Just what we needed!!

If I could rate this property 10 stars I would. the owner was extremely accessible and responsive to every need and inquiry. The property is extremely clean, well organized, and full of the amenities and supplies needed to make you feel at home. After a horrible experience at a different property this owner made sure that we were well taken care of during our stay. The property is located just minutes from beaches close to grocery stores and other shopping centers. If you would like to have the home away from home experience do not hesitate to rent this property.

So so

There was NO hot water, lighting very dim, and none of the televisions worked properly. We were expecting to be able to use the patio for games but the deck wasn’t open for use. Aren’t many dishes in the kitchen that is infested with flies. We expected more out of the trip due to the photos of the home.

No Air

We showed up after driving 9 hours in 100 degree heat to no air. We had to get on the phone with the property manager and VRBO to get it situated. We were refunded, but it was very inconvenient looking for another place for 6 of us on short notice.

Hampton House

Our stay was okay but the house does need some repairs. The patio is in bad need of repair as well as the plumbing. Every time we flushed the toilets up stairs there was a loud rumbling in the house for a few minutes. This became quite annoying. Fixing those issues would get great and a refresh of the decore to bring the house up to date would make it a 5 out of 5 stars.

Nice house, bad service

The house is nice, updated. Trash pickup had been missed, founf 2 big barrels of trash already there. Smelled horrible every time the front door opened. Tried to have it removed. Was still there when we left. Also, lots of ants in the living room

It was to quiet even a little scary.

I am a native New Yorker, when I left New York, I had been living in Yonkers, New York for many, many years. Its located in Westchester County. Its much more quieter than the city. Your area was to quiet for me. Other than how quiet it was we thought it was a beautiful neighborhood, the houses are too close but like I said a beautiful well kept neighborhood. I might would come again and I would recommend it to others we know if they are traveling in that area. Thank you so much for everything.

Convenient but…………

Was in Hampton for my son’s graduation. Property was very convenient to Hampton University. The cleaning crew did not do a very good job. Windowsill, baseboard, shower curtains were not clean. The outside trash cans were not emptied so we had to pile trash bags beside the cans. Parking was already limited but there was a large work trailer left in the driveway. It would have been nice to be able to go outside on the deck, but it was under construction.

Okay

The property was not very clean when we arrived. There was trash under the beds in all the bedrooms. Sucker stick in the master bedroom on the carpet. Another kind of candy in another bedroom. There were ants in the twin bedroom window and the living room. The downstairs floor was really sticky. Also every time you flush the upstairs toilet the pipes rattle. Good part of the property was that is was close to Buckaroe beach.

Convenient

Convenient location for us, everything was exactly as shown in the pictures and clean. Finishes are starting to get worn down, it looks like it was bought in ~2009 and no maintenance has really happened since. All the smoke alarms are disconnected. There is no "ongoing construction" of the deck, it's just been abandoned and destroyed by the weather since then. So somewhat disappointing to have no access to outside. I understand that it was an Indian religious symbol for hundreds of years before WW2 and that's how it's being used here, but it's still a bit disconcerting to find several swastikas in the art of a rental property (they're in the listing photos if you look closely).

Very accommodating home. Well taken care of.

Property is near everything and neiborhood is nice. Amit, the owner was very friendly when I needed to ask a question. We got in earlier that scheduled and both he and his cleaning service person Corwin got back to me immediately to assure me that the house was already ready to go in. That was Great because we were so tired after coming from so far.
