Graduation Trip
We were very satisfied with our stay at the Sonshine House. We stayed here so that we could attend our nephew's graduation. We enjoyed the walk to the restaurants Indulge and Saffron. The history of the area and the convenience of where we had to go was appealing to us. We would stay there again.

Nice little property in cute area
Hilton Village is one of those places you just have to experience and staying here is a great way to do that. For a small property, it was surprisingly roomy. Hope to come back!

Feels like Home!
Very comfortable stay; we needed an overnight accomodation on a return to the northeast from the far southeast- The house and neighborhood feel like home- very safe- very comfortable. You will have everything you need and if you should need a little more- literally around the corner and a block away are restaurants and shops that will provide! Within driving distance are many local gems- depending on your patate. We always 'Waze' and Google about an hour out, order take away, and enjoy in our VRBO. Walks near the water are near, and even a stroll through the surrounding neighborhood is relaxing. Beds are comfortable, the air conditioning system is easy; simply twist to the right and then to the desired setting to the left and two minutes later cool air will fill the room! As described in the listing, but with an added touch of a good 'feel' when you're actually settled in the house. We would stay again if we were in the area, and would refer this house to anyone in the area. There is plenty of parking off street- we were able to park directly in front of the house with spaces available a few spaces 'down'. An overall A+!

Great little house for a visit to Newport News
Lovely little house in the historic Hilton Village. We enjoyed the surrounding neighborhood and were able to take our grandsons down to the local pier and playground. It was a perfect place for our weekend visit. The only drawback is that “historic” is not necessarily a good fit for anyone with a handicap (narrow stairs and a bathtub shower that is sloped on the bottom).

Quick get away to Virginia
Took my family to Virginia for a quick get away to see Williamsburg and wanted a quaint place to stay! This was a perfect location and we enjoyed our stay. Would love to come back and stay longer and see more around Newport News, Norfolk and Williamsburg!

During our stay, several things occurred which were beyond anyone’s control. The host was very gracious in helping us through it all and we really appreciated all she did to make it work.
