Private guest apt on creek w/ patio & fire feature
Kendall was quick to respond and very kind! Definitely made my eventful trip smooth.

The Fish House
My wife and I have stayed at The Fish House several times. It is a wonderful respite from our urban home life. A great place to relax and appreciate the Northern Neck lifestyle. We love it here!

Cardinal Cove: Waterfront Kayaks Firepit Boatslip
Irene is very responsive and helpful. We spend a great weekend with family and friends! We did kayaking and fishing. Irene provided great advice to us about how to find the best fishing spot. The house is clean and beautiful. The nice patio also includes a gas grill for who wants to BBQ. THIS PLACE IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED for who want play around water! Definitely will come back.

Cozy Getaway Efficiency on Buggs Island/Kerr Lake
I had the best time staying here- I was staying here for a work trip, but I hope to be back to spend more time on the lake in this cozy and comfortable apartment. I usually have a hard time sleeping, but was able to peacfully sleep in this quiet, safe, and clean apartment with such a comfy bed. I felt right at home. Mickey and Ann were lovely, friendly folks who were gracious and loaned me a kayak when I had a free afternoon. Will definitely book again when I'm back in the Clarksville area!

Sunset Haven Downtown
It was a wonderful experience staying at Carla’s. The location is perfect. It is quite center in town. We loved the little apartment, it has everything we need. We would love to come back again!

Private apartment only 3 blocks from the Beach
We really enjoyed our long Easter weekend at Nataly’s 1st floor apartment in Virginia Beach! Great location:quiet,private,pretty backyard with nice deck,outside shower, and view of the water & lots of animal entertainment: Herons,Egrets,Mallards,fish,squirrels and 1 possum at night! 😆 The apartment is perfect for 2 people: Very Clean,comfy, & the Queen size Bed was very comfortable and the linens smelled so good! Loved the bathroom too! There’s so much to do, so many great places to eat at & funky bars & beer places to experience! Do yourself a favor and take a walk or rent bikes: You’re close enough to the beach-go enjoy it! We recommend “Rudee’s Tours”-The Dolphin Boat Cruise was AWESOME! We’ll be back! Danielle & Phil …2 Airbnb Superhosts from Pennsylvania !!!

Tree Top Beach Bungalow 3 1/2 blocks fr beach
We had such a wonderful time staying at Holmes and Kim’s lovely home. This stay is blocks away from the beautiful beach and boardwalk. We enjoyed a peaceful stay with wonderful weather to match, and Kim and Holmes were extremely friendly and responsive. We would definitely stay again 😊. Thank you!

Private Entrance Apartment on the Chesapeake
Erin’s place was the getaway that we definitely needed. We spent our time enjoying the sunsets (stunning pastel colors across the water), watching movies, cooking together, and had a nice meal at a local diner, too (which was recommended in the listing)! The place was so clean, well equipped, and very homey/comfortable. Being situated right on the beach, where in the mornings you can see all of the bay from the windows in the living room and kitchen. Erin was so personable and responsive which we so appreciated. She gave all the information you could need about not just the AirBnB, but the surroundings as well. We felt right at home. They have wonderful neighbors who we met on the beach one of the evenings. Everyone was just so friendly. They were enjoying a beach fire and we talked for a while about how amazing the area is. We have already decided we absolutely will be staying here again! This is the best kept secret quiet beach hideaway! My partner and I LOVED it!
Waterfront house rentals

Fresh Air, Waterfront Views, & Pet Friendly
We spent a lovely few days at this home and highly recommend it! The location is fantastic -- right on the water on a quiet creek -- with all the things you need to enjoy yourself. We were very happy to have a fully fenced yard since we brought our dogs. If anything, I think the photos undersell the house: for instance, the furniture in the living room is larger and nicer than it appears in the pics, so you can really spread out and relax in there. A note to EV drivers: we brought our EV and there's conveniently an outdoor 110v outlet on the side of the house next to the driveway.

Waterfront Escape!
Amazing girls weekend at Ryan’s house. Such a great host and we couldn’t ask for a better weekend. The dock made the trip! We spent our entire time out there, just relaxing.

Beautiful Waterfront house w/ private dock, kayaks
Loved staying here! Great lake views and water activities. Mariana was very responsive and so kind!

