Cozy Historic Beach House only Steps Away from Beach and Fishing Pier!

Kayaks and beach equipment rentals available, message host for details!
This well-equipped, historic 2 bed/1 bath house has semi-private beach access on the beautiful Chesapeake Bay and is located next to the Ocean View Fishing Pier and rooftop bar and grill!
It is about 1000 square feet in size, and has 1 queen size bed, 2 twin size beds, and a queen sofa bed in the living room. Fast WiFi, 50” smart TV in the living room and 40" smart TV in the main bedroom. Window AC units for air conditioning and each room is heated with thermostat controlled infrared units. It is within close driving proximity to Virginia Beach Oceanfront, Chic's Beach, Downtown Norfolk, Old Dominion University, and Christopher Newport University.
The house sits only about 100 feet away from the beach, with a short path from your backyard past my other rental house to access the beach. There are no steep dunes or stairways to navigate, no streets to cross, and the access is not shared with the public.
Housebroken and well-behaved pets are allowed with payment of the pet fee. This property will be deep cleaned and sanitized between every reservation. This is a recently acquired property and will be continually improved with summer profits.

Property very clean, steps away from Oceanview fishing pier.

Property is clean and neat. However, a tad rundown. Very close to the beach as described and next to the Oceanview fishing pier. Communication with property owner excellent. Overall a good experience.

Getaway

I rented this house for myself and my cousin. Location for fishing was great. Right next to the pier. Short walk. I wouldn’t recommend the pier restaurant. Food was ok but the service was terrible. The pier was great.

Exactly what it says it is

Older house, decorated appropriately and kept clean. Everything you need for a stay at the beach. Great location. Parking lot at the pier, which is next door, stays busy all night during the weekend. Lots of motorcycles on the road all night that you will hear. But those things arent the fault of the property. All in all, this house is great for what it's for....a clean place right on the beach.

Amazing Stay

The house was actually bigger than we anticipated. It was described well. The reviews were accurate and based on opinion. Our opinion was that everything was perfect. Our 2 dogs joined us and also loved it! The area seemed a little sketchy but there was a great tall fence blocking the parking lot so we had our own little area! All beds were made, towels provided, dishes, cooking needs, grill, fire pit, laundry- it was perfect for us coming from NY! The beach was easy access, a nice neighbor, and we just wished we could’ve stayed longer!

The place was ok

So the place needs some updates. Beyond that everything was ok we woke up to 6 people fist fighting in our backyard at 2am.The house backs up to a parking lot for beach/fishing pier so it seems like a lot of undesirables hang out. It’s directly on beach so that was a nice touch and almost makes up for other experience. If owner put in a couple grand to update house he could charge much more per night.

Small issues, GREAT LOCATION

Cute bungalow right next door to the fishing pier. Very clean upon entry and no problem accessing the key. We had 5 people but only 4 towels, 4 wash cloths and 1 hand towel. Microwave didn't work and there were no sheets or pillows for the sofabed which was less than clean, probably should replace it due to its age. The outdoor furniture should be replaced, tho I'm sure no one uses it. Overall tbis was a nice place, just old, but nice. The A/C worked great

It's was ok

We reserved the Little House on the water that was right on the water. When we showed upit was a totally different house and couldn't even see the water. It was not at all what was advertised. I would have never reserved it if I knew that. The only reason I reserved is because I wanted to be right on the water. It really feels like false advertising. The photos in the add are of a completely different house. Won't be renting this place again. I really feel ripped off. I reserved the lil blue house on the water but I was right on the side of the road next to the parking lot. It was supposed to be a romantic weekend getaway on the water with my woman but that's not what I got at all. I will never rent this property again and I really feel ripped off and that someone should owe me money but I guess I just got ripped off

VERY MISREPRESENTED

Property is NOT beach front. Had to walk past 2 other houses to get to beach. While walking past when we arrived the neighbors had not so friendly dogs. House also sits on a busy street. Inside the home had VERY bad pet smell. Outside in the yard the fence had wholes in it. We feel we were cheated out of our money. Home was not in good condition. Contacted owner he was not cooperative. He was not interested in giving us any compensation. He said we should open windows. We did not choose to stay here despite being tired from traveling all day to get there. It was that bad. We would NEVER recommend this house and feel you should take it off your website.

Location is great. Our dog loved the beach. Air conditioners and fans were great. Washer/Dryer challenging to figure out. No spices, just salt and pepper. Mattresses wrapped in plastic making it hot to sleep. No outlet in the bathroom to dry your hair. Clean.

Girls weekend

The grass had not been cut for a long time. The fire pit was not maintained and had excessive amount of cigarette butts in it. The chairs by the fire pit were moldy and dirty. Handrail in shower was missing. Bedroom air conditioner was making very loud noises. Very limited dishes and glasses in the kitchen.

Beautiful beach!

House was old (as described) and a bit shabby but very clean. Even a few minimal upgrades would improve it immensely. However the price was right and the location for that price was great! The fishing pier with the restaurant/bar at the end was a bonus. Beautiful beach to walk. The weather did not cooperate with us - we were a week too early but you can’t change the weather!

Beach Cottage

The place was clean and well kept, the building is starting to show its age, and needs a few maintenance items like weather stripping, to help with the wind off the ocean. Other than that, we enjoyed our stay and would recommend.

location is great BUT the pier was locked/closed and that was one reason I rented there but oh well, the house yes historic, clean inside but gaps under door and cold air coming in, doors need better locks, but it was what it was better if it was warmer weather, george was easy to communicate with very helpful
