We had a great stay. Lots of beach toys, comfortable beds and couches, fenced in yard was great with kids. Only complaint was the sink in the downstairs master bathroom. It took 10 minutes to drain, leaving toothpaste and shaving residue to gunk everything up. The host was great about getting a plumber out quickly to look at it, but it was explained as “that’s the design of that kind of sink” and remained an issue throughout the week.

We traveled with our son and his family - 1 and 3 yo grandsons and this was perfect for our stay. Best was having 2 masters with en-suite bathrooms - on 1st and 2nd flrs; the fenced in yard, and oceanside of Atlantic, easy walk to beach. Lots of beach supplies in the shed. Dave was great to deal with, quick resolution of any issues, very accessible. It’s a comfortable lived-in home with plenty of room, everything you need for kitchen and cooking. This is noted in description but we almost missed it - bring own bedding and towels. Pillows and light comforters are supplied. We did not hear the traffic noise from Atlantic inside the house at night at all. This was the best option on the north side of VBa which is our preference. Some of the pics need updated there’s new furniture and beds which were very comfortable. Great house, would stay again.

Comfortable house in a great location. Steps from the beach, making the trek to the water so convenient and made even easier with the provided beach cart. In an area that typically has good waves and is a little bit away from the crowds in the resort area yet still within easy access to restaurants and shops. Would definitely stay again.

We had a great time. We always try to stay in the North End. You’re close to everything but much less crowded than the resort area. We had a no issues with this property, very conveniently located. Short walk to the beach, parking was fine, plenty of room for needs. Check in was great. Communication with the host was easy and fast.

Located in the residential/quieter end of Virginia Beach, but car noise at night can be an issue in some bedrooms that border Atlantic Ave. The house is a little dated, but very nice and clean. The beach cart that was provided made it easy to carry our stuff. The host was very responsive to any questions we had.

Boca Chica

This house had all of the amenities that our family needed, and there was plenty of room for all of us to spread out. The owner of the home was very communicative with me over the months leading up to our trip (making sure we had everything we needed, etc) and even left our family a Welcome Basket. The house was as described on the VRBO website. We would definitely recommend this rental to others.

Family and friends vacation

The location and neighborhood is absolutely perfect. The beach is a very, very short walk away and you do not need to cross any traffic. The other houses on the street are very quiet and respectful. The property offers a lot of amenities that we wish would have been more clear as we wasted packing space on things already in the house. Overall, the property is as described and pictured. A great place to stay on a quiet street but still very close to the busier areas if that is what you are looking for at night!

Great week with family and friends

My family of five and my friend’s family of 4 all met up here for the week. The house was big enough for all of us and had everything we needed. The walk to the beach was easy (even with kids) and the wagon that was in the shed was a huge help hauling our stuff. The beach had lots of room and wasn’t very crowded. We had a blast seeing dolphins and ghost crabs. Check in and out process was very easy and Dave was very easy to communicate with and answered all of my questions promptly . Would definitely recommend and hope to come back sometime!

Beachy

Davids place was large and spacious for our group. The kitchen had ample dishes and utensils as well as pots and pans. Blender worked great for our frozen treats! The shed had plenty of beach items and the wagon came in very handy. Note that while the home is in close proximity to the beach (just a few houses down the street) there is a bit of a walk from the boardwalk to the water, which was a bit hard for my older mother. David was very responsive to questions and had recomendations for a local seafood restaurant. We were very happy with our stay and would stay at Davids place again! Thank you!

Nice place!!

We all enjoyed our stay here. It was nice having the shed of beach items to use. Like others mentioned a well stocked kitchen. There was also a crockpot that the owner didn't know was there. My only " annoyance" is and I'm sure it's because I'm a rookie at staying at a place like this. I didn't realize I needed to provide hand soaps, tp, paper towels, etc. Of course never thought to ask either. So it's definitety no fault of the owners. I would certainly stay here again. :)

Overall Great Place

We enjoyed our stay at Boca Chica! Proximity to beach was awesome! Just a short walk down the block. Accommodations were nice. The only thing I believe that should be listed on the online booking site is that basic items are not provided. It listed that towels and sheets were needed but this is the first vacation home we have ever rented that didn’t provide toilet paper and soap at bathroom sinks. Also, things like a hair dryer, salt and pepper in kitchen weren’t provided. I know those are little things but with as much as we travel and stay in homes, those have always been provided. There were a few other issues but we notified the owner of them. Overall nice stay.

