Perfect

My husband is receiving cancer treatment at the Hampton Proton Center. We live in Virginia beach, and going through the tunnel five days a week is very stressful. So staying close to the Center eliminated all the stress. Accommodations were perfect. If more treatment is needed in January, he'll be back, for sure! Asante sana, Margaret and Ed

Wonderful and extremely comfortable house.

Well maintained and more than adequately stocked with anything you would ever need to live. The kitchen appliances and amenities are fit for a chef… Quiet neighborhood large yard and close to shopping. Easy to get to and find. Ed and Margeret are very responsive and kind.

Excellent gem, convenient to everything

My friends and I stayed at Faraja House for a tennis tournament held at CNU and Huntington Park. Both were an easy drive away as were numerous restaurants and stores. Communication with the hosts was beyond the expected. They truly wanted to make sure everything was good for us for our trip. They even left waters for the three of us in the fridge for when we got there. I had the fortune to meet one of the owners who was just as kind as the messages they send. The rooms and house were very clean, beds comfortable. We did not cook while we were there but did use the coffee maker. The outdoor space is huge and well kept! They obviously care for their property. All three of us agreed that if we need to book a house in this area again that we will definitely choose this one again. With all of this being said, the house is close to train tracks, and you can hear the train periodically. This in no way took away from our stay here. The few times a train went by didn't bother us at all, and otherwise the property is peaceful and quiet. We all felt quite safe and secluded. This is a rare gem that you will be glad you booked! We were!

Cozy home in a cute neighborhood

Well kept small home. Very close to my family in VA, so it worked well for us. The train is indeed loud, mostly because there is a street crossing and they blow the horn 4 times when approaching. Woke me up every time, but not the end of the world fo us. Because it's an older home, there are not a ton of outlets. The owners placed hubs strategically, which helped. The bathroom is small and your face is right at the sink when you're using the toilet. Again, not an issue for us, but a larger person might find it a challenge. The owners we responsive and timely. No complaints :)

Lovely Property, Friendly Neighbors!

My husband and I stayed with our adult son, his wife and our 1 year old grandchild. The house is clean as a whistle, well appointed, and had everything we needed. Would definitely stay again here! We loved seeing Newport News and the trains. Neighborhood was lovely and the neighbors were very friendly when we were enjoying the large backyard.The Farajas were prompt in answering any questions! Thanks for a great stay!

Comfortable and convenient

This bungalow was quite comfortable and very convenient for us during our family visit to Newport News. Ed and Margaret were gracious hosts who communicated with us well. Everything was neat and clean, and the house was well stocked with what we needed. Stores, restaurants and attractions were nearby. There are train tracks across the street. The trains did not bother us during the day, but the one or two trains that went by during the night could be somewhat disruptive to our sleep.

Wonderful accomodations

Our family had a wonderful stay at the Faraja House. The home was beautiful, clean, fully furnished, and completely stocked with everything a family would need. The neighborhood was quiet and close to so everything. Our hosts were amazing. We accidentally forgot a pair of boots and they were shipped back to us. We hope to stay there again.

Visiting family

We came to the area to see our son and his family to celebrate Christmas with them. Our son just recently returned from his over seas deployment, so it was a quick trip. We loved the house the minute we walked in. Very clean, beautifully decorated and very welcoming. It is a small little house, but perfect for our weekend visit. The kitchen was well equipment with all the necessary supplies for cooking and eating. There is even a small counter top dishwasher. How cool is that!! The bedrooms are small, with small light stands for a small lite. The mattresses were very comfortable. I was able to reach out to Ed and Margaret any time if I had a question prior to our arrival or during our stay. We did have children staying at the house with us. For anyone wanting to stay at Faraja house with children, you need to know that this place is not listed as a "Kid Friendly" place. Not that our grandchildren were not welcomed by the Hosts, because they were. Just know there is not supplies for little children; high chair, booster seat, crib or pack and play, etc. Also know that there are railroad tracks across the street and the trains are active during the night. We did notice are are very few outlets throughout the house, however there is a charging station provided in the living room. We would certainly recommend this house to anyone.

Great Stay

Returned home for a high school class reunion and decided to book a VRBO instead of a hotel. This home is in a very quiet neighborhood and came well stocked with anything you may have forgotten to pack. The beds were super comfortable and the common living area was cozy, and our Hosts were very attentive. One issue which was totally my fault—I failed to note it only had one bathroom, and it’s rather small with no counter top space for toiletry or makeup items. The second issue was the lack of electrical outlets in the bedrooms to connect cell phones, watches or other electronics for the night. These were minor issues that we overcame quickly. Overall this properly served the purpose of our visit and it was a great stay.

Graduation Getaway

If you're looking for a bright, welcoming and comfortable place to stay, I highly recommend this sweet house. Super clean. Super comfy. And the air conditioning IS AWESOME. Ed and Margaret are wonderful hosts. They kept in contact to make sure we were happy and to see if we needed anything. Best part though, we flew in overnight and they let us check in early so we could get a shower and a nap. Go ahead and book a stay, you're going to love it.

Great Stay for a short Trip

This home was a great place to stay for our short visit to Newport News. Although we didn't eat meals at the home, if you wanted to cook I think they had everything you could imagine. Note that the coffee pot is not a Kuerig, so don't bring your pods! The house was clean and the beds comfortable. The bathroom is a bit small, but enough to do the job. There are trains running through, you can hear them but strangely enough it's not distracting. I'm a light sleeper and didn't hear them at all once my eyes shut. The neighborhood was safe and had we stayed longer, it would have been great to sit outside. They do provide outdoor seating. There are stores at the end of the road. The Property Owner make clean up a breeze so you can quickly be on the road.
