Beautifully Updated and 2 Blocks from the Beach!
The owners thought of everything! The house is very clean, updated throughout and decorated nicely with the beach theme. All of the drawers and cabinets are labeled with contents. There are a ton of games and books that renters can enjoy should the weather not be beachy. And if it is beachy weather, it's a quick 2 block walk to the adorable Buckroe Beach that was not in the least bit crowded for our stay in October (and we had beautiful sunny 75 degree weather). The owner was very quick to respond to any communication throughout the rental process and stay. I spend a lot of time reading reviews prior to selecting a rental and was very pleased to see that this adorable house exceeded expectations. Plenty of bath towels and beach towels are provided as well as hand soap, dish soap, and shampoo/conditioner. And I also loved the built in nightlight that was in the bunkbed room. Truly a wonderful beach weekend in a very clean and nicely updated home.

A GEM in Hampton, VA!
The Gray Pelican was the perfect VRBO for our family during our recent visit to Hampton, VA. Logistically, everything was clear and smooth. Then upon arriving, my family immediately fell in love with this beautiful home. The owners, Amy and Chris, take it seriously that they want their guests to have the best experience possible. First of all, they are wonderful individuals who communicate with kindness (they are also very quick to respond). They have been extremely thoughtful about the amenities of the Gray Pelican, and we felt right at home with everything we could possibly need, including many complimentary goodies. The house is incredibly clean and tastefully decorated. It is also in an excellent location, including being literally 1.5 blocks away from Buckroe Beach, which was also a treat! Thank you, Amy and Chris, for going above and beyond to ensure our comfort and happiness. We would recommend The Gray Pelican in a heartbeat!

Cozy and Fab
We wanted to stay near the beach while we were in town house hunting and this place was amazing!!!! The house is beautiful and the owners thought of every need a vacationer might have. There were just two of us but I couldn’t easily see sharing this property with another couple or bringing small children.

An oasis near the beach!
This place is spectacular. The hosts thought of everything! There were six of us, but the place is so thoughtfully organized that it felt spacious and peaceful. We cooked, we grilled, we fished, we beached, and we had whatever we needed at our fingertips. Throughout the house, you'll find relaxing beachy decor and beautiful little touches, like lighted closets, games for kids, wireless chargers, a variety of utensils and servingware, appliances. TVs in every room! We are a low screen-time family, but after an exhausting day of activities, it's great that everyone can retreat to different rooms for a little down time without fighting over the remote :) The best vacation rental we've ever stayed in -- no contest!

Swim Meet in Hampton
We traveled to Hampton for a swim meet and opted to rent this house instead of staying in a hotel just so we had more space. We are so glad we did! The house is spotless, incredibly organized, and had everything we needed for our stay. We especially loved all the labeled cabinets! The beds were comfortable. Clearly, this house is a labor of love and the owners were very thoughtful in every detail. Thanks for making traveling with kids a little bit easier!

Great property, great host!
Absolutely LOVED our trip! The house was exactly what's listed, if not better. Amy was so communicative and responsive before, during and after our trip which made it even better. The thoughtful touches that were included when we first walked in were so sweet, and the house had the perfect mix for kids and adults to be happy and comfortable. It's a quick walk to the boardwalk and beach which was amazing with the kids, and the beach was calm and clean with a fun playground too. We would love to visit Buckroe again and definitely will be rebooking! The kids even said they didn't want to go home because they loved the house so much! Thanks again Amy!

Perfect home to stay In
This was our first time renting a home and & I was very impressed. Our experience while staying there was perfect, they provided everything we could have possibly needed and made us feel like it was our home. The location was perfect, a short little walk to the beach, ice cream shop at the end of the street, & the neighborhood was quiet and friendly. We made so many memories and we ended up staying another night. The home was decorated so beautiful and my granddaughter who is 6 loves all of the extra amenities they provided. Thank you for a great vacation!

Absolutely Amazing!!!!
My family traveled to Hampton for my daughter’s graduation, which happened to be on Mother’s Day. We had an amazing weekend. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and the property. Amy was the best communicator and host. The listing on the website is TOTALLY ACCURATE. What you see is was you get and then some. This lovely cottage has everything you need and is full of surprises. The short walk to the beach and the farmers market was an added treat. This is definitely a place that I would recommend staying. I don’t recall when I felt this relaxed. It was a feeling that took hold of you from the moment you pulled into the driveway. The backyard is relaxing spot as well. Amy and her husband considered everything when they put their heart into making this home truly a home away from home for guests. You can tell so much about them by how well kept and up-to-date their home is and all of the wonderful amenities. I would definitely stay here again and again when I’m in Hampton. Thank you Amy, for the best weekend stay ever!!!!!

This place is perfect! It’s a super short walk to the beach, a well appointed and tastefully decorated bungalow, and close to Hampton, Williamsburg, Norfolk, VA Beach and all the area activities. The hosts are super easy to communicate with and have really tried to think of everything to make you feel like you’re at home away from home! We definitely will be staying at The Gray Pelican again!

very cozy, definitely coming back!
Was in Hampton visiting friends and family, and found this new listing 5 minute walk from Buckroe Beach!! I was traveling alone this trip, but this is definitely a place I will return to with my family. It was very clean, nicely equipped, and has lots to keep the kids occupied! The owners were very accommodating and easy to communicate with. I actually needed nothing from them. Loved the beach theme too!! The bed I used was great, did not lose any sleep at all. If you need a place in Hampton, check out the Gray Pelican!!
