Hampton River Retreat Deluxe Spacious Waterfront Home Near Downtown

Great value for the money, wonderful hosts that are very renter friendly

We were a little nervous booking this home since it was our first time using VRBO and we noticed a few reviews that weren’t 5 stars. But I’m so glad we went for it—our experience was awesome!The house has an older, nostalgic charm that really added to the stay and definitely didn’t disappoint. Check-in was seamless, and we were pleasantly surprised with a thoughtful snack basket, which was a nice touch.We especially loved how quiet the area is—it made for a very relaxing getaway. There was plenty of space for our family to spread out, spend time together, and truly enjoy each other’s company.Also, thank you for the quick and helpful responses whenever we had questions. That made everything even smoother.Overall, a great experience—we’d definitely stay here again!

We enjoyed staying here, an easy walk to downtown Hampton.

Had a pleasant and easy stay, just like the last time. Good location, nice house, very clean.

We arrived expecting what was advertised, only to find a crater in the driveway that likely caused a tire deflation. Not a great start.Inside, the “luxury” quickly fell apart. A dank, overpowering smell lingered despite the strongest air fresheners. The photos online were a complete illusion—cobwebs, cluttered cabinets, broken hangers, and an alarm without a battery. The floors were uneven, rails were poorly constructed, and there were cracks in the foundation. Rusted fixtures and no laundry products as promised completed the disappointment.The bedroom door knob, which seemed like it hadn’t seen an update in decades, fell off every time we shut the door. This left anyone inside trapped until someone passing by could let them out—hardly the kind of problem you expect from a “luxury” stay.When we called the owner, they seemed unfamiliar with our booking, hinting they manage “several properties.” The result was impersonal service that felt as sterile as an automated system.Lesson learned: not all ads are true, and not all hosts know what it means to truly host. This place is in dire need of an update—and luxury it is not.
