Perfect overnight stay

In transit, stayed one night overnight. Easy location to find right off I95. Excellent communication with Host; quiet location, easy check in. Close to amenities such as take out foods and corner store. House is also wheelchair/ Walker accessible as it is a bungalow with a ramp up to the front door. Highly recommend this rental.

Perfect for a one night layover

Driving from Canada to Florida, we booked this home for a nights stay on the way down and are returning for one night on the way back. It’s perfect! Great location, easy to find off the I95. You’ve got everything you’ll need. Fantastic yard. Completely fenced, perfect if you got a dog with you. Quiet, close to amenities.

Lovely stay

This charming house was perfect for my weekend visit in Richmond. My son and I, and our 2 small dogs had everything we needed or wanted. The huge fenced-in yard is a plus when traveling with dogs. Walking them in the neighborhood was also an option as it’s a safe, quiet community off of the busy road. The owner met me when I arrived to make sure I got in without trouble and let me know she was just a text away, should I need anything. Being early spring, the weather was cold and the bedrooms got chilly with the doors closed, but there are plenty of blankets as well as space heaters (I didn’t use the heaters) so that’s not a complaint, just for awareness. I would stay here again when I come through Richmond.

Disappointed

When we walked in the house smelled musty as if it hadn’t been cleaned.l for a while. It was hot and there were no directions about turning on the window units. We had to plug one in. The property owner could have cooled it down for us and would have made a better impression. The ceiling fan in the kitchen felt like it would fall down when pulling the cord to turn on the light. The tub in the bathroom was totally stained with a brown stain. No one would have wanted to step in it no matter if it had been bleached clean. I’m not sure how properties are vetted but this was not the quality that I was expecting and had experienced with VRBO before. I will be slow to try again.

Sweet Stay in Richmond

This was such a sweet little stay for my family and I in Richmond. The owner is very quick to respond to questions and very accommodating. No crazy lengthy check out processes like other VRBOs we've had in the past. Easy check in, even easier check out. Spacious kitchen and back yard.

Great short stay

We enjoyed our one-night stay - the house was just what we needed while passing through Richmond. The house is older and is nothing fancy but has all the essentials and was clean and comfortable. The neighborhood was quiet and we felt secure. We appreciated it was a dog-friendly house. There was a small hiccup when we were locked out of the house accidentally and when we called the owner we realized the phone number in the listing was not a valid number. Everything worked out in the end though and we were able to get back into the house.

Spotless

Immaculate. I prefer whole house rentals to hotel rooms when traveling with my 9 month old Mini Schnauzer, Baby. I like having outdoor space for the puppy to play. Now that I have retired, I travel a bit and must say that this is THE cleanest property I have ever stayed in. I stayed in a half million dollar lake house last week that was so dirty I slept on the recliner. If u r looking for modern amenities, this isnt the place for you. But if you are looking for a nice quiet clean spot to relax in, I highly recommend The Blue Door and Delores.

Clean little house

The owner was very responsive to our calls and the house was clean. We sent her some suggestions because the tv was hard to use and when we first let our dog out back in the fenced yard the gates were open. Luckily our dog is older n we were able to close n lock them before she got out. If she takes n uses our suggestions it will definitely be 5 stars. The location is nice n I liked the ramp out front for access.

About the host

Hosted by Ms Delores

Baby Boomer on the go, loving, living and smiling. Converted property from long term to short term rental and enjoying this new venture. Met some awesome people from many places around the world. Would like to meet you.

Why they chose this property

This property is in a working-class residential area and close to downtown Richmond with all the businesses, actives, restaurants and museums. It is also close to other areas such as Chesterfield, Midlothian and Petersburg. I 95 is only minutes away. People usually come to this property because of the home feel, parking and the peace it provides. Most events are less than minutes away. Swim RVA only 8 minutes away, and Providence Golf Club 13 minutes away.

What makes this property unique

Privacy, full kitchen, fenced back yard for chilling. Quiet neighborhood, no parking problem. Driveway big enough for 3 cars and trailers. Great for people traveling for work, up and down the east coast or just for fun times. Outdoor smoking area.
