The property owner didn't start messaging me back until 2 weeks before check in, but after that it was good. The baseboards were disgusting, the bath mat in the bathroom was stained, there was visible patches for on the walls, and the beds were completely sunken in at the middle.

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...

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.

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!
