This home was perfect to use as a home base for the activities we did in the area. The hosts attention to detail was very helpful. Fully stocked with anything you would need. We enjoyed sitting on the back deck to chill and lookout over the inlet. The pool table was a hit in the evening. There was a welcome basket of treats and bottle of wine on the table when we arrived Very thoughtful. You can't go wrong choosing this wonderful home.

We had an absolutely fabulous few days staying here. It’s so family-friendly and welcoming. I can’t recommend it enough. We enjoyed paddle boarding and kayaking in the early mornings, watching the sunrise over the marina, eating al fresco out on the expansive deck and laying many new games (there’s a treasure trove of them here!). Best place for kids we’ve ever stayed. We’ll be back next summer, only next time we’ll stay longer. They have everything you could possibly need, and they’re so responsive and thoughtful. If we could give it 11/10, we would.

Tranquil and peaceful property in the heart of the salt ponds area. Extremely accurate depiction of property wish we had had a week to spend here. Extremely clean and very well appointed. This was one of the best stocked and supplied VRBO properties that we have ever stayed in. The owners were extremely communicative. We will definitely be back if we ever need another property in this area.

This is our second year staying at Canary Island and loved being able to create new memories. This has become one of our favorite spots towards the end of the summer before the back to school madness!Kim and Pete are great…always responsive and takes the thinking out of planning what to take because their lovely home is full stocked with everything you need. We highly recommend staying here just not the 3rd week in August BTW Kim & Pete, loved the two window cushions for privacy and block the morning light in the primary bedroom!!!

Beautiful House

This is a beautiful house with spectacular views. The host left a wonderful welcome basket full of goodies which was very thoughtful! I would have given this a five star review but we had to leave early due to a burst water pipe which I know the host had no control over. We will consider coming to this property again!

We had an incredible experience at this VRBO property! The location was fantastic and offered a spectacular, peaceful view that made our stay truly relaxing. The house itself was immaculate, and the hosts went above and beyond to think of every possible detail. Everything was clearly labeled, and there were helpful notes throughout to make finding things effortless.We especially appreciated the thoughtful touches like restaurant recommendations complete with menus—such a nice bonus! Nothing was lacking, from the high-quality bedding and towels to the well-stocked kitchen and amenities. Communication and check-in were seamless, making the entire process stress-free.This was truly a next-level experience, and we can’t recommend this property highly enough. We will absolutely be back!

Great rental!

My family and friends had a great trip and stay at the Canary House. Communication and check in were easy. We loved eating and talking around the large kitchen island which helped bring us all together. Great location to the beach and position on the bay made for great evenings outside. The host welcome was very thoughtful and made my 5 yo nephew and friend feel very special. I was very appreciative. House is was extremely comfortable for a trip away. We would stay again.

Anniversary Trip

Fabulous VRBO. It was our 41st anniversary and the owners really made us feel special. We loved the house, the location, the view of the water/marina/sailboats. The house decor was lovely. Every room was great. The Owners left us wine and delicious snacks plus eggs/bagels/bacon for breakfast. It was the most welcoming VRBO at which we ever stayed. The Owners communicated with us to be sure we had everything we needed. We ate at the Restaurants they recommended at Fort Monroe and downtown raw bar. Both were excellent. We visited Norfolk, Jamestown, Williamsburg and Yorktown. Great history. We would definitely return to this wonderful VRBO!

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING !

This AMAZING property is located in a quiet residential neighborhood with friendly neighbors. The house is IMMACULATE ! The owners thought of EVERYTHING while preparing for guest. Honestly, we only needed to bring our clothing and food. It’s well equipped with appliances, dinnerware, towels, travel size toiletries and wonderful snacks for the family. We arrived early and the owners allowed us access with no hesitation. It was a great home for our family to celebrate our son’s graduation from Hampton University. I would definitely book this HOME again and again. 💙
