Don't Make The Same Mistake!

We were very disappointed! They had a gas leak which never got fixed so we had no hot water & couldn't use the stove/oven. We had to use a 2 burner countertop burner which took along time to make a meal for 9 people. Had to boil water to fill tubs for a 1 1/2 year old & 2 young girls which took along time also. The adults took cold showers. We were offered to shower at her place on the day of the Wedding/which took place at the Condo. I really just want to put this behind us but somehow you need to make this right. I have never spent this much money on Vacation & it ended up being an awful experience. Also air-conditioners couldn't keep all of the Condo cool enough.

The Good:Check in was seamless. Easy to get in to the property and there’s an elevator that came very handy as my wife broke her foot the week prior to our stay.The property is in prime location. The beach is the backyard, which the kids love. Meals and snacks between beach fun was a huge plus. We woke up every morning for runs on the beach, sunrise pictures and etc. There’s plenty of space for three little ones to run around and have plenty of fun before starting school.The bad:The house needs some updating. As soon as you walk in you notice the power of photography and photoshop… the images make the property look a whole lot more luxurious than it is. The living room furnitures are falling apart. One of the twin bedrooms in the basement is unstable and my 5 year old fell while sleeping.The UGLY:The only reason I’m giving this a 2 is because it gets 1 point for location and 1 point for space. Otherwise, I would give it a zero. The property is marketed as an executive luxurious waterfront property… it is 600k shy of update to be qualified as such. For the amount of money one pays per night, I would expect better mattresses on the beds. One gets a better mattress at holiday inn. The comforter and pillow that is provided at cheap 10 items from Walmart (this is not an exaggeration). The master bathroom on the 4th floor has a hole. It rained every night that we were there and yep you guessed it, water was all over the floor. And there was mold and more

The location and views is 1000% you will go crazy with the stairs in the house. But there is an elevator so checking in with bags is easy. Everything is good shape. But if you have a critical eye like me you will find issues. Hopefully they revolve them soon.

Retro Relaxation

It was so quiet and so relaxing. I enjoyed the views and especially the ocean during the full moon! I believe if more investments are made many more will book this 90s vibe vacation home. This is definitely a vintage treasure and should be maintained but not toy changed. Lori is very communicative and I felt safe the entire time. Thank you for the stay.

Amazing place in its day!!

Beautiful views, lots of room, interesting architecture and lovely setting. Unfortunately, it needs a lot of TLC due to leaks, and simply being quite old. It doesn’t appear it’s used a lot. Ants were prevalent, especially in the master bath and others.. A few cockroaches were in the closets also. Might need fumigation. Even though those were the issues, my friends, and I enjoyed our stay, regardless of the crummy weather. fumigation.

Lack of toilet paper

Loved the location of this house!! Just be aware that even though it lists that it comes with paper towel and toilet paper - ONLY one roll of toilet paper is given per bathroom and one roll of paper towel in the kitchen. That's all. If you want more, you must provide them yourself.

Horrible Safety Hazard and Roach infestation

The location is great but the house is in serious need of repair and maintenance. Rust everywhere, dry rot in most of the windows a partially collapsed ceiling- which had half of it barely hanging and ready to fall. To complete the nightmare we killed more than six large roaches in two days. We left after the second night and got a hotel Asking for a refund but the owner is dragging her feet. VRBO needs to step in and get my money back. This is not an executive retreat. It’s a nightmare. Help VRBO!!! If I don’t get my money back I will report her and the service to the city as a health hazard.

Ants, Cockroaches, and Mold!!

I highly discourage anyone staying at this house. We arrived to ants on the kitchen table, floors and in the dishwasher. At night we saw 2 inch cockroaches along the floorboards. Great views to the ocean, just don't lean on any part of the deck because it's not attached and falling apart. A family member almost fell off the deck while looking over the dunes. All the showers and bathrooms had mold on the ceilings and hairs in the tub. We love Virginia Beach but not this house

Awesome beach getaway

This house is an awesome place to get away and relax. There are some issues with the house itself, such as part of the ceiling missing and exposed insulation, but nothing that interfered with the security or comfort of the home. The host did advertise a jacuzzi tub, but the jacuzzi function did not work. Outdoor hot tub was also out of service. Apart from those issues, we had a pleasant stay. The neighborhood is nice, and is close to many great restaurants and attractions.

The location was awesome! The dolphins gave us a show everyday! The house has a truly unique feel. The elevator was a help to get our stuff upstairs to all the floors. The kitchen was well stocked with all of our needs. The staircase ensured that we got our steps in everyday. The house needs some repairs but our host Lori is making them happen. Lori was extremely easy to contact and communicate with.

