About this house rental
This Beach Front Cottage is so close to the water you can throw a rock in it. Come relax in our home on the water.
Park directly in front of your door and be on the sandy dunes within a few steps. This large sprawling home is fantastic for multi-families or smaller groups.
This is a large roomy home. A bit rustic, but pet friendly and WATERFRONT!!
We offer 4 bedrooms, 1 Living Room for the adults and one for the kids! Both with Large Smart TV's for your binging!
The kitchen, family room and dining area are arranged in an open room concept on the main floor.
This home features 4 bedrooms, the master with a Queen and a single and an attached full bathroom (with a stand up shower), the second bedroom has a queen and the 3rd upstairs bedroom has two twin beds. The Fourth bedroom, downstairs, has two twin beds and a Queen bed. This unit can sleep up to 12 guests if you are a close-knit group!
We have a deck on the back from which you can watch the sunrise and sunset.
Even with a bit of modernizing, the property is a historical home that is now over 85 years old. It has some eccentricities that reflect building standards and designs from the turn of the last century that lends to its charm as an older beach cottage. But even so, we hope that you will love our older and charming home.
We are pet friendly with appropriate fees.
• There are NO PARTIES ALLOWED! We are in a quiet, tight-knit, residential community. Our neighbors will not hesitate to report any excessive noise to the Police and to us! Immediate eviction with **NO REFUND** will result if there is a party on the property.
Please understand that once a reservation has been made, we do not revisit/refund if you have reduced the number of guests or have chosen to not travel with your pet. Quiet hours begin at 9 PM.
This is a Family/Residential unit and area. No loud music or noise.

We rented this property for 2 weeks. We plan a summer trip every year, after looking at numerous properties and units we decided on this one as the reviews seemed pretty positive. Mind you we also paid in full a year in advance. We arrived saturday afternoon and upon first inspection we realized the home desperately needed repairs. It was listed as a handicapped friendly home but the door has no railing, and there was also a small flight of stairs to use the bathroom and showers. The showers were dirty and black mold was visable in both showers. The toilet in one bathroom shook when sitting on it. It was very unstable. The sink had no hot water - which was later resolved but it constantly ran and the sink also had a mold mildew issue.
The kitchen although outdated was decent with plenty of room to cook and eat. There was not enough silverware for 12- and we had 10. Also pots and pans were minimal we actually went to walmart and purchased pots, pans and silverware. We also used paper plates as there were not enough plates for all of us.
Air conditioning units worked well but filters were nasty and not clean as well as the units all had mold and mildew.

Overall 3 stars out of 5 experience. Location was ideal - right on the beach in easy walking distance. The owner was also very communicative, which made checkin/checkout easy.
The house is in need of repairs. Our biggest issue during our stay was the weak plumbing -- 10 people sharing a bathroom where the toilet does not properly flush (and then the cheap plunger broke requiring an emergency trip to the store), put a damper on the trip. Additionally, cleaning in between visits could be improved. We noticed a smell in the kitchen and found rotten potatoes in one of the cupboards.
Given the price point and location, we were not expecting anything fancy. Overall we had a good experience, and the house itself could be improved with some quick fixes and improvements by the owner.

there was plenty of room, even though we could'nt use the basement bedroom. kids were able to use upstairs livingroom to sleep. inside home was clean. outside could use a little picking up. ocean view and beach was real nice.it is pretty much as described. overall,we enjoyed our stay.

This location is perfect beach access! It is a nice quiet location with not a crowded beach. The property manager was in contact and very helpful. Our biggest disappointment was the sand/growth in the way of the view from the deck. When sitting on the deck, couldn’t easily see the beach like the picture shows, from yearly buildup and weathering.

Perfect place to stay about 20 minutes from Virginia Beach. Had a great time. Ty to the Host.

