This was our third time at the Big Blue House! It's right on the ocean and has an incredible porch to sit on outside and watch the ships go by. It's conveniently located to all amenities and points of interests. Check out the Botanical Gardens in Norfolk - one of our favorite gardens! It's near the naval station, so you'll see lots of cool ships, planes, and choppers. The pier is right there - you can walk to it to fish or grab a drink or some food. The house is big and has an interesting history, beautiful charm, and character. They do allow dogs, so we are always able to bring our fur kids along - we wouldn't go without them, so this is a huge plus for us. Also, the property is fenced in. You can walk right out to the beach, and there's an outdoor shower to remove the sand when you return. The kitchen is fully stocked for cooking, and the laundry units are available to use. The AC was very comfortable on the hot days. The Internet works and you can stream your favorite services. The team is great with communication and always so kind. I could go on and on! I wish we could stay longer. See you next year BBH :)

Our host was amazingly responsive, and quite gracious (I broke the coffee pot, and ordered another then let him know). The beach umbrella was turned inside out during a gust, and he replaced it immediately. We also had just a couple of basic questions that were answered quickly. The kitchen has everything one might need (including a Keurig coffee maker, which we used after I broke the other). I do wish the storm windows had been removed, it would have been great to hear the waves and catch the cross breeze at night.

An absolutely phenomenal stay. Thoughtfully laid out home, every amenity provided for with plenty for the kiddos. The beach was fantastic and Quinn was so accommodating. Just spendid!

Good location
