We had a wonderful stay at the beach Bungalow this week! The house was so nice, clean and had everything that we needed for our stay. Our favorite part was having the private beach access , which was especially nice and convenient with our little ones. Tom and Cate were great, and were quick to respond to any questions that we had. Thank you for a great time, and we hope to return for another stay in the future!

The beach bungalow was clean, well managed, and had everything we needed for our stay. The beach was just a few steps away, and we were able to utilize the chairs, beach toys, and kayaks that the owners provided for us. Everything was neatly organized for us upon our arrival including a book with suggestions of places to eat and activities to do during our stay. The friendly house cat Piglett was a joy to spend our mornings with while we had our morning coffee in the crows nest. Would definitely recommend!

The great: * Location - quiet, easy and short walk to beautiful empty beach * Nice, clean house which was well-appointed with cooking and beach items * Washer and dryer were great * Parking was easy and convenient * Ice maker easily kept up with demand * Loved the dolphins The "could have been better for us": * Cameras - installed in front of house (common and understandable), but also off the back of house which made our teenage girls uncomfortable walking to and from the beach in their bikinis knowing they were being recorded. Creeped them out and we hardly used the back deck to hang out on feeling we were always being watched and listened to. * Beds were not comfortable * Pillows were lacking in number and very flat - we ended up purchasing our own halfway through the week * After departure, we were charged $150 to replace 5(!) complete sets of towels because daughter accidentally used a white washcloth to wipe her non-waterproof mascara on instead of the black washcloth she was supposed to. We don't have a problem at home getting washcloths clean... This was something we have never experienced in the dozens of hotels, rentals from other companies and vrbo's we have stayed in over the years...

The beach bungalow was so relaxing. Couldn't have been any better. We fell in love with piglet 😁

Our favorite spot was sitting up on the deck at night watching for dolphins and ships in the bay. We spend mornings on the beach relaxing and fishing (caught spots, white perch and flounder). Piglet was bonus, he's a sweet cat that came around for food and company. This place is quiet for being on a busy road. It's an ride around Norfolk and to Virginia Beach. We recommend Watermans for the Crab Ripper sandwich and an orange crush.

Property has everything you need. Owners answer questions quickly and are very friendly to deal with. Its almost like having a private beach.

You can’t beat these views from the crows nest and the easy and private beach access! The beach is calm and relaxing. Hosts were lovely. The bungalow is nice and quaint and as described — the kitchen was especially nice. Extra large washer and dryer were great to have during the week. Beach cat Piglet is adorable. Our only complaint is the mattresses, particularly in the green room and peach room were not very comfortable. Otherwise this place was wonderful.

Great little place, clean, great location, close to the beach. We stayed at the end of June, beach wasnt busy and was clean. We would definitely stay again. Great company of Piglet the cat :)

Relaxing and quite.

Love this place! Cozy bungalow with all the extras! Private beach access ….perfect vacation getaway! Would highly recommend! Thanks Cate & Tom!

The Beach Bungalow exceeded our expectations! Our kids said it was their best vacation ever, and they are now in love with the ocean. We couldn’t ask for more! I miss my kids filling my pockets with beach treasures. My daughter and I each found a shark tooth! Our nightly crab hunts were also a lot of fun. The water was mostly calm with mild waves for boogie boarding and kayaking. Piglet the cat greeted us each morning and even joined us on the beach one evening. He helped our house feel like a home. We loved coming back to our cozy cottage after visiting the aquarium, the outlet mall, IFLY and the VA Beach boardwalk. We enjoyed dinners at the local Stony’s and Captain Groovy’s and did our grocery shopping at Food Lion. Very conveniently located! It was the perfect family vacation!

We had a wonderful stay at the Beach Bungalow! The location can’t be beat. We loved being steps from the beach. We saw many dolphins and crabs. Piglet was a joy and never failed to remind us of dinner time. We didn’t do much cooking but the kitchen seemed to be well stocked with everything. Had a little issue with the A/C and Tom took care of it immediately! Would definitely stay here again!

Cate and Tom were amazing hosts. They were quick to respond to any messages and helped out several times. They were very kind and followed up to ensure we had a good time. The bungalow is beautifully situated on the beach with a little path. We loved getting to use the Kayaks and the beach shed was well stocked. I wished we could have gotten to use the fire pit, but the weather decided to be cold and wet most of the trip. The house is very intimate and reminded me of my childhood home with the lay out. I was disappointed that the piano and writing desk weren't available for use, but the hot tub more than made up in its size and heat. Of course the star of the trip was Piglet! He immediately greeted us when we arrived and we delighted in putting some weight on him. I loved going out on the deck and for him to follow me so we could watch the water together.

Property is well taken care of. After a long day we enjoyed the iJoy chair for a massage, then the hot tub to top that off. Tom and Cate were very nice. View from the Crow's Nest is the perfect spot for waking with morning coffee.

