About The Area
To make your taste buds sing, stop by one of the many ViBe Neighborhood restaurants on our block. Java Surf, Commune, Stockpot, Crocs, Prosperity Kitchen, Baby Izakaya, Beach Bully BBQ, Barrel 17, Hearth and Esoteric are some favorites. Housed in a 1920s-era building on the Virginia Beach Historical Registry, Esoteric is serving up European-influenced fare using local ingredients, many of them sourced from its on-site garden, which it shares with Commune and Roost Flowers. The outdoor seating is draped in string lights and overlooks the garden. How's that for knowing where your food came from?
While you can find all manners of artwork within the quaint shops and 7 different coffeehouses that comprise the area, the ViBe District is a work of art in and of itself. Look around and enjoy the bright murals throughout the neighborhood, most of which were done by local artists, located on most of the local businesses in the area. Take the ViBe Mural Walking Tour, an easy, one-mile walking tour, to capture shots for an unbeatable photo op.
In addition to great food and works of art, this neighborhood is also one of our favorite spots for shopping that is uniquely Virginia Beach. For custom, hand-painted signs and pin-striping, check out Igor's Custom, a local favorite, whose work is found all around town. His designs are done the old-school way, so you won't find any computers in his studio. Located next door to Igor's, in a strip of quaint studios and coffee shops known as The Alley, North End Bag Company features handmade leather bags, using a variety of multi-era vintage sewing machines. From when the design is sketched to when the sewing machine whirs to a stop, no detail is overlooked in building these timeless and sturdy bags.
Local artists, crafters, leather smiths, sign painters, coffee masters, culinary arts, distilled spirits, surf and skate culture, fashion and accessories, beauty and lifestyle brands, health and fitness, farmer's markets, live music, performing arts and more… Find it all in our neighborhood—The ViBe Creative District nestled within just three walking blocks from the oceanfront.

This was a cute house. It was in a great location for our needs. There were plenty of restaurants and shops within walking distance as well as the beach.
I used to live in VB and still come back for business often. This was a great stay, close to work, family, and fun. Easy check in. The unit was accurate to the pictures listed. It was nice to enjoy our free time in walking distance to everything fun. Perfect place to stay to visit the beach with a dog. We hope to stay again!
Was a great little place for my daughter and I to get away and enjoy the beach. The vibe area is great. Very safe! Short walk to the beach and shops are all around you. Alot of local businesses. The place was nicer than the pictures and everything we needed was there. I will stay again!
Roomy, well-equipped upstairs unit ideal for individual or a couple. Couple of minor issues--pull on the door handle to get the lock to open or close--that didn't detract from the property. View of the beachfront fireworks from the big deck.
We struggled numerous times with the key lock on the door. It’s a nice place to stay, but they need to cater to people that travel. Could have some beach towels. Needs more kitchen, utensils, and pots and pans for people that cook.
Just thought I would share that information instead of complaining. We Overall, had a great time in Virginia Beach.
Good except initial difficulty getting door open. Upper pane of bedroom window wouldn’t stay shut letting in cold air.

Response from VrboOwner on 14 Mar, 2024
Hi Dan, thanks for letting me know about the window. I just submitted a work order to have that taken care of. And I am glad we worked out the way to enter the keycode successfully. We've worked very hard to receive five stars - we deep cleaned, purchased new decor and furnishing, purged all things from this house to declutter and make more comfortable. We steamed the kitchen and bathroom tile through a professional company. I am disappointed to see we were worth four stars given the beyond we went for the user keypad help, the internet repair (of which we have updated the equipment and installed a completely new router) and general house attention to detail overall. Please come back and see us again soon so we can prove our five star worthiness!
This property met our every need. We were totally comfortable within a few hours of arriving. Two minor problems were immediately fixed by the property managers within a short time of us notifying them.
We used the house as a home base and day tripped all over the Virginia coast. Lots of restaurants within walking distance and grocery stores within 5 minutes driving. Despite being near the boardwalk with a brewery across the street, the home was quiet and peaceful. Thanks to the owners for sharing!
Good little place to stay, lots of local eating nearby, brewery right across the street which closes at 10pm so no late night wake up at closing time, we sat on the deck and watched the open mike night. Badass coffee was a good early morning walk with the dogs, best coffee around and you can’t beat Java surf for breakfast. My only concern would be that there is no way to separate the upstairs and Downstairs outside spaces if both rentals have pets, we never had an issue but we used our dog crate to block the top of the stairs just in case. We had a great time, the rental team was quick to respond to our questions and we would recommend this property.

Perfect location with some disturbing cleanliness issues
The location and neighborhood for this location were perfect for our stay and we loved the convenience. However, we found dark mold in the air conditioning units upon arrival. We contacted the managers and they said they’d send someone to clean it, but they never did. We also found numerous cockroach-like insects through the property indoors. Great for location, not so great for cleanliness.
