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.

Amazing place
This was the second time I've stayed at this property. The owners are very friendly and open with communication. The check in process was very easy and there is a binder with locations of nearby restaurants as well as hospitals in case of emergency. The home is absolutely beautiful and spacious located right across the street from the beach and a park down the block. Would definitely recommend if you're looking for a beach vacation

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.

Small but Cozy :)
I stayed here with a couple friends for my birthday party, and we all loved this place!! It was not as small as they warned us to be, and I would say it’s the perfect place to have a party with a few friends. I would 100% stay and have a party here again :) I have to thank the owner’s for fast and efficient communication as well! This weekend couldn’t have gone any better. If you are thinking of booking here, I absolutely recommend it!

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.

Needs maintenance
The cockroach problem could easily be dealt with by using a professional exterminator instead of the dollar general roach motel behind the toilet. 3/4 of the upstairs bed mattresses are so thin that you can feel the frame or springs or something through them. The main bedroom box spring kept falling off of the undersized bed frame and had to be repeatedly balanced precariously within a quarter of an inch on it. There’s a garden hose by the back door near the sign that tells you to wash your feet. Don’t try that one because it doesn’t work. Dig through the pile of leaves off to the side near the picnic table to find the one with the cracked nozzle. That one will make sure rhat your whole body gets the sand sprayed off while you’re just trying to rinse your feet. The kitchen is really nice but otherwise it’s a lot like camping just with air conditioning.

We enjoyed our stay
Short walk to the beach, 3 minutes tops, when traffic is heavy, less on weekdays. The shower pressure was top notch, bathroom was very clean. The back could use some cleaning up and the entrance was a little off-putting, but once you open the door to the living space, it is clean. Most of the beach chairs were too rusty to use, thankfully we brought our own. We really enjoyed our 4 night stay, and it was nice that we could bring my mother and her dog. Shopping in the area was convenient because everything is nearby. We enjoyed our stay, and it was very affordable.
