Cute and Convenient Cottage

We rented this cottage to go to a wedding at Colonial Williamsburg. I had my husband and my son and his fiancé. The cottage is beautiful. Better than the photos! The cottage is convenient to Busch Gardens and less than 10 minutes to Colonial Williamsburg. The kitchen has everything you need to cook in. I cooked breakfast everyday. The bathrooms seem newly renovated and are beautiful. The soaking tub off the master bedroom is fabulous. I brought Epsom salts and essential oils to soak every day we were there! Parking is off street and roomy. The sunporch is a nice bonus! I loved having a sunporch. Nice quiet place to chill or to read. Lots of room in the cottage for four adults without "bumping into" each other. I highly recommend this cottage.

Return to Williamsburg

Superior property. Best we have visited. Beautifully renovated and completely restored to its 1918 glory. Wonderful location. Close to every attraction. Armando was a terrific host. We returned to Williamsburg since we visited here during our 1968 honeymoon. This lovely cottage made our return even more special. Looking forward to a return soon. This is a super five star accomodation.

Exceeded Expectations

I can’t say enough good things about Armando’s property and process for renting it. He is very responsive to emails, called to make sure we arrived safely, the house is fantastic, especially the kitchen, and the location is extremely convenient to Colonial Williamsburg, Yorktown, Jamestown, Busch Gardens, and Water Country. It’s also just down the road from Williamsburg Winery. Highly recommend this property!

Quiet & Quaint in the Perfect Location

We absolutely adored this property. It has been beautifully restored/updated. We made the trip up with our two small children for the weekend hoping to spend plenty of time not in the home; however, the weather had other plans. It was a wonderful place to snuggle up as a family for a lazy day and evening. As a side note, I will be using this beautiful home as a baseline for remodeling my own! Thank you!

Momma and Her Girls

I rented this property for a long weekend getaway for me, my daughter and daughter-in-law. Between the two of them they have five children six and under. The goal was for them to have time away to recharge and for all us to bond even more. This house was perfect! The location was convenient to everything we wanted to do and was just the right size for the three of us. It is clear much time has been spent restoring this jewel. It has been done well with with much thought to making it a positive experience. We would not hesitate to stay here again!

Beautiful Home

I cannot say enough great things about this BEAUTIFUL home!! The home was built in 1918 and all renovations put you in the 21st century BUT has the touches of 1918. The kitchen and master bath were grand but my favorite was the sunroom where we drank coffee in the mornings and had breakfast. Would love to stay again at this very lovely home. The owner was there for anything we may have needed. Thanks again Armando!

Fantastic Experience!

This property is one of the best vacation rentals we’ve experienced. The house was spotless and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We especially enjoyed the back porch at breakfast and dinner. The house is nicely located with easy access to Williamsburg, Jamestown, and Yorktown. The Williamsburg Winery is just down the road. The historic Chickahominy House restaurant is less than five minutes away. Armando is an excellent host and very responsive to questions. It was a pleasure to meet Armando and learn more about all he did to fully renovate this property.
