Hidden Gem

Sharon and Rich were amazing, the establishment had a family feel. Breakfast was awesome, everyday was a different chef specialty from chef ( Rich ) . Just a 3 min walk to the beach and restaurants. They also have bikes, coolers, beach umbrellas chairs, beach wagons that make easy for everyone’s comfort.

So Traveler Friendly!

From the gourmet breakfasts to the pantry with fridge and all the essentials (plates/silver/mugs/glasses) for in-room dining to the arrangement of breakfast tables for friendly chatter to the kindly advice on where to eat/visit/shop/sunbathe to the balconies for morning coffee to the bicycles and beach gear--all welcoming and wonderful. Even the shared bath for two of the five BRs was thoughtfully conceived, with a whiteboard shower signup for travelers who needed to be ready to go somewhere at a specific time.

Very clean, not great communication about the shared bathroom. King bed was actually two singles put together and shorter than standard. Breakfast was delicious. Hosts are very nice and welcoming.

This was a very intimate stay. My wife and I enjoyed the interesting conversations that we had with the owners and other guests during the morning breakfasts. Rich and Sharon (the owners) were fabulous. The breakfasts were beyond our expectations. They were more like what you would see at a 5 star restaurant. The location is only 3 blocks from the oceanfront, which was very convenient. Parking can be expensive in the area, so having a place to park was great! The rooms were well kept. The bathroom was spacious, although it was down the hallway. That can be a challenge if you are someone who has to make 'bathroom trips' in the middle of the night. All in all , it was a great time.

We went to Virginia Beach for a graduation and stayed three nights. Rich and Sharon went out of their way to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable. Our room was perfect and sitting on the porch was relaxing. Rich's breakfasts were amazing! He clearly enjoys whipping up creative and yummy dishes. We had a wonderful stay. We will definitely be back!
