Great Time!

Property was even better than portrayed in the pictures! Attention to detail including supplying things we might possibly need was the best we have experienced. We could not have asked for more. I even got some excellent photos of the F/A -18’s returning to Norfolk base. Our boy Simon appreciated his patch of grass as well. Thanks for sharing your home with us!

Great Place to Stay with Dogs!

We really enjoyed staying here! It was just a couple blocks from a really nice park that has walking trails and a dog park. I really like that the living room is large enough to accommodate two dog crates easily. The owners provide a lot of little necessities, like toiletry items. The unit was super clean and nicely decorated. And the couch is quite possibly the most comfortable couch ever! Overall, I highly recommend this rental!

Great place and location

We loved the place. Easy access to everything. Only had issue with code for door on the first day trying to check in, but John and Rachel took care of it. On my next visit to Virginia Beach I will be checking on this rental for availability first. Thanks for a great experience.

Relaxing getaway

This was a great place for the 2 of us and our dog. She loved relaxing in the sunshine on the fenced in front deck. The hosts provided thoughtful amenities and it was very clean. The neighborhood is quiet except for the fighter jets. It actually was pretty cool to see them go over. It's not far from the beach, shopping, and restaurants. We would stay here again!

Wonderful rental!

We traveled with our dogs and loved the fenced-in back and front yards! This property was extremely clean and well-stocked!! We lived in the Norfolk/Va. Beach area for over 40 years and knew about the jet noise. I would suggest that you may want to make renters aware of this because it can be rather loud. Other than that, we enjoyed out stay and would rent again!!

A dog park close by. Resturants and the beach very close. Friendly people in the neighborhood. Easy to contact owner. Very plesant experience. Would definitely go back. Would like to stay at another location with this owner. He and wife care about what you need for comfort and relaxation. We loved the crab shack. Sharon, George, and Klyde(shitu/yorkie).

Hands down the best VRBO experience ever

These good folks take hosting seriously. The house was exactly as depicted and was immaculate, thoughtfully stocked, intuitively organized. Great location with a fabulous dog park a short stroll away, not far from the beach, quiet and pleasant neighborhood. Check-in process was seamless, and communication with them was first rate. I would absolutely stay with them again, and I wish all hosts were as passionate about their properties and their guests' experiences as these two are. Hats way off, and thank you!

Great place for 2 ( dog!)

We enjoyed our stay in this townhouse. The neighborhood was quiet, pleasant and good for walking our dog (great park nearby so that she could get off her leash and run around in an enclosed area!!). The amenities were great (laundry soap provided, coffee, lots of dishes/silverware, etc). The rooms were clean and tidy. Lots of clean towels to use and a washer/dryer so that we didn't need to pack much. We loved having the back enclosed porch and yard area - again for our beloved pup :-). The jets taking off from the Oceana Naval Air Station were loud, but at the same time a marvel to watch. Fortunately, the take-offs didn't start til after 8 (or maybe 9) a.m. and ended before we went to bed. We lived in Virginia Beach over 35 years ago and enjoy going back to visit relatives. We'll keep this one in mind when we make our next trip. Thank you!

Wooded Retreat with Pawsome Perks!

My stay at this wonderful property was a true delight! Tucked away in a peaceful, wooded neighborhood, it felt like a serene retreat while still being incredibly close to everything I needed. I especially loved the easy access to walking trails, a tennis court, and a fantastic dog park.For anyone traveling with dogs, this place is perfect! The fenced-in front and backyards provided a safe and spacious area for my furry friends to enjoy. The hosts truly went above and beyond with thoughtful extra amenities. We were so grateful for the refreshments and the well-stocked cooking supplies – it made settling in and enjoying our time so much easier. We also appreciated the overall sense of safety and security the property offered and a short drive from everything, including the beach! We took advantage of the local recommendations provided and absolutely loved Rudee's at the Inlet – a must-try! The fighter jets overhead was surprisingly cool and added a unique touch to our stay. I wholeheartedly recommend this property and will definitely be booking another stay here in the future!"

Cozy home at the Beach

We enjoyed our stay at the Crab Shack very much. The front and back patio areas were lovely and the home was clean and well decorated with a beachy vibe. The hosts provided very nice amenities including welcome snacks and water both still and sparkling! In the bathroom you had everything you needed! High end shampoo, conditioner, body wash, makeup wipes and cotton balls and cue tips! Fresh linens were prepared plus extras in the closet along with beach towels! You even have access to beach essentials like chairs, coolers, umbrellas and carts. Overall, I would stay here again because of how comfortable the home was and it’s location to the beach and restaurants.

Loved it

The house was amazing. Clean well stocked it had things we forgot to bring as we got in late. Not sure if I liked the front yard or the back yard better. Both fenced in for my dog to enjoy. Quiet neighborhood very peaceful to sit outside in the morning. Definitely one of our favorite vacation homes.

Virginia to see family

Great location, property was perfect, had everything we needed.Very pet friendly as advertised, easy in and out of property. Close to beach and restaurants, very clean and tidy, front area is so relaxing to sit and hang out. The only negative was that the backyard grass was a little too long for our small dog to use for the bathroom.no biggie because the neighborhood is great for walking.
