I was very unhappy with my stay at this VRBO. I’m having to completely change my review because it won’t get published if I’m honest about my stay so I’ll just say that in my personal opinion, I did not get what was promised to me and it was an inaccurate listing. Cleanliness was poor safety such as no lights on the back porch poor. I had to continually ask people to move their vehicles out of the parking place that I was promised with my rental. If I could give this less than a one on my review, I would.I don’t expect any response from this as you already got my money

This is the type of review we get when a guest is embarrassed about showing up with a pet having not paid the pet fee. We asked for the payment and heard the excuses as to why it was not done. In addition, our listing states there is only one parking space - this guest arrives with two cars and a third guest arrving soon. Sometimes guests expect that their entitled attitudes will be welcomed and all expectations, no matter how disconnected from reality, will be met. Unfortunately, this is not possible.

Great little place for a short stay!

The location by far makes up for the size of the house which wasn't bad for us! We loved the easy/quick walk to the beach. Only "complaint" would be the amount of towels. There was only 4 towels for our stay with no washer/dryer. It's wasn't much of a problem as there is a laundromat near by.

Ideal location and cozy

The property is in need of quite.a few repairs.you’re definitely paying for location. Coming in at night was a bit confusion-GPS took us more to the public access which is literally adjacent. There also was not a lot of lighting until we pulled up into the parking space. It is cozy-we we’re fine since we were only doing a short stay and really just needed a place to sleep. Communication was amazing. We asked for extra towels and the WiFI was not connecting. All issues were fixed within minutes!

Nice but not worth the price

Overall, we were okay with the rental mostly because of the location. I do think it's a bit pricey for what it offers considering the size of the apartment. It does have charm but there were several repairs needed including a spot in the living room floor that felt like you could fall through if standing on it. The bathroom sink clogged as well. But the kitchen was nice and well stocked and the bedrooms were good. The living room furniture drastically needs improvement. There is free furniture on Facebook better than their saggy couch and stained love seat. I do like the quirky charm of the place and if it was not $200+ a night, I would not complain about the issues. This place is fine for a last minute booking or short term stay but could be improved with some easy fixes.

Thank you Nathanael for your review. We will be examining the things you mentioned and will be making improvements. It is a bit of a quirky home as it was built in the 1950's. We have made many improvements and are very proud to offer this little beachside home. Please come back again!

Very cozy place and very good location. the only thing missing is the laundry. I recommend it.

Very cozy place and very good location. the only thing missing is the laundry. I recommend it. The only thing that felt a bit uncomfortable was the sofa bed that you already feel the irons on the back. but everything else is fine. Thank you

Family vacation

This place was just enough for the 5 of us. A one minute walk to the beach, half hour ride to Virginia Beach...the perfect place to stay for the week.

Would I go back after my stay? YES

My stay was great the neighbors where friendly and the home was cozy. I felt at home and safe. The only thing I thought was I would be able to sit and see the beach from my back porch. But it was a very close walk to the beach. So pink flamingo we will be back soon.

Great location!

Exactly what we were expecting ! We love Ocean View and this home is right by the beach access stairs, so we could easily get back and forth quickly. There are convenience stores within walking distance should you need something, and so many restaurants along with anything else you need in a 5 mile radius of the home. The home was the perfect size for our family of 3 plus dog, and had all the necessities. If you need an affordable home oceanside , this is for you !

Quaint quick stay.

So the “views” described are not directly Anywhere near your back door. The only ocean view from the rental is the name of the street. The boardwalk is a good distance and there’s at least 3-4 properties between you and the water. The place has been painted over and over and over again that many doors that are meant to open has to be literally pulled by all your might to open. The pantry looks dingy. Nice small kitchen with an array of cooking and baking ware. Tiles in bathroom problem.. wouldn’t suggest walking barefoot as some of them are uneven and coming up off the floor. Smart cast TV worked the first night and then couldnt connect to WiFi second day. Decently comfortable beds. Water H and C not marked in showers so took a while to figure out which was which. Trial and error. All in all the price I paid and what I got wasn’t terrible but I would never pay the $200+ they are currently listing it per night. Note to owners. There’s definitely a lot of reflooring and tiny things that need to be fixed.

Victoria, perhaps our little beach side home was just not for you? There is only one property between us and the beach. Why would you post obvious lies? Yes we will certainly address any flooring issues immediately. We are very proud of our little Pink Flamingo and we think it is perfect for a respite to enjoy the beach. All the best and we hope to host you again!

We enjoyed the "Pink Flamingo"

The "pink flmaingo" was a cute place to stay super close to the beach. The smart lock makes it easy to check-in. It had everything we needed for our stay, the updated kitchen was nice. The house was very clean. The wifi was strong the whole time, which is important when you have teenagers! Would definitely stay again.
