The Fish House
The Fish House is a beautiful and comfortable place to stay! My husband & I found it to be quite spacious for 2 people. The location was perfect; we were there from Sunday-Wednesday, and it was quiet and peaceful the whole time. It was conveniently located to Irvington, White Stone and Kilmarnock and all those towns have to offer! The A/C is brand new, and very effective against the Virginia heat and humidity. The kitchen had all the essentials for preparing food, and we appreciated the coffee & tea supplies that were provided! The bed is comfortable and we slept well. We spent a lot of time on the deck overlooking the water. As a bird watcher, it was so relaxing to view the local wildlife with the binoculars provided. Michelle is a wonderful host! Her instructions are clear, and checking in and out was easy. She also answered all our questions promptly, and thoroughly. If you are looking for a quiet, peaceful getaway on the Northern Neck, stay at The Fish House!

Comfy 1BR w pond view Kingsmill
Super safe and beautiful gated neighborhood. Gorgeous setting. Quick drive to all things Williamsburg. Thanks so much, Lisa!

Poseidon - 120 Year Old Beach Cottage with Sauna
Location, location, location! Being right on the beach and having such a beautifully cultivated outdoor space was so nice! Really enjoyed amenities like the outdoor shower, beach chairs, and the hot tub.

Cozy Waterfront Apartment with Pickleball Court
My adult son said this was the best airbnb pick I'd made over the years! We rested AND had fun switching between pickleball, basketball, putting and kayaking. Kitchen was the perfect size and had all the basics for cooking a full meal. Beds were comfortable, roomy and every room had great views of the water and property. We loved everything about our stay

Yorktown on the Waterfront
Anne's place was just spectacular! Perfect for 2 couples as our home-base to explore Williamsburg, Yorktown and Jamestown. The high end furnishings are beautiful. The patio, yard and lake view were wonderful. We enjoyed the theater room each night. Thank you for a great vacation.

Bayview Bliss
Lovely setting and apartment! Host acknowledged our anniversary stay with a personal note and thoughtful details. We enjoyed using the kayaks. The space was clean and welcoming. The setting is so peaceful... lovely to hear the many birds and the sound of the water lapping against the rocks. The internet connection was slow, but not a detriment to our weekend. We thoroughly enjoyed the Front Porch Coffee House (Kilmarnock) and the Sandpiper Restaurant (White Stone) as well.

Waterfront Efficiency with Incredible Views!
Amy and Andy are excellent hosts! I had so much fun. I was just a little disappointed in the wi-fi/internet connection but Andy is doing his best to correct it. This is my second time staying here and I will be coming back! I highly recommend it!

Boutique Apt @ the beach w/Ocean facing Deck‼️
I would definitely stay here again! My absolute favorite part was the deck outside. It had so much seating and a table with an umbrella. The home was lovely. The queen size bed was comfy. The space on the side of the bed with the wall is awkward because the intake vent is there, and that vent is also loud and annoying. Just wear earplugs! We added two of the wooden tray tables from the closet as night stands. The house is clean except the floor, which I'd imagine is hard to sweep or mop because the boards have shifted, making the floor uneven with cracks through out. So the floor felt and looked a bit dirty, but you're by the beach with sand, so eh not a problem.

Beach Heron Retreat
This beautiful home is truly a gem! We mostly enjoyed the screened in porch with comfy furniture, ceiling fans, and a fantastic view. The quiet, peacefulness was a great escape. We didn't want to leave! Thank you Ashley for sharing your gorgeous home with us and for being so attentive to our needs. You put a lot of thought into creating a special experience for your guests and it shows. We hope to return soon.

Severnly Pointe Cottage Waterfront Retreat
This is the second time I've stayed at Tamara's place and I would absolutely stay again. The place is exactly what you expect and they have excellent instructions. Wonderful people, peaceful location, and you always know what to expect.

Amazing Gem! Riverfront, Location, Sunsets, Quite
The location was tucked away in a quiet neighborhood overlooking the York River. The house was exceptionally clean and they had everything we needed for our 3 night stay. The Bluetooth speaker was a nice bonus for listening to music while overlooking the river from the sitting room. We had a minor issue with the plumbing, but they quickly reacted and it did not interfere with our trip. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would gladly book again in this same location.

