty minutes away. Overall we had a great visit.
We loved the place so clean the pool was great.We had a great time and there was plenty of fun places to go.The beach was beautiful.Would recommend this place to everyone
A week’s stay in a well purposed vacation home. It for us perfectly. 5 minute walk to a quiet, family beach. The house had all the necessary beach items for a fun stay! Highly recommend
Our family found this home to be the perfect place for a family getaway. Whether you wanted to go to the beach, hang at the house by the pool, or fish off the dock, there was something for everyone. The house was clean and well equipped. The host was very responsive and welcoming. With only a 5 minute walk to the beach, it was the perfect location.

About the host
Hosted by Greg Owens
I grew up in Oklahoma and my wife grew up in Maryland both loving the water no matter if it was ocean, river, lake, or pool. We have always thought of Sandbridge as that special place to get away from it all yet keep every family member happy with various activities and wanted to share all of this with others on their vacation.
Why they chose this property
In addition to the local attractions, Honu Cove offers RARE direct access to Crystal Lake and Lake Tecumseh via the canal behind the house for excellent fresh water fishing. We provide both a canoe and jonboat so exploring is fun, convenient, and without additional expense. Honu Cove offers more than just a beach vacation.
What makes this property unique
The north end of Sandbridge is a very quiet family friendly seaside village for a relaxing and slow paced vacation. Watching dolphin pods swim past, ghost crabs crawl on the beach, and various birds fly overhead is a daily occurrence when at the beach. Back Bay National Wildlife Refuge is located at the south end of Sandbridge and contains over 9,200 acres of beach, dunes, woodland, and marsh. Tram tours leave from the Visitor Center and take you on a guided tour through the refuge and into False Cape State Park. A fishing pier is located at Little Island Park to enjoy the view or fish in the ocean. If you wish to explore beyond Sandbridge, you are within a 25 minute drive to Virginia Beach attractions such as the Virginia Aquarium & Marine Science Museum, Ocean Breeze Waterpark, Motorworld Thrill Park, Hunt Club Farm Petting Zoo and the Virginia Beach boardwalk with water sports, shops, and restaurants. Additional attractions include the Virginia Zoo in Norfolk, outlets in Norfolk, Colonial Williamsburg, and Busch Gardens in Williamsburg.
