We LOVED staying here! The home was beautiful, steps to the beach (in a private area, which we were extremely grateful for), and had so many restaurants 5 minutes away at the strip. The neighborhood was gorgeous, and Nicole & Mike were so kind to even set up age appropriate toys & a birthday balloon for our daughter. They also gave a wonderful dinner recommendation! We will absolutely be back!

We had a wonderful stay at the beautiful Blue Dog beach house! The amenities were top-notch, providing everything we needed for a comfortable and enjoyable visit. The highlight was the location – just a short walk to the beach, making it perfect for daily seaside outings. The host was very kind and pleasant to work with. Five stars all the way!

We have stayed at the blue dog beach house for the past 2 years and it has been wonderful and perfect with each stay. This year the bathrooms were renovated and they did a fantastic job. House is well maintained and fit our family well. Truly steps from the beach!

Such a great house! We had multiple families and it was perfect. Walkable to the beach. Great, quiet neighborhood. Quick to downtown, boardwalk of VA Beach. The host Nicole was super responsive and helpful. House had everything we needed and was pristine! We loved our stay and would highly recommend!

We had a wonderful stay in Nicole's home! Her house is absolutely gorgeous - spacious, bright, and immaculately clean, located in the most peaceful neighborhood just steps from the beach. She was a perfect host- kind, thoughtful, totally responsive, and professional. We would be lucky to stay with Nicole again!

Awesome property - house is beautiful, and neighborhood was gorgeous and quiet. The location was within minutes of beach, boardwalk, and shopping areas. Nicole is a super host. She provided tips for everything you could think of and answered all of my questions prior to our arrival. Nicole made our first time using AirBnb an easy task.

Nicole’s home was beautiful! It was the perfect stay for our girls trip. It was close to the beach, a close uber/Lyft to restaurants and shops, and she was very prompt with her communication. Would highly recommend their home for your VB stay!

This house is an awesome getaway and the host offers tons of flexibility, which is why my family was able to book a beach vacation this summer, so we are super grateful. I grew up going to this beach so I love coming back to the neighborhood. This house is a perfect place for 6-10 people and is a short walk from a very secluded and not crowded beach. Would definitely stay here again!

Nicole’s place is PERFECT for a group. We had 9 friends who hadn’t seen each other in a while, and it was everything we could have wanted. It rained a couple days while we were there, so we didn’t get to enjoy the beach, but it’s SO close! Great space for hanging out and getting ready.
