Historic Waterfront Home - Sleeps 10 - Walk to Downtown Hampton

The fenced backyard offers additional space for children to play, outdoor games, stretching, yoga, or simply enjoying the peaceful waterfront setting from the deck and pergola.

Historic Charm

We were in town for a family reunion and the location was great just a 10 minute drive to our venue; as well as the house being in walking distance of restaurants and museums. The house was spacious with plenty of room for the family and the backyard was nice. Spent time under the gazebo by the lake. The host was also great very responsive to our few requests. We would definitely stay again.

Amazing family weekend

We had a great stay. We meet family and had kids from 3 mo to 14 years old and there was plenty of room for everyone. The fenced in back yard was great for all the kids to play in ... while planning the trip I text and callinged Antoinette several times she was so friendly and helpful she even sent us some listings of things to do there. We will absolutely be staying there again at our next visit!!!

ABSOLUTELY PERFECT FOR WEDDING ACCOMODATIONS IN HISTORIC DOWNTOWN HAMPTON

This place is NOSTALIC yet MODERN!!! A beautiful 3000 sq ft Victorian home with all the modern amenities of today. The following is a only a few items of a long list that impressed us and our staying guests about this beautiful home. 1) WALKING DISTANCE (0.34 miles-approximately 5-10 mins) to our daughter's wedding at the Historic Hampton Post Office and our other guests staying at The Landing; as well as the many entertainment and restaurants in Historic Downtown Hampton. 2) A security alarm system (if you decide to use it) We didn't use it during our stay. We felt very safe throughout our stay and the front door was always open when we were there. 3) There was plenty of room to support 10 people. 4) A modern TWO-ZONE HVAC system. Our daughter's wedding was in February and the HVAC system worked very well; giving us a comfortable and cozy environment. 5) Large flat screen TVs in each bedroom. 6) Too many things to list here but wanted to re-iterate that this beautiful nostalgic Victorian home is within WALKING DISTANCE to everything for our daughter's wedding.
