Convenience & Location!

Perfectly tiny-sized accommodations in a super convenient location for our busy weekend. Minutes from our event venue and close to the shore! I wish we had more time to enjoy the deck. We didn't anticipate the tiny-sized warm water situation for showers...so that does take some thought with more than one adult.

Hampton Tiny house

Nice little house, located perfectly for what we were doing…running the crawling crab 5k Saturday & 1/2 marathon on Sunday. Very close to the Colosseum where they started. Bull Island Brewing had great beer & the best crab pretzels and only a mile away. We also went to Ocean Vier pier for lunch Sunday only 15 minutes away, and hit VA beach on Saturday afternoon for a few hours. Had a great weekend.

Just right!

We were looking for something close the convention center. The tiny house was conveniently located and had a beautiful water view. Everything was perfect, wish there had been caffeinated coffee, but that was only a small inconvenience.

Not as quiet and private as we thought

Our stay was interrupted twice by the landscaper who cut the grass during evening hours at 7 pm while we tried to sit outside. I thought that was disrespectful and not quiet at all. Also, the outside cushions were invested by ants so we were not able to use them. Otherwise the tiny house was as advertised but I would not come back for a quiet weekend.

Nice and quiet

Ali and Stephanie were good hosts. They sent me the information way in advance about the property as well. It was a very quiet area and quaint as well. I liked that it is kind of central in between Newport News and Norfolk so plenty to do. The outdoor patio was nice even though it was a bit too chilly for us to hang out there. The water view was nice as well. Def would stay here again!

Best Tiny House Ever

The stay at this property was the second time for me and my husband. The host is awesome because I made a slight suggestion for a more accommodating stay for me and it was considered and done. The outdoor living area is the best feature. Last but not least the location is within a short distance to anywhere.

Great, updated tiny house!

Great house to stay at while in Hampton! House was comfortable for my family, enough space for 2 adults and 2 young teens. Location was central to many things we wanted to experience, the beaches, historic sights and more. Easy in and out to highways and shopping. The house also has a fantastic outside space, although it did get very warm during the day in August. The River setting was beautiful to wake up to every morning! Thank you for sharing your home with our family!

Nice and cozy, but not quite what we expected

We enjoyed staying here! It was nice and cozy for us. The view from the dock out back was beautiful. Sadly, the patio furniture was wet and slightly moldy, so we weren’t able to use it much. Also, we didn’t realize the house was in someone’s backyard. We never saw the people who were in the other house, but it was still a surprise to see we didn’t have the privacy we thought we did. We still very much enjoyed the stay, and the location to other places was great!

Lovely riverside retreat

We really enjoyed our stay, I wish it could have been longer! The tiny house was equipped with everything you could think of and was really quiet for being relatively close to a main road. The porch overlooking the water was great for relaxing.

Great tiny house that superseded my expectations. The accommodations are awesome; the location and the neighborhood are excellent for mature adults. I definitely would book this property again. I felt like I was home away from home.
