Great Neighborhood!

Our stay was a great location in a very quiet, safe neighborhood. We felt safe walking at night. Close to a grocery store and restaurants and a great home base to see historical sites and points of interest. Host was easy to communicate with and responded quickly.

Clean and well-equipped

This property was as advertised and was immaculately clean and so well equipped. The various seating areas afforded plenty of room to spread out, and the bedrooms were very comfortable. Our family would definitely return should we have a need for space for multiple family members in the future.

Outstanding home in pleasant neighborhood

This was a perfect home for an extended family stay - very clean and spacious. the fenced in backyard was a huge plus with small children. The kitchen was well equipped, and having a second living/family room allowed us to keep kids toys in one and have a quieter area for adults. Eileen was very communicative and easy to reach with questions. We will be recommending her home to others!

Great Stay for Graduation and other UR events!!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay for the University of Richmond Graduation Weekend! Our only regret is not finding this house 4 years ago to stay for parents weekends and other visits over the years! Communication with the homeowner was incredible and they were extremely flexible with allowing us an early check in! The neighborhood is adorable and so convenient to the surrounding Richmond restaurants/bars! You will NOT regret booking this VRBO and you will truly enjoy your stay!!

GREAT House!

We have rented properties from VRBO several times in the Richmond area and this was BY FAR our favorite! Great house with lots of space inside. Very comfortable - the house has a neat layout. Very easy communication with host. And very close to lots of stores & restaurants. We highly recommend this property!

Perfect for our family

The house is very spacious and the fenced in yard was exactly what we needed for our little kids and elderly dog. It was so nice having 3 bedrooms and two bathrooms. It’s a cute house and I recommend anyone thinking about it to book it. If we are ever in Richmond it will be our choice to stay there again.

Delightful Stay

Though the décor is a little dated, the house (which is 10 minutes away from everything my family needed) is spacious and cozy. The rooms were clean and well-kept. We were greeted one morning by wild bunnies and another morning by chipmunks! We had minimal complaints (a sticking door here, a missing closet doorknob there) but overall my family and I were quite happy with our stay.

A Piece of Home

I would stay again when I return home to Richmond. Spacious room. Loved that there were 2 bathrooms. Nice neighborhood close to shopping. Slept well. Truly enjoyed the property. Concerns: Animal hair on furniture (we vacuum) and TV reception in the 2 bedrooms was not good ( Even after battery change).

Home Away From Home

Tho dated to early 50's decor, the place was clean and had all we needed/expected. Compared to the VRBO we stayed at earlier in the week, this place was Heaven!!! Located in a comfortable neighborhood and convenient for all our sightseeing. Lovely weather and Spring blooms were uplifting. We enjoyed our stay there.
