We had a family reunion with our children.your home was a perfect fit for us. I’m keeping all of the info on this house because we can’t wait to go back. Thank you so much!!
We loved the house. It had so much room for all of us to spread out if we wanted, and a fabulous den for us to all gather together too. The location gave us access to everything; all the places we wanted to go. We had a wonderful stay. Miss Ronni was fantastic to work with to get the arrangements taken care of! We absolutely loved it!

I am glad that you enjoyed your stay with us! We would love to host you again!
Forbes Fever is just as listed. The property although pet friendly was extremely clean. No evidence of previous fur babies. Our two small dogs accompanied us and the fenced in yard was a huge asset for them. The home is very spacious with an old school feel. We absolutely loved it !!Communication with the host was easy. Speaking with the property manager and the maintenance man, it was easy to see how much this property means to them. Both were extremely helpful and informative. We felt more like family as opposed to renters. This will definitely be a future consideration for our family in its entirety.
Great location, well stocked with everything we needed. There were only 2 of us, so plenty of space. Unfortunately we arrived at a bad time, tropical storm followed by a Nor'easter. The accommodations were very comfortable and if you had to be shut in for 7 days, this was the right place.
This place is fantastic, perfect for large families with teens, and I'm already planning my next visit. The updated bathrooms and main spaces are a lovely touch, considering the property's age.
The folks who manage Forbes Fever are unbelievably competent and kind. Ronni from Rentals on the Ocean called us a few days ahead of our scheduled arrival to warn us about a winter storm that was forecast to arrive on our check-in day. She let us come down early and check in without charging us any extra. Then another storm was forecast for our departure day and so we departed two days early and Ronni gave us a refund for that, even though we told her it wasn't necessary since we arrived early. Incredible empathy and kindness. The place was fantastic - old school Nags Head, baby. Yet all the modern conveniences one expects on the OBX in 2026.

Thank you! I love the picture's and I am very happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay with us!
Had a great stay and your property. Home was very accommodating to a party of 11. Kitchen was small but well stacked with anything you needed. The one towel per person did not think was a great idea. Location was fantastic and home was clean upon our arrival. The outdoor porches in front and back had beautiful composite decking, as well as there outdoor dining tables. We stayed 4 nights and had zero issues. That’s always a plus. I would recommend staying here and would stay again myself.
We have returned from a great family vacation in this ocean front home. Lots of room for the family to spread out, kitchen very well equipped. Spaces to dine on both nice porches.

Thank you for staying with us Stephen! Since your stay we have done some major improvements and upgrades to the house. Your family and you should come back and see them.
Multi-gen family vacay-4 generations and we all were very comfortable. Elevator is perfect for grandparents and great-grandparents. House was very clean. It’s an all wood interior which is dark. Pool is fantastic for kids.

So happy to hear you enjoyed your stay. We are currently remodeling the back deck to be more useful. We will be adding a table/chairs with umbrella in the gazebo area. Come back and check out our improvements.

Great place and location. One thing to note is it’s a tight fit for a motorized wheelchair in the elevator

In 1958, she became the first female physician to open a private OB/GYN practice in Newport News, VA.
Dr. Forbes was the first woman to be selected to the board, and the first female president, of the Boys and Girls Club of the Peninsula, where she was honored as a member of the “Wall of Fame” – the first and only woman to be so honored in the club’s 65-year history.
Sarah was often honored for her contributions to the organizations she served, and the community she loved. Among her many awards were the Virginia Center for Inclusive Communities’ Humanitarian Award in 2007, and the Medallion Award which is the highest recognition presented by The Boys and Girls Club of America to volunteers.
She served as president of several community organizations that include the Virginia Peninsula Academy of Medicine, the Newport News Chapter of the American Cancer Society, the Newport News Medical Society, and the Peninsula Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.
Her generosity benefited many organizations, including the Cancer Society, the Newport News Medical Society, the Peninsula Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, Family Planning Council, First Baptist Church of Newport News, the Peninsula SPCA, Mariners’ Museum, Riverside Hospital, and Christopher Newport University.
