Wonderful Accomodations

The accomodations at this home were excellent! It was comfortable, clean, and spacious. It is located in the historic district of Portsmouth and so convienent to walk to different locations. There was a farmer's market in town the weekend we were there which we walked to. The easy and prompt communication with the owner made us feel at ease leading up to the date of our stay. The owners were so kind and even left a graduation card and gift for our daughter graduating from law school. I would highly recommend this place!

Lovely place! Very nicely appointed. The VRBO is on the second floor -- 17 steps up -- my dog loved running up the steps. The neighborhood is wonderful with so many interesting houses, shops, pocket parks, and the waterfront within walking distance. Thank you for letting us vacation with our dogs!

LaTonya was extremely professional and hospitable. Her home was spacious, the decor added a sense of warmth, and the commute was less than 15 minutes from NSU’s homecoming activities. With onsite parking and a safe, clean neighborhood, I didn’t have to worry coming in late; and I had adequate parking for my family-sized SUV. I would definitely recommend staying here if you’re traveling to Northfolk, Va. and are looking for a spacious home with family-feel.
