Wonderful

Our stay was excellent. We really enjoyed the game room and firepit. The house was very clean and comfortable. We also had lots of fun listening to music on the jukebox.
We had a wonderful time staying here. Its perfect for a family vacation with people of different ages and interests. The game room was a huge plus and my kids had a lot of fun with the juke box as well. The beds were comfortable and clean and the property was easy to get to albeit somewhat rural and remote. We would stay again!
From checking in to checking out our stay was absolutely wonderful.
You feel so comfortable here. It’s very welcoming.
I look forward to visiting again

Liked: Check-in, location
Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy
Good gathering spaces, including the dining room and out back. Terrible response to requests made in advance and on arrival. Bedding & kitchen towels insufficient, some that smelled bad, non-absorbable shower towels, dirty couch, dishwasher we had to empty on arrival, inaccurate information as advertised.
Property is perfect for a family getaway in a peaceful setting. This rural location lends itself to many different activities in the area, or an opportunity to just stay there and relax. The arcade is great for all ages, and helps when there’s a rainy day and you still want to have fun.
A quiet get-away from the busy Williamsburg area with everything you need to be a tourist by day with downtime by night.
Easy ferry ride across the river to Williamburg. The history of the service and sacrifice of US Army Private Meyers makes the home a personal treasure.
Our entire group really enjoyed usuing all of the amenities of this pet friendly vrbo. The place was as described and the kids loved the arcade and using the firepit at nights. This house was well stocked with the little incidentals that are forgotten when packing. My only suggestions is that they have an exterminator treat the property.

Cracker Jack House
The house was roomy for the size. The bed were comfortable. There were some areas that definitely needed upgrading like the hallway bathroom and more lighting is needed in the kitchen and back porch area.
The property managers were very easy to deal and responded promptly to messages. They also fixed any issues immediately.
The location was convenient for visiting colonial Jamestown and williamsburg area as well as Jamestown beach. Basic food and supplies available nearby. The only negative was the musty smell upon entering unit.
Overall pleased with the home. There were some issues with a few things but our host jumped right on it. Communication was great.

There was a distinct musty/moldiness to the main living spaces of the house that definitely hit my families' allergies. The house was fine enough otherwise, though it was smaller than expected given the listing. Access to the main bedroom was through another bedroom, which meant going to our room at the same time that our daughter went to bed. There weren't enough hand towels and the remaining towels were non- absorbant.
The house is just as shown in the pictures. I was a little disappointed that there was no Ms Pacman video game, but that didn't ruin our stay. Communication was excellent. I would recommend this house to others.
Very rural but just enough civilization. Ferry ride to Williamsburg was convenient and fun for kids. Saw maritime museum at Newport News, Yorktown battlefield. Jamestown and Williamsburg. Brought two dogs. Everyone had a great time.
