About this house rental

Some houses are on the beach but not all are beach houses. This is the Real Thing; built right into the dune. Step right off the deck onto the dune and a few more steps you're in the water! The beach front of the house has 40 foot frontage with all glass sliding doors, and windows. A great view from every room. The house has a private deck on the dune opening onto the grand mouth of the Chesapeake Bay /Atlantic Ocean and nine mile long beach! The dune gives some privacy from the beach but still affords a great view. There is short 10 foot sandy private path leading from the back of the deck over the dune directly to the beach. Perfect.

The main house has two bedrooms with queen beds and two bathrooms. And, are you visiting with friends . . . . During the summer season - there is an "in-law apartment" next door to the main house (separate entrances - totally separate rentals) that can be available for $150/night. CALL US TO RESERVE.

The Wi fi is strong! We offer a, "Smart" 55 inch 4k TV (hulu and amazon furnished) and lots of sea breezes! Only a mile away from the interstate with easy access to all points, Norfolk, VA Beach, Hampton, Williamsburg, even DC. Open, bright, airy, dune level, all one floor, ceiling fans and ac in every room. Fully equipped kitchen, gas oven and central heat. Some dogs ok with approval and pet fee.

Looking forward to seeing you on the beach!

Nice being right by bay, water. House was pretty basic. could use better kitchen items and more comfortable furniture. There is no way to lock sliding glass doors back of house from outside, just a wood 2 x 2 board inside to keep it locked.

Did not impact our stay as house was secure from winds and rain. We loved the fact that the beach was not crowded and so close to the house - very easy to access. Beds were comfy and big screen tv was great to watch the Olympics.

I stayed there with my family in August. Beach was peaceful and the sunsets were beautiful. The house had all the amenities that we needed. We enjoyed our stay.

The house was great and we will stay there again. It was about a 25 minute drive to the boardwalk, but there is a grocery store right down the street where we were able to get everything we needed for the week.

We all greatly enjoyed our stay. This fabulous beach house is steps away from the beac right over the dune. It was very relaxing to sit out on the deck and watch the ships go by. We cooked on the grill last night and enjoyed sitting bayside for dinner. The sunrise this morning was stunning! Thank you for providing kayaks for my family to use and the effortless check in procedure 😊

Hands down our most memorable vacation to date! The Owner actually came to say hello to us and the property managers Amanda, Cindy and Brian were so responsive and accommodating to all of our needs. The view is amazing, the back deck is perfect for coffee and a beautiful sunrise. The huge windows make waking up easy, when you open your eyes that beautiful view is mesmerizing. We have already planned our trip next year and we will be booking with Great Coastal again! Don’t hesitate just book it and thank me later!!

Cozy & quaint is what comes to mind. Just had a welcoming feel. Could use some deep cleaning, but otherwise clean and a handrail coming up the front steps would be helpful. But once through the front door you feel as though you’ve stepped into a very secluded, comfortable home.

Overall, what I wanted. Small cottage on the beach. Very clean and well equipped. Because it was early spring could not take advantage of the water. Some nights they were high winds and the windows in the bedrooms were not sealed well. Had to rig up a plastic bag to keep out the wind.

It was a fantastic vacation. The beach was super private and the house was just perfect for our family - 2 adults & 2 kids. Loved the deck and the kayak. You get views of both - gorgeous sunrise and sunsets, beautiful shallow and friendly waters. We loved the house, our stay and the property management.

We spent four nights here at the end of a two week road trip. The beach house was wonderful. We travel frequently both domestically and internationally. This house was by far one of the cleanest places we have stayed. The property manager called us the day of arrival to welcome us and answer any questions. The house is very colorful with amazing views of the beach. As the description states, it is directly on the beach. The beach is in a residential area on the bay. It is perfect for swimming, kayaking, and just relaxing. It was so peaceful and relaxing that we really had no reason to leave the area. We even found a great local restaurant a short walk down the beach on a fishing pier. For anyone who wants more activity, it is a short and easy drive to Virginia Beach Boardwalk and just a short drive to Busch Gardens Williamsburg which we visited the day we checked out. The rental far exceeded our expectations!

Definitely on the beach but note it is on the bay not directly on ocean which makes the waves more calm and friendlier for kids. Bathrooms are a bit small and the beds are small. Couch is not comfy enough to sleep on but the reclining chair is. Loved that there was a hose to rinse off sandy feet before going into house. Also close to some good food. Manager was very friendly and available.

We loved this little house right on the dune on the Chesapeake! There were 2 kayaks we used every day. It had everything we needed, although the grill was not useable, but the owner now knows and am sure it will be replaced! We also rented the attached apartment, which was equally wonderful! Will be coming back!

Location is great, right on the beach. Just steps away. However, it's surrounded by cactus and sharp plants. The fire pit is literally surrounded on all sides by something that can cut you. The house itself was very small but totally fine if it wasn't so grimey. It would not take that much money to renovate but it has shotty construction and everything was sticky. It says the house has ac but they only have window units. It was in the low seventies when we were there and the window units were barely keeping up. There were old dirty bed linens balled up in the closet. The final straw was the constant helicopters flying extremely close over the house all night. Would not recommend. Sorry but no.

Beautiful View

Beautiful View

We wanted to get out of DC for a long weekend during the pandemic, but needed it to be within driving distance, on a beach and away from crowds. This little cottage fit the bill. The view is beautiful, it is right on the beach and if another group was 100 feet away from us on the sand, that would have been close! We were able to bring our dog, which was great (note dogs are not allowed on the beach until after 6pm at this time of year). There is a grocery store nearby for provisions, so we stocked up and stayed in for a few days enjoying the beach and view. Cooking supplies are very basic, so if you think you might need it (eg a good chopping knife, cutting board, etc...), bring it, but we made due. It has been a nice stay.

This house is just a few feet from the beach. The area is quite and convenient. Also, the home was equipped with all of the necessary items to cook and it was stocked with plenty of towels. Moreover, Cindy the agent, was also amazing. She provided prompt responses and was extremely helpful. My family and I would definitely stay here again.

Home away from home

Home away from home

Dec. 2019 My sister and I each experienced tragic events in 2019 so we decided to plan a non-traditional Christmas. We packed our bags and ran away from home to this cute cottage just steps from the ocean. The kitchen was very well equipped and the living room most comfortable with a fireplace for the December nights. Cindy was very accommodating and helpful. This was just what we needed. Would definitely stay there again.
