Great Views with Odd Setup
The views from the porches and access to beach were great! However, the set up of the house was very odd and difficult for my older mother, The master bath is on the first floor with no bedroom. While the listing says the bedrooms are upstairs it’s not super clear that the master bath is downstairs alone. The upstairs bath with the shower is a shower in a claw foot tub so way too hard for an older person. You also have to go through the master bath to get to the outside porch from the back of the house or you have to go up to the front doors otherwise. The master bathroom also smells like someone did some heavy smoking in the past just in that room? Overall the house was clean but just difficult to navigate.

Relaxing perfection with access to so much fun!
We were blessed to stay for a week and that still didn’t feel like long enough! The views. Let me just start with that. I woke up every morning to the sunrise over the water. The decks are wonderful. Being able to see the view from even the main floor and deck is a plus! The home had all of our needs, and the grocery store a few blocks away had the rest. Beyond our needs, we had extras at our disposal, like beach towels, beach chairs, a sun canopy, paddle boards, boogie boards, single kayaks and a double kayak!!!!! Also, any question or issue we had was immediately addressed by the owner! Communication was excellent.

Perfect Ocean View Waterfront Home
My family had a wonderful stay at Jeanie's waterfront home. The house was really lovely, very comfortable and spacious, and was well stocked for all of our needs. The beach was perfect and we loved how close it was to the fishing pier which we ended up walking to along the beach daily! I would definitely stay here again!

Beach getaway
The house is very large. Nicely furnished and decorated. We had thanksgiving diner there with 7 gilts and 4 children and the dining room was more than adequate. Nicely appointed kitchen where we prepared the meal. The beach is a very short walk. We would definitely like to come back again maybe in the warmer months. The owners always responded to emails or Vrbo messages promptly

Early thanksgivings
It was a good stay. The weather turned windy and cold but we manage to go sightseeing. We did get to the beach for our grandson to play in the sand. My biggest complain is the small rugs on the stairs were not attached real good which was a tripping hazard. The master bed was so high and solf that i had at hard time getting in it and im 5 ft 7.5 inches tall. The bed was really to solf for me.

Ocean View 2023
This property is beautifully located on the bay with easy access to the beach. We enjoyed watching dolphins, paddle boarding, fishing, swimming, sunbathing and playing games on the beach. The house has a very well equipped kitchen, flat screen TVs in every bedroom, decks with tables and chairs at three locations as well as a nice gas grill. The property owners also have a well equipped gear room providing guests with everything from chairs to fishing nets, a canopy, sand castle tools and a wagon to transport everything to the beach. Convenience stores and the Ocean View Pier are within walking distance. We watched Naval and cargo ships move in and out of the bay daily. Everyone enjoyed our time there and hope to return again in the future.

The only complaint was the cleanliness of the house. Had a small problem and the response was right away and Kim was at the house within a few hours. Already recommending the place to other people.

Beatiful home, great location,
We stayed 7 nights end of July 2023, this is our 5th year coming to Norfolk VA, and this has been the best overall rental we rented. The beach was mostly private, the house was plenty roomy for all of us. Huge deck, outside shower to clean off after the beach, AC works great, beds were super compfy, and had everyhting and then some for our stay. We also loved being so close to the fishing pier, the kids loved fishing. Thank you so much for helping us make the most out of our stay.

Perfect for families!
We had a wonderful week at this lovely property! Our family of 6 was comfortable in the beach house, and my father enjoyed his own space in the cottage. The view was just amazing, and we usually had the beach to ourselves. The house was stocked with everything we needed...even birthday candles! We took advantage of the kayaks and paddle boards, and appreciated all the other beach supplies made available to us. There is so much to do in the area...and this really is a convenient spot. We went to Virginia Beach on several occasions, downtown Norfolk, and Williamsburg...all relatively short drives away. I would highly recommend this truly great rental!

Definitely on the beach!
This house was very nice with a great proximity to the beach and great views from the bedrooms and deck. The decorating details and arrangement of everything show how much the owners care for the house and want to keep it nice. The house is from the 30s so expect squeaky floorboards and other noises that come along with an older home, but it was beautifully updated and clean. The only demerit I could give is that the upstairs outlets are still original, which means that not only was there only one or two per room and none in the bathroom, but the ones there are loose and worn and my modern day charging cord for my phone had trouble staying in the wall. If you're looking to plug in, take your stuff downstairs! The beach itself was truly in the back yard. It was clean and private, which is exactly what I booked the house for. I'd rather drive to "stuff" than have a sea of people in front of me blocking my view. If you want a clean/cute house with little to no effort to get to the beach, I'd recommend this place.

A trifecta! And notes about accessibility…
This sweet beach house had the 3 features my family was looking for in a holiday gathering place – near our Navy son, on the water, and handicap accessible. Both the beach house and the cottage were clean and comfortable, with all the little touches of convenience for a relaxing week. The living and dining rooms were open and ample, and the kitchen was well stocked and easily accommodated our Thanksgiving meal prep. The hosts were wonderful about communicating with us ahead of our stay, and even helped avert a last-minute mini-crisis in our plans – truly outstanding service! “Accessible” can mean different things to different people; our situation is a paraplegic family member in an electric wheelchair. My comments here are meant simply as information that may help others. Overall, the beach house was a good experience for us. We could easily navigate the open first floor and deck, which means our time together was really together. The lower bathroom had extra clearance around the toilet and the shower was set up well, although we were glad we brought our own shower chair; the room is wide enough for a powered wheelchair but too narrow to turn, which made transfer tricky. There is not a private bedroom downstairs in the beach house (the cottage is not considered chair-accessible due to the large entry steps and the small bathroom). Outside, the new ramp was very much appreciated, as was the spacious wraparound deck. There was even a wide-tire wagon that was perfect for taking our loved one to the beach (we could never have done that in the wheelchair). The path from the driveway to the beach house was made of pavers with large gaps between them, making for a bumpy ride, and we got stuck a few times. From the pavers to the new ramp, and from the deck into the house, are steps a few inches high; not impossible, we just had to get creative with door mats to make the transitions with the electric chair. These were minor items for us though, and we would certainly stay here again.
