Shep's blocks in Virginia Beach

Upscale beach rental available in prestigious Croatan in Virginia Beach. Gorgeous views of the Atlantic Ocean! Wet bar on 4th floor deck. Five bedrooms, three and 1/2 baths. Large, fully equipped kitchen. Open living area on 3rd floor, with views of the ocean from all windows. Lots of work spaces with WiFi to work while you enjoy the view and smell the fresh, sea air. Two outside showers (one enclosed) to rinse off after the sand and salt water. Just steps to the beach, this beauty is close enough to smell the sea breeze and hear the waves lapping at the shore. Close to Rudee Inlet for boating, water sports, and fishing.
We are constantly updating and refreshing the property, providing new/additional furniture and amenities that visitors have suggested, to enhance the experience of our guests. Guests have said this is the most beautiful home they have ever stayed in! We hope you will enjoy it, as well. Make it your next staycation spot!

Amazing!

We rented the Shep's Quarters during our son wedding. The house was clean and hassel free, which was a welcomed change of pace. The owner called and checked in with us and was attentive to our needs. We will be back to do this again. We really appreciated and enjoyed our stay.

Nice home and location

The house pretty much looks exactly like it does in the photos. It took us a while to get used to the "upside down" layout with the main area on the 3rd floor, but the home layout was perfect for our group of 10. We loved sitting up on the roof in the late afternoon and evenings. One block off the beach which was perfect for us - no driving and finding a parking space. The property owner/manager was very responsive leading up to our stay and during when we had questions. Highly recommend.

Shep's Quarters 1 - Beautiful Rental Home

We've stayed in quite a few rental homes through VRBO and this is one of the nicest we've had the pleasure of visiting. Carol was very responsive to questions and quick to communicate. The upper deck was great on sunny mornings with a view of the ocean. Mind you this property is not on the beach but just a short walk away. With 3 indoor floors and the upper deck to spend time on it was possible to have a group of friends together without being on top of one another. We highly recommend Shep's Quarters 1 for your stay.

Great house, great hosts

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will hopefully be able to come back again! The owners clearly communicated checkin/etc, and were able to provide a high chair to accommodate our 18mo old. Croatan is a lovely neighborhood, and we hope to be able to visit again soon. House was very comfortable. Everything was supplied as indicated. We made ample use of the decks to get some sun and enjoy celebrating with our family. Cheers!

Extended Family Getaway

This house was large enough for our group and still felt like home!! The rooms were spacious and the multiple terraces provided nice views of the surrounding area, especially from the roof deck. Our days were spent on the beach, one block away, and our evenings on the Boardwalk, just a five minute drive. Will definitely look to return in the future!!

Trident Spectre 2021

The house was great and enjoyed immensely. There was an issue with the stove on the 3rd floor. The gas line has a leak. If the gas was not turned off after each use it leaked in to the house. It was realized when they came home one afternoon to it smelling of gas in the house. They turned it off immediately and opened all the windows. From that point on they just turned it off after each use. Other than that the stay was great.

Great Place and Person

Our group had a reservation in 2020 that was interrupted by COVID. We all are very appreciative of the ethical nature of Carol, who extended our reservation to this spring, and honored the initial pricing we had. While our stay at the property was enjoyable, we want other prospective vacationers to know that Carol is a very responsive, and honorable person. Thanks again Carol!

Lovely home

We loved our week at Shep's Quarters! There were seven of us, and we had plenty of space to spread out. The master suite was as nice as a suite at a luxury hotel. We had everything we needed for fun: beach chairs, umbrellas, bikes with helmets, games, puzzles, Roku TVs, and a dream kitchen. If we could change one thing, it would be to boost the WiFi. We had three people working from home for part of the week, and the signal did not extend to the first floor bedrooms where two of them had planned to work. We shifted ourselves around to make it work, but thought that might be helpful to know. And Carol is a great host, answering all of my pre-vacation planning inquiries immediately!
