The cottage is really nice. However it is in need of repairs. Vents were filthy and the upkeep of the furniture, baseboards, bc bathroom caulking unpainted wall patches leaves a shoddy impression. The house had some issues with the kitchen not well cleaned. Owner offered to clean but he did not respond to our initial text until several hours later each time we communicated. We cleaned it to our standards. I sent 9 photos as he requested but it was left unanswered. It is very cozy and the beds are very comfortable. If it was all fixed, and up to the pictures posted, I would recommend this property as lovely.
Disgusting vent
Cigarette hole in couch. Couch smells like smoke
Typical corner in baseboards

The only thing I would say about the house is for the cleaners to pull things out and clean! Because there was water bottles behind dressers! And we didn’t have wash rags in one of the rooms no fault to the owners but the cleaners need to tighten up but over all besides Tht the house was amazing

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.

The property was wonderful, clean, and very comfortable for our family of four adults . Fully stocked kitchen. Also, the beach wagon, towels and umbrella made our visit to the beach much more comfortable. We stayed for five nights. Great location with easy access to the not crowded beach, Plenty of restaurants and attractions nearby and in a safe friendly neighborhood. Our host Richard was very responsive and accommodating to our needs. The check-in and check out process was very simple. We would definitely come back here again...

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!

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!
