This is my second-year renting with this host and myself, and other guests were very pleased with home and host C.Owens attention to our satisfaction. She was very attentive to all our needs and inquiries about activities, places of interest and good restaurants. The neighborhood is quiet and very friendly neighbors. We loved sitting on the porch enjoying the breeze in the evenings! This is a great place to stay and we will return next year.

Comfortable, cozy. Central location.

The home was clean, comfortable, and cozy. The location was a relaxing bike ride away from the main beach. Located in a centralized area for main attractions- VA Beach, Sandbridge, Norfolk. Owner was very helpful answering my questions leading up to and during our stay. Everyone in our group loved the home and enjoyed our time their during our stay.

Great place!!!

We have always stayed in the smaller house, which is a great house, but the owner recommended we stay in the larger one this summer. We have 2 moms each with a son and daughter. The kids loved this house. It was a great stay as always.

Wow…. We were not made aware of any of these issues! We reached out to this guest to no avail … the only thing that we heard we that they were familiar with the use of the t v… This house has guest in and out each week and this is the first complaint this house is constantly exterminated so they must have bought pest in with them. We keep a full supply of cleaning products on top of the fridge out of reach of children so this claim has no merit whatsoever!

Spacious House! Close to the beach

I stayed here with my family and a few friends for a beach festival. The house is very spacious and had everything we needed. The house was also very clean and the host was responvie all weekend. An uber to VA beach was about a 5 min ride and the walk was about 25 min. Great location!

Everything we needed

We were stationed in Norfork before and were looking for a location close enough to the beaches (VA Beach and Dam Neck military beach) but not in the hustle and bustle of VA Beach summer traffic. This was the perfect place, very cute, clean, and plenty of sleeping accommodations for the family. We were also close to Ocean Breeze water park, which we also wanted. Nice place to come back to after a day in the sun.

Great for what we needed

We had a dance competition for the week so we needed a place to cook meals and sleep at night since we would be gone pretty much all day every day. Check in was really easy and I received a text asking if I had any problems getting in. The only thing I can say though is the same pretty much anywhere you stay, is to bring your own pillow because it's much more comfortable to sleep on one you are used to. But we had a great time and would definitely come back.

Lovely Well-decorated House with Lots of Sleeping Space

This house was lovely. It’s has great layout for a group with a kitchen that opens into common space and lots of bedrooms. I particularly liked some of the furniture choices (really cool glass bathroom sink and some funky tiny desks.) There were quite a few bonus sleeping-spaces (convertible sofas) and blanket/linens to go with them. The only drawbacks were that the host was a little slow to respond to my first email (about the address, which wasn’t posted with the listing). But after I sent a second, Chris was very responsive, helpful, and flexible. The house is also a ways from the beach (30 minute walk) but there is a nice walk/bike trail to follow. And Lyfts are readily available. (was about $7 one-way) I would stay again. Thanks Chris!

The property suited our needs. We had 6 adults and 3 children. It sleeps 9. Unfortunately some supplies weren't for 9 people. Host rectified that quickly.The only thing we didn't like was all 6 seating were tall breakfast bar type. The picture showed a small table with 3 reg. level seats. Being short and 70 years old. I could reach those chairs so ate my meals at the coffee table. Also not really enough dining seating for 9.But it was great to be so close to the beach.Tge front porch was great too

Close to the beach

The proximity to the beach was great. The owner communicated very well with me. The check in and our was extremely simple. However, the furniture is old and extremely uncomfortable. The couch and love seat are covered with old covers that don't stay on the furniture. The beds are old spring mattresses that are quite uncomfortable as well. The house needs a good deep cleaning as the ceiling fans as well as behind and under the furniture are extremely dusty. I think with a good cleaning and some furniture upgrades the house would be an awesome rental. Also, the water pressure in the upstairs bathroom is almost nonexistent, which made it difficult to even shower.

About the host

Hosted by C. Owens

Host profile image
As a licensed real estate agent, I love everything to do with homes. My family built this home in 2012 to be as close to the beach as we absolutely love being close to the water. We especially love cycling, fishing, the great outdoors, outdoor concerts and the like. Come share our '"close" to the beach cottage and explore Virginia Beach for yourself.

Why they chose this property

This parcel of land has been in our family for generations. We finally had the opportunity to build here in 2011-2012. Ground was broken for this cottage in October 2011.
We decided to build in 2012 in order to get exactly what we wanted and this is the perfect fit for us.
The name Hughes-Mitchell is our mother's surname. We have another street in the neighborhood named 'Hughes'. So as you can see this land and area is strong and rich with our family heritage and history.

What makes this property unique

Access to all of the beach activities and just a short bike ride away. There are several bike rental establishments in this area. Bike riding is a very popular way to get around at the Oceanfront. Traffic is often busy and finding parking can be hectic as well as expensive. This home is a vacation place, but located in the midst of a residential area, thus offering ultimate privacy and relaxation. This home can not be used as a party house! Large porch and outside deck with sitting area.
There is a recreation center within a short walk away that has an indoor pool and fitness center for use at a minimal fee.

There is no pool on site.
