Norfolk Beach Cottage Rental

Welcome to our charming cottage right across the street from the beach! This beautiful home offers 3 bedrooms and 1 full bath. Downstairs bedrooms include a queen and full bed. There is a very narrow spiral staircase leading to the second floor where there are 4 twin beds and a gaming area for your children to enjoy. We provide all linens and 8 beach towels and 8 bath towels.

We are pet friendly for a pet fee of $100. Please confirm when booking so that we can approve your pet. There is a park in walking distance for your children and pets as well as the beach directly across the street. Our front yard is fenced in but it does not have a gate on it. We do get beach burs in the grassy areas sometimes during the year. We try and eliminate them but they are common at the beach.

You will feel right at home in our kitchen and bathroom with all appliances including dishwasher, coffee maker, pots/pans and dishware.

We have on-site parking for up to 5 vehicles, and a tranquil shaded back yard complete with a grill and picnic table all across the street from the beautiful Chesapeake Bay and beach.

If you are military or are interested in long term rentals during the winter, please let us know at 757-639-4855 and we can discuss potential arrangements.

Whether you enjoy crabbing, fishing, skim boarding, swimming in the Spring and Summer or walking through the historic district of downtown Norfolk in the Fall and coming back and cuddling up by the fire place, it's all here year round. What a wonderful place to just relax, shop or to find great adventure.

Here you will experience the most beautiful sunrises and sunsets with miles of safe beaches to stroll and play. You are certain to enjoy yourself in East Ocean View. Bring plenty of suntan lotion, and be sure to bring your boat, if you have one. Our local boat ramp and marina are just blocks away. Come and make memories that will last a lifetime! We look forward to seeing you

Whether you start your morning with your toes in the sand watching the sunrise with a cup of coffee or fishing off the beach, it is the perfect way to start the day.

Beach towels and 2 chairs available

Located on the beautiful Chesapeake Bay in Norfolk, Virginia 23518

- Washer & Dryer

- As a courtesy to our guests, we provide 1 Roll of paper towels, 1 roll of toilet paper, 1 trash bag, small bottle of dawn and 1 dishwasher tab. These will help you get started when you first arrive but you will need to bring additional supplies depending on the time you are renting including laundry detergent and toiletries.

- Fully equipped kitchen with stainless steel pots and pans, dish ware, glasses, and silverware to accommodate 8 guests

- Central heating and cooling system

-The hardwood flooring downstairs is original from the 50's. We had them sealed in 2022 but even after cleaning sand gets into the crevices. We do our best to clean the floor but it tends to still have sand from all the beach traffic on it even after cleaning. We mention this to be completely transparent so that if this would bother you then another beach home without original hardwood floors would be better for you. We don't want anyone unhappy and want to make sure we identify and communicate everything both positive and negative about our cottage.

-If you want a completely bug free experience for your vacation then a beach house is probably not the place to vacation. We employ a pest control company that comes several times per quarter and sprays outside and inside of home. Unfortunately bugs still get into our cottage and no matter how many times we have it sprayed some still come in between the treatments. We hate all bugs but cannot guarantee a bug free stay living at the beach. We would rather you choose a location that will guarantee no pests than to come to our cottage and be unhappy because of finding any types of pests as we can't treat any more frequently than we already do. Most of the time we don't have any but still on occasion they come back. We do not offer refunds because of pests.

During the winter months from December to March we do offer long term rentals. If you are interested to rent during any times in these months please contract us at 757-639-4855 on rates.

Great Beach Stay

Overall, our stay was wonderful! The house and walk to the beach were perfect for the 3 adults and 2 small kids. The neighborhood was fine and there was plenty of grocery stores or restaurants to choose from. VA Beach was only 25-30 minutes away so we could enjoy the shops and attractions there as well. However, I was MOST impressed with the communication with the owners! SO very responsive and available to us before and during our stay. SO welcoming and appreciative. Thanks for letting us stay - great experience!

We enjoyed our time in Norfolk! The cottage was a short walk to the beach where we spent most of our time. The cottage was equipped with everything we needed for our stay. The hosts were available to answer any questions we had. The upstairs area was a great place for our 3 children to spend some time relaxing.

4th of July Family Vacation

We have stayed at this same location four out of the past five years and have a great vacation every time! The location is great, a couple of minutes walk to the beach, cool loft area for the kids to hang out, extra bedroom for the mother-in-law and full kitchen. The owners have great communication and are very helpful. We would definitely recommend this location!