2021 Beach Week!

This is a lovely, updated home quite near the beach with a well-equipped kitchen and a lovely beach shed with a cart, chairs, and umbrellas. It was such a respite after such a long quarantine! We shared many laughs and a few tears. This is a great location, with no roads to cross to access the very nearly private beach. David was totally accessible by text and very helpful in every way. We had a problem with the dishwasher, which he attended to immediately. We had a few dinners on the deck that were a bit daunting because of the road noise. Other than that, we felt this was the perfect location away from the bustle of the boardwalk! I hope to return.

Great spot in the north end

We had a wonderful time. David, the host, was responsive and thoughtful, starting us off right with a lovely welcome basket with necessities and treats. He took care of the minimal issues immediately that we had during our stay. The house was perfect for our family of six (including young kids) plus a rotating cast of extended family during our stay. The bedrooms are all well appointed and provided lots of storage plus comfortable beds. The kitchen was well equipped and had nearly everything we could want for our stay. The beach shed had every bit of gear we could need, including the all important Wheeleez beach cart. The outdoor space was a dream, with a large deck, shaded table, and fenced yard for the kids to play. The outdoor shower is enclosed but does open on to the road facing side of the house so not quite as private as would have been ideal (but remained an excellent perk even still). We will absolutely be returning next summer.

Nice but not exactly what we expected due to distance to water

Our family decided that we would try a new beach locale this year. After many weeks of searching, we chose Boca Chica. Our party consisted of myself, my spouse, my elderly father, and two children. David was quick to respond to questions. The property was extremely well-kept and clean. The porch and table are decently sized, and there was plenty of seating for the entire family. There is also a shed that has a beach cart, several beach umbrellas, chairs, and toys. There are 4 parking places for the property & 4 for the other unit directly behind the rental, similar to a duplex. No one was staying in the other unit the week we were there so I cannot comment on noise levels coming from that unit. Two nights before we left, we almost called the police as there was an extremely loud, sustained argument at one of the places next door to ours. There was also lots of road noise all day and into late evening which I did not enjoy. I would suggest a white noise machine or fan if noise disturbs your sleep. The house is directly beside the main road but there is an intersecting street that you turn into to access the property. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook with but I was very disappointed that all of the cabinets were filled with dishes and other kitchenware and there was absolutely no room for groceries. I had to stack everything on the kitchen table the entire week. There is a dining room table also so we did not have to move things around constantly. The refrigerator/freezer, stove, and washer/dryer are in good working order. The dishwasher was difficult to turn on and did not dry dishes at all. We had similar issues with the coffee pot. The air conditioner works extremely well. Probably too well. We got chilly often, which usually does not happen in other costal rentals we have been in this time of year. I would definitely suggest bringing some throw blankets. The beds were comfortable. The BR downstairs is a queen suite with a full private bath. Upstairs is another suite with a king bed and private full bath. There is a BR with 2 twin beds, and another BR with a bunk bed (twin & full). Another full bath upstairs and a 1/2 bath downstairs. One tv in living room and one in king BR upstairs. Caveat - steps from the beach does not mean steps to the ocean. You have twice the distance to walk across the sand to the water. It was very hard on my elderly father. Also, beware of the huge drop off at high tide if you go into the water.

Catherine, I want to first thank you and your family for staying with us at Boca Chica! we have never once had any negative comments regarding loud neighbor noise as that must have been a rare instance. The beauty of our location is that we have a very wide beach and I'm sorry that your elderly father had difficulty. Most people comment on the fact that our beach is very wide and not crowded in a positive way! But I understand what you are saying. Best widhes and thanks again for vacationing with us! Enjoy the rest of the summer!
