Laid-Back Lakefront Luxury Near Bay & Beach: Welcome To Wiseacre!

Just say no to another generic bare-bones short-term rental.
Welcome to Wiseacre Estate, an expansive Coastal Virginia retreat reminiscent of 1950s Las Vegas.

This whimsical 4,000 sf Mid-Century Modern pad provides a relaxing escape from the rat race, with 2 guest bedrooms & en-suite bath, a cavernous 800 sf great room, gourmet kitchen, dining table for 8, hot tub, porch & patios, all on one level. Rejuvenate on 3 acres of landscaped grounds directly on Lake Whitehurst (freshwater fishing).

> Our award-winning short-term rental is a HOME-SHARE. This means your Superhost lives at the property. I am typically in my office, allowing you access to all spaces. Think of it like having a butler on-call in a fully stocked home. Please see our 495+ five-star reviews.

> 2 private bedrooms with queen beds, one with smart TV. They share an updated jack & jill bath w/step-in shower. Additional sleeping options for large families and groups available in the Great Room.
> Full use of kitchen & appliances. Coffee & tea.
> Hot Tub within all-season porch (robes & towels provided), 2 outdoor terraces.
> Keyless self-entry, WiFi, unlimited off-street parking. Amazon Alexa.
> Curated furnishings, vintage collectibles and an ever-evolving art collection.
> 420-friendly. Space outdoors to enjoy.

> LOCATION: Virginia Beach oceanfront is a 15-minute drive. 5 minutes to Chesapeake Bay; Richmond 90 minutes door to door; DC is 3 hours away.

> FREE entrance to Norfolk Botanical Garden for up to 6 guests!

PLEASE NOTE
> NO VISITORS to the home other than those booked overnight, without discussing before arrival.
> Guests only. NO WEDDINGS OR EVENTS.
> Sorry, Wiseacre is no longer pet-friendly. Too many howling dogs with social anxiety.
