We had a fabulous weekend! We used the bikes to ride up to the Virginia Beach Art Show on Friday. The home was the perfect size for our family as we prepared to attend wedding festivities both Friday and Saturday night. We actually walked to the wedding as it was only a few blocks away! We were also able to have extended family over for an impromptu brunch. Lots of room both inside and out for gathering. Highly recommend!

Our family lives in different parts of the country. Each August we select a place to stay that everyone can get to so that the multi-generational family (ages 6-50) can reconnect and make memories. This property was perfect for us. There was plenty of room on the first floor to gather for meals and play games. The outdoor area offered shaded and sunlit options for seating and convening. The bedrooms were spacious and comfortable. The detail that was slightly unusual, but not an issue at all, was that out of the four bedrooms, 3 had direct hallway access and the other could only be accessed by walking through another bedroom. Once again, not an issue for us!
The VIBE District was more than we expected! Short walk to the beach (perfect), quiet street, and just a street or two over there were plenty of coffee shops, restaurants, a farmer's market on Saturday, and quite a bit of night life. Something for everyone! I would definitely recommend this property!

We had a wonderful mini-vacation at Emerson’s Cottage. It is a great house in a convenient location.
The owners have lots of nice touches and amenities - modern appliances, Keurig coffee station, arcade and board games, lots of bikes, ceiling fans in all rooms, TVs in all rooms, etc.
The outdoor space is well appointed too with a sofa, chairs, and a dining table big enough for 8. The yard is set back from the street so it is safe for little ones to run around.
The communication with the owner was excellent.
I highly recommend a stay at EC!

This is a perfect home located in the Vibe District. It was within walking distance of several amazing restaurants and coffee shops. It was also a short walk to the beach and the Virginia Beach Sports Center where we spent the majority of the weekend. The house came with almost every amenity that you would need for a beach vacation including multiple decks to hang out on, a beautiful lawn to play games, bikesmto ride around town, and boardgames to play inside the hosue. The most popular hit of the weekend were the two old school video game machines that provided hours of fun for our boys throughout a rainy weekend. We would definitely stay at this house again the next time we have a small group in Virginia Beach

We truly enjoyed our stay in this lovely, clean, well equipped home. All the beach supplies & proximity to the water were terrific. We enjoyed the kitchen/living space, outdoor space, air conditioned patio. All 3 generations absolutely loved the arcade games & board games. The bikes were awesome! The electronic security locks were very convenient & the hosts were easy to work with.

We had an amazing time and the owners were spectacular. We fit 11
People comfortably. If there were any issues, there was an immediate response and was taken care of within an hour or so. So close to the beach (3 short blocks), chairs and bikes to use, beach toys. House was fully stocked!! We also had a gender reveal for our family there and the owners were so kind and sent us a congratulations basket!!! The house exceeded our expectations - thanks to the wonderful owners of Emerson’s Cottage!!

Beautiful home!
The owner Brandon was very responsive and welcoming. The house was very clean and I loved the reusable water bottles they provided for every bedroom, to cut back in single use plastic. The laundry and bikes were a great amenity and the outside space is so cool! Highly recommend this home to anyone!

The only thing wrong with our stay at the cottage was it wasn’t long enough! All 8 of us enjoyed it.
It was easy. I looked for this specific property and found the available dates.

The house was everything we were hoping for and more. We had just as much fun in the house playing Donkey Kong and all the other classics as we did out and about. Great seeing the teens take to the “retro” games of my childhood. Short walk to the beach was even easier with the bikes they allowed us to use. Brandon communicated very well and provided great recommendations. Fantastic trip!

Great place for some much needed R&R
Super clean, super nice house. The beach is like a 5min walk and there are a ton of great restaurants, bars, and stores. The owners were amazing with everything they did and were always right on time with responses. Just make sure you clean your dishes and put the linens in the bags and your stay will be great. Would recommend to anyone and would definitely stay again!!!

This was a wonderful home away from home. Beautifully decorated, clean home with additional amenities than the listed.
A short walk to the beach and beach equipment provided by the owner. Truly a wonderful experience.
Only complaint and it is a small one, we had to make our own beds. Really not an issue, just unexpected.

Annual Family Race Weekend
House exactly as described. We live in VA Beach and rent a house annually at the oceanfront for Shamrock weekend. This house has several things that are very, very hard to come by- ample private parking, outside lawn and leisure space and lots of extras (bikes, beach gear, etc). We had a great time!

This is a great place to stay. Brandon was great to work with and accommodated our requests without issue. We rented the house during January for friends and family from out of town. The first floor is open concept and gave us the opportunity to spend time together. There are two video games which were highly enjoyable - all the old school games.
The location is about 4 blocks from the beach and there were enough bikes there that everyone could ride to the boardwalk if the weather had been nicer. Brandon is a great host and hope be able to stay there in warmer weather next time.
