Great spot to extend a trip...

We showed up and found a clean and cool spot to stay the night. The beach access is only a 5 minute walk to the bay. This was spectacular! We were also only 1 mile from Jessie's Taquaria which is thr Mexican food in Norfolk. Overall this property checked all our boxes.

Saying Goodbye

This was a great place! Clean I’m very comfortable location was great within walking distance to the beach. My son is in the Navy and it was very close to the base we had an opportunity to say goodbye and then we’re able to come back and relax.

Nice house.

The house was beautiful and had the comforts of home. The neighborhood was nice and quite. We were literally blocks from the bay beaches. It was only a short drive to the Virginia Beach boardwalk. There were plenty of stores and restaurants close by. Would stay again.

Awesome Dog Friendly Cottage

If your planning to stay in Norfolk and have pets look no further.The cottage was clean and well equipped and is a 5 minute walk to the beach.It has a great backyard totally fenced in so no chance of your dogs getting loose.The neighborhood was very quiet other than the awesome F-18 that flew over on Wednesday afternoon due to the military presence in Norfolk.We will definitely be back but stay longer next time!

Awesome Family Location

Great spot - close to beach, playgrounds, and amenities. Richard has provided a beach house full of thought for holiday makers. From games to hammock - our only regret was being so busy we didn't get a chance to truly relax and make the most of the house

Beautifully Renovated Home! 1 block from the Beach!!

This home and location were perfect! We came up from NC to send off our Navy man before he leaves us for 4 years! The home layout and backyard were just what we needed to fellowship and move all around the property! The home even came equipped with a game area so it made interacting while inside easy. It was clean and well furnished. We'll be back!

Cozy Bay Cottage

We had a great time! The property was as described. On a quiet street. Very clean and enough space for the 5 of us. The private fenced in yard was a nice space for cook outs and relaxing. The beach access was a short walk and never crowded. We were close enough to enjoy several of the local attractions, the Botanical Gardens, the Chrysler art museum, the Aquarium and boat tours. The kids enjoyed checking out the disc golf courses, local coffee shops and boutique shops. I would highly recommend if you are looking for a fun family trip!

Amenities were lacking

The property is just as pictured. Only received one bath towel, one hand towel and two washcloths per person so I had to do laundry while on vacation. Most of kitchen equipment was broken or incomplete so we couldn’t cook like we expecting. There are great local restaurants. There was no all purpose cleaner provided or any paper products. The neighborhood is quiet. Easy walk to beach which was also pretty quiet.

Nice place, but cleaning needs more tending to...

This was a nice place for our family vacation. The owner was very easy to contact and responded in a timely manner. My only complaint was the cleanliness of the cottage. When we first arrived, the bathrooms didn't seem like they had been cleaned. I found hair in one of the showers and on the edge of one of the fur bathroom rugs. If it was sanitized, I couldn't smell that any cleaning products had been used. One of the trash cans located at the side door hadn't been emptied. Too many flies were around it which was a bit of a nuisance. Again, nice place, but the cleaning staff could have done a better job.

Not well appointed

This property was attractive at first impression but the devil is in the details. The beds in all three bedrooms were very uncomfortable. The bed linens were akin to Walmart blue light specials. The pillows were also limp but the towels were the worst; they were very thin, small and dingy white. They looked like someone had washed their car with them. The stove and kitchen countertops were greasy but the rest of the house was clean. The bathrooms need towel racks and hooks to hang towels and robes. The pups loved the backyard. The sunset was gorgeous and we loved the mockingbird that sung in the tree every morning. The neighborhood was quiet. This place could be great with some simple and hospitable upgrades.

Disliked: Communication
Overall a pretty good stay. Fairly clean. Dining table was great for cards and games. Yard was great for catch (except i stepped in dog poop). Location close to quiet beach. Loved that. Neighborhood quiet. Good for taking walks. Kitchen equipped with cooking needs. Icemaker was a bonus. Negatives/cons - Master bed mattress was HORRIBLE; sunk to middle of bed. Poop in yard. Host didnt return 3 requests to measure doorway to bathroom for my wheelchair bound wife. She was unable to get in bathroom. We had to take door off! Very disappointed. I told him how important it was to get those measurements but we made it work. Driveway holds 1 car not 2. Gas grill had 2 empty tanks so we couldn't grill out the burgers we bought. There's a lot of "LACK OF ATTENTION TO DETAIL" in this property in preparation for guests but we still enjoyed our time as our reunion of friends kept eachother positive and laughing.

Loved fenced back yard

This property was as described. Pros: Property allowed us to bring our fur baby. The kitchen had all necessary items. Washer and dryer was nice as were the games, cart, beach umbrella. Loved fenced backyard for our fur baby, with grill, hammock, chairs and fire pit. The three bedrooms plus recreation room were also a plus. We also liked the location. Cons: The place was not cleaned well. Crumbs on dining room table and dust and other debris throughout the cottage. The outlet behind the loveseat apparently didn’t work. There were plastic bottles left behind loveseat (water and Powerade) as well as a few checkers. The stove top was smeared and could use a thorough cleaning. Underneath the kitchen sink smelled. The hall toilet seemed to be running constantly. Coffee container was essentially empty and laundry detergent had only a corner in it. There were no dryer sheets. I’m including the information about the coffee, detergent and dryer sheets because your description stated they were available. Overall, we really liked the cottage and enjoyed our stay. Richard was readily available and check in was a breeze. We would love to return and take advantage of this nice property at some point in the near future. Thanks for allowing us to spend time at your cozy cottage.
