Great location!
Posted Oct. 10, 2023 on HomeAwayWe all - seniors to toddlers - enjoyed our stay here! Wonderful to be on the river, and also convenient to Williamsburg!

Decent but read details below
Posted Sep. 5, 2023 on HomeAwayThere’s a lot about the property that isn’t described well in the post such as you’re next to another home where people rent long term-not only sharing a driveway.
The house is very “80s” and has some updates such as the kitchen floor but also has very old carpet along with mouse traps that still had the dead mice in them.
But the location and private beach is a plus and the house does comfortably sleep 8-10 people.
My BIGGEST concern with this property was that the host NEVER communicated with me after he received all the money for the rental AND the number on his site isn’t his, it sent me to some park service.
This was a big deal for us as we paid extra for linens only to show up and NONE were provided. Thank goodness we found the “emergency sheets” or we would be having to go purchase sheets.
Won’t be going back but it was perfect weather so we stayed outside on the beach all day long.
If you’re just looking for a place that’s only a shell with furniture to make food and you’re fine with bringing ALL your own things but want a private bay beach then this is the place!

Fun vacation house!
Posted Aug. 7, 2023 on HomeAwayOverall nice house, big enough for the family to spread out and have their own space. Location was perfect and the neighbors were friendly. The house was clean but could use an overall deep clean.

We felt played
Posted Aug. 1, 2023 on HomeAwayThe house was large but needed to be cleaned more thoroughly. There was enough room for the 8 of, 4 kids and 4 adults.
The private beach was the ENTIRE reason we booked this house and the beach was unusable. The amount of seaweed made the beach impossible for us to enjoy. While I understand it washed up, there has clearly been so much built up that it wasn't all just from a day or two. The smells was horrible. We had to spend most of our time driving to find a beach all of us could enjoy.
When we arrived we panicked as one of the garage doors were open, and after a phone to call Greg it was explained that he had people renting the home that shared the driveway with this one. The renters were nice but we didn't appreciate the child asking as all about how long our stay was going to be, or if we were going to use the beach.
This home also needs upgrades. The TV in the playroom was very old and the DVD player was unfortunately broken so the kids couldn't use the TV. The toys in the room were nice though and we appreciated that. I wish the bedrooms or at least the other bigger one upstairs had a TV.
The air-conditioning worked but it was so inconsistent that none of us could be comfortable. The wifi also went in and out multiple times through the stay.
Greg was very responsive but we wish we felt less 'catfished' about this property, especially for the price.

Hidden gem!
Posted Jul. 15, 2023 on HomeAwayOur family of 7 enjoyed this home! There was something for everyone to do! My 8 year and 11 year old especially loved the beach area. They caught so many crabs and spent hours there! It’s close enough to the parks but far enough away from all the town life. We had deer, frogs, lizard visitors. The space of the house was perfect as well as a fully stocked kitchen! Neighbors are extremely nice too! Would recommend picking this home!

Beautiful place to stay!
Posted Jun. 19, 2023 on HomeAwayMy group had so much fun with the private beach! The canoe was such a great amenity along with the ping pong table. Would definitely say to make sure you bring your own toilet paper and paper towels etc, but other than that had a fabulous stay in an absolutely beautiful area. Would recommend this vacation to anyone.

Spring Break Getaway
Posted Jun. 5, 2023 on HomeAwayWe stayed the week for our spring break and the property did not disappoint. Besides the well appointed rooms and the kitchen the luxury of the private beach felt most special. It was hard to step away from the shores of the York with such lovely weather, however we did manage to explore the historical and significant sites that were so close to our stay. With every visit we find something new and look forward to another visit soon.

Stunning view, average stay.
Posted Dec. 13, 2022 on HomeAwayThis home has an amazing view! Lots of beds to accommodate a stay with a large family. Unfortunately the house was not very clean. We were visiting my parents who live locally so we were only at the house to sleep at night, otherwise it would have been a bit harder to tolerate. Especially for the price, having to pay for a linen package, etc. I expected a 5 star experience, & it fell short.

I am very sorry to hear that we did not meet your expectations. My cleaning service usually does a great job. If there are any specific areas' you can direct me to have them focus on I will gladly do that. We try very hard to exceed expectations. Any specific guidance would be really appreciated.

Family and Friends connection
Posted Oct. 11, 2022 on HomeAwayI was so excited to find this house just one street down from my parents home in Hayes!
The house itself was comfortable and clean, though it involved a little bit more BYO then I am used too. I also wanted to let the owners know that I did see some termites around the front door of the unit, as well as the communal downstairs restroom. As the majority of the house has hardwood features, I would highly suggest getting a fumigation done, to prevent any damage to the house.
