We needed to travel to the Newport News area for a family funeral on fairly short notice, and this provided the perfect amount of space for the 12 of us (6 adults and 6 kids) to stay in together. We were only about 20 minutes from our family across the bridge, which was great. We also drove up to Yorktown one day and could have easily done Williamsburg or the beaches as well. Loved that the house is in a quiet area and had wonderful outdoor space for the kids to explore and play. My husband and son enjoyed fishing at the pier across the St James.
The inside of the house could use some updates, but was clean and comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed to fix meals. I would say that the bed/room configuration was challenging to navigate with 3 adult couples, as a couple of the beds were fairly small. Also note that one bedroom downstairs does not have a door. This worked fine for our preteen son, but may not be everyone's cup of tea! Also, the oven stopped heating properly on our second day, and the owner was very responsive in getting a technician out promptly.
Overall, this fit just what we needed for the weekend, and I would recommend it to others!
