It was very nice to have easy, free parking in this very busy area. Only 2 blocks to the beach & boardwalk. Very good location to get around Virginia Beach mertro area. Continental breakfast is good with fresh fruit and bagels but not expansive. Plenty of self serve tea & coffee options. Really liked our 2nd floor room with a large private bathroom. The outside porches with the rockers are outstanding.

A very nice historical building. Newer owner bringing it back. Beds comfortable, location to beach and down town great, however balance that with traffic activity /noise being on a corner lot. Having earlier serving to continental breakfast is an opportunity.

We had stayed here under the prior owners. I was disappointed to no longer have a gourmet breakfast, but Chris more than made up for this. He helped me navigate the push-button locks and got me a key fob for our room (just in case). He advised a few breakfast spots (both excellent) and provided us with a clean, comfortable room. We'll definitely stay with him again.

I had read one of the reviews where they said the breakfast was so fabulous. I was here for three nights, and the breakfast was the same every day. There was a bowl of fresh strawberries, and a pastry, and it was the same pastry store-bought bagels, not fresh we’re available for toasting and there was a basket of clementines and orange juice and coffee. It was adequate, but I would not have said it was a fabulous breakfast. The only other issue is that it’s fairly noisy because of the location has nothing to do with the house itself.
