Thank you for considering us for your vacations, short Get-a-Way's, kids travel sports events, business travel, family reunion, holiday gatherings etc. Please note, non family groups must all be over 25 and you will need to acknowledge our special occasion / party policy.
Our property may not be used to host a party with guests who are not listed on the rental agreement. We live in a quiet neighborhood and do not rent to anyone who wants to throw a big party. Violation of this policy is immediate grounds for eviction.

Our home is a great alternative to a hotel for families who want luxury, comfort, space and the option to cook in or eat out and watch the kiddies play in the pool or hot tub without the noise of a crowded hotel in a resort area. Our location is a paradise for boat enthusiasts who want to vacation with their boats or just relax and watch the boast go by. We believe you will love staying at the Double Dolphin as much as we do. We would love to talk to you and answer any questions. We offer online booking if you are ready to book now. Send us a booking request and we will respond right away to confirm your reservation.

As with all Mid Atlantic vacation spots we are subject to hurricanes between July and Nov. Please consider travel insurance. VRBO offers a plan but there are other insurance options. Check your insurance carrier or search on GOOGLE. It's not expensive and safeguards your vacation monies.

We hope to hear from you soon.

House
House is in a great area. We loved the creek view and all the animals and boats go by. We would loved to be able to swim in the pool but it was cold. The hot tub was great. The house was perfect also. If you want to stay and go to the beach everyday, this house is a little further out. It is about a 15-25 minute drive there depending on the traffic.

wedding weekend stay
It was a very nice property and very conveniently located to where my daughter's wedding was at the Gala. The property owners were extremely nice and they let us come in a day early because our flight had changed. Because our flight got in late, they provided us coffee and croissants to eat the next morning, which was very thoughtful.

Wonderful family get together
My husband and I stayed at Susan‘s house while visiting our grown children for an early holiday get together. The place was amazing. Susan even went and had the house decorated for Christmas, tree and all! There was plenty of room for everyone. Enjoyed sitting in the family room, watching movies and working on a puzzle provided. The outdoor seating area was amazing with spectacular views. The kitchen was fully stocked and the perfect size for cooking meals for the family. would definitely recommend staying here!

About the host

Hosted by Susan and Dan Beard

Host profile image
Hi, we are Susan and Dan Beard and we just purchased this house in the summer of 2016. We have 2 other rental properties in Cape Hatteras which we rent on VRBO. It has gone so well over the years we decided to invest in the Virginia Beach Area. This area is home to me, Dan is from Conesus Lake, one of the finger lakes in Western NY wine country.

Our Jobs have moved us around the Eastern US but we both have a love of the water and it's always been our dream to retire in this area. We hope you enjoy our house until we can retire here.

We firmly believe vacation time and time with family and friends is the most valuable time we have. We always strive to make your vacation stay at the Double Dolphin the best experience of your year. Our reviews echo this sentiment from vacationers like you. If you check out our reviews over the past 10 years on our other VRBO properties (401474 and 685444) you will see our renters are quite satisfied with the way we have managed our properties over the past decade and we will strive for the same excellence with Double Dolphin.

Though the reviews have been good and we have worked with many awesome families our experiences have not all been good. We have run into trouble with renters hosting large parties and had lots of damage and stolen property. Please keep in mind we are not a big corporation with unlimited funds or a hotel with a large staff. We are working people trying to provide a good service and a nice place to vacation. Please help us by following house rules. Thank you.

Why they chose this property

This house is our dream realized. Once you see it you will understand why:-). Amazing water views, Blue and Great White Herons nest in the trees across the river bank. Our home is furnished with your comfort in mind. We have premium beds and bedding, a well stocked kitchen and our location is perfect for relaxing in a quiet area. We are removed from the chaos of the boardwalk but close enough for you to enjoy it with a short car ride. If you have ever had to endure the "party next door that blasts until 4 am" when you wanted to sleep, you will appreciate our best of both worlds location.

What makes this property unique

Our waterfront views and proximity to the beaches are priceless. Enjoy all Virginia Beach has to offer without the tourist crowds on the boardwalk. We are 45 minutes from Colonial Williamsburg and Busch Gardens. Its about 3 hours by car to Washington DC. We have First Landing State Park 2 miles away. For the military buffs we have the Norfolk Navel Base, home of Aircraft Carriers and warships aplenty and the Naval Air station in VA Beach houses amazing fighter jets.
