About this cottage rental
The BLUE HEAVEN BEACH COTTAGE is located on Ocean Front Ave making it easy to take a cup of coffee to watch the early morning sunrise or to run back to the house for lunch and a nap after playing on the beach! Grab a cocktail, walk over the dune and catch the fireworks from the Oceanfront....and the dolphin watching is GREAT at this location of the beach. In the colder months, the fireplace has an electric heat insert to keep it cozy.
Come and listen to the waves crash against the shore, smell the salty ocean spray, enjoy the oversized outside deck, and reminisce about the fun you had all day catching waves, body surfing, sunbathing and playing games!
Off-street parking, total of 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms (2 Queen Bedrooms; and a 2- bedroom suite featuring double with twin above bunk in 1 room and double with trundle in the 2nd room). Renovated six years ago with all NEW electrical and plumbing systems, NEW HVAC, NEW flooring, NEW deck, NEW recessed lighting, NEW kitchen cabinets and appliances, NEW beautiful tiled bathrooms, NEW outdoor shower, and NEW furniture and bedding. Eat-in kitchen with high top table seats 6. Lovely large deck has plenty of room for entertaining with seating area and dining table for six for family outdoor dinners and an outdoor grill. After a day at the beach, rinse off with our enclosed outdoor shower. Well stocked kitchen with newish appliances... but if you don't feel like cooking, restaurants galore are within a 5 minute drive (ask the owner/host for restaurant recommendations). Plenty of local attraction brochures inside our cottage. Convenient to Naval Bases if you are affiliated with military and located just outside of Ft Story (and the Cape Story Lighthouse). There are no busy streets or traffic here to concern yourself with, as this beach cottage is on the ocean side of Atlantic Ave on Ocean Front Ave at 85th Street, and only 1 house separates you from the dune to the beach. Enjoy the private walkway to the beach through the dunes or from the street via city boardwalk access. This great north-end location offers a quiet and quaint atmosphere, with the National Anthem playing at 8 am every day from Ft Story!
Within a short drive you will find Virginia Marine Science Museum, dining, movie theater, shopping, library, Rec Center, zoo, botanical garden, fishing, water park, go-carts, boardwalk, and the list goes on!! Like to hike or run? First Landing State Park trails are just a few minute's walk away! Colonial Williamsburg, Jamestown, Water Country USA and Busch Gardens are just a 45 minute drive.
PLEASE NOTE: Returning guests and active duty military enjoy a 10% discount on nightly rates.

First time in Virginia. We had a great family vacation. Love the proximity to the beach, watermark, and other sights. House is comfy, clean, and well stocked. Outdoor shower is a great plus

Sweet spot with everything a family could need and more. All the chairs, beach toys, family games. The cherry on top is the outdoor shower with adjustable hot and cold water.

Beautiful, immaculate home! Perfectly appointed and suited for Grandma and Grandpa downstairs, parents and kids upstairs, and for our beloved pup.
The hosts are warm, gracious, and generous, and have thought of everything you might need. Truly a perfect spot for our North End vacation. We loved the upstairs deck too. The outdoor shower with hot/cold and hose for feet and beach toys/chairs is the cherry on top. We hope to return!

This was our second year staying here and the place has always been clean and well appointed. You can’t beat the location—right next to the beach access. We will be back!

We had a great time at this rental. Every thing was provided for fun beach time to include towels, toys & beach chairs. It was super easy to access the beach. This VRBO was well-equipped, cleaned and spacious for 4 adults, 4 kids and our dog. We would certainly come back. Our favorite part was having a beautiful, clean beach that was NOT crowded. We live the location!

We had a great time and loved the property! There are actually 4 bedrooms, not 3 like the listing says. Plenty of room for everyone! We were so happy to be able to have our pups with us. Thank you for opening your home to pets!

The layout of the house worked perfectly for us. My daughter and her four year old twins took over the upstairs and I had the downstairs bedroom.

We really loved staying at this little home away from home! Our vacation group consisted of three generations of family members plus dogs. There was plenty of space for us to use the house as our home base of operations. Very quick walk to the beach, ample supplies on site, and quick access to a variety of restaurants, grocery stores, etc. We loved staying here and will definitely return!

Great location!
My husband and I, with our 2 dogs enjoyed our stay. Location is perfect. Close to the boardwalk and very short walk to the beach, which is not very crowded! The place was as advertised. Very clean, great amenities. Would stay here again.

Wonderful Property - small hiccups with property manager
Stayed here for Shamrock Marathon/ Half-Marathon weekend as the home is directly on the course. Short walk to an uncrowded beach was wonderful. Short drive to any attractions.
Only one difficulty - it was raining very hard when we arrived and there was a leak in the ceiling. We were able to get a hold of the property manager who had someone out the next morning to patch the roof. He noted this was an ongoing issue and offered a small refund as a token. I thought that was very kind until we checked out and never received the refund.

