About this property

The Great Blue Heron- A private getaway home on Buckroe Beach

Stay at our cool and comfortable 3 bedroom house on the private side of beautiful Buckroe Beach. Enjoy a walk at the boardwalk in the evenings after spending the day on the beach. Make a barbecue on the deck looking at the ocean or go fish at the fishing pier.
Phoebus is a small town less than a mile away with local restaurants and antique stores. 30 minutes from Virginia Beach and 45 minutes from Williamsburg.

Walk right out to the bay!
This house is quirky with some maintenance issues but when we called the realty office with a few things noted, they sent someone to fix them. The price is somewhat high for an area with little to no tourism but we were visiting family and it fit our needs. House quirkiness aside. You can relax to the sound of the waves rolling in. You have access to a private beach (with friendly neighbors), there is a deck you can watch from as well. It was a wonderful week and we've already reserved for next year.

You can't beat the location!
While the house definitely had some band-aid renovations, you just can't get any better than being right on the water! The neighbors are very friendly and welcoming and the privacy is unlike any vacation I've had before. While I'm definitely concerned about how structurally sound the house is long-term, we didn't really mind much! Overall, we had a lovely and relaxing trip and truly loved waking up to the sound of small waves crashing on shore each morning.

Great location but leaks badly
Great location. Great area. Easy access to attractions. Previous reviews discuss leaks in the home. While there have been several visible attempts at solutions there are ongoing problems in the home regarding water. During light rain, the roof leaks on the rear wall of the home into the living space. During heavy rains the central main beam along the interior of the home leaks. There are visible signs of multiple areas of water intrusion over time. The property manager was prompt in returning my calls and came to take pictures of the leaks after a heavy rain. I’m confident they will continue to work on the problem but the root cause does not appear to have been identified. Despite the leaks, this place can’t be beat when it comes to beach access and beach community. Dolphins in the morning and collecting shells with the kids on a private beach with great neighbors is a real treat.
