About this property

Norfolk Beach Cottage Rental

Welcome to our charming cottage right across the street from the beach! This beautiful home offers 3 bedrooms and 1 full bath. Downstairs bedrooms include a queen and full bed. There is a very narrow spiral staircase leading to the second floor where there are 4 twin beds and a gaming area for your children to enjoy. We provide all linens and 8 beach towels and 8 bath towels.

We are pet friendly for a pet fee of $100. Please confirm when booking so that we can approve your pet. There is a park in walking distance for your children and pets as well as the beach directly across the street. Our front yard is fenced in but it does not have a gate on it. We do get beach burs in the grassy areas sometimes during the year. We try and eliminate them but they are common at the beach.

You will feel right at home in our kitchen and bathroom with all appliances including dishwasher, coffee maker, pots/pans and dishware.

We have on-site parking for up to 5 vehicles, and a tranquil shaded back yard complete with a grill and picnic table all across the street from the beautiful Chesapeake Bay and beach.

If you are military or are interested in long term rentals during the winter, please let us know at 757-639-4855 and we can discuss potential arrangements.

Whether you enjoy crabbing, fishing, skim boarding, swimming in the Spring and Summer or walking through the historic district of downtown Norfolk in the Fall and coming back and cuddling up by the fire place, it's all here year round. What a wonderful place to just relax, shop or to find great adventure.

Here you will experience the most beautiful sunrises and sunsets with miles of safe beaches to stroll and play. You are certain to enjoy yourself in East Ocean View. Bring plenty of suntan lotion, and be sure to bring your boat, if you have one. Our local boat ramp and marina are just blocks away. Come and make memories that will last a lifetime! We look forward to seeing you

Whether you start your morning with your toes in the sand watching the sunrise with a cup of coffee or fishing off the beach, it is the perfect way to start the day.

Beach towels and 2 chairs available

- Washer & Dryer

- As a courtesy to our guests, we provide 1 Roll of paper towels, 1 roll of toilet paper, 1 trash bag, small bottle of dawn and 1 dishwasher tab. These will help you get started when you first arrive but you will need to bring additional supplies depending on the time you are renting including laundry detergent and toiletries.

- Fully equipped kitchen with stainless steel pots and pans, dish ware, glasses, and silverware to accommodate 8 guests

- Central heating and cooling system

-The hardwood flooring downstairs is original from the 50's. We had them sealed in 2022 but even after cleaning sand gets into the crevices. We do our best to clean the floor but it tends to still have sand from all the beach traffic on it even after cleaning. We mention this to be completely transparent so that if this would bother you then another beach home without original hardwood floors would be better for you. We don't want anyone unhappy and want to make sure we identify and communicate everything both positive and negative about our cottage.

-If you want a completely bug free experience for your vacation then a beach house is probably not the place to vacation. We employ a pest control company that comes several times per quarter and sprays outside and inside of home. Unfortunately bugs still get into our cottage and no matter how many times we have it sprayed some still come in between the treatments. We hate all bugs but cannot guarantee a bug free stay living at the beach. We would rather you choose a location that will guarantee no pests than to come to our cottage and be unhappy because of finding any types of pests as we can't treat any more frequently than we already do. Most of the time we don't have any but still on occasion they come back. We do not offer refunds because of pests.

During the winter months from December to March we do offer long term rentals. If you are interested to rent during any times in these months please contract us at 757-639-4855 on rates.

Weekend getaway

The house was just the right size for 6 women ranging in ages 13-73. One bathroom was fine for all of us. The rooms were of good size and the fridge could fit so much food. Definitely would stay here again.

Wonderful and cute cottage!

We came for a comedy show and this was way better than getting a local hotel! It’s in the quiet part of Virginia Beach and the oceanfront is right across the street, which made it nice to walk to! We will be booking again for any future events here!!

Small but Cozy :)

I stayed here with a couple friends for my birthday party, and we all loved this place!! It was not as small as they warned us to be, and I would say it’s the perfect place to have a party with a few friends. I would 100% stay and have a party here again :) I have to thank the owner’s for fast and efficient communication as well! This weekend couldn’t have gone any better. If you are thinking of booking here, I absolutely recommend it!

Disappointing

There was a swarm of mosquitoes so you could not be outside. The house smelled of urine upon entering. There were dead and living cockroaches. The proximity to the beach was nice. Check in was very easy. There was no dish soap or dishwashing detergent.

We enjoyed the place and location, except for the animal fur in the chairs -- my sister and niece were allergic and therefore were very uncomfortable -- we eventually discovered the culprits. Otherwise it was a great brief stay.

Fun little beach stay

This was a short stay for us and had very convenient location to the beach. Not the best neighborhood, but is a great cheaper alternative to VA beach. The only negative about the stay was the shower had previous guest hair stuck to the walls. Other than that it was very cute with a large upstairs loft for kids, and comfortable, and most of the basics. No laundry soap or wash cloths, but those were not a big deal for our short stay. The host did provide snacks and water and a lot of information about restaurants in the area. Overall it was very cute and a great place to have kids stay near the beach.

Steps from the beach

Short walk to a nice quiet beach! Kitchen was more than comfortably equipped with all the necessities. House was clean and comfortable. Plenty of beach towels and beach toys/necessities. Hose located right outside the door to spray sand off after a day at the beach. Communication with Ricky and Gina was excellent!!! Only minor complaint we had, which is not the fault of the homeowners, is the noise from loud cars/motorcycles/people passing by was much later and louder than we are used to. Overall we enjoyed our stay and being so close to the beach!! Thank you Ricky and Gina!

Needs maintenance

The cockroach problem could easily be dealt with by using a professional exterminator instead of the dollar general roach motel behind the toilet. 3/4 of the upstairs bed mattresses are so thin that you can feel the frame or springs or something through them. The main bedroom box spring kept falling off of the undersized bed frame and had to be repeatedly balanced precariously within a quarter of an inch on it. There’s a garden hose by the back door near the sign that tells you to wash your feet. Don’t try that one because it doesn’t work. Dig through the pile of leaves off to the side near the picnic table to find the one with the cracked nozzle. That one will make sure rhat your whole body gets the sand sprayed off while you’re just trying to rinse your feet. The kitchen is really nice but otherwise it’s a lot like camping just with air conditioning.
