Unplugging from hectic life

Property was nice and very quiet other than the frogs (lol). Beach is about a block away so very close and not super touristy. Sunsets are breathtaking. Host was very helpful with suggestions about food, the area and just general questions.

Graduation Vacation

Beautiful views, amazing sunsets, plenty of water front activities. In the mornings we watched the osprey and heron fishing and in the evenings the otters playing off the docks. An easy 15 minute walk to the oceanfront. A beautiful quiet location to hang out or have easy access to all of the amenities in Virginia Beach.

Great location

Very quaint older camper. Very basic but clean and such a fantastic location on the bay. Huge deck with big table, large yard and dock. Enjoyed fishing and having dinner on the deck. Susan is a wonderful hostess with good communication. Would stay again!

Beautiful and so relaxing

It was a very nice day. The water was so nice at night to sit on the porch and be able to enjoy looking out over the water and watching the sunset drinking coffee, watching the sunrise, the pools and everything are very convenient. Clean and easy to get to. I would definitely stay there again

Wonderful Way to Spend a Long Weekend

The Surf Shack was the perfect place for our weekend away visiting our daughter! Very comfortable bed, well equipped kitchen, cozy back bedroom with small bunks, awesome patio, dock and view! Just a short walk to huge beach and a restaurant! Great location for a run, if that interests anyone! The communication was 10/10 - thank you for going above and beyond to make our stay so wonderful! Will definitely look here first the next time we are in town.

Beautiful View

Our most favorite part of this cute cottage is sitting on the covered porch watching the breathtaking sunsets. Enjoyed taking the kayaks out that were furnished directly from our dock then rinsing off with the outdoor shower. The cottage had ample room for 2 adults and 2 teenagers. The pool was right across the street which was super convenient. The locals were very friendly. We will definitely be back again for vacation.

Good views, smaller property, issues not resolved.

Very nice location, and it is a nice property, but it is a little small. Pool nearby, beach is pretty close as well. Great views. The biggest issue was a problem with the TV in the kids' room. Contacted the property owner, or whoever was taking care of it. Was told multiple times that someone would be out to fix it.. never happened.. this is after letting them know multiple tines the first few days there.. nothing was ever fixed.

Exactly what is advertised

Pros: The place is very cute, air-conditioning works OUTSTANDING and it is a very beautiful location. Cons: Understanding the location, the bugs are horrible. As soon as the sun starts going down.. do not open any doors or sit outside. It is not the owners fault but the resort should run truck through to spray. I had myself and 4 children (11 and below) and i would recommend this place again in a heart beat if you are only coming for the beach. Or for a weekend romantic getaway. For the kids (who had a blast) the drive to anywhere but pungo is long. We did a lot (boardwalk, zoo, aquarium ect..) and it would be nicer to be able to run back for lunches, breaks.. that being said again if you just want a break or just the beach... this is a great place and the property manager Susan is awesome and very accessible.

A Small Piece of Heaven

Plenty of directions were given and Susan our host was in communication with us throughout the booking process and arrival, even though we arrived late. The trailer was clean, spacious and comfortable, with beds that were comfortable with plenty of pillows and quilts. It was well stocked with towels, toilet paper, paper goods, soap, dish detergent, pots, pans, food stuffs, and extras such as coffee makers, air purifier and space heater. There was a stacked washer and dryer, such a convenience! There were closets in both bedrooms and loads of storage in the bathroom. The shower was a step up shower, spacious enough to have a seat area and a plug so you could soak weary feet. There was an outside shower and a large shaded deck with a sturdy table set, wonderful for outside dining to gaze on the beautiful scenery. Kayaks were stored under the deck and a bike was provided. I loved stepping off the deck, walking 25 feet, to a dock from which we launched our paddle boards. The Back Bay was off our back porch and we enjoyed watching the cranes walking along the water's edge and huge bass jumping out of the water. It was peaceful and beautiful to stay here at this small piece of heaven. I look forward to returning and have sent pictures of this beautiful oasis to my friends and family.

Host ignored us as soon as there was a problem

The host, Susan Marshall, will act sweet and accommodating up until there is a problem and then she will ignore you. The bunk room where my children were supposed to sleep was infested with bugs crawling on the beds and ceiling. There were also cracks in the wall with a black substance coming onto the bedding. Due to these unsanitary conditions, we deemed it unsafe for our children. We promptly notified Susan Marshall, who promised assistance the next morning but failed to follow through. Despite repeated attempts to contact her, Susan remained unresponsive for over four hours, leaving us stranded with our 3 small children in the property. We understand that this property is on the bay and that there will be bugs, but the bugs were in the room furthest from the door and we kept the door closed. I have spent weeks at archaeological sites in a tent and I have worked in developing countries. I understand that bugs live among us, but this was different - there were bugs crawling all over the three beds in the bunk room. The level of infestation we encountered inside the bunk room was unacceptable and unlike anything I've experienced. Susan Marshall failed to address these issues and she continues to ignore us and our repeated attempts at a reimbursement. Susan’s lack of communication and disregard for our concerns was deeply troubling and unprofessional. I strongly advise against booking this property due to Susan Marshall’s unprofessional behavior once a problem arose.
