The Canary Island … Keep Calm and Fish On

Best vrbo and Best Host award!

Great house!

We had an incredible experience at this VRBO property! The location was fantastic and offered a spectacular, peaceful view that made our stay truly relaxing. The house itself was immaculate, and the hosts went above and beyond to think of every possible detail. Everything was clearly labeled, and there were helpful notes throughout to make finding things effortless.We especially appreciated the thoughtful touches like restaurant recommendations complete with menus—such a nice bonus! Nothing was lacking, from the high-quality bedding and towels to the well-stocked kitchen and amenities. Communication and check-in were seamless, making the entire process stress-free.This was truly a next-level experience, and we can’t recommend this property highly enough. We will absolutely be back!

Great place

Tranquil and peaceful property in the heart of the salt ponds area. Extremely accurate depiction of property wish we had had a week to spend here. Extremely clean and very well appointed. This was one of the best stocked and supplied VRBO properties that we have ever stayed in. The owners were extremely communicative. We will definitely be back if we ever need another property in this area.

This is our second year staying at Canary Island and loved being able to create new memories. This has become one of our favorite spots towards the end of the summer before the back to school madness!Kim and Pete are great…always responsive and takes the thinking out of planning what to take because their lovely home is full stocked with everything you need. We highly recommend staying here just not the 3rd week in August BTW Kim & Pete, loved the two window cushions for privacy and block the morning light in the primary bedroom!!!

Amazing hosts!The house was extremely organized, and the location and views from the home were stunning.We felt as if we were at our own home.Pete and Kim were gracious presenting us with a welcome basket filled with treats, and flowers.We needed a bit more time for departure, my son slipped outside of a restaurant and broke his foot, and they were very accommodating with the checkout time.Thank you for a great time, and for sharing your home with us!

Awesome property and welcoming hosts. Everything was as described in the listing and the hosts had the house completely prepared, from labeling everything, a welcome basket with snacks and wine, a stocked drinks fridge with water bottles.Awesome stay. Would recommend it

We had a wonderful time. The house was perfect for family. Watching the water and boats from the deck made the vacation perfect.

Wonderful property

Great property and great attention to detail to make the stay comfortable

This is a beautiful house with spectacular views. The host left a wonderful welcome basket full of goodies which was very thoughtful! I would have given this a five star review but we had to leave early due to a burst water pipe which I know the host had no control over. We will consider coming to this property again!

Fabulous VRBO. It was our 41st anniversary and the owners really made us feel special. We loved the house, the location, the view of the water/marina/sailboats. The house decor was lovely. Every room was great. The Owners left us wine and delicious snacks plus eggs/bagels/bacon for breakfast. It was the most welcoming VRBO at which we ever stayed. The Owners communicated with us to be sure we had everything we needed. We ate at the Restaurants they recommended at Fort Monroe and downtown raw bar. Both were excellent. We visited Norfolk, Jamestown, Williamsburg and Yorktown. Great history. We would definitely return to this wonderful VRBO!

This VRBO was an absolute gem! The location was ideal, great water views and easy access to everything thing we wanted to do. The property itself was beautifully maintained and everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The kitchen was well-equipped, good quality linens were provided and all things needed for a good time from the kayaks, paddle boards, pool table, books and games! You literally only need to bring your clothes and food. The hosts were incredibly helpful and responsive. They went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed plus a few thoughtful surprises. Thanks again for that!! We would definitely stay here again but Longer and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fantastic waterfront vacation rental.

This is by far the most well stocked rental we have ever had the pleasure to stay at. After a long day of travel, it was so nice to be welcomed by a lovely gift basket and every amenity we could possibly need. The kitchen has EVERYTHING from a blender and an instant pot to all of the pots/pans, spices, and cutlery you could ever need. And every cabinet is labeled as such for easy location! There are even kayaks and paddle boards available for use however, after seeing the strength of the current and being very self-aware of our physical abilities (or lack there of), we chose not to partake at risk of never being able to make it back... But we saw many others out enjoying the water on their paddle boards. Our kids (8 and 12) enjoyed reading some of the books and playing the games and we were able to teach them how to play pool albeit none of us should be considered professional by any means... But everyone's favorite activity was going 2 miles away to Buckroe Beach. The beach has ample free parking available, and it wasn't overcrowded at all. Pete and Kim have beach chairs and even an umbrella that can be used which was such a lifesaver since I am a fair skinned redhead who gets burned very easily. In summary, I couldn't recommend this place enough. Pete and Kim were great communicators who checked in with us often and answered any questions that I had. We will most definitely be back!