Beautiful getaway
We spent our Thanksgiving here so we could spend it with our son in the Coast Guard. We loved our stay here! House was extremely clean and had all the amenities needed to have a great Thanksgiving. Loved that we were able to bring our dog also. The beach was steps away which was perfect for early morning walks & coffee & endless hours playing catch. Would highly recommend & hope to be back.

love staying at the north end of va beach. Beach beautiful. Great bike riding in the park. Adorable house with everything one needs. Sorry it was too cool to really enjoy the deck. Next time!

Blissfully deserted beachfront
Our stay at Lisa's home was everything we had hoped for - a quiet neighborhood, steps from the beach, almost empty during the off-season. We loved bringing our dog to romp in the surf - and that access points had doggie bags, and trash cans were frequent. The house was comfortable, had everything we needed, and the roof porch was great for grilling a family dinner and enjoying the ocean breeze. We can't wait to go back.

Steps away from private beach!
We had an amazing stay! Lisa was extremely accommodating and responsive. The location of the home was perfect. We had a young daughter traveling with us so being that close to a beach was a key! The beach was empty and almost felt like a private beach most days. The house was even more spacious than the pictures made it seem. Great stay! We hope to be back.

Large, uncrowded, perfect beach
Uncrowded on Labor Day weekend. Super clean, updated beach home, within 1 house of the beach. Perfect home for families or small group.
Loved watching the numerous dolphin playing and jumping a short distance from shore. Watched an aircraft carrier cruise by.
Probably the largest beach I have ever visited, in a wonderful beachy neighborhood.

Terrific
Exactly as described! Everything you need is there and the beach a few steps away. Everything clean and comfortable. We didn’t use the roof deck because it was still too hot at nite. We will be back!

Beautiful get away!
This place was amazing! It is so clean and beautiful! It has its own little path to the beach and it’s away from a lot of people. The people in the neighborhood are super friendly too which makes it even better! It was the perfect place for my two little kids. The manager, Lisa, is so friendly and helpful. We will be going back next summer for sure!!

Birthday week
The cottage is quaint but surprisingly spacious for six adults and two dogs. It helps, though, that we were six adults on various schedules. The location is in a nice and quiet section of Virginia Beach. The walk to the beach is short and scenic. The only drawback would be, of course, no view of the ocean. No worries because it was too stinking hot to sit outside for too long anyway! Celebrating my 60th birthday with my family was all I needed. I would revisit this property in the future.

Great beach house!
We absolutely loved our stay and only wished we could have stayed longer. The house had everything we needed and was so close to the beach. We look forward to visiting again!!

Great stay
Very clean and nice place. It is steps away from the beach, secluded and away from the busy part of Virginia beach, but 10 mins (or less) drive if you want to go to the boardwalk and restaurants . We enjoyed it.

Great location on the north end
We stayed here with eight people (six adults and two children) for about a week - good experience with some caveats:
- Pocket door upstairs for the bedroom allows all sound to travel through and does not lock.
- Second full bath upstairs very tiny. Basically half bath size with a shower forced in. House does still have three toilets and showers.
- Patio top step had an angle to it (hopefully fixed) where some of the family almost slipped down the stairs.
- Grill is natural gas hard line and need of new ignition and better placement. Underneath a house overhang, and difficult to manually light safely in any sort of winds. Also flames out when winds are greater than 10 mph or so, so watch the gas buildup. A way to prevent this is to put burners on high, but then your food will likely burn.
- No recycling. Neighbors have the bins, so we put some of our separation in their blue cans when Tuesday came around. Unsure why there’s no option to recycle, maybe bad experience w renters and separation of trash/recycling?
Anyway, overall very good experience. Just take those caveats before you book. It’s a quick walk to the beach without a view; will hold six adults pretty comfortably, anymore than that will feel crowded after a few days. Thin walls/doors allow sound to travel pretty easily. But like I said, great location. Parking situation is well thought out. Would stay again w less people.

Amazing beach house
The house was so clean and we'll stocked! The location is perfect and on a very quiet end of the beach. Lisa is fantastic and communication was great
5.0 / 5.0
Wonderful Property!!
Upon entering we were pleasantly surprised that it felt larger than pictures made it appear. Adorable, comfortable furnishings, well-stocked kitchen, and great access to the beach. We loved hanging out on the rooftop deck (bring some bug spray, the mosquitos were biting). The quieter end of the beach away from the busy boardwalk was perfect for us, and it was still just a quick drive to all the action and to pick up great seafood over at Chic's beach. You won't be disappointed here!