Girls' Weekend

The location is amazing. The house has a lot of deferred maintenance. The walkway to the beach was very dangerous. Loose or missing railings... sagging boards that were so loose we were scared to put weight on them. Stairs that when you stepped on them shifted under your weight. Also two of the bathrooms had not been cleaned prior to our arrival (toothpaste in sinks and hairs everywhere). We had a great time, the elevator made it easy to bring in our luggage, etc., just wish the accommodations had been in better condition.

Great house on Croatan

This house is right on the Atlantic and we had the beach to ourselves A LOT. It was a very spacious home and definitely met all the needs of our family. The dramatic staircase is unforgettable. There was an ocean view from basically every room. VB Boardwalk was a mile away by car. We had a few technical and mechanical issues but the host was very responsive. If you’re ok with a lot of steps (or an elevator) this place was a great beach stay!

The cleaning was not good. We had to mop the kitchen floor so we would not stick to it. No hot water up in the master bedroom. Hot tub was not filled could not use, also seen exposed wiring that look to be live. The condition of the deck was horrible was afraid my grandchildren would get hurt on it. The ants were horrible in the whole house. Was shocked that we only received one key to the house.

Great View, with a big caveat.

This house is in an amazing location and has a great view of the ocean through huge three-story windows looking out over the dunes. It has great bones and was once probably the shining jewel of Croatan Beach. Sadly, the property has fallen into a state of disrepair. The first thing that greets you when you walk in the door is the distinct smell of mold and mildew. That’s because the house has leaks. This has led to water stains and peeling paint throughout the house, and the ceiling has fallen down in places. While the beach is beautiful, your path to reach it is slightly perilous. The deck is falling apart, so don’t lean on any railings lest they topple over, and watch out for boards that are rotting out. If you just want the view and the proximity to the beach, this house is excellent! If you want the beach and a nice well kept home (much less “executive retreat”) you should probably keep looking.

Excellent Location

The architecture was very unique. Reminded us of a Frank Loyd Wright design. Breathtaking view… see dolphins surfacing several times every day! The most exceptional aspect of the property is the view- I would strongly encourage whoever stays here to gets up for the sunrise! Side note: On the middle floor, I would suggest fixing the sliding doors - remove the hanging handle, Attach the loose tile in the second bedroom . Provide an instruction manual for basic appliances- : Gen-air, TV, Sauna master bedroom, jacuzzi, resetting WI-FI locations. Locations of thermostats. Overall- exceptional- view- beach- access to basic needs- wonderful neighborhood to take walks- ease of access.

House in poor condition

This house must have been magnificent in the past, but has been poorly maintained over the years. There is a collapsing ceiling over the stairwell, the dishwasher falls out of the cabinet when baskets are loaded, the kitchen is infested with ants, loose carpet on a stair, most air intakes look like they have never been cleaned, and the cleaners left an unwashed sheet covered in feces in the washing machine. The beautiful ocean view is the only good thing about this house.

Beyond Disgusting

We received the key code and went to check into the home. The location is great. Upon entry a smell of moisture and mold hits you. As we walked through the home the leaking roof and mold was apparent. The home has mold and mildew around every window, door and the HVAC vents. All of the ceramic tile areas have broken and loose ceramic tiles- a hazardous condition at a home on the beach where you don’t wear shoes. Sharp edges will cut feet. The decking is old and dangerous. We had respiratory reactions to the mold in the short time we were in the property. vRBO asked us to photograph all of the fallen Sheetrock, rotten door and windows, broken tiles. After weeks of subjecting ourselves to the VRBO lack of responding, we did a fraud charge back through our credit card company. It was the only way we could get justice. I have photos of the mold and awful state of condition.

Our stay

the house was everything it seems like in the pictures however there were some issues with it. The dishwasher kept falling out of it's space when you tried to load it. There were signs of neglect throughout the house. The downstairs bedroom was moldy and dank and not fit for anyone to sleep in. The main living area was fantastic and the space itself was fun to hang out in. Ceilings are falling in above the stairs with half hearted attempts to fix ie plywood painted white. I would definitely rent there again as we had a great time if the place is still standing

About the host

Hosted by Lori Vernosky

We have been renting our home now for over 20 years. We love tenants and will do whatever is necessary to be sure they have a great place to stay. Come and experience our lovely vacation resort homes

Why they chose this property

We love Virginia Beach- centrally located in the mid-atlantic. Croatan beach is almost private with no street parking, but we still have lifeguard service in season. Really walkable neighborhood, almost surrounded completely by water. We live here too!

What makes this property unique

Expansive ocean views from almost all rooms. 2 stories of glass overlooking the Atlantic Ocean and beach. Dolphins love to show off
