The property is perfect for a small family in a quiet neighborhood. The property is described as a 2 bed 2 bath home. The description would be more helpful if it said one bedroom, bath, kitchen, kiving room and outdoor living space was all upstairs with one bath and laundry down. My sister and I sometimes travel with our. 88 year old mother and she would not have been able to navigate tjhis property at all. it also wouldnât hurt to say that this property was not handicap accessible, nor would it of been toddler friendly with direct access to the stairs or just getting a baby up and down multiple times a day. Over all a great property for the right group, close enough to the historic triangle.
Great property for our family reunion visit to Urbanna! Owner was communicative and gave great directions (trash is now Tuesday and Friday though, not Monday, and no town recycling). Nice, quiet street with water views and easy access to downtown Urbanna and the town pool. The second bedroom is down the stairs and off the garage, it does have a connected bathroom but fyi for families coming with smaller children. Unit was clean, organized, and had the main essentials. The pullout sofa is right next to the main bedroom upstairs. Great deck views, nice small yard to be out in, and easy access to Jamestown and Yorktown. Check out Something Different for dinner, Urbanna Pearl for oysters like youâve never had, Wooden Pickle for breakfast, and visit the town museum to see the Mitchell Map, one of the earliest maps of the eastern US! Great visit, will be back again!
It was just as advertised. Thanks for recommending Something Different and the Merroir restaurants. We missed them other visits. Also enjoyed The Wooden Pickle and Small Town Burger. Thanks for arranging for pool pass. It was definitely hot enough. We couldn't figure out how to use our Netflix. No matter. It was a mostly unplugged weekend and the leisurely pace was most welcome.Thanks for hosting us!
Property filthy. I did NOT STAY. Mildew on shower curtains. Filthy oven. Countertops crumbs under toaster.Keurig held old water. Mildew on ALL A/C vents. Stains on carpet. Dirt on upstairs bed frame. Sent photos to owner. Only gave partial refund. SHAMEFUL! NOTHING LIKE VIMEO VIDEO.
Three women stayed at Blue Tango for the weekend. A trip planned around paddling Dragon Run. The water levels were too high so the trip was cancelled. We thoroughly enjoyed urbanna and this was a great location. A few things we found disappointing about the house. One was the description said there was a hot tub and there was not. The description also said there was a water view and yes, you could see the water, but it was at an angle through someone elseâs yard towards the river. Lastly, the bedroom on the bottom floor is separated from the upstairs living area and you have to walk through the garage to get there. It was OK for my friend, but I think if you had kids and were thinking they would stay down there you might be not as comfortable. Plus, it seemed to be a little bit more humid down there. Also, there was supposed to be instructions in the house for the air conditioner and other things and there were none. I would stay there again, but it would have been nice to know these things ahead of time. The picture of the water is from the tiny waterfront park only a short walk down the street.
We took a quick weekend getaway to visit my grandmother in the next town over. It was clean and perfect for my small family (2 year old). Manager had great communication leading up to the trip. Overall a great experience.
I had multiple communications that I concluded were a Chat-BOT rather than the actual property owner or manager. We tried many times to confer with the owner that there was no means of locking the door to secure this unit, as the keypad did not have an exterior locking function, and the only other door to the house was a deadbolt with no key, meaning there was no way to lock the door from the inside and exit the property. I received only repeat messages that didnât address the issue. The location was good and the space would be ok for a small group. We had three kids and it was not enough room to spread out without being in everyone elseâs space.The second bedroom was off the garage downstairs.
We came to town to visit with friends and enjoy the parade events. The house was perfect for our needs and very well stocked with anything we needed.
It was a cold weekend and it would have been very nice to use the gas fireplace in the living room (but it is only for decoration). The house does have a regular coffee maker and a Keurig, which isn't in the listing but nice to have. The only negatives were stains on the towels and the Only Entry door was very difficult to lock (we struggled with this each time we left the home).
,everything was good except the steps were were
Hard on us as we were 83 yrs old.
Also it may help to put things in the bathroom to help getting in and out.
This was an amazingly quiet treat for myself. I had views of the river, a quaint walk into the most friendly town with great food choices. Iâll return for sure!
My kids and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Blue Tango over Columbus Day weekend. With Kings Dominion and Busch Gardens as our ultimate destinations, this was a perfect midway point to make for a short drive to each park. Although we didn't spend much time in and right around Urbanna, the town was very quaint with beautiful views of the river. Look forward to coming back again soon.
Lovely little cottage right across from the Rappahannock River. Very quaint area, people there very friendly. Ate at Urbanna Seafood & Market while there. Beautiful setting on the water, and good food!! Highly recommend the Blue Tango!
Placement of the bed in the ground floor bedroom is interesting and difficult to get to the closet other than that a pretty little place. We did enjoy our stay and thank you.
This is a perfect place to stay to relax and enjoy great small town feel and good choice of restaurants close by. Will definitely make this a return visit in the future.

I have written the book 'Pisikoa' about my Peace Corps experience in the South Pacific, which is available on Amazon and on Kindle. If you like it, thanks & spread the word!
Great place to calmly unwind. Close friends also have a home in Urbanna. Great access to many other travel locations, like DC, Richmond, Wiliamsburg/Yorktown/Jamestown & Va Beach
