We had a wonderful stay! Check-in and check-out were super easy, which made everything simple. The location was perfect — just minutes from Busch Gardens and close to plenty of activities. Being only about an hour from Virginia Beach was a huge bonus. The place was clean, comfortable, and a great home base. Highly recommend!

About the host

Hosted by Ryan

Host profile image

Hi! I'm your host Ryan. I've been to Europe, Central America and SouthEast Asia. I'm hopeful to visit Africa and South America one day. When I'm home in Williamsburg I occupy my time with outdoor activities like riding mountain bikes, motorcycles, camping, paddling on the creeks and home improvement projects. My core values are based on the golden rule. I am respectful, clean and easy to get along with and last but not least I look forward to meeting you at your discretion of course. Cheers!

Why they chose this property

Initially I chose this property because its centrally located in Williamsburg. I lived in the home for 5 years and worked hard to transform this place into a modern travelers home. This is my first and only vacation home. I live and work nearby. I love living here and welcome travelers to come and enjoy this place I call home. I like how I can get around town by bike or walking. My dogs(chihuahuas) Sprocket and Chico love chasing the squirrels around the College of William & Mary and strolling down Duke of Gloucester aka DOG street. Since I have lived in the area. 5 breweries have opened as well as excellent restaurants nearby. There are 3 wineries close by. The Williamsburg Winery is the closest to the home. I hope you choose to stay at my place and enjoy everything Williamsburg has to offer.

What makes this property unique

The neighborhood is very nice and quiet most of the time. I love my neighbors in our tight knit community. We watch out for one another and share veggies in the summertime. They will wave and welcome you to the neighborhood during your stay.
