Our 2024 Getaway
We were unable to rent the attached unit and decided to give the smaller room a try. It was all we needed and very cozy. We had a great time relaxing, shopping, walking, etc. and will be back again soon.

Location is good, emphasize hotel room over condo in the description. Property could be improved with some more noise insulation from the neighbors and an ice bucket. : )

Perfect getaway spot
Really great quaint hotel room with amenities. The room is overlooking the James River with beach access at the marina, which is just a few steps away. The resort is situated in a gated community with plenty of walking trails and nearby activities. Private small porch on back of building with chairs and table. Room has a beautiful walk in shower and a nice little area with a small fridge and a Keurig, there is unfortunately not kettle to boil water for tea, but we have an electric kettle at home that we brought with us, along with our personal toaster from home - so we could have English muffins when we first woke up in the morning. Room comes with towels, no hair dryer in room. There is a great big tv along with 2 very comfy beds and a small sitting area! I would definitely come back here in the future if I ever go back to the area. Lots of really amazing restaurants and sights to see nearby.

Beautiful location. Would recommend.
The location was wonderful. The unit was cute, clean and supplied with most that we needed. It would be great for a weekend stay but we were there for a week and having no "living room" to kick back and relax and watch tv at the end of the evening after a long day exploring was uncomfortable. We were aware in advance but we didnt think it would matter that much. The unit had everything we needed. Towels, comfortable bed, clean room. The only issue we had while there was one showerhead didn't work. Just the handheld one in the middle of the shower. I'm just glad we weren't taller lol. I would very much recommend this place. It was great overall. Setting on the porch and drinking coffee watching the river was our favorite place while at the unit.

Perfect gated and central Williamsburg spot
You couldn’t ask for a better base for Busch Gardens and points further afield like Water Country, Colonial Williamsburg, Jamestown, and Yorktown. Is this place perfect? No, you could hear the neighbors upstairs walking around and the AC is loud (but works GREAT). But, I’m giving it 5 stars because it’s a great value for the money with comfy beds and a clean interior. My son and I had an awesome time!

Very much like a hotel room. The shower head was broken, and although dishes, cups and silverware were provided, the only place to wash them was the bathroom sink, which made us a little uncomfortable. The only map provided of the complex was not readable. We had to find one online.

Was able to use the amenities on the resort, as all the workers were so nice. Room was very nice but the overhead shower didn’t work. Luckily had an extra shower head we could use. My best friend and I decided to make this a yearly trip the first week of June so be ready for next summer!

The unit was very nice and perfect for what we needed. Cute community with scenic grounds and plenty of food options nearby. Check in was easy and check out time was generous. It was a perfect centrally located spot for us to do some regional college visits! Would definitely stay here again when we come back for Busch Gardens.

Soaking in some history.
While staying in Williamsburg we visited Jamestown & Historical Williamsburg. It was a very easy deive to both places. The host left a binder with local restaurant suggestions. We went to Maurizio's Italian restaurant. It was delicious!

We really enjoyed our stay. The landscaping at Kingsmill is beautiful. Loved the patio and the view of the James River, and the short walk to the Mill for coffee in the morning. The room was very clean, quiet and comfortable. We look forward to our next visit.

Historic Triangle
The condo was perfectly located between the historic sites. Kingsmill is a beautiful community and this condo had views of the James River off their deck. A perfect place to rest after a long day at the historic sites. The beds were comfortable, the room was spacious, and the bathroom with an oversized shower was updated. Also restaurants and shops are close by. We had breakfast at The Mill and dinner at the marina, both located within a short walk of the condo. Such a perfect spot! Cathy

The only small issue is checking in for a gate pass- we were told at gate to go the main clubhouse for car hanger- the gentleman at the desk was kinda of short and wasn’t very willing to give us a car pass but I showed him our reservation and gave him your alls cell numbers so he could contact you- not sure if he did but no other issues! I appreciate the quick response to all questions/texts -

Perfect Girls Weekend
This property and condo are a perfect setting for a low key getaway weekend. Everything we needed was within a 15 minute drive, the unit was very inviting and provided a relaxing setting, and the entire property is quiet and secure. The patio offered a relaxing setting to sit and chat, the living space was perfect for quick dinners and drinks, and the shower had amazing water quality! I have never experienced an easier process of checking into a property. The owners communicate before your arrival, gave perfect instructions, and provided plenty of information for our stay. I highly recommend this unit!