Welcome to this Waterfront Home with Amazing Views
We had a wonderful visit to Ashley’s beautiful home in Gloucester. The house and property were spacious and beautiful. You will LOVE your stay. Ashley is an outstanding Superhost.

York River | Chesapeake Bay Bliss: Fishing Retreat
Our family of four loved staying here. Our 10-year-old delighted in crabbing and playing board games (chess and Battleship). Our 7-year-old desperately wanted to splash around the York River even though it was freezing in April. The local recommendations were much appreciated and the impact of staring at a horizon line cannot be overestimated.

Camp Rappahannock - Deltaville Waterfront Living
We had an amazing stay at Camp Rappahannock to celebrate our mother’s 90th birthday and a family thanksgiving. The house is thoughtfully outfitted and the kitchen had everything we needed to cook our feast. The location was just perfect, beautiful setting and so relaxing. We hope to visit again!

Blue Heron WaterSide
Of my many Airbnb stays, Laura’s comes up with the very best. Her home is lovely, inside and out, with a lot of fun activities to choose from. Located on a beautiful creek opening to wide water gave us a chance to explore in her kayaks and paddle board. Rainy weather meant indoor board games, reading etc on the beautiful protected porch. The kitchen had all sorts of amenities for cooking. Plenty of bedrooms for sleeping in the peaceful atmosphere. I can’t wait to return there!

"No Bad Days" in this Fabulous Beachhouse w/ Dock!

Relaxing Retreat Along the Bank of the James River
Very nice place peaceful. We enjoyed the balcony. The place was close to everything. We really enjoyed our stay wle will definitely be back. The steps where a little to much but great overall.

Beachfront Getaway, Pet Friendly, Mermaid Suite
What an amazing stay! I've never been satisfied with an Airbnb, the photos always are so much nicer than the reality - but Big Blue was actually even better than advertised! Merlyn's communication prior to arrival made things very easy. Accessing the unit was simple, and I felt safe with the self-locking doors. The unit was clean and so comfortable, with many personal touches - I instantly felt at home. I was overjoyed when I arrived and toured the unit. Really exceeded my expectations which was such a different feeling than all the other Airbnb I've rented over the years. The beach access was tidy and pretty, the gym and beach gear a nice touch, and the foot wash station was appreciated after my morning walks with the dog. I really can't say enough great things about my stay here. Hosts were friendly and helpful every step of the way. We mostly spent our time traveling around the area from VA Beach to OBX so I can't speak much about Norfolk/Ocean View. I would def rent Big Blue again.

The Port - Large condo on Mason Avenue!
This is truly a hidden gem in Cape Charles! We recently stayed for the long holiday weekend and loved every minute of our trip. The apartment is absolutely beautiful and the location couldn't be better. We enjoyed having the ability to walk around town and have stores and restaurants so close by. The host was friendly and helpful and quick to respond to any questions we had. We look forward to staying here again!

Marriott's Manor Club Ford's Colony 2BD Villa Slee
The villa was the perfect place for our family to stay for graduation weekend at William and Mary. Plenty of space and very comfortable. Setting was lovely and great for walks in our down time. The only issue we had was the villa was not ready at the designated check in time and we had to wait an hour before we could get in.

2 Bedroom Stylish Kingsmill condo
Lovely stay. Kingsmill setting is beautiful. So much to do in Williamsburg area. Dave’s place was so comfortable, clean, well appointed and convenient to all.

Kingsmill Resort Business Class - Great Monthly
Kingsmill is a naturally beautiful planned community where you could have lots of adventure and sport out of your back door with options for dining and exploration or you could just enjoy the beautiful views of the James River and the sounds of nature around you. Highly recommend for either!

Book a Piece of History at Kingsmill Williamsburg
Jared was an excellent host. The unit was exactly as described and very easy to find. He responded to all inquiries very quickly. This might have been our best Airbnb experience so far.

Luxury Riverfront Condo w/ sunrise & sunset views
The condo was very clean with all necessary essentials. We loved sitting on the porch watching the wildlife, especially the numerous ospreys. It is centrally located, only a short drive to historic Williamsburg, Jamestown and Yorktown. Plan for about a day at each to fully enjoy everything. The grounds of the resort are lovely and a great place to walk or ride bikes. Rodica was very easy to communicate with and was most helpful with all checking instructions, especially with our late arrival. We would definitely like to return.