The house is a perfect location for a family vacation. The beach is right there and the grocery store is just down the street. For rainy or cool days, the house is 30 minutes or less from museums.

We had a great time at the bungalow. Perfect place for a family vacation. We felt so comfortable in the house. The beach was nice and clean. The water was calm being on the bay! There are so many nice day trips near by like Colonial Williamsburg and Virginia Beach. House was clean, the hot tub is older and missing some parts but still worked and was comfortable on the colder nights!

The Bungalow was just as described. The owners were wonderful - prompt with responses to our questions. There was a threat of flooding due to storms and they made sure to check in on us and even offered to drive us if needed. And Piglet was so cute - waiting at the door each morning :)

Kat and Tom were lovely Hosts. Very prompt to respond and helped us with any questions we had. The accommodation was lovely and cozy and Clean. It was exactly how it is described. Its situated on the beach, with the roof top terrace, it's was so enjoyable to watch the dolphins We booked this for the location, and boy, we were so happy. Just steps down onto the beach. The beach was so clean. I will be booking this again. Thankyou Tom and Kat !

This is our second vacation together at the Beach Bungalow. Most everyone spent the day at the beach, mostly because it was such a short walk back to the house for snacks, lunch, etc.. After dinner, there's the fire pit and then end the day in the hot tub! You can't beat it for peace and quiet...though a day trip to Virginia Beach and the aquarium is an extra!

We absolutely love going to the bungalow every year! The house is perfect for any beach lover. It is just steps away from the water! Cate & Tom are amazing with answering any questions and giving great recommendations!

A lot of ocean life this time of year.

This vacation home is wonderful. Peaceful and calm with tons of privacy. Everything was easily accessible for us. The house was very clean and great for our stay. Really appreciated the house book and spending time with Piglet!

We enjoyed our time at the Beach Bungalow very much. The house is very clean and has everything you need for a great, relaxing beach getaway. The view from the upper deck is phenomenal and the short walk down the stairs to the beach was perfect. The biggest plus is the lack of crowds on the beach. It was perfect. We will definitely consider staying here again.

Perfect location to enjoy the beach and sun! My family had a wonderful time and we plan to return to the beach bungalow. The upper deck is perfect to enjoy the sunrise and picturesque views!

Everything was great. The house, the ocean and the quietness. Looking forward to next year.

We love this house! This was our second stay at the beach bungalow and it was just as wonderful as it was in 2020. It is such a relaxing place and perfect for our family. The kids had their own space and so did we. Being so close to the beach is amazing and makes it so much more enjoyable. We thought it might be more crowded than 2020 but it wasn’t. The Bay is perfect with waves that are just the right size for kids. There were other families on the beach but so far away we couldn’t even hear them. It was like we had a private beach. The kids built sand castles and played in the waves without disturbing anyone. We couldn’t ask for a better location. The new beach chairs were a nice surprise. They were fantastic! Everything in the house is so easy to find. It is well maintained and the new flooring is beautiful. Everything we needed was there. Tom and Cate do a great job making this home comfortable. It was nice to meet Tom in person as we were leaving and chat with him. Rebecca (who comes to clean) even recognized us from 2 years ago and stopped to chat as well. Everyone was so nice! The only issue I had was the bed in the green room is very loud. I thought initially it was the frame, but that felt solid. I think it was actually the box springs and maybe the mattress. Every time I sat on the bed, rolled over during the night, or got up to the bathroom, it was so loud it woke my husband up. Sometimes it sounded like it might break. We told Rebecca and she said she would let Tom know, which is great. It was definitely not something that would cause me to give a bad review at all! The ceiling fans in all the rooms do an amazing job with the air conditioning to keep the house comfortable (I froze my kids out!) which was nice to come home to after being out in the heat! We even had a cool enough evening that we were able to enjoy the hot tub without overheating. We like going to different places and experiencing new things with our kids, but this house called to us to return. You are really spoiled by the location. We will be back again for sure. The beach will call us back! Thank you Tom and Cate for sharing your beautiful bungalow with us 😊😊

We had a really nice stay. The place is somewhat dated in a not-so-great part of town. But it was awesome to have basically a private beach to ourselves on the calm water of the Chesapeake Bay.

Very nice property. clean and comfortable. Great location and a perfect fit for our family. Loved the close proximity to the beach and the peaceful and uncrowded beach was a definite plus! Made for a comfortable and restful vacation for us. Would love to return!

Great experience from start to finish. We didn’t have any issues, and the beach and views were amazing!

We had a great visit at this Bayfront cottage. We had the beach to ourselves most days. The kids loved having piglet to feed. The house is older but very clean and functional. Lots of little thoughtful items from soap to nightlights.. highly recommend a stay here. It was our first time on the bay instead of ocean and it was perfect foe our kids who are learning swimmers vs the more dangerous ocean area. Owners were friendly helpful and responsive. Thanks for the memories.
