My family stayed for the 2nd time at Zoe's Cottage and it was just as we remembered! Three years later, the home was still perfectly clean upon arrival, had all of the beach essentials in the shed outside, had the essentials for cooking in the kitchen, and had the same peaceful, relaxing feel that we needed for our week away. We ventured out to the Virginia Living Museum (definitely a favorite for our 2 kiddos) and the Virginia Aquarium (very, very crowded but nice - glad we saw it but probably won't revisit just due to the busy-ness). We mostly cooked at the house but did check out the Ocean View Fishing Pier restaurant which was good and had live music playing that evening. We saw dolphins on several occasions and caught and released mole crabs and ghost crabs. The bay is calm enough that our littlest doesn't get knocked over by the waves, but still fun for our oldest to swim and boogie board. We had a nice stretch of beach all to ourselves. The porch and the bench atop the dune are favorites for me. This is the perfect place to get away, relax, enjoy family time, and forget the worries of the world for a while. If you're looking for a place that is private, peaceful, and relaxing - this is it!

The sweetest lil cottage right on the water. Clean, charming and very cozy. We loved the quiet neighborhood. We could kick back and relax in Zoes cottage. Felt safe and right at home!

Very calming colors, comfortable rooms. Wonderful back porch facing the beach. Beautiful views. It’s a place where I could stay for a very long time. Close to everything but completely private. Thanks for the details that made this

We had an awesome week at Zoe's Cottage. There are a few things we look for in a vacation rental, and this one has it all! A great location - sometimes we were the only people on the beach, comfy beds, good showers, a kitchen we can actually cook in, and a covered outdoor space to hang out or eat. And, as a bonus, the cottage is super cute - with lots of art and beachy decor. Walking into the front gate felt magical. The area has lots of things to do, too. The zoo, the botanical gardens, Busch Gardens, restaurants, and more! Great week at the beach!

The house exceeded our expectations, beautifully decorated and came equipped with everything my 2 sisters and I needed for a lovely weekend together by the beach. The beach is right out the back gate and was quiet, peaceful and beautiful. Marida was a wonderful host, communicated well with restaurant ideas and ensuring check in went smoothly and giving us heads up about the neighborhood cat that did in fact spend the weekend on the back porch. We will be back!
