The house was under a half mile to my son's wedding venue. That only would have made last weekend stay enjoyable. Add in great hosts accommodating some last minute requests and i was looking for the button to add additional stars to the ratings. Thank you again Susan!

House was just as described, even better! Comfortable beds, amazing master shower, no shortage of both bath and beach towels. Tastefully decorated and plenty of space for larger groups. Loved the view and having the hot tub/pool as options. Host thought of everything you could need to make your stay stress free and enjoyable. Thank you very much for entrusting us with your home. :)

Thank you for reviewing us!! I bet the Botanical Gardens were beautiful this time of year. I’m so glad you were comfortable and enjoyed your stay. Hope to host your future stays in the area.

Overall we had a great time at this property. The saltwater pool was beautiful and refreshing and the layout of the house worked well for us. There were some cleanliness issues and the house is a bit worn, but the hosts are very responsive and really wanted to make sure we had what we needed which we greatly appreciated.
We had a great time here! Check in/out was completely seamless. The property is very well appointed, kudos for a kitchen full of equipment too! The pool is wonderful and we were in every day. So much to view from the backyard, great bird watching, boat watching and more. The location was great for us without the heavy traffic and congestion that is down at the main beach area. Owners are fantastic and easy to connect with. We loved it here and want to return!

House was spacious, clean and comfortable. Pool and hot tub were amazing and views of water were great. Owners were friendly and welcoming. Location was perfect for quiet beaches and parks or busy board walk of Virginia Beach.

Laura, thank you for giving us a great review. You are right, the pictures don't show how roomy and comfy it is. I plan to get new photos soon so pop back in and take a look next month. Thanks for giving me that feedback!
Susan
Home was clean and spacious! The pool and hot tube were great! And the home supplying beach gear was definitely an added bonus! We didn’t need to contact the host, but they supplied easy and efficient ways to get ahold of them if need be!

We spent little time there. It was nice. But we could not believe that no bath soap was provided in the showers , let alone shampoo for 600 a night! Motel 6 has soap. If we did not have family down the street it would have been disastrous. Negatively affected our stay and opinion. Also the electrical is not to code and is dangerous.

Hi Gin,
Thank you for reviewing us. We always appreciate the feedback. I’m sorry you were unhappy about the shampoo. The arrival document you received clearly stated everything we provide and shampoo was not listed. Had you let me know you had a problem with that, I could have arranged for some to be delivered. I did ask you to let me know if you had any questions or concerns during your stay.
As for the electric, I can assure you our million dollar home is up to code and not dangerous. Let’s talk off line so you can share your concern in detail and if there is something which needs fixing we can get it done right away. Our goal is to provide a safe and comfortable experience for our guests.
Best,
Susan and Dan Beard

I’m so glad you enjoyed your time in Virginia Beach. Getting together with family is a special time and I’m so glad you chose our house for your stay. Come back soon!
Susan
All in all it’s a nice place to stay!The pool really is main attraction of the property! House was clean, but not spotless, also a few issues with doors, kitchen faucet, ants, and pool cleaning, all though owners sent the pool guy back for a re clean, and the exterminator, for the ants!
This was by far the best VRBO I have ever stayed at and wonderful location. Very comfortable for three couples plenty of room. The house was very clean and had all the amenities! We loved sitting out on the deck and using the hot tub and pool! I would love to stay there again if we ever come back to the area! The owners are very responsive and

We stayed for a week family of four. Check in was easy, kitchen has loads of pots, pans and cookware. Bed in primary is really comfortable. Gave 5 stars for all except cleanliness because kitchen has 2 trash cans both which were completely full when we arrived and bathroom sinks had hair in them and floors had several areas with debris. Outside is really great. Whole house has a nice setup. We would stay there again.

About the host
Hosted by Susan and Dan Beard
Hi, we are Susan and Dan Beard and we purchased this house in the summer of 2016. We have 2 other rental properties in Cape Hatteras which we rent on VRBO. This area is home to me, Dan is from Conesus Lake, one of the finger lakes in Western NY wine country.
Our Jobs have moved us around the Eastern US but we both have a love of the water and it's always been our dream to retire in this area. We hope you enjoy our house until we can retire here.
We firmly believe vacation time and time with family and friends is the most valuable time we have. We always strive to make your vacation stay at the Double Dolphin the best experience of your year. Our reviews echo this sentiment from vacationers like you. If you check out our reviews over the past 10 years on our other VRBO property, ( 685444) you will see our renters are quite satisfied with the way we have managed our properties over the past decade and we will strive for the same excellence with Double Dolphin.
Our reviews have been very good overall, and we have worked with many awesome groups and families; however our experiences have not all been good. We have run into trouble with renters hosting large parties against our house rules, damage and stolen property. Please keep in mind we are not a big corporation with unlimited funds or a hotel with a large staff. We are working people trying to provide great service and a nice place to vacation. Please help us by following house rules. Thank you.
Why they chose this property
This house is our dream realized. Once you see it you will understand why:-). Amazing water views, Blue and Great White Herons nest in the trees across the river bank. Our home is furnished with your comfort in mind. The kitchen is perfect for many cooks to work together. The living area has abundant comfortable seating areas. We have premium beds and bedding, a well stocked kitchen and our location is perfect for relaxing in a quiet area. We are removed from the chaos of the boardwalk but close enough for you to enjoy it with a short car ride. If you have ever had to endure the "party next door that blasts until 4 am" when you wanted to sleep, you will appreciate our best of both worlds location.
What makes this property unique
Our waterfront views and proximity to the beaches are priceless. Enjoy all Virginia Beach has to offer without the tourist crowds on the boardwalk. We are 45 minutes from Colonial Williamsburg and Busch Gardens. Its about 3 hours by car to Washington DC. We have First Landing State Park 2 miles away. For the military buffs we have the Norfolk Navel Base, home of Aircraft Carriers and warships aplenty and the Naval Air station in VA Beach houses amazing fighter jets. The local resturants are plentiful and cater to all price levels. We have lots of night life oftions within a 2 mile area. We know you will enjoy all they have to offer.
