This was such a great little house for my family of 4! We loved how close it was to the water and it had everything we needed for staying in Norfolk for a few days. We'll definitely be back again!

What a cozy and charming home booked for a weekend with my sister and her dog just to unwind. The house was walking distance to the beach, and was very clean and inviting.

Could not have been better!

The house was absolutely lovely. It was cute and comfortable and such a short walk to the beach. This visit was the highlight of our summer and we definitely hope to come back.

DO NOT BOOK this property! The host did not supply check in and check out instructions. The home would not pass a home inspection. The stove burns the countertops which is a fire hazard. The ceiling has water damage and is caving in. The yard was overgrown with weeds and overrun with feral cats. The fireplace had standing water. The smell of ammonia was overpowering! The half bath is a toilet in a closet. The main bathroom door does not open all the way. The front door is insecure; you can shake the door open. Save yourself the trouble and book in another location!!!
