This property is a hidden gem. Spotless, beautiful, cozy and the perfect home away from home. Outstanding location to the beach. We highly recommend it for future renters. Will rent again upon a return trip to VA Beach.

My family has been traveling to VA Beach for over 30 years and always stayed in a hotel. Over the last 5 years, we have decided to try VRBO homes to experience other areas of VA Beach. This was our first time staying at Meadowlark and I don't know if we'll look anywhere else for next year. We loved it!
Several pluses for this property
1. Frank is great and super friendly! We managed to meet him during our stay and he wanted to make sure that we had everything we needed.
2. Incredibly clean property inside and out.
3. For the coffee drinkers - a Keurig machine and a regular coffee pot are provided. Also, Frank provides some light roast K-cups as well.
4. Beds are memory foam mattresses. Firm but comfortable. The pillows are also very comfortable.
5. One roll of paper towels, back up toilet paper, some garbage bags and soaps are provided as well which is a plus. We are usually scrambling last minute to run to Harris Teeter's b/c we forgot these items.
6. Speaking of Harris Teeter's - it's a short walk and even shorter drive.
7. A very short walk to the beach and 7-11 is close by too.
8. The couches are extremely comfortable!
9. Easy entry with a keypad to lock and unlock the doors.
10. The backyard/courtyard is beautiful and private.
Some cons but does not make or break our decision to go back
1. Parking is tight especially if you have a large vehicle. We have a Suburban and had two other cars been parked there, it would have been really tight but would have made it work.
2. There is only one TV in the living room. There are none in the bedrooms. Again, not make or break. My father is older and would prefer to watch Football or movies vs sitting at the beach so we were at his mercy when it came to the TV. lol!
3. If there is someone staying in the second floor unit, you can hear them walking around. Again, not make or break for us, but something to be aware of.
This property would be great for a large family to rent both units in this house. They would be able to make great use of the fenced in private courtyard.
We hope you enjoy this property as much as we did!

The layout of this house was ideal for our two small families with toddlers. Lots of space to run, children’s books, big backyard, outdoor shower and an assortment of beach toys/umbrellas and chairs. If you are sensitive to noise, you can hear other groups of guests walking around upstairs and the yard is shared with upstairs guests. There was one exposed outlet in the bedroom that I’m hoping the owner addresses before future stays. The kitchen was well equipped and it’s a very short walk to the beach. I would definitely recommend this as a gem of a place! Nice historical details and the furniture was comfy and lux for a beach rental.

Nice place to stay
Clean and comfortable home. Convenient walking distance to beach and boardwalk. Parking in the back. Washer and dryer. Chairs and umbrellas are available. The owner was quickly responsive to small concerns (slow running drain, light bulbs out). Would definitely rent again.

Suggestions for more comfortable stay.
Needing a hook or towel rack next to bathroom sinks to hang hand towels on, a luggage stand or something like it in the bedrooms to place open suitcases on and there did not seem to be a plug close to the bed to plug in electronic devices (phone). Also the kitchen should have a medium size sauce pan. The peeling paint should be taken care of, if children were to stay at the house the peeling paint was within their reach and a safety/health hazard.

My husband and I spent the week with our 3 teenagers. The house is clean, comfortable and larger than it appears in the photos. The location can't be beat - only a short walk to the beach, all the action and even a large grocery store. Frank checked in and was available to help if any issues arose, but there were not any problems at all. We would definitely stay again if we return to Virginia beach.
Thank you Frank - we had a wonderful time!!

Very clean and good location
We were happy with Meadowlark. The owner let us in before the 4pm check in because we had 2 crying babies with us. Location is great. Very close to the beach and restaurants. The owner has a high chair, but it's for older babies. If you have 9 months or younger I suggest bringing your own. Overall, it's a great place.

We enjoyed our three week stay at Meadowlark. Frank is very accommodating and helpful; the kitchen is well-equipped and the beds were reasonably comfortable. We were a little taken aback by the poor insulation between the upstairs and downstairs units. The upstairs tenant seemed to be an insomniac and did a good deal of pacing which took some getting used to. Overall we would highly recommend the property, especially if the upstairs unit is vacant!

Meadowlark was lovely, very clean, and spacious. Brought our own towels per our contract but found plenty at the house. Found that there was not enough bowls and silverware. Spoke with Frank and issued was quickly resolved. Meadowlark was a quick walk to the beach— only 3 blocks away. Frank had beach chairs and plenty of sand toys for the kids! The backyard space is beautiful with grills and lounge chairs. We loved the screened in back porch and the rocking chairs on the front porch.The only downside was the creaking floors above us in the upper house. Frank was great to work with. His place is perfect for a beach stay at Virginia Beach!

Just Lovely
Wonderful place to stay! Beds are very comfortable, has all the niceties you need to have a comfortable stay. Loved sitting out on the front porch in the rocking chairs. The outdoor shower is a major plus if you plan on time at the beach! Frank, the owner, is extremely accommodating and kind. Some people mentioned noise from the upstairs guests as an issue. We had people above us and we could hear them faintly every once in a while but it was not a problem at all.

Meadowlark!
This rental is perfect. The place is very comfortable and so cute. The location could not be better! There is a grocery store less than a block away, and the oceanfront/boardwalk is only a couple blocks away too. Frank is very personable and has done a great job making sure his rental has everything needed for a great time!

Couldn’t be happier!
This property was wonderful! It is beautifully restored and a great location. Six of us were perfectly comfortable and had plenty of room. Frank responded to any questions we had immediately and provided such nice touches such as games and books. We cooked our meals and had everything we needed. We will definitely stay again !
