Quaint Apartment By the Sea
Clean, safe, easy to get to. Did the job we needed it to for the weekend.

Comfy 1BR w pond view Kingsmill
Great stay in a nice, gated community! The space was comfortable and clean. The only thing was the coffee maker was a little touch and go. Not a big deal. We will be back when we’re back in the area!

Paradise in Williamsburg next to Busch Gardens
We have stayed multiple times at Vonda’s. She is an exceptional host and always so thoughtful and accommodating! We love how close her place is to Busch Gardens. We have stayed at both her places, will never stay anywhere else when we are in town! Highly recommended

Bayview Cottage on SML- Westlake R26'ish
The apartment is very comfortable and cozy feeling. Beautiful, peaceful surroundings. The kitchen and bathroom were both well stocked with anything we might need. Very nice outdoor sitting and eating area as well. We had such a relaxing time!

Three blocks from the Beach 2
Our stay was great! Our son is stationed there and Lynn’s place was so close to him.

Cozy Getaway Efficiency on Buggs Island/Kerr Lake
I had the best time staying here- I was staying here for a work trip, but I hope to be back to spend more time on the lake in this cozy and comfortable apartment. I usually have a hard time sleeping, but was able to peacfully sleep in this quiet, safe, and clean apartment with such a comfy bed. I felt right at home. Mickey and Ann were lovely, friendly folks who were gracious and loaned me a kayak when I had a free afternoon. Will definitely book again when I'm back in the Clarksville area!

Sojourn Guest House: Buckroe Beach Suite B
Was a wonderful stay we enjoyed the privacy and how quiet the area was will definitely be staying again for the next trip and recommending to people

Rustic River Retreat- 2 Bedroom Riverfront Lodging
It is a really nice, peaceful place, with beautiful surroundings, great host, place is close to many outdoor activities.
House rentals with beach access

Secluded beach front cottage on the Chesapeake Bay
My absolute favorite airbnb ever ! This was the 3rd time I've stayed here, and if I could afford it, I'd go monthly. The location is perfect, right on the water, small private beach, lots of privacy and soooo incredibly relaxing. The house is very well laid out, super clean and comfortable. Keri provides more than most hosts, from the kitchen and bathrooms, to beach gear, movies, books, games, and the kayaks ! I love love love this house and location so very much. It feels like "my" home away from home and I'll continue to go back as much as possible. THANK YOU again Keri, for another amazing getaway !

New Beach Home on the Chesapeake Bay
David’s place is fantastic, just a few steps from the beach. We had a great stay!

Welcome to our beach house.
This place is wonderful! Awesome views and wildlife! So quiet you can hear the birds wings flap in the air. Host was very responsive and we Definitely will return.

The Glebe
Excellent stay at RivahLife! The views were spectacular and the home was exactly as described. Easy to find with lots of stuff for the kids and adults. Looking forward to returning during the warmer months as the fishing, boating, and swimming would be more desirable. Thanks for the high chair and portable crib. Those things really help when traveling with kids.

Quiet East Beach Bungalow, 1 block to beach!
Beautiful place with modern upgrades. Access to the beach was super close and just a block away. Neighborhood is quiet and we enjoyed walking our dog in the nearby park. We look forward to returning.

Serenity by the Buckroe Shore - 30+ Day Rental
Beautiful comfortable home with great hosts! We enjoyed our stay at Steven and Susan’s home. The house is newly renovated, clean and comfortable. We loved walking to the beach every morning and evening and relaxing in this beautiful home. The hosts are very responsive, friendly and helpful. The beds are very comfortable and the kitchen is nicely equipped. Thank you for having us!

Roomy House in Bayview
Emily was an excellent host! She had clear and easy instructions, the place was very homey, petty, and well equipped. It allowed each guest in our group of three professionals on business travel their privacy, as well as community space, and opportunities to take a walk in the beautiful and quiet neighborhood, close to the beach. Definitely recommend!

4 Bedroom plus loft walk to bay beach
The house was very nice, it was cleaned very well when we got there and there were plenty of amenities for everyone. The beach is accessible with maybe a two minute walk. The area is pretty, we saw horseshoe crabs and jellyfish at the beach, and the neighbors are friendly. The jellies can sting, but the kind of jellyfish here are painless enough that I initially thought I got bumped into by a floating stick, and the locals at the beach completely ignored the one in the water. The nearby restaurant/bar stays pretty busy, but it’s really nice as well.
Condo rentals with beach access

Beachside Condo | 2BR/2BA | Cross street to beach!
We stayed at the condo for the 2 nights before my son had to fly off to Europe. We were only 13 minutes from the airport so that made his 7:50 am arrival time awesome! We had to do a bit of shopping and this place was really close to a lot of areas we needed to go to! The cafe right around the corner is awesome with a great chai latte!! 😊 Thank you Jennifer for the amazing condo and location!! 🤩

The Lake Getaway at Lake Gaston
Really cute place in a great area with super nice neighbors. Stay was comfortable. The kitchen was stocked with everything you need to cook. Bed was comfy. Bathrooms were clean.

Excellent Rates, Updated, Ski-In/Out, M/L, Extras!
Had a great ski weekend stay! Great view of Ball hooter lift. Will definitely be back!

Walk to beach large 2/2 in "Kingsmill on James"
Gayle’s place was a great location to stay at with our dog!!! Great neighborhood to walk him in and the marina/beach is an added bonus! Gayle was very communicative and check in was easy. The space of the condo was great for a family and large dog! We will definitely be staying again!

4/25-4/27 AVAIL Bernards Landing BEST VIEWS 2B
This condo was perfect for our weekend getaway! Newly renovated, comfortable furniture and amazing views. Host was a pleasure to work with!

Moondance at Bernard’s Landing
Kathleen’s condo is wonderful, very clean with tremendous views of Smith Mountain Lake and the mountains. We truly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend this for a getaway of relaxation and rest, but also in close proximity to a lot of great activities. Thank you, Kathleen.

Dock Holiday at Bernard's Landing
Excellent place to stay at. Things are easy to get to and a straight shot to go shop and eat or go to the beach with a gorgeous balcony view. Condo was very clean and I could not complain.

Cozy, clean, quiet mountain condo- King bed
Ritta's condo is clean, spacious and comfortable, situated in a woodland sanctuary of peace and quiet. Loved each morning and evening of spacious solitude.
