Quiet beach - great family and pet friendly home!

The place was very clean. Check in and check out were a breeze. The owners were very communicative and had thought of everything, there were even snacks and dog treats. The bathrooms were very nice and beds were comfy. Easy access to the beach and they had TONS of beach gear for renters to use, we didnโ€™t need to bring a thing! We had a wonderful family beach trip!

Spacious beach with neighborhood feel

We stayed here with family, occupying both level of the Big Blue house. This rental is close to grocery stores and other conveniences and is as close as you can get to the beach. Beach was never crowded. Lots of construction noise going on outside, but that can't be helped. Would stay here again.

We stayed here mid to late June and the area was very private only a few other people on the beach. The water was calm and it gave us just the relaxing get away we needed.

Serene Seaside Views

This rental was lovely - enjoyed a weekend getaway with a friend and we loved waking up to the sights of the water. Meticulously clean with a really well stocked kitchen made our stay very comfortable. Loved waking up to catch the sunrise and see dolphins swimming close to the shore. A lovely, relaxing getaway.

Iโ€™ve rented plenty of vacation homes, all very nice, but this one by far was the best!! So clean, comfy, convenient and the owners thought of everything. Iโ€™m not a beach girl, but I thoroughly enjoyed this stay as did my fiancรฉ and son. Great location, fantastic viewsโ€ฆI canโ€™t say enough good things.

My stay at big blue getaway on the bay

The house and area itself was very beautiful and felt super comfortable. This place provided us snacks when we first arrived and beach toys and equipment to use at the beach along with board games and more. Overall the floor we stayed in truly made us enjoy our stay at the beach even more.

Our stay at Mermaid Suite

We all had an amazing time staying here. The place was clean and well equipped. They provided lots of high quality amenities and we appreciate it. Our chihuahua also loved it there and seemed happier than ever staying at that place. Access to the beach is lovely and location is close to Norfolk attractions and Virginia Beach. We hope to come back๐Ÿ˜Š.

Great family Spring Break

Rather than our typical Navy Lodge, we splurged on a beach rental and Big Blue was perfect! Rick and Merlyn havecreated a very relaxing and family friendly space. Their attention to detail was excellent- every need was anticipated- and made for a great week for me and my kids. We are looking forward to another opportunity to stay at Big Blue!

Home away from home

The property was even better than the pictures showed. I was expecting a nice room and a comfortable place to stay, but the little touches made it special. From coffee and cocoa to the incredibly soft blankets, it felt like home away from home. Just bring your luggage and yourselves for a great sea side experience.

Awesome stay

The Big Blue Getaway was a lovely place with ample amenities (kayaks, paddleboards, beach chairs, etc.) and attentive hosts. Being right on the beach was perfect for our family with ease to enjoy (very quiet and peaceful). We traveled toward Virginia Beach for most dining and activities (not much in surrounding area). Great stay!!

The Mermaid Suite was amazing. The view was amazing! So much room inside, with plenty of space for the 4 of us plus our dog. The bedrooms were very nice and nicely sized. The bathrooms were great plus you have your own laundry if needed. The kitchen was big and the layout was perfect. We loved our stay here at Willoughby Spit Big Blue! Very accommodating with lots of extras. It was wonderful to have a private beach area to relax and enjoy the surroundings.

Beautiful, clean house

The views of the ocean with dolphins playing was a great way to start the day. No need to bring anything extra as everything you need to enjoy the beach is supplied. In fact, all the basic necessities were provided for our brief stay. Although the unit is on the third floor, the steps were not exhausting. The pillows and mattresses were more comfortable than ours at home. Communication was excellent before and during our stay. We would stay at this comfy house again!