We had an enjoyable stay for a long weekend. While listed as rustic, we felt dated would be a better description. As well as noting that there were many cosmetic repairs to be done. Broken windows fixed with duct tape, broken fridge drawers fixed with various kinds of tape. Trim pieces falling off the baseboard heaters.
In general the house was clean (floors, surfaces, baths and kitchen) however we did notice dust/dirt covering light bulbs and fixtures.
We did have some trouble keeping the master bedroom warm on a cold windy night because of the air coming in around the window a/c unit but some towels shoved around it helped some.
Beautiful deck off the back with a wonderful view. Just disappointed that there was no seating out there to really enjoy it.
While listed as family friendly - I would have felt uncomfortable having my toddlers with us due to the number of "broken" things they could get into and damage further.
Overall we had a lovely time, the owner gave excellent check in instructions via a message, and had excellent instructions printed at the house for amenities and checking out. The house fit us all very well - no shortage of bed space, and we would absolutely stay here again.

Kathleen is such a great host! And very accommodating to our group. What a beautiful spot on the beach. Very cozy. Would definitely stay again!

The house is quite roomy and in a great location. Literally steps from a great, quiet beach. The description is quite accurate and it's a nice functional space. Definitely could use a handyman and a weekend to get it into a much better shape but you should already know that from the descriptions and photos. Now for the downside: I had an issue with the house which pushed us to cut our trip short and leave a day early. I messaged the host and they did not reply. I didn't ask for a refund or different accommodation but I am surprised that an issue serious enough for a guest to leave your house didn't warrant a follow up from this host. But until that disappointing end we had a great trip to the beach.

The property is waterfront, but also has a plot a sand the kiddos have to cross before the ocean, which was a huge piece of mind for safety. The property manager is also awesome! Highly recommend for any family looking for a beach vacation!

We loved our stay at the home! Easy access, great location and wonderful home with lots of space! We loved the back deck as well.
Nothing fancy, but still a great home! Would recommend :)
I would recommend the property manager repair the wooden landing to the beach.

We enjoyed our stay, the view was wonderful and the deck off the back was nice. Our son loved the sand! This is an older home that needs some updates but that’s the rustic charm as described.

Plenty of room and very comfortable. Family members came to visit us on Christmas Day and enjoyed their visit. They lived in Norfolk so they didn’t stay at the house but easily could have. The house can easily handle 10 plus overnight guests.

Rustic Beach Cottage is what we were looking for our family vacation. Able to be on the sand & water in minutes. Great family time.

My family really enjoyed this property. The house was clean. It is not the Hilton. It is a simple, older style house with a lot of room. You could sleep ten in here easily. There was a bassinette which was very helpful for our two year old son. The ocean is only 100 feet away, and it was not crowded. My wife was worried reading a few of the ratings. We found them to be very inaccurate. You can't please everyone. Thank you for sharing your home with us.

I spent the weekend here with my guys and it was fantastic. Pretty simple house, not fancy but it has everything we need for a good weekend at the beach, and for a fair price. Would definitely return here in the future.

The house was located right on the beach, which was great, but the house itself was very disappointing for what we were charged. You rent a house expecting to have all the essentials in the kitchen, but the kitchen was pathetic! The owners really need to invest in some plates, glasses and some utensils and perhaps put some money into the house by doing some updates. The dishwasher bottom rack was broken, the drawers in the fridge were broken, the ice machine was broken, the sinks in both bathrooms had issues and the steps leading to the basement are just an accident waiting to happen. And beware if you are allergic to bees (my daughter is) and there are nests under the deck. The owners would know this if they spent anytime cleaning up the property.
The plus and only plus to this house was that it was right on the beach and had a great view. I'm sick over what I what I paid, for just a view. Yes, there were pictures, but the pictures didn't show all the broken items and how run down the house is.
We were a party of 7, so going out to dinner every night was not an option, but cooking in the kitchen was painful. If you plan to rent you should pack as if you were going camping. I was not as prepared.
Lower what you are charging, because you are robbing people out of their hard earned money.

My husband and I wanted to spend the weekend away. We brought our dog too. It is right on the beach over a sand dune. The beach is quiet and private. The rental was perfect for us! Clean and perfect if you plan to spend most of the time at the beach. The deck was also very nice and we used it in the evenings. Will stay again!

There is a constant leak in one bathroom, no hot water in the sink of one bathroom, a broken picture on the wall. We are older women and the beach access is a tough walk we actually had to use the access from the neighbors due to the condition of ours. This property definitely needs some work.
