Welcome home

Property was a convenient location for what my family wanted and needed. Property was clean. Host was responsive and accommodative. Beach on bay a 5 minute walk. Small little beach on property great for the kids while adults can watch and chat around a fire. Ample seating inside and out. Would stay again and recommend!

Great Stay

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Willow-by-the-Bay. Wonderful beds, bed linens and air-conditioning. The home was spotless with a well stocked kitchen. It was wonderful not to have to bring linens as you do at many rentals. This home was perfect for four friends to get away together. We particularly enjoyed eating at the seafood restaurant on the Ocean View Pier. It was pleasant sitting outside for an evening cocktail. You will enjoy your stay.

Great property, perfect location.

We really enjoyed our time. Bonnie was very responsive and accommodating. The location was great for us. Our son is in the Navy so he was able to stay with us when he wasn’t working. It’s a short 25 minute drive to VA Beach and a 20 minute drive to the zoo. The small beach right outside the back door was a big hit for the kids and the dogs. The only negative we had was the water in the house didn’t get hot. It was warm enough for a short shower though. Either way, we had a great time in a great property and we will definitely stay again.

Girls Trip

Enjoyed stay in Norfolk. Very. I’ve accommodations. Only that seemed a little off to me was unavailability of TP! Was half a till when we got there for two bathrooms. (But, we were instructed that we would be responsible for toilet paper) Also beds were not made up, sheets were folded and in rooms. But very. I’ve place and would definitely stay there again.

Short stay

The house was very nice enjoyed it very much. I was not thrilled with the location. The beach area was not clean, needed to be raked, there was seaweed. The first night we got there the kids wanted to swim, my granddaughter hit thr rocks and was all cut up from them. There was not much to do in the area, i personally did not feel safe in the area. I think it was a little pricey.

Noisy Location

There was consistent road noise from the interstate. Helicopters and planes flying over head at all hours of the day and night. Road construction on the interstate also occurs at night. If you are a light sleeper bring noise canceling head phones. Also, bring extra towels. Only 1 towel is provided per person, and were denied any additional when requested.

A perfect week

We had such a great time during our stay! The house is just right- comfortable beds and furniture, well equipped kitchen, and a beautiful view. My parents both have some mobility issues so we were looking for a place with everything on one level and this space met our needs perfectly. We enjoyed the back yard beach, and used our kayak every day because we didn’t have to carry it anywhere. The kids enjoyed playing and swimming right outside their door, while the adults hung out on the patio. There’s a heron that lives nearby and is a lot of fun to watch. We can’t wait to come back!

Private beach getaway

My sisters enjoyed the water, beach and fresh air. They also enjoyed cooking in the kitchen and making traditional foods from our childhood. We also enjoyed the Norfolk scene! Premium Outlet Mall, Ocean View Pier, Chrysler Museum and Navy Exchange. A great week despite the heat.

Exceeded expectations!

It was the perfect place for our family! The living area was large and open for family, the kitchen was open and incredibly well stocked with dishes for meals, baking, and whatever. Don’t let the entrance photo fool you- the house is almost completely updated and very comfy. The pier was a huge bonus for those who wanted to fish and even try to crab, despite poor weather. We were sorry not to be able to better utilize the fire pit and spacious upper and lower decks.

Very relaxing

We chose this home due to the location on the bay. It did not disappoint. Even though the weather was only in the upper 60 to low 70's the kids enjoyed the sandy beach and the water. Nice to have a place that is level and not too deep for the little ones to have some independence while playing. Will definitely come back when weather is warmer.

Great Thanksgiving!

So enjoyed our holiday at this property! The house was clean, weather was great, our pups loved playing in the yard and water, the kitchen was stocked with everything we needed for meals, and we were a short walk from beach access and a short drive from great breweries. We also got to experience Holiday Lights at the Beach! Would recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing trip!

Shabby Chic

This was my first time at a VRBO property. I am not sure if I will do it again. The house is somewhat dated but clean enough. There were no sheets on the beds and we had to make the beds after having traveled all day. Not a relaxing end of the day! The patio furniture looked like it had been picked up at a cheap yard sale. The yard and small beach area are the nicest part of this property. The instructions from the owner stated that we needed to clean off everything we used but we had to go get those supplies ourselves, including any paper products. For the price it was an okay place to stay.

Wonderful stay!

Our July 9-16 2021 vacation in Willoughby Spit was absolutely amazing! The home was just perfect for our family (5 adults 2 children and 2 dogs). Very clean and wonderful amenities. The location of the property was perfect for us...so many things to do and so many sights to see! Being a military family, it was just absolutely perfect to have the Naval Base across the bay...The last night we were watching Seal Teams jump out of Black Hawks and rescue dummies in the water....We would chant USA from the end of the little dock as the Black Hawks circled overhead. The little beach is so WONDERFUL! So soft and sandy! My children loved waking up each day to go play in the sand. We went to the USS Wisconsin, the aquarium, the large beach a few blocks away and the pier. A fantastic trip for all! We thank you so very much for allowing us to rent your perfect little home. Until the next time!

Great spot!

We had a great time even though it rained. The location was everything we wanted. Only exception would be the hour we had to wake up every day. Unfortunately the upstairs resident was a early riser and like to vacuum and start the dishwasher. For Three Chicks who was on vacation to rest relax and get some much-needed sleep it was a little annoying. Oh and the bicycles could use a little work, but we rode them and survived. Other than that everything was nice, comfortable, and as the ad stated.

This house has a great open area for hanging out together. Large deck out back for grilling, even a lil firepit for Smores. Little private beach was nice too. We were a group of 7 adults & never felt cramped.
