River Haven is a 3.4 acre waterfront wooded estate in the resort city of Virginia Beach. This property is perfect for family vacations. The recreational activities on site include fishing, crabbing, swimming, kayaking, sunbathing and grilling out. You can do it all without ever having to get back in the car. If you wish to sample the beaches around the area, you only have an easy freeway driving of 20 minutes. When you are done with the crowds, you can come back to your very own oasis.
The pool is now heated for your comfort. You will no longer feel that chill when getting in the water.
The boat dock has ample space for lounging as a second focal point of your enjoyment. You can see beautiful sunrises and sunsets from the dock. Crab traps are provided so you can catch fresh crabs for that real Chesapeake Bay experience. Previous guests also had fun catching fish from the boat dock.
The house is a modern home with all the amenities that you would expect and more. There are 4 bedrooms with comfortable bedding for 8 people. But there is enough room for 10 if need be.
The kitchen has just been upgraded with high end appliances including a double wall oven, induction cook top, under the counter ice maker, extra large refrigerator and freezer. An outdoor grill is available of course.
There is a home gym with elliptical machine, tread mill, weights and a weight bench.
There is a full bath with shower downstairs next to the gym. Master suite has a king bed. A deck over looking the water is attached to the masters suite. A 3rd shared full bath with tub and shower is located in the upstairs hallway. The second bedroom has a queen bed. The third bedroom has a queen bed. The fourth bedroom has 2 double beds. All bedrooms has a TV with movie channels. Internet TV is available via Apple TV. You may sign in to your own Netflix or Apple account to watch movies and shows.
The house is booked solidly during the summer by the week. Preferred check in day is Saturday although Sunday to Sunday is possible. Please note that the property is located in a upscale quiet neighborhood. The property is not a good location for events such as weddings or receptions. Holding of such events constitutes a violation of the rental contract.
This partner has demonstrated and is committed to fast response times, the best rates, and a great guest experience.

Michael Ho purchased this house in 2004
This is the best property around for a secluded relaxing summer vacation. Ample activities are available and you do not have to leave the property to have fun. It is also very close to all area beaches. The house is great for families with children.
For those who like sea food, fresh blue crabs can be caught from the dock during the summer. You can also fish right off the dock. For the serious fisherman, some of the best fishing on the East Coast is available locally.
Pool is heated so that even adults will want to get in not just kids.
The property was beautiful, a meandering path to the dock. The space in the house was good with a big kitchen and living space. Nice pool. Unfortunately, we were unable to use the boat lift or dock due to electrical problems (no adjustment was offered or made). Also, after a storm passed through, the pool needed attention (in addition to the hour that we provided). Michael came over after work, but there was no one there before 5, which in our opinion was unacceptable. For a weekly rental, there should have been staff available to focus on the needs of the property during the day in my opinion. If it were a monthly or yearly rental, the response was perfect. Additionally, the overall cleanliness of the property was not that great. The previous renters must have had a dog because the place was covered in fur. There was also evidence of past insect problems that the cleaners did not address (dead roach in the kitchen drawers) and was totally unacceptable. There was an AC glitch as well. To cool the living space was not an issue, but 2 of the 3 bedrooms would not cool down, I don't know about you, but I'd rather have a cool bedroom and warmer living space than what we had.
If we didn't rely on the reviews so much in making our vacation choices, I would not write any of this because I don't like to respond negatively, but reasonable expectations were not met while the high rental price was.
On a positive note, Michael was easy to reach and responded either via text or calls.
Our stay was great! The kids had so much fun. Would definitely recommend to other.
Only complaints were the neighbors to the right of the house, they created alot of constant, loud, and annoying noise. It would have also been nice if the jacuzzi was up and running.
But really besides those 2 things the place was great!
Everything was fantastic. Plenty of room for everyone and all their things. This house is not only amazing, Michael has stocked it with everything you could possibly ever need. My only complaint is that the pool is so warm on those very hot, humid days it isn't that refreshing plunge you are hoping for. Thank you Michael. We had a wonderful time in your lovely home.
A great house. Lots of room. The pool was amazing as was the dock. It would be nice if you could see the water from the house. The guys enjoyed fishing and the kids loved the pool. If you travel with kids you should bring you're own kids kitchenware as everything is glass. Also there is a step down from the dining room to the lIvins room that is tile, be mindful of this as one of our little ones hit his head wit in the first hour. Overall the house is great and I would definitely go again!
We loved the property! The boat dock, pool, kitchen, office and just the overall space is wonderful! The home is tucked away but within 10-15 mins of many shops. If we need to visit Virginia Beach again we will be sure to book this home!
This was a perfect place for us, it was very nice and had everything it said. Private but close to everything. We can't wait to go back.
