We were a family with young children and enjoyed the beach that was attached to the property. The outdoor deck was also nice. The upstairs room has no door therefore lacked privacy. We had a nice vacation.

The house was a nice, clean house. We where some what disappointed in the 4th bed room it was a loft open to the rest of the house not an actual bedroom. The house did look bigger in the pictures. The deck did have a lg amount ants. I contacted the owner to let her know there was a rusty chair on the deck that had a sharp edge which my husband cut his leg on. It took her 2 days to get back to me. Which was ok because it wasn’t an emergency. I just wanted her to know we moved the chair off the deck so none of the kids got hurt. The best part of the house was the view and the kayaks. Oh and the beds where pretty comfortable too. The walk to the beach was about 5 min But the beach had a lot of sea weed , jellyfish and broken shells. So we drove the 25-30 minutes to Virginia Beach which was beautiful and very clean. The board walk was ok towards 30th street end the rides near 14th street not so good.

We enjoyed staying at Lisa’s house very much. She was easy to communicate with and the house was perfect for me and my family. We loved the little beach and really didn’t even want to go to the other one, which was very nice too. It was just so easy to stay and have everything right there. The privacy was wonderful too ;) Would highly recommend to anyone.

My family enjoyed our stay and felt at home, and the beach community was super friendly. This home offers a unique water in the front yard and boat watching experience. We also took advantage of its close prominently to visit Busch Gardens and eat great local seafood. We'd love to visit again!

We had a wonderful stay at this property. The home is lovely and very well equipped. Everything you could need in the kitchen (they even had fresh spices!) and recommendations for local restaurants when you didn’t feel like cooking. Lots of room and the layout worked beautifully for our 2 families. The private beach was small but having it all to ourselves was amazing, and the public beach was easy walking distance. The location was perfect - right off the highway, so easy to get to any of the surrounding cities or up to Busch Gardens, but felt tucked away with zero freeway noise. A truly beautiful property with an attentive host. We had some really magical moments in the kayaks - watching the sunset and following a pod of dolphins as they played in the bay. A truly unforgettable trip!

We stayed over Christmas during winter storm Elliott and we were so cozy and enjoyed the lovely views. Beds were comfy, kitchen was so well equipped, and Lisa was great to communicate with. I cannot recommend this location and host enough. Thank you for the great experience!

Lisa was very accommodating and easy to communicate with. The house was the perfect size for 6 adults, 1 teen, a 2 toddlers. The private beach on the bay in the backyard was perfect for our little ones. Restaurants were within close proximity. The traffic in the area can be overwhelming during rush hour times but overall we had an excellent week!

After an exhausting year at work, it was time to get away from everything, with the extended family. This home has everything you could need. Yes, a little outdated on a few items, but nothing in life is perfect. I had a few questions the day of arrival, but the host answered them quickly and graciously. Will definately stay next time we are in town!

The location is close to Williamsburg, downtown Norfolk and Virginia Beach. The private beach at the house is nice and we enjoyed watching the planes and helicopters from the naval base across the bay. The house needs a little touch up of paint in places but anything and everything you could think of is there, especially in the kitchen. Air conditioning works great and the deck and view are beautiful.

The things that we appreciated: There was enough room for our group of 6 and the layout was fine. The small private beach on the bay just out the back deck door was a big hit for our grandchild. The view is lovely from the back deck. The kitchen has a large assortment of cooking and serving pieces and tableware. A lovely more extensive beach is very nearby. The large grill was a big asset. Things that disappointed us: A real problem is the extremely loud air conditioner. You can not have a conversation when it is running unless you are standing close to one another. An exterminator is needed. The linens and rugs are tired. The furniture is worn and damaged. A lot is expected of the guests to prepare for the housekeeper before their 9:30 am checkout. That includes emptying the dishwasher and refrigerator, washing sheets and towels, throwing out the trash. The spirit of the preparation for us was not equal. For example most of the beds were unmade and towels were not set out in the bathrooms when we arrived. The paper goods, shampoo, and soap were in short supply. This was surprising considering the good communication I had with the host before we arrived.

This is the perfect spot for a family get away! The house has lots of room, it is clean, has practically everything you can ask for (pots, pans, utensils, etc). The beach is perfect for families with little kids (the waves/current is not as dangerous as it is on the beach, but the big beach is right across the street (5min walk). The beds were comfortable, there are 4 bedrooms and three bathrooms… plenty of space, a big beautiful table to sit at and eat meals together, a nice big deck area with a table and grill and a huge family room area. The house is well taken care of and you can tell the owners take care of the house, the details in the decorations, furniture purchased and the placement is very apparent and appreciated! We loved it!!!!

We had an amazing vacation here. The house is wonderful and so well situated backing onto a private beach.

Beautiful cozy property on the water- you can watch sunrise and sunset from the deck/ very spacious; very good value for money

We came in early May, that is, outside of the main tourist season. The house thus functioned as a secluded spot with its own small private beach and barbecue porch. This was a paradisiac break. We had intended to visit historical places nearby (for example, Williamsburgh), but enjoyed the house so much that never left it (except to get provisions).

Location is great, right on the Willoughby Bay across from the Naval Air Station and a short walk to the ocean. My husband and I met my 87 yr old Mom and Sister there for a relaxing get together after a crazy year. Perfect set up with 3 bedrooms with their own bathrooms. Comfortable beds and linens. Plenty of towels with washer/dryer to make you feel right at home. Loved watching the Navy helicopters practicing maneuvers. Home is smaller than the pictures perceive. Great deck with plenty of chairs and tables and the grill is a great feature. Good grocery store, a Dollar Store and a Walgreens all extremely convenient. Close to downtown Norfolk, where I would recommend Victory Rover Naval base cruises. Easily drive 10-15 minutes and find whatever restaurants you can imagine. Especially great crab cakes at Stoney’s! The owner was always responsive to any questions I had before and during the trip!

We had an amazing stay in a gorgeous and large well maintained property.

Not only did we have to deal with a furnace that was not working, a fireplace we couldn’t turn on, a chairlift that was inoperable ( had to go up a large flight of stairs with all our belongings ) but we had to leave early and shorten our trip because of the conditions.

Enjoyable change of scenery even in winter. Lots of room, on the water with a cute little beach. Slightly dated but extremely well-equipped kitchen - more than enough pots, pans, and dishes. Would recommend for families looking to vacay in a safe bubble.

Had a wonderful time with my family and friends!

My daughters and grandchildren and I needed a get-away and Willoughby Spit was perfect for our stay. The house is very comfortable, spacious and well-equipped. We loved the view of the bay and watching all the ducks, shore birds and even dolphins. We easily visited Williamsburg, Jamestown, and Yorktown and were in close vacinity to lots of eating choices. Great time in Norfolk!

We looked at numerous properties, and we are happy with our choice. Very clean and well appointed. Bedroom arrangement was great. Small beach and kyacks on the property. 5 minute walk to the full beach. Recommend this one for sure!
