Our Slice of Paradise
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We spent the month of January in our little slice of paradise. Our unit was clean and nicely furnished. We loved walking in the park and on the beach. he proximity to the bay and ocean couldn't be beat. We also like the variety of restaurants within a short walk. Special shoutout to our favorite, Harry's! T We did have a few small issues which were handled quickly and efficiently by the RVA staff. Mindy, Michael, Lukas, Keith, and Jared were able to handle any questions or concerns we had. I would suggest replacing the chairs in the living room with something more comfortable, possibly recliners. We are already making plans for next year!

Great place to stay!
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This duplex home was very comfortable and loved the location... backing up to the beautiful Joan Durante Park and wonderful nature preserve where we took multiple walks each day. Steps to peaceful lookouts over the bay for watching the sunrise, and a short walk to the private beach for sun bathing and dazzling sunsets! The unit was well appointed with all we needed for a two month stay... nicely updated. A little special cleaning attention needed in a couple of areas but overall cleanliness was acceptable. Definitely would stay here again!
