Location was great, but the property was not kept up, grass was overgrown and the outdoor furniture was disgusting. Inside was full of sand, I also found hairs that were clearly not mine or my spouse’s. I understand we were right by the beach but, there were tons of bugs, ants, and even roaches. Property owner was impossible to get ahold of via the app. He would respond and then we wouldn’t hear from him for days at a time. Garbage was not taken out before we got there, in fact, it was overflowing so much we couldn’t put our own garbage in there. We had to take the garbage out ourselves, nobody ever came to do so. We were there for close to two weeks, and it took until three days before we left for them to even cut the grass. The inside was not kept up, there were openings/holes next to the ACs for all types of bugs to get in, there were no proper blockages. The weather stripping around the doors was also missing or coming off. All sorts of bugs could get in that way as well. The work/repairs that you could tell were done previously, were done haphazardly.
Overall this was NOT WORTH the money we spent. Other than the location, all was well below our expectations. We have stayed in the area many times, and never stayed in a place like this. Additionally, this was not the only house on the property, we spoke with our neighbors and they had many of the same complaints we did. Really disappointed!

I enjoyed staying here. The beach was only 100 ft away from the back patio in a grill was provided with a fire pit. The owner was super friendly understanding and extended without question when asked. The property was clean when we got there and there were plenty of dishes pots pans towels etc.
Check in with simple the code worked right away and they were no issues with any of that. There's a fishing pier with a bar and grill that's seasonal and unfortunately wasn't open when we were there but looks like it would be ideal. This is off the main Virginia Beach kicking path which we liked because it was a little quieter. The kitchen is large clean and up to date. There was an ice maker which was super cool and helpful as well as a coffee pot and new appliances stove etc.
Obviously being a beach house it's probably a little older but it's the best bang for the buck you're going to find out in this area!

Best spot on the beach. Very laid back and convenient for place. Also cozy. Will be booking again.

The units are close together with no privacy. None of the windows have curtains.
Neighboors dog constantly barked 8 plus hrs day as it was tied outside.
Kitchen lacked bare essentials.
The rancid smell of dog permianted the air. Even after multiple attempts to shampoo rugs. Paint peeling, roof leaked. Located in a sketchy area. No clothes dryer. I attempted to hang my clothes outside, they were stolen within 2 hrs.....

Just in town for the night to visit WinterFest.
Perfect place to stay. We only stayed one night, but definitely will be back. Will recommend this house to friends.

Up on arrival you will have to fight for parking spots. You have to park in the pier parking lot. There are spots designated for the houses but the house in front of us took all of them. When we first walked in there was a slight smell you can definitely tell it’s an older house! Floors are very in level. We understand (beach bugs) but we did have to kill several pincher bugs. I even had one in my bed. The area is a little rough especially for a bunch of women! Very close to the water but lots of trashed furniture outside. Grass to get to the ocean was very tall. All around we made it but probably wouldn’t stay again, mainly for safety concerns! We asked a grocery store worker how safe it was and he said look around your in ocean view there are security guards in grocery stores. So that didn’t help! The host responded quickly and we had a seem less check in!

The house was very cute, I loved the extra touches such as the sample toiletries and Pac Man machine. The beach was steps away and the fishing pier was a huge hit with my husband and daughter. Thank you for allowing us to enjoy your property, we hope to come back one day.

Very pleased with our stay. We were just a few steps from the beach. Loved that. The place was clean. Quiet. We just wanted the beach and rest and we were able to do both. George was easy to work with.
We definitely plan to return to this hidden place. Just hated to leave.

Older cabin was clean. Had everything we needed. Outside area needed alot of attention. Grass needed mowed and had some junk furniture sitting around that did not have to be there. Location to the beach and pier was awesome.

Contact the manager directly to confirm your rental is only booked on the calendar for this house. Apparently this house is listed on multiple rental sites and they aren't diligent enough to keep the calendars updated on each site. So at 9:30 pm on our first night, my 13 yr old son had to stop a strange man who entered our rental home. George wasn't empathetic to my concern for our safety and refused to come change the door code after the other renters left. He even told me this thing happens all the time when you rent homes (guess we've just been lucky as this was our first issue ever with a rental). Based on how he responds to renters who post negative reviews, I'm sure he will rebut this review and attempt to twist it into somehow being our fault. The house itself was nice considering it's age and the amount of work they've done to it thus far, location is great.

A Small Slice of Heaven
It was our first time at the beach and it was a wonderful experience. The house was clean, and cozy, and the view was stunning.. There was a minor maintenance issue upon our arrival, which was fixed immediately. George was very friendly. He answered all of our questions before and during our stay, he even recommended places to eat, and visit. We highly recommend this vacation rental.

overall experience very good , only things needed would be an umbrella for the table on the deck , and the queen bed is not comfortable so bring a mattress pad , otherwise a great beach house on the water ,

Great location to the fishing pier!!! Was super awesome to be able to walk out the back door and over the sand dune and be on the beach!
Not far from Virginia Beach and other great sight seeing things to do!
Thank you!

We brought our two dogs and 20 month old-perfect size for us and no indoor stairs for baby proof.
Couldn’t beat the 15 second walk to the beach. While it’s technically a public beach it is pretty private (less than 8 people during the day). It does get a little busier (maybe 10-15 people) after work hours but still nothing compared to VA beach.
Kitchen seemed well stocked although we didn’t cook any meals-got by on sandwiches and a few dinners out for our few nights. There is not an ice maker or ice trays so either bring your own or pick up some on your way in if you need it.
George was easy to contact and helped with any concerns in a timely manner. Thanks again for having us!

We were looking for an overnight getaway to a beach and this place was perfect! Being right on the beach was truly worth it. It was two of us and between enjoying food and live music at the restaurant on the pier (right by the home), playing Pac-Man at the home, and enjoying the beach it was such a great experience. If you’re looking for a simple beach getaway I highly recommend this property :)

This cottage was not quite what we were expecting. It had a very strong mildew/ smoke smell. The distance to the beach was nice.
