Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Surry County

We were on vacation and planned to go to Busch gardens and water country USA. The property was only about an hour away and we got to go on the ferry which the kids absolutely loved! That was a first time experience for many of us so that was a real treat. The property itself was just as pictured. It was nice and private and the kids enjoyed the swings and the giant checker table. The cabin had everything we needed during our stay and it was very homey. We be more than happy to stay here again or recommend it to anyone that would be visiting the area. Keisha was very responsive and checked in with us to make sure everything was going well.

The house was amazing with lots of room and a beautiful view of James River. We saw lots of wildlife like eagles, osprey, rabbits, lizards, deer etc. It is in a great location away from everything and a short drive to ride the ferry to Williamsburg, Jamestown, and Yorktown. We wanted to enjoyed all of the historical places since all of my kids love history. One day was supposed to be rainy so we stayed in the Surry area and visited Bacon’s Castle and Smith’s Fort. Both are very interesting places to visit and I highly recommend them. It was my husband and me with our 5 grown up children all ranging in ages of 18 to 31. All of us wanted to visit all the historical spots and even did a Civil War Ghost tour that my youngest son really enjoyed. Everything was great. Coming back to the house was so relaxing either by the tv or making s’mores by the fire pit. The beds are comfy and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. This is a perfect getaway and I hope to stay here more in the future.

Dan and Sam were very friendly, responsive hosts. The house and setting were beautiful and perfect for a family. The toys and books in the kids' room were a huge hit, and we all enjoyed the ample outdoor seating and very comfy beds. The ferry was super convenient and fun to watch, without actually hearing any traffic. And we saw so many osprey and bald eagles from the porch! I was charged with finding a rental for 6 adults and 3 kids, and each adult (and my kids) told me that this home was a gem! I'm so grateful to Dan and Sam for sharing their home with our family!

It was a beautiful place to get engaged and the history of the house was awesome and the view in the backyard was mystifying!

Our extended family of 14 had an amazing time exploring the battlefields of Petersburg, riding coasters at Busch Gardens and slipping down the water slides at Water Country USA! Amanda’s place was so inviting and beautiful! We enjoyed watching the squirrels and birds from the living room every morning. The beds were amazingly comfortable too 👏 Very accommodating!!

BY far the best Airbnb experience We've ever had. Very homey and comfortable. Lisa met us at the house and gave us the tour of the house. We forgot our fan and she went to her house to get one for us. Called to check in and see if we needed anything. We were 6 miles from Bush Gardens, 5 miles from the event center we needed to be at and about 10 miles from the Premium outlets. Very convenient to everything we needed, and wanted to get to. We would definitely rent this location again and highly recommend it to anyone. Lisa calls this the Holiday House and she means it. We were there at Easter and the whole house was decorated for Easter. She even left Easter candy for us and very lovely gift for our 5 year old Grandchild. The absolute perfect Hostess.

Our family had a wonderful time at Jeffrey’s place. The home is beautifully and thoughtfully decorated, and had everything we needed (including lots of kids books and toys). My children loved the private beach (it’s amazing) and exploring the property. We found fun shells, and even a few shark teeth. We daytripped to Jamestown and Williamsburg (10 min to the ferry, 20 min to get across) and had a wonderful time at both places. My kids had a blast riding the ferry (getting out and watching from the upper deck is a must). Definitely plan to get groceries ahead of time - it’s pretty remote, in a good way. Lots of fun wild life to spot - bald eagles, turkey, deer, even a skunk! Fun was had by all, we would stay again.

Really nice quiet place on the James River. Kitchen and living room/breakfast area served our family really well. The house is close to the Jamestown ferry which allowed us easy access to the historical sights of Jamestown, Williamsburg and Yorktown and some great restaurants in Williamsburg. A great place.

Kendall was a great host. She took care of what I needed and was friendly and responsive. The house and location were great! Very private and perfect if you have a dog. We were very pleased. Thanks Kendall!

If your looking for a place close to virginia beach to call “home base” this is the place! Easy to find and super clean, comfortable, and felt right at home

This was our second time staying here. We love the location and and Vonda is a great host. She is very responsive and gives excellent instructions. Her place is beautifully decorated and has everything you need for a relaxing vacation.

Leo’s Airbnb was GREAT. He was extremely responsive and helpful. Had great recommendations for places to grab a bite to eat. The Airbnb itself was great, quiet, and clean. I would definitely suggest booking with him!

I come home every year to visit with my family members. I will no longer be staying in those hotels on Mercury Blvd. Conveniently located. Everything you need for cooking in the cabinets. Coffee on deck. Beds were very comfortable. Laundry room was good. Air conditioning was on point. I love hot water awesome. See you in August.

"Absolutely incredible experience with Anne and Bill! Not only were the rooms spotless and ridiculously comfortable, but Anne went above and beyond with a FREE speedboat ride , kayaks and provided my boys with fishing hooks that made our stay truly unforgettable! Their kindness and hospitality made us feel right at home. Close proximity to Busch gardens which was our tour destination with great dining restaurants around .Highly recommend to anyone looking for a top-notch Airbnb experience!" Will definitely go back.

Its a nice cozy spot thats right by the water with plenty of restaurants to check out near by. A majority of them are walkable distances. There is also easy access to the highway if needed to travel further out. The area is very quiet with almost no noise. Surrounded by a community of families so you'll quickly feel right at home.

We felt very comfortable and safe at Raisa's place. The house was very clean and quiet, as was the neighborhood. We especially loved the four neighborhood cats that kept watch over everything. There is a nice walking path along the water. It's short but pretty and well-maintained. I don't recommend walking in the area over the water, however, since it was very unclean. The house was just as advertised, and it had everything in the kitchen and bathroom that we needed. We also found the bed very comfortable. We came for a concert at Virginia Beach, and this was a great, budget-friendly alternative to a hotel there. The Dome was a manageable driving distance, and we found plenty to do near Portsmouth. We highly recommend the Chrysler Museum in Norfolk and the Dismal Swamp State Park (just a half-hour drive in NC). Thanks to Raisa for being so responsive and friendly!

This condo is very basic and styled from when it was built. There is a great little coffee shop at the center of the resort that this condo is located in. A keurig is present in the unit but no coffee supplied so make sure to bring your own if you need a pick me up as soon as you wake up. I had the TV instruction sheet but could not get either to work so make sure to bring an iPad or some other device if you want to stream shows.

Very nice place peaceful. We enjoyed the balcony. The place was close to everything. We really enjoyed our stay wle will definitely be back. The steps where a little to much but great overall.

We were visiting on a family vacation and found this to be very accommodating in every way. It really worked for us and would stay again!

Igor’s place was excellent! The space was clean, in a fantastic location, and exactly as described in the listing. Everything went smoothly, and we had a wonderful stay. Highly recommend!

Lovely stay. Kingsmill setting is beautiful. So much to do in Williamsburg area. Dave’s place was so comfortable, clean, well appointed and convenient to all.

Kingsmill is a naturally beautiful planned community where you could have lots of adventure and sport out of your back door with options for dining and exploration or you could just enjoy the beautiful views of the James River and the sounds of nature around you. Highly recommend for either!

Jared was an excellent host. The unit was exactly as described and very easy to find. He responded to all inquiries very quickly. This might have been our best Airbnb experience so far.

Great location in a very nice resort. Everyone we met or interacted with was very friendly and helpful. Also was very close to local attractions in Williamsburg.
