Keep expectations realistic. Based on previous reviews I expected a true bed and breakfast experience. But it feels more like an airbnb. You get a text with entry code for main door and name of your room, which you have to find yourself in the house. The breakfast is at sharp 8 am, bagel/cream cheese, one fruit and coffee/tea. The bed is nice, sheets and towels are clean. The house itself is very nice. We ended up in a room with a shared hallway bathroom, the door to which would not lock [one guest was showering with the door unlocked, because of this I guess]. The soap was not refilled each morning. The bathtub for shower did not drain well. The attendant answered all phone calls when called but was seen only when he was leaving breakfast items in the morning. Not a TRUE bed and breakfast. Keep expectations realistic then you won’t be disappointed. [I had to rewrite the review because for some reason expedia did not accept my previous review].

This was our first experience staying at a Bed and Breakfast. We hit the jackpot. Rick provided incredible breakfast. Sharon has done a wonderful job decorating. It was such a relaxing environment. Perfect proximity to the beach. We really enjoyed a relaxing weekend. Just what we were looking for. Thank you Rick and Sharon.

This is a hidden gem from a bygone era. One doesn’t go to a bed and breakfast simply for a place to stay for a few nights and, oh, they serve breakfast also like every other hotel. No, you go to a bed and breakfast for the experience of unwinding and meeting no people. The caretakers here are wonderful in every sense of the word. The breakfast is simply amazing and is a fantastic way to start your day. I got a massage at the spa, which I should have done sooner. Everyone always say their massage was great but was amazing. This was exactly what I was looking to do to get away for the weekend. RELAX.

Rich and Sharon were attentive, warm and personable hosts. They made it clear in every way that they love being hosts through creating a lovely ambience for their guests, through serving creative and memorable breakfasts for their guests, and finally through engaging conversation. The house itself is beautiful, nestled in a quiet neighborhood that is minutes away from the beach!

Most of all, we loved the hospitality of the owners. They were very gracious and full of local history and information. They were very good at balancing when they needed to be available and when we needed privacy. They are a very lovely couple, and we would definitely stay at Barclay on our next visit to Virginia Beach.

Hidden Gem

Sharon and Rich were amazing, the establishment had a family feel. Breakfast was awesome, everyday was a different chef specialty from chef ( Rich ) . Just a 3 min walk to the beach and restaurants. They also have bikes, coolers, beach umbrellas chairs, beach wagons that make easy for everyone’s comfort.