Good rental as a ‘landing place’

My family enjoyed our stay in this home. There was space enough for everyone but yes, one bathroom. The laundry was appreciated. The kitchen was adequate and we didn’t have problems with electricity or WiFi. Thank-you!It is an older home, refurbished to be a rental. The backyard really is just for parking only, as the neighbors are quite messy and the tree drops a lot of debris.The location is not beachfront but is easily walkable, crossing the busy street at the corner, less than 5 minutes. There are a few little eateries but no nice dining restaurants, so we viewed this rental as our ‘landing place’ for the beach access and then would drive closer to town for restaurants and groceries.

Great weekend get away

To honor my elderly mothers request to go to the beach for a weekend, I looked for a small house that wasn't too expensive and where everything was on one floor. The cottage met our requirements. The cottage was clean, had ample towels, and the beds were comfortable. The check-in and out was very easy. The owners were very kind and pleasant to work with. We had a wonderful visit.

If you’re reading this, I would recommend staying somewhere else. On the plus side you’re close to the beach and they’re pet friendly. On the downside, the house was dirty when we got there. Exploded beer was left in the freezer so there was beer all over the ice and walls inside. The floors were dirty and gritty and there was a pink film in the shower. The Wi-Fi needed to be reset over a dozen times. Finally the cable company came out and said that the router was bad, so hopefully that has been fixed. You can’t sit outside due to mosquitoes and traffic noise. The day before the last day of our trip our mother in law saw a mouse in her bedroom. When we told the owner about the issues she was very apologetic, but her solution was to refund 5% of a 2000 stay. The place is very old and is in need of updating. We are easy going couple but when you spend as much as we did the basics like a clean place to stay and working Wi-Fi should be the minimum.

My Norfolk Cottage Getaway

I rented this cottage for a long weekend in Norfolk to visit with my family, who live down in that area. It was a great weekend. The house was really nice, Clean and comfortable, although outside left a little to be desired. The back was full of leaf droppings from the many trees, but once we swept it up, it was better. The location was wonderful! It is close to a park and only a couple minutes walk to the beach. Check-in could not have been any easier. And the owners were very friendly and extremely responsive to any question I had. I would definitely rent again.

Everything was good but

Everything was great for the 3days we spent, the beach was great! and the kids loved it. The house was very clean but could use plug inns just for that lovely scent. The only problem with my stay was that I could not watch tv for 3 days that was disappointing I even followed all the steps to get it working but could not, after about 3 hours trying to get it to work properly I gave up and try to reach the owner and got no response on how to get it working . But my stay was awesome and the host was very polite.

Old House

Our stay was fine. The road is busy and there's a lot of road noise. The house is old and walls and windows don't conceal much sound. Many outlets are just two prong. The thermostat was set by default to 62, even though we changed it upon arrival, so we woke up freezing in the night. The glass table in the living room is a huge hazard as it regularly moves off the legs. The single trash bag provided was cheap and ripped instantly. We would have loved a cozy throw blanket and a plug for the tub so my kids could take a bath. Many pillows were old and lacked protectors. The beach and park were lovely and the reason we chose the house. The location was perfect in that regard, but we didn't feel safe letting our kids play outside alone. The updated kitchen was nice and we appreciated the cable TV and the towels offered. My kids enjoyed the extra little toys in their room. The host was kind and check in and out were both easy. Ultimately, it was fine and nice to have a place so close to the beach and park, but I wouldn't recommend the house.

Cozy Cottage, But Burrrrrrs Everywhere

We planned a stay in the cottage for two nights with a toddler and our dog, but ended up only staying for one because of the painful burs in the front yard that stuck everywhere. The cottage itself was lovely and very well-maintained, and the weekend farmers market was right next door and amazing! The owners were very accommodating, as we had to switch dates due to illness. Overall, I wish we had known to prepare for the burs that were all over the front lawn, as we struggled to take our dog out without him being frightened and in pain.

Good Fit!

We needed a place to stay in the area to care for our daughter who is a student at a VA Beach / Norfolk area university and had ACL surgery. The cottage was a good fit and as advertised. The kitchen was adequately equipped and living room and lower level bedrooms convenient. The cottage was nice inside, clean and comfortable. The host was responsive and no problems accessing the cottage. We did travel with pets and the adjacent park was great for walks. Thanks for being pet friendly! We didn’t need it but access to the beach was an easy short walk. The cottage is on a main road so traffic was heavier than expected.
