Great location! Close to the beach in a nice quiet neighborhood. House was perfect size to hang out as a family, deck is a great place to enjoy. Wonderful memories were made.
Great location, close to the beach and within walking distance of a few restaurants. It’s a bit dated, but as in most vacations, you’re mainly there to sleep.
We really liked the location. The beach umbrellas, chairs and wagons were very helpful with the two year old and all the kites and toys we took to the beach.
The three tables allowed us to do puzzles, drawing and meals at the same time. This is a well equipped house.
We look forward to returning to this property.
We had a fabulous week of family gathering. There was tons of room! Super close beach access. And we couldnt ask for nicer hosts! I think our only disappointments were: No ice makers or keurig, the dining tables were pretty rough, the porches weren't trustworthy and the closets and some of the dressers were dated, and our tub drained slowly.
Pros: The property has 2 kitchens, 2 loving rooms, plenty of bathrooms and bedrooms. Several bedrooms have thier own balcony. 2 sets of washer and dryers (great for large groups). The property has plenty of amenities to help you enjoy the beach and relax. The backyard is fenced in and there is free parking (great for VA Beach area). There are fire extinguishers, and other safety items at the property. The rules are not unreasonable for check out. The TVs operate on Roku. We didnt find remotes for each TV, but you can use the app without an issue. The property has a playroom- which was the selling point for my child. We had enough space and bathrooms in the house that we were not on top of each otherCons: The property needs to be fumigated. Spiders, wasps, flies and mosquitoes inside of the home (beginning the day we arrived) made it uncomfortable. Everyone has large bites and 2 were stung. The coffee maker in the first kitchen does not properly work. The property is dated which is disappointing when you are spending thousands of dollars to stay there. Several drawers did not work. One of the bathrooms only had cold water. The appliances are quite old and as others mentioned do not have water dispenser or ice makers. Late check in at 4 and early check out at 10am. * we checked into the place in the evening - so I am only sharing for awareness*. The stairs are narrow and one person got injured.
Spacious house, accommodated all 12 of us with no problem. Lots of toys for kids, and parking for 5 cars. Internet, AC, & TVs worked well. Beds were OK, and kitchen equipment was adequate (we cooked a lot). Nothing fancy, and common areas are a bit dark due to orientation of house and neighboring homes close by, but nice neighborhood. 2-min walk to beach.
My family and I and another family shared the property. We had a great time! The back deck in the backyard are great. The outdoor shower is great. The large dining room room is perfect for big groups. I highly recommend this property for large groups.
The property was in the perfect location, a nice quiet neighborhood very close to a great beach. No crowds, walking distance to everything you need. The house was very spacious, clean, and all around a great place to stay for a large family!
With 9 adults and 9 grandkids there was more than enough space for everyone and the kitchens had everything we needed. On sunny days the beach was great and just a short walk away. On the rainy days we visited the aquarium and kids museum. Great place for a larger family vacation to the ocean.

Great place to have family together and enjoy the beach at the same time.
Thank you for letting me use your home. It is beautiful and cozy. My sister from Colorado and my best friend from Texas really enjoyed the beach. Hope to get it again next year...
My family was in town for a funeral. We came from different states and met at the house. There were 12 of us and the ages ranged from 90 to almost 2 years old. The location was perfect. The access to the beach was easy and the owners provided chairs, towels, umbrellas, sun screen, and a wagon to haul it all down. Chics Beach was a wonderful location for the children to play in the ocean. We would definitely consider renting the house again should the occasion arise.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here! The location was ideal for going to the beach everyday and our entire family felt comfortable and accommodated with the house. Lots of good restaurants in the area and even a few walkable bars.
We loved how there were plenty of chairs, wagons, towels, and sunscreen for everyone.
There were a couple small things that we needed to reach out to the owners for, but they were quick to respond and friendly.
We would definitely stay again!
The house was clean and well-equipped. Kitchen supplies were in good shape and well-stocked. Beach equipment was also available for our use. The owner, Beth Hickman, was very responsive to our inquiries. We enjoyed our stay.
Property was exceptionally clean, and well situated for our use. The bayside beach around the corner had no crowds, and great contrast to crowded ocean side beaches. Very well stocked with beach chairs, etc. Nice back yard off the deck. Only issue was that while common areas could get downright chilly, the AC didn't flow into bedrooms, all of which were quite warm/stuffy at night.
PERFECT FAMILY GETAWAY and close to the beach! Huge house, very responsive owners
The amazing responsiveness of the home owner made this trip A WIN for us. We ran into some issues that their housekeepers missed and they were very apologetic and offered to quickly make it right. It is a huge home and very friendly for children (just needs some more outlet covers). We came to enjoy the beach and that is exactly what we did. Super easy to walk to. The large kitchen and huge family table made this a win for our family.
we had a wonderful time. The house was perfect. WE could have used more lamps in the main room as it was dark unless we turned on the bright overhead light. The electrical outlets in the bathroom stopped working upstairs. Y ou might want to check that. But overall, all was well.
Well maintained property suited our needs perfectly. While we came prepared for sun, the provision of sunscreen and bug spray was well appreciated.
Walked to beach daily with crew of kids 5-12; drove bikes to state park for trail ride; drove to North Beach one day for some bigger waves to boogie board on (but calmer bay waves were best for our whole crew), and wasn’t too crowded in either location.
Double kitchen came in handy cooking for such a large crew. Did hear some late night rowdiness on our last night but was overall a great experience.
Stayed in Va for a family get together and birthday celebration. The house was great with plenty of room for myself and family members. Altogether it was 20 of us and we were able to enjoy the house comfortably. It would definitely be a pick on out list if ever needed again. The only thing that I would say is the 2nd floor Queen bedroom’s tv was not working. Everything else was fine.
House was nice LOVED the master bedroom. Couple of things i'd do. 1st the welcome bag was nice that was left on table BUT I would have left TV instructions, local restaurants, grocery store or restaurant/ food delivery options. We found a Pizza Hut but took 2 calls to get the correct one. Also, the HK restaurant make sure u make reservations if you want to eat there. Other then that LOVED the deck great place to lay out on if kids don't want to go to beach and mom still wants to tan. Loved the closed in yard too**
