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.

Cute little beach spot

We loved our stay! The listing was accurate and the location was great! We enjoyed the restaurant on the pier and the house was actually bigger than I thought it would be! Perfect for our quick weekend getaway!

Great stay, the house is very conveniently located (50 feet to the beach, 0.5 mile to a Harris Teeter). There's some beach stuff (chairs, a beach cart, an umbrella, a few body boards). A few things to consider when renting this house:1. Bring a few knives. The ones that are there are super dull2. Bring spices, sugar, and salt 3. There's no AC in the smaller bedroom. Wasn't a problem for us, it wasn't very hot, and there's a large fan4. Wi-Fi signal is pretty weak (barely any in the backyard), but the speed is okOverall we've all enjoyed our stay a lot.

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.

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.

Wonderful getaway

This was a wonderful little getaway for us. Even with the unusually high winds, we had a great time in this cute house which had everything we needed (perhaps bring paper towels?). We had great direct beach access and wish the pier bar & grill had been open for the season! We will be back. Great location to nearby restaurants, and no wifi concerns. Parking was easy!

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.

Easy access to the beach

We enjoyed our stay at this property. It is not on the beach but it is steps away from the beach. There is no beach view from the property. However, the rental allows parking and easy access to the beach. George was very responsive. We enjoyed our stay.

Archaic Beach Bungalow

100 years old and remolded to modern perfection without taking away from the history. Remember it's archaic, so on chilly nights in the front rooms and kitchen you might have to put on a few more clothes. The bedrooms are cozy. Check the bed placements and sizes before you stay.

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!

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.

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.
