Private and quiet

We stayed here mid to late June and the area was very private only a few other people on the beach. The water was calm and it gave us just the relaxing get away we needed.

My stay at big blue getaway on the bay

The house and area itself was very beautiful and felt super comfortable. This place provided us snacks when we first arrived and beach toys and equipment to use at the beach along with board games and more. Overall the floor we stayed in truly made us enjoy our stay at the beach even more.

Amazing Vacation

The condo was amazing. This was our first experience with this host and was extremely pleased. The place was very clean with many extras to make our stay comfortable. The beach access was amazing, it was not crowed at all. I would strongly recommend.

Amazing 😍

I’ve rented plenty of vacation homes, all very nice, but this one by far was the best!! So clean, comfy, convenient and the owners thought of everything. I’m not a beach girl, but I thoroughly enjoyed this stay as did my fiancé and son. Great location, fantastic views…I can’t say enough good things. If we visit the area again we’ll stay here again for sure

Beautiful, clean house

The views of the ocean with dolphins playing was a great way to start the day. No need to bring anything extra as everything you need to enjoy the beach is supplied. In fact, all the basic necessities were provided for our brief stay. Although the unit is on the third floor, the steps were not exhausting. The pillows and mattresses were more comfortable than ours at home. Communication was excellent before and during our stay. We would stay at this comfy house again!

Visit before deployment

We found this place last minute so we could travel from Pa to say our see you layers to our Marine. Super clean, large place. Wonderful views of the ocean from the living room/kitchen windows. Everything we needed to get that family time in! If he ends up bk in port after deployment we’ll be back!!! Rick was great to work with, allowed us to move our bikes into the foyer area so they were safer. Thank you!!

Right on the beach - very cozy and easy.

My mom and I had a great stay at this beachfront condo during our trip. The location is superb, right on the beach and very accessible. It turned out to be a perfect spot for both relaxation and telecommuting. The condo is spacious with calming bedrooms that offer stunning views of the ocean through expansive windows. We appreciated the quiet beach atmosphere and the friendly locals. Additionally, the rental provides beach equipment which was very convenient. It's exceptionally dog-friendly, complete with treats and a designated feeding area for pets. Although the condo doesn’t have a balcony, it wasn’t an issue for us since the beach was just steps away. Overall, a fantastic vacation spot that catered to all our needs.

Awesome stay

The Big Blue Getaway was a lovely place with ample amenities (kayaks, paddleboards, beach chairs, etc.) and attentive hosts. Being right on the beach was perfect for our family with ease to enjoy (very quiet and peaceful). We traveled toward Virginia Beach for most dining and activities (not much in surrounding area). Great stay!!

Quiet beach - great family and pet friendly home!

The place was very clean. Check in and check out were a breeze. The owners were very communicative and had thought of everything, there were even snacks and dog treats. The bathrooms were very nice and beds were comfy. Easy access to the beach and they had TONS of beach gear for renters to use, we didn’t need to bring a thing! We had a wonderful family beach trip!

Serene Seaside Views

This rental was lovely - enjoyed a weekend getaway with a friend and we loved waking up to the sights of the water. Meticulously clean with a really well stocked kitchen made our stay very comfortable. Loved waking up to catch the sunrise and see dolphins swimming close to the shore. A lovely, relaxing getaway.

Spacious beach with neighborhood feel

We stayed here with family, occupying both level of the Big Blue house. This rental is close to grocery stores and other conveniences and is as close as you can get to the beach. Beach was never crowded. Lots of construction noise going on outside, but that can't be helped. Would stay here again.

Home away from home

The property was even better than the pictures showed. I was expecting a nice room and a comfortable place to stay, but the little touches made it special. From coffee and cocoa to the incredibly soft blankets, it felt like home away from home. Just bring your luggage and yourselves for a great sea side experience.

Great family Spring Break

Rather than our typical Navy Lodge, we splurged on a beach rental and Big Blue was perfect! Rick and Merlyn havecreated a very relaxing and family friendly space. Their attention to detail was excellent- every need was anticipated- and made for a great week for me and my kids. We are looking forward to another opportunity to stay at Big Blue!

Big Blue 3 is an absolutely wonderful property with beach access and beautiful views. The apartment is clean and beautifully decorated.