The Glebe
Excellent stay at RivahLife! The views were spectacular and the home was exactly as described. Easy to find with lots of stuff for the kids and adults. Looking forward to returning during the warmer months as the fishing, boating, and swimming would be more desirable. Thanks for the high chair and portable crib. Those things really help when traveling with kids.

The Captains Cottage KAYAK/FISH on Elizabeth River
Janine was very responsive and accommodating. Would stay here again.

Family & Pet Friendly Private Beach Retreat
Responsive and communicative via AirBnb app. Open to small changes we had to make. Beautiful house and wonderful neighborhood. Everything as described and reasonable price. Truly provided the BnB part of AirBnb with linens, cleaning/cooking supplies, and bathroom supplies. Very scenic. The pictures don't do it justice when it comes to the proximity of the dock. It is right outside the window of the master bedroom.

Lakefront House @ Oceanfront
Responsive even before I booked. As pictured. Accommodated 5 of us very comfortably. Friends stayed one half block up I liked our place much better!

3br/2ba Waterfront Home overlooks Private Dock. 2+
This home is a great place to stay! It is completely furnished with everything you need. The kitchen is completely stocked with any seasonings or coffee accessories you need. The home is wonderfully functional for larger families and kids, --lots of nooks and spaces to hang out and enjoy your vacation. My boys and I chose this rental for the kayaking, and we were not disappointed. The equipment was ready to go, and the home has it's own private slip into a beautiful calm river. This is a great home for families and friends to relax, get some time on the water, and spend time with each other. Great value.
Waterfront condo rentals

Tropical 2BR Condo Getaway 1 Block from the Beach!
LOVED our stay here, we were in town visiting a family member that is stationed in the area. Place was easy to find and had so much to do in the area. The home was so adorable I loved the Blue touches all over with the beachy theme. Everything was a described. We had one small concert and Samantha jumped into action to make sure it was taken care of and was great with following up to make sure we were happy with the resolution. Would stay here again in a heartbeat!!!

Smith Mountain Lake Getaway
Perfect for dog lovers and lake lovers! I’ve rented various condos at Smith Mountain Lake and several different ones at Stripers Landing, but Shannon’s place is now my new favorite. With a great view, plenty of space and the option to bring the pup - it’s such a treat. Highly recommend.

4/25-4/27 AVAIL Bernards Landing BEST VIEWS 2B
This condo was perfect for our weekend getaway! Newly renovated, comfortable furniture and amazing views. Host was a pleasure to work with!

Ocean & Bay Views - Local Family Owned & Operated
We had a great weekend at Crystal’s place. The condo was clean, the furniture comfortable and it had everything we needed for a weekend stay-our family especially enjoyed the selection of games. The location was perfect and the beach just beautiful!

Oceanfront Gem VaB Studio Exceptional Views
This was better than expected. The condo was well appointed in all aspects, especially for a small space, it didn't feel small. location was perfect and views from this corner unit were amazing. I would absolutely stay here again.

Moondance at Bernard’s Landing
Kathleen’s condo is wonderful, very clean with tremendous views of Smith Mountain Lake and the mountains. We truly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend this for a getaway of relaxation and rest, but also in close proximity to a lot of great activities. Thank you, Kathleen.

Dock Holiday at Bernard's Landing
Our quick escape before picking our son up from NC State was relaxing and so enjoyable. Spent a lot of time out on the lake. Temperatures were warmer than the usual April weather, we both have great tans to prove it! We were very comfortable at your place. Perfectly located off of Scruggs gave us the ability to get to our favorite restaurants (Napolis is the best and only a quick walk away). New to us was Black water cafe, totally awesome! We will go there again when we return. We were able to spend time with family that have recently moved to the lake. Our little escape has re energized us, filled our hearts with joy and great memories on the lake. Your place had everything we needed. We were very comfortable. We enjoyed the decor, the layout, everything about your little slice of heaven on the lake. Who could ask for anything more. Thank you sincerely.

Oceanfront, beachfront, boardwalk, fun, dolphins
We enjoyed staying at Kelly's place in VB. Its an ideal location for anyone who wants to stay right at the boardwalk. We witnessed amazing sunrises and moonrises. The ocean was right in front of us and from the 6th floor, the view was expansive. A lot of restaurants were also nearby. Kelly was always very communicative, polite and professional. The apartment was clean with the kitchen well stocked with utensils The bedrooms were of a pretty large size. And parking was on the premises. Overall, it was a wonderful experience and holiday for us. We strongly recommend Kelly's place.
