Cottage by the sea

The house is as promised - in a charming neighborhood just a short walk from the beach. The host supplied everything for a comfortable beach retreat.

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.

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!

Quick trip to the beach

The house was the perfect size for us. We wanted to be near the beach on a budget and the worked great for us. The back yard was nice for shade and relaxing after a day at the beach. The property manager was easily available and helpful. The wagon full of beach chairs and umbrella was very helpful!

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!

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.

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.

“The Next Guest”

Fly infestation & Surveillance cameras. That’s what we remember from our stay. It’s unfortunate that some vacation rental owners are so eager to collect as much money from bookings, they’re not the least bit concerned about each renters experience. Our experience was greatly affected by the fact that the garbage was not taken to the curb. The can as well as the recycling was FULL!! When we arrived we inspected the place, sure it’s as described, but upon opening the back door to check out the backyard, the flys swarmed in. We went around the side only to be immediately greeted by the stench and FLYS Circling both cans that were only about 10 feet from the back door. We moved the cans to the front only to realize the excessive brush and branches were also a breeding ground for rodents. Needless to say we were fighting off & swatting flys all weekend. We contacted Richard only to be told the situation Would be remedied in time “for the next guest” The Next Guest ⁉️ We also contacted VRBO however flying in, having booked excursions, 4th of July weekend!! We really could not focus on the situation until after we invested about $50 of insect spray & left. Just the memory of removing Flys off our food, drinks, washing sippy cups because when I say SWARMED The house I mean SWARMED!! To top it all off. The locked closet that would be assumed is a linen closet next to the bathroom. Is LOCKED certainly because the little snake cam that’s spying under the door is disturbing.

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.

So So Stay

Unfortunately, I would not recommend this house. The place was not clean. Our socks were black. The bottom of the kid's feet turned black. The kitchen counter tops were sticky. Communication - The host responded quickly prior to check-in. However, when I messaged the host explaining that the house wasn't very clean and that the kitchen sink water drained to the outside of the house to the backyard causing a smell and bringing Flys there was no reply. A couple days later I informed him that the garbage disposal stopped working and that there were cockroaches in the house. Also, no reply. After our stay, I received a message from the host thanking me for being respectful of the house and asking for a 5 star review and in return he would reciprocate a 5 star review for me. In good conscience, I cannot do that. Towels - There were enough for 6 people, but the house sleeps 7, so my youngest kids shared the thin poor quality towels. Kitchen supplies - The pots and pans are bent and warped. Thankfully, we brought our own pots and pans. If we hadn't, we would not have been able to cook anything in this house. There were towels to dry the dishes but nothing to wash the dishes with so again thankfully we brought our own. Master bedroom - horrible bed. It's no longer a dip in the middle as previously reviewed. It's now a "V". There are no sheets for the futon bed. On the plus side, the house is a block and a half walking distance to the beach.

Could Be Better

We had a nice time at our beach house vacation. Some of our favorite features were the wagon, beach towels, beach chairs and an umbrella. The fenced in yard for our dog, was also great. Overall, the house was nice but there were several disappointing features. The back door is filthy. The back screen door wasn’t aligned properly and the screen is ripped at the bottom. The MB bed was extremely uncomfortable and dipped into the center. It is def time for that mattress to be replaced. The mattresses in the other rooms seemed to be fine. There was dusting hanging off of the fan in the MB. The soap holder in one of the bathrooms is chipping and there is a small hole on the wall where a toilet paper holder was once hung. Bath towels were provided, but their quality was poor. The biggest turn off for me was discovering several pieces of long hair in them. The kitchen towels were no better. Every single kitchen towel was badly stained and/or dirty. I didn’t feel like I was using clean towels. The kitchen provides the bare minimum you need to cook and eat, however if you are planning to pack food to go to the beach or are looking to store leftovers, you will need to bring your own containers and/or ziploc bags. We weren’t able to get the electric BBQ started so ended up using the charcoal one. We were disappointed that we couldn’t the fire pit bc there was no wood provided for it. With some improvements, this house could be a fantastic vacation home!

Hidden Gem in a Small Neighborhood

Other than my parents, the rest of our group have never been to Virginia before. We were actually scheduled to go to my brother’s wedding, but found it difficult to find a flight in the area of his wedding venue. After a bit of searching, we fully relied on faith to book a stay at the Bayview location. We’ve never booked with Vrbo before, so we were really nervous because there weren’t any reviews on the property; we were probably only the second people to book the location; the first people had visited a week or so prior to us. The host is SO nice! Not only is he nice, he is very considerate and thoughtful. He communicated regularly and answered any questions within minutes of me asking them. He put all of our minds to ease when I booked the location, advising that he had everything we may need on the trip and was considering adding even more. He even went as far as giving us a call to speak with us about his property and the different locations that we could visit in the area. When we finally arrived, it was a God send that it was so close to the airport. Our flight was already an evening flight, and it didn’t help that it was delayed by about 2 hours. But the nice thing was being able to get to the Bayview location within 20 mins of leaving the airport, to enter a clean, warm place that had everything we could’ve asked for and more. We were able to sleep everyone comfortably, the location was quiet, and even if there was a chance that we had forgotten something, there were backup items there (i.e. toiletries, laundry detergent, and towels). Everything was clean in the house, except for maybe the floors (they were a bit sandy), but we think it’s because not everyone takes their shoes off at the door like we do in our family. But, as I mentioned, everything was available as if it were a real home away from home, so it was an easy fix. I managed to vacuum, sweep, and mop in a short amount of time one day on the trip. The host had brand new games available for us to play, still in the boxes and shrink wrap. My 3-year old niece enjoyed playing Jenga, Operation, and Pie Face. The host also had a wagon stocked with towels, an umbrella, and three beach chairs that we were able to use to bring to the beach a block away. My dad, who has trouble walking long distances, was able to walk to the beach with my niece and sisters one day without a problem. Everything was great and we really want to stay again. We will book it again!

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!
