We are from Virginia Beach so this was a bit of a "staycation" for us since it's only an hour away, but we wanted to go somewhere to celebrate our daughters 8th birthday and fathers day (both on the same day - lucky me!). We were absolutely in LOVE with this house and all that it had to offer. From the game room downstairs, the swimming pool (which is quite large for a beach house pool!), the hot tub, and the size of the bedrooms and family room. It also has an elevator which I don't remember seeing advertised, but was incredibly useful for us as my 89 year old grandmother came to visit for the day for my daughter's birthday and the stairs would have been a lot for her. It also was incredibly helpful to have for our luggage and groceries instead of making multiple trips up and down all those stairs. There were games, puzzles and books at the house, as well as beach wagons and sand/pool toys! The basement had a huge arcade game which was really cool too and the shuffle board table was a huge hit with the kiddos and adults alike. The beach access is just a very short walk away - you will have to cross a busy intersection, but there is a light and cross walk, if you have young kiddo's with you just be prepared to wait a bit before you can get across as an FYI. The public access does have a ramp so you don't have to use any stairs so if you have a cooler or wagon you can roll it down without any issues! We couldn't have asked for a better weekend getaway - and our only con is not renting for more nights because we didn't want our stay to end! We will definitely be staying here again soon!

This felt like a home away from home. The layout of the house inside is absolutely wonderful for more than two people traveling my first impression when I walk through the door was that the house was clean it smelt clean and it was very clean. The house is well equipped with everything all nice bathrooms four nice huge bedrooms. The yard is a bonus. It’s very private and we were like 2 miles from the beach I will definitely stay here again and I definitely recommend it. Vacasa Representatives were all wonderful to work with. If there was an issue they were on top of it and had it handled. The view from the front yard is very illuminating at night, you will see. This house was just amazing
