Wonderful stay, it just went too fast. A couple of suggestions: I did not see an ironing board or iron, also, not enough toilet paper for 5 people. You have a wonderful place. Thank you for sharing it with us!

Great mother & daughter trip
My mom and I decided to book a spur of the moment beach trip. We kept coming back to this house. It was a great stay, close to the beach, and the house was so clean. Highly suggest eating at Swell Bar and Grill while there which is only 3 minute drive - fresh seafood and friendly service. Kim and Jeanie, the hosts, were super communicative. Check in and check out was a breeze. Thank you for opening up your home! Truly a gem of a stay.

Great Views with Odd Setup
The views from the porches and access to beach were great! However, the set up of the house was very odd and difficult for my older mother, The master bath is on the first floor with no bedroom. While the listing says the bedrooms are upstairs it’s not super clear that the master bath is downstairs alone. The upstairs bath with the shower is a shower in a claw foot tub so way too hard for an older person. You also have to go through the master bath to get to the outside porch from the back of the house or you have to go up to the front doors otherwise. The master bathroom also smells like someone did some heavy smoking in the past just in that room? Overall the house was clean but just difficult to navigate.

Relaxing perfection with access to so much fun!
We were blessed to stay for a week and that still didn’t feel like long enough! The views. Let me just start with that. I woke up every morning to the sunrise over the water. The decks are wonderful. Being able to see the view from even the main floor and deck is a plus! The home had all of our needs, and the grocery store a few blocks away had the rest. Beyond our needs, we had extras at our disposal, like beach towels, beach chairs, a sun canopy, paddle boards, boogie boards, single kayaks and a double kayak!!!!! Also, any question or issue we had was immediately addressed by the owner! Communication was excellent.

Jeanie and Kim's house was wonderful. All we needed to do was get groceries from the store and we were set for our short spring break trip - everything else was provided! Direct access to the beach, plenty of outdoor space to enjoy the view, ample area in the house to be together or for alone time.

Perfect Ocean View Waterfront Home
My family had a wonderful stay at Jeanie's waterfront home. The house was really lovely, very comfortable and spacious, and was well stocked for all of our needs. The beach was perfect and we loved how close it was to the fishing pier which we ended up walking to along the beach daily! I would definitely stay here again!

Beach getaway
The house is very large. Nicely furnished and decorated. We had thanksgiving diner there with 7 gilts and 4 children and the dining room was more than adequate. Nicely appointed kitchen where we prepared the meal. The beach is a very short walk. We would definitely like to come back again maybe in the warmer months. The owners always responded to emails or Vrbo messages promptly

Early thanksgivings
It was a good stay. The weather turned windy and cold but we manage to go sightseeing. We did get to the beach for our grandson to play in the sand. My biggest complain is the small rugs on the stairs were not attached real good which was a tripping hazard. The master bed was so high and solf that i had at hard time getting in it and im 5 ft 7.5 inches tall. The bed was really to solf for me.

Ocean View 2023
This property is beautifully located on the bay with easy access to the beach. We enjoyed watching dolphins, paddle boarding, fishing, swimming, sunbathing and playing games on the beach. The house has a very well equipped kitchen, flat screen TVs in every bedroom, decks with tables and chairs at three locations as well as a nice gas grill. The property owners also have a well equipped gear room providing guests with everything from chairs to fishing nets, a canopy, sand castle tools and a wagon to transport everything to the beach. Convenience stores and the Ocean View Pier are within walking distance. We watched Naval and cargo ships move in and out of the bay daily. Everyone enjoyed our time there and hope to return again in the future.

Beatiful home, great location,
We stayed 7 nights end of July 2023, this is our 5th year coming to Norfolk VA, and this has been the best overall rental we rented. The beach was mostly private, the house was plenty roomy for all of us. Huge deck, outside shower to clean off after the beach, AC works great, beds were super compfy, and had everyhting and then some for our stay. We also loved being so close to the fishing pier, the kids loved fishing. Thank you so much for helping us make the most out of our stay.

Perfect for families!
We had a wonderful week at this lovely property! Our family of 6 was comfortable in the beach house, and my father enjoyed his own space in the cottage. The view was just amazing, and we usually had the beach to ourselves. The house was stocked with everything we needed...even birthday candles! We took advantage of the kayaks and paddle boards, and appreciated all the other beach supplies made available to us. There is so much to do in the area...and this really is a convenient spot. We went to Virginia Beach on several occasions, downtown Norfolk, and Williamsburg...all relatively short drives away. I would highly recommend this truly great rental!
