Our children and grandchildren joined us for a family holiday and we all had the very best time. Our hostess, Yvonne, was terrific, the property spacious and clean! The neighborhood was terrific with a very short walk to the private neighborhood beach. And the grands loved the pool!

Blended vacation

The house was amazing! Only a couple of blocks to the beach and a short drive to the boardwalk and restaurants. We spent all week in the private pool. The owner provided all of the beach chairs we could need. I would recommend the house to everyone from families with young children to families like mine with grown children.

One of a kind

If you are looking for a property that has EVERYTHING, this is it! In the mornings we would go to the beach for hours, wash off in the outdoor shower, then used the pool. The entire place was plenty big for our family of 9 (6 adults and 3 kids). Yvonne has been nothing but amazing with her communication from the very beginning. Truly a gem of a place!

Fantastic Vacation!

Everything was truly like a Caribbean Fantasy vacation. From the resort-like pool and 5 minute walk to the uncrowded beach, to the beach life decor, to the beach cruisers, games, toys, beach gear, outdoor shower/changing room and huge house with plenty of privacy and great bedrooms, we could not have been happier with our beach vacation!

Wonderful home away from home!

A Caribbean Fantasy was fantastic! We couldn't have asked for a better week of sun and relaxation. The duBuy's home was well equipped and furnished for our blended family. The pool area was to die-for and provided a true resort experience - Cabana bar was a fun feature. Highly recommend!

AMAZING!

An incredible home....so beautiful, so convenient to the beach and surrounding area and so comfy! The pool area is fantastic! We spent most of our time relaxing there! I was really impressed with all the little extra touches like the night lights! For our first time to VA Beach and our first time using VRBO, Yvonne made the experience marvelous!!

Great location and plenty of space to spread out

Tha house was conveniently located in a quiet neighborhood a few minute (easy) walk to the beach. We were able to ride our bikes on more than one occasion to the boardwalk for lunch and visiting some of the sights around the boardwalk area (neptune statue, fitness station on the beach!). The pool was very nice and a great resource for morning, afternoon and evening swims to break up the day. Kitchen and BBQ grill were good.

Fabulous Caribbean Fantasy

Our family totally enjoyed this property. Close to the beach which we went to in the AM, then back to the pool in the afternoon. The house was amazing and had everything we needed for a great vacation. Table games, corn hole, bikes, beach chairs and beach toys were abundant. We can’t think of anything we would change.

Perfect location and everything you need

Always a bit cautious when checking in as to whether or not the pictures are accurate but this place was great! The pool and its surrounding area were perfect for our getaway. It had plenty of seating and the tiki bar was nice. The walk to the beach was easy and anything you needed for the beach provided: wagon, carriers, mats, coolers, plus so much more. In the garage were many bikes for all sizes, ping pong, Foosball, corn hole, and the list goes on. The house fit great, plenty of room and bathrooms! Kitchen had everything needed to cook whatever! Excellent choice and would definitely book again. The Host was great.

Great time for Mom’s 70th

Our family of 12 was looking for a place to celebrate my mom turning 70, and this proved to be perfect for us. What sets this place apart from the tens of others in the area are two things. The fully stocked supplies of all kinds, from games to kitchen to outdoors. (We must have played at least 5 games of Yahtzee as well as others.) And second, the owners willingness to work with you to provide maximum enjoyment out of your stay. We had a minor electrical problem with the pool due to a power outage, and Yvonne put our stay first to make sure it was taken care of in a timely manner. I understand things happen, but how Yvonne responded to our needs is what mattered more than the issue itself. I also want to point out, if you like carribean decor, this place is for you. My father hasn’t stopped talking about it since.

A True Diamond in the Rough

My family and I have stayed in a number of accommodations like this over the past 3+ years all across the country, but from top to bottom we would give Yvonne's home the highest marks of all of them. A phenomenal location in a safe, upscale neighborhood that is an easy walk to the beach, but still maintains its own privacy is an accurate description The home is incredibly well-stocked, very clean (which is even more important during these times) and I can't say enough about Yvonne's interaction and responsiveness as an owner. We had horrible weather for most of our stay, but thanks to her setup we were able to make the most of it. All of the games that were available to the kids were amazing and our favorite feature of all was the pool and tiki bar area. We were able to enjoy and appreciate all of these amenities and were still only a bike ride away from the boardwalk and everything that the strip has to offer. I can't say enough good things about this property and Yvonne as an owner, other than we look forward to rescheduling with her soon.

A Caribbean Fantasy - Lux/Comf/Style/Pool/Tikibar-500 ft to beach-near Boardwalk

Incredible! If I could give this house and its owner a 10/10, I would without hesitation. The house was immaculately clean. I have stayed in numerous houses, and this house, by far was stocked with everything you could think of. ( I actually brought more than I needed to bring). The pool and the tiki bar were awesome. We paid the extra price to heat the pool, which was money well spent. The house lies in a beautiful subdivision at the end of a one way street. The beach access was a very short walk and shaded. The beach itself was clean and not crowded at all. A car is necessary to get around, but everything is within a 5 minute drive. The owners of the house left note cards throughout the house explaining how things operate. Communication with the owner throughout the week was prompt and very informative. One day, there was a heightened risk of riptides in our area. I received a text from the owner early that morning describing riptides and an explanation of the flag system. Any issues were VERY minor, and were resolved within 1/2 hour of contacting the owner. We will DEFINATELY RETURN.

8/10 Good

Good house and location.

The house is big, very clean, and comfortably slept 4 couples and 2 children. The pool area is fantastic, and there is a great outdoor shower. Although there is not a gate around the pool there is door alarm that broke 2 days before the end of our visit, and pretty much ruined my wife's last 2 nights of sleep (and was not addressed by the owner or management company prior to end of our trip). The beach is a very short walk away & there are 2 beach carts that you can use to haul your beach gear. There are beach umbrellas' a cooler and chairs (though most of the chairs were broken). There are also several bikes you can use, though they were all in various states of disrepair; this was addressed relatively quickly and we were able to use the bikes. The beach on weekdays was quiet. The kitchen was fully equipped with all the pots and pans and utensils you could need. Contrary to the description there were some spices, but it was pretty bare for the most part. The living room/dining area has a nice layout, there is a large flat screen, with at least 100 DVDs for kids and adults. Wifi worked fine. It's a 3 story house w the main living area on the top floor. Consequently, you do a lot of walking up and down the stairs many times day. There are gates for children as well as a high chair and booster seat. There is a lot to do near and far from the house. Highly recommend a day trip to Bausch gardens and eating at Tautogs. Overall I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a house this size in the area.
