We really enjoyed our stay at the Sweet Family Retreat! It was a short stay, but we would love to come back. It’s cozy and homey, the neighborhood was great, we felt very safe. Easy parking in the back of the house, as well as street parking. The beds were comfy and the house was clean. We hope we will be able to stay here again.

I really hate to leave this review because I had good communication with the host during our stay and my kids described the house as "cozy". However, when I woke up the morning of our last day there was a roach on the stove. I then tried to make coffee and saw and killed another. Before we left I killed a total of 4. I just think the house needs to be cleaned more thoroughly to ensure no one else has this issue.

Great place, poor parking and communication.

We had a good stay with a group of friends, and the house was clean and as described. Unfortunately, we were there for one night for a friend’s party who lives in town, and our entire stay was flavored by the parking situation and communication of that by the owner. This property has both a house and a second building for rent, and apparently only one parking space is allowed per unit. That wasn’t in the listing, nor the check-in rules, Mr the marked parking spaces behind the house, and it was very disappointing while we were on our way to our friends house for the event we came into town for to get a call, asking us when we would be moving our vehicle. We pointed out the issue, which the owner claimed to be a technical issue with the listing, but again it was in their written check-in instructions as well. I assume they will get this corrected, and it will be clear to future people, and really there was plenty of parking on the street and it should be a non-issue. It was just a bit disconcerting to have to sort this out while we were trying to enjoy what we came into town town to do.

A nice home in a nice convenient area

My family traveled to Richmond to surprise my daughter for her 21st birthday. We brought our dog with us. The house is great for pets as it’s fenced in the front and back. The house is older but it’s clean and well put together. We did have an issue with little ants crawling throughout the place but the owners were super responsive and sprayed the house. The parking is in the alley out back or on the street out front. There’s a second rental which I imagine may have been a garage in the backyard, which wasn’t a problem for us but if you’re looking to have late night outdoors gatherings the campfire pit is right outside the other rental. So keep the noise to a minimum after hours. The other rental was occupied the whole time we were in the house. This is a great place for families traveling to Richmond with pets. The entrances are not handicapped friendly if you’re not able to go up stairs without a ramp. I have an ambulatory 14 yr old with cerebral palsy, he was able to do the stairs in both the front and the back with minimal assistance. One of the showers has handicapped bars for getting in and out, the other shower is very high up and was not accessible at all for my son. The area is convenient to a lot of places and walkable too.

Best short term rental in RVA for us

For our week long stay, this house proved to be outstanding. Fantastic location; very safe and walkable. House was clean. Beds and sofa were comfortable. Property manager was exceptionally responsive. Single story was a huge plus for us. Hope to stay there again in May.

Bridal Shower

We came to Richmond for my soon to be DIL bridal shower. Parking was easy, the house was great and it was close to the shower venue. It gave my family time to reconnect and celebrate the bride to be. Thanks so much!
