About this property

Postcards from the Bay

Summary:
Enjoy breathtaking sunsets and Bayfront peace in this modern and tranquil 2 bedroom home. This prime location gives you the privacy and peace you need with quick access to the beach and entertainment.

The Space:
This Sojourn Home is a stylish space allowing sleeping for 6 with ultra plush linens and bamboo pillows. Each window allows a picturesque view of beachfront living. The kitchen is fully appointed and features stainless steel appliances. Beach towels are provided, bringing your relaxation mindset and fun attitude. You will not be disappointed. Beach chairs are available.

Guest Access:
Our home is contactless, seamless and easy self check in. A code will be set for you and shared before your arrival.

The Neighborhood:
Tucked along Norfolk’s northern edge, the Ocean View neighborhood blends laid-back coastal charm with a strong sense of community and history. With nearly seven miles of Chesapeake Bay shoreline, Ocean View is where locals gather for beach bonfires, fishing off the pier, or evening walks as the sun sets over the bay. The neighborhood is known for its relaxed vibe—porch swings and crab boils, kids riding bikes to the water, and neighbors who still wave hello. Ocean View Avenue anchors the area, lined with unpretentious seafood joints, long-standing diners, and locally owned shops that have served generations. You’ll find live music on warm nights, community festivals, and a deep appreciation for life by the water. Whether you're paddle boarding at sunrise, grabbing a cold drink at a bayside bar, or just enjoying the view from your front steps, Ocean View offers more than just a beach—it offers a lifestyle rooted in simplicity, salt air, and a welcoming spirit you’ll feel right away.

Getting Around:
Easy access to main roads: I-64 & I-664, public transit with bus (Hampton Roads Transit) and train (Amtrak)

Local Gems

- Ocean View Fishing Pier: The longest pier on the East Coast, perfect for casting a line or catching the sunset.

- Greenies Bar & Grill: A laid-back beachfront spot for fish tacos, cold drinks, and unbeatable bay views.

- Ocean View Station Museum: A charming stop where you can explore the neighborhood’s deep ties to rail, resort, and military history.
