House rentals with a pool

Pool Opens May 2nd at The Golden Hour
We really enjoyed staying at the golden hour! The hosts were very responsive and helpful! They had sound machines in every bedroom which if you have kids is a big deal. The toys and kids activities there were a big hit! The pools are pristine and the whole outdoor area is very nice! Very short walk to beach which was also convenient! They literally thought of everything, if you forgot something chances are they had it! Definitely recommend staying here if you have children and want a nice low key place to stay!

Wooded Wonderland Miniature Golf Hot tub Pool
We travelled with kids, the backyard was like a paradise for them. This house was convenient to activities and shopping around Norfolk and was an awesome place to return to at the end of a full day of exploring.

THE OLD BEACON 1 | Beach Living
Great place located walkable to the Boardwalk and the entire Beach. We loved have the grocery store a block away and walking everyday on the Boardwalk.

York River Vacation Home
Our family had a wonderful stay! Very beautiful location. The house was lovely inside and had plenty of space. We loved the windows in the sunroom looking out at the river. We spent a lot of time at the dock enjoying the river.

Country Comfort Close to the Beaches
A Very Pleasant Place to stay. Secluded with a Nice Pond and Saltwater Pool. Very Pleasant Hosts Mike and Courtney! Nice and clean Inside. Great communications with Alice Also! We hope to visit again! Highly Recommended! Great place to stay! We came to Visit Nas Oceana for Annual Airshow! Not far away! Hope to return Next year!

Gorgeous Vacation House
We were very pleased with the house. Just be careful w little ones, all vent covers were not secured to the floor properly and that could be safety hazard. One disappointment we had -although the beach was very close (5 minutes walk) there were runoff pipes all along the beach. Public beach a 5 minute drive. We ended up driving to Virginia Beach and had much better time there, 40 minute drive.

Stunning Views of Back Bay & Seconds to the Beach
What a beautiful and serene space for a women’s retreat! It is very obvious that the home is very well loved as well as very special. We all discussed coming back again because we enjoyed the space, the comfort and the scenery very much. We thoroughly enjoyed the great blue heron right outside the window each day as well as breathtaking sunsets. It was hard to get back to the grind after such a beautiful sanctuary weekend away.

Sandbridge- Great Escape Saltwater Pool &Boat Ramp
We enjoyed our stay at The Great Escape! Most of our time was spent in the private pool and fishing from the yard into the canal. The walk to the beach was quick and easy. We loved how quiet and safe the neighborhood was. The house had all the amenities we needed- it felt like a home away from home. Kim was a great host supplying us with lots of recommendations and was quick to resolve any problems. We hope to visit again in the future!

Water Oaks at Chic's Beach
I could not recommend this place and these hosts enough! The place was warm and welcoming and I absolutely love the location. A very peaceful neighborhood with easy bay access. The hosts were amazing and responsive. The house had some maintenance problems but at no fault of theirs…just typical house problems and they handled everything extremely well and we were not inconvenienced at all! Also our dog loved the place and they were stocked will all the dog necessities which was very helpful!

3 bedroom home minutes from Buckroe Beach
Had a great time staying at Lisa's home. The place was a very beautiful home and a peaceful neighborhood. Spacious living area as well as the bathrooms and rooms.

@Whit’s End? Come in and Relax
Travelling with our dog, the fenced yard and pet amenities were definitely appreciated! The space was clean and comfortable, and very much met all of our travel needs. Thanks!

Wil-O-Bay Getaway
Highly Recommend! My first time in Norfolk and I almost don’t want others to know about this place because it will be booked whenever I want to return. Peacefully neighbor and safe for women solo-traveler. The backyard is a dream and everything works great inside the home.

Family Retreat | Crib | Minutes to Beach & Town
Very communicative host! The house was in a great location and central to everything we had planned for the weekend. Would book her again.

Family Holiday House. Events and Beaches Nearby
This is a great house! It has everything that we needed. We are regular clients here now! I do recommend this beautiful house.

Relax! Refreshing 3 bedroom Rancher
Our stay was very nice. The home is in a quiet neighborhood and the house smelled amazing when we walked through the door. The keyless lock was very convenient, considering we arrived in the middle of the night. It had everything we needed for our stay. Thank you!

Walk to the Beach - Huge Yard! Space for 8!
Great place for Groups up to 8. we had 7 on our trip and felt perfect. The back yard is way bigger than the pictures make it look. kitchen was the perfect size for us and to cook big meals. House keeping could have done a little better job at cleaning those hard to reach areas in the bathrooms. It might need a little remodel in the next 5 years and be aware the backyard runs up to the interstate, but can't beat what you get for the price. and the traffic noise was not an issue at all and I would not be worried unless you want a view

Retreat away from Home
Sharmane house worked well for us! 5 adults and 5 kids was a bit of a tight fit, but with two adults taking a couch each, we made it work! The house is clean, everything works, and the price is right. Thanks Sharmane!

Spacious Family Getaway | 7BR | 3 masters | 5 Bath
Exactly as described in the listing. Three families stayed here comfortably, and Xiang was an excellent host! The kids (14, 14, 11, 7, & 5) had plenty of space to play, and the grow ups had plenty of space to relax. A great place to come back to after a day of sightseeing!

Spacious home close to Cape Charles
We needed a house at short notice as another one fell through. Sara was great. She replied straight away and was able to accommodate us straight away. Beautiful home, very well furnished. Large comfy beds. Thanks again.

At Oceanside on the gold coast in the North End!
The home was fantastic and Julie was extremely hospitable!

Quiet East Beach Bungalow, 1 block to beach!
A+++ From the front door to the sand is only a football field away! New and pristine house. Host is incredibly responsive. Peaceful and clean beach. Close to shopping and VA beach boardwalk is only 20 minutes. Highly recommended.

The Captains Cottage KAYAK/FISH on Elizabeth River
Janine was very responsive and accommodating. Would stay here again.
