Number one place to stay in Va Beach!
Extremely beautiful property, friendly staff from the receptionist to the house cleaners, location is prefect as it is so near to so many stores, and the beds are so comfortable!! This was our second time staying here. If you are a cyclist, you’ll have so many routes to bike right from the property.

Would stay again
While the overall stay was great, the room was not ready by 4, I was not able to add late check out on, and I wanted to reserve another night they did not seem to want to deal with it at the front desk so we decided to leave at regular check out time.
