Welcome to this family‑friendly 3‑bedroom beach house tucked inside the ViBe Creative District on 16th Street in Virginia Beach. Just three blocks from the beach and boardwalk, the home sits in a quiet residential pocket of the South End—an area known for its charm, safety, and walkability.

The cottage comes fully furnished and thoughtfully equipped for comfort. The spacious driveway and garage provide private parking, and inside you'll find free WiFi and cable.

Two guest bedrooms are located on this level—one with a queen bed and another with a full‑and‑twin bunk setup. A doggie door off the kitchen leads to the fenced backyard, giving your four‑legged family member easy access to play and explore.

The house was fantastic! We had ample space to visit - and the outdoor patio was a peaceful and great space for visiting!The kitchen was well equipped. The furniture and layout were super nice.We had a great stay and the host was very responsive. We will definitely stay here again when visiting VB!
The property was very nice, and was exactly as pictured in the listing. We greatly enjoyed our stay there. There was a housekeeping issue (trash bins almost completely full when we arrived the day after weekly trash pickup) which I texted about to the contact number I was given, but never heard anything back - hence the downgraded communication rating. All in all I would stay here again. Lovely rental property!!
This is a perfect house for families with grandparents in this location. Easy access to great food, coffee, and beer in the Vibe District. Would highly recommend.
Beautiful property in great location! Nice back patio with grill access and outdoor table to gather around. Our family enjoyed our stay. Would definitely stay here again.
We loved this property and will definitely stay again if in the area! The check in process was very easy and location great - an easy walk to the beach. Loved the fenced in yard and patio!
Easy half mile walk to the beach. Great food and coffee just blocks away. The house was even more spacious than I imagined from the listing and was perfect for our family spring break.
Wife and I enjoyed are stay in Virginia Beach and the location of this property was awesome and close to everything. Very clean property with everything you could ever need. Highly recommend!
It was a perfect house to walk to restaurants and the beach. The Vibe District is super cute and there are several great spots to eat. The house was spacious and very clean, worked great for our family.
Location was great - loved that it was close enough to the bridge but away from the noise of the main strip.
The split level bedrooms are great for elders.
Very nice house with plenty of room and new everything. 5 blocks or 15 min flat walk to board walk. Seven Eleven just round the corner. Plenty of parking.
Roomy yet cozy. The backyard was perfect for our little pups. Walkable to a nice handful of restaurants and breweries.
Definitely recommend this place.
I loved this property. Spacious, incredibly clean and just perfect for the 6 of us. About 15 minute walk to the beach. I would book this again in a heartbeat.
We were staying in VA Beach for my son’s wedding and this place was simply perfect. So well appointed, comfortable beds, kitchen had everything we needed, nothing to ask for. We missed the instructions for the internet and the host responded super promptly. Within walking distance to LOTS of restaurants. You won’t regret this stay.
