Spotless unit with all the amenities that anyone would need. I enjoyed the location, which is quiet and close to the beach. Host has a well thought out stock of what is needed, with even a "forgot to bring" kit in the bathroom. Host was timely with responses to questions and I'll stay again if I'm in the area.
The host, Ritamarie, is/was very accommodating. Her place is immaculate. Perfect place for two looking to enjoy a weekend, a week, or even a couple of weeks at the northern end of VA Beach.
Nice kitchen with everything a person should need! Cozy place in a quiet neighborhood very close to the beach. Will keep it on the list of places to stay!
The rental was impressively clean. The host is super nice and has the rental well stocked with everything needed. It is located in a more quiet community with a short, scenic walk to the beach. We enjoyed our stay.
Appreciative of the Brita water pitcher. It was a very nice and quiet.

Hi Amanda.
Thank you for rating your stay.
As a Superhost, I strive to get 5 star ratings. Could you make suggestions on things I might improve upon to earn a 5 star rating from you?
Thank you.

This property is very cute and clean. Easy access to the beach. The one and only issue we had was that you can hear the neighbors in the attached home. They seem to have irregular working hours so we could hear them throughout the night and the smells coming from their kitchen. Otherwise, they never bothered us.
Great neighborhood. A block from the beach and very close to areas we were visiting. Small space on 2nd floor but cozy and comfortable. Heat and AC both worked fine (we had a couple of very chilly days).
Cottage is a wonderful place for a couples getaway vacation. We thoroughly enjoyed the quiet neighborhood and short walk to a less populated part of the beach. We would stay again.
I cannot emphasize enough how perfect this property is. It is ideal for two people and it is exactly what the pictures show - even better. The check-in process was seamless, walking into the cutest apartment was amazing and the host thinks of the little things, which makes the stay feel even more like you are home. We had an instance where I was overcharged (on VRBO side) and the host contacted me about giving back the money; that showed immense integrity and humanity. I would not have known and she made sure to make it right. I also loved the proximity to the beach - it really is steps from the front door. The neighborhood is lovely - a peaceful enclave from the main oceanfront, yet close enough to go enjoy everything. I highly recommend the Shiplap Cottage - it made for a perfect time in Virginia Beach.
Everything was wonderful! Everything was clean & neat. Extremely cozy & adorable! I loved it so much, I will definitely be staying again. Thank you for a wonderful stay!!

We liked this property. It was so close to the beach, very clean, quiet and comfortable for a relaxing time.
We had a wonderful stay. The apartment was cozy for two people and having a full kitchen made it so convenient. Location near the ocean for walks was just what we needed.
Absolutely loved our stay at Shiplap Cottage! The home was spotlessly clean, beautifully decorated, and had everything we needed for a comfortable getaway. Ritamarie was a fantastic host—her communication was thoughtful, clear, and incredibly helpful. The short walk to the beach was a perfect bonus. Highly recommend!
What a great location! Beautiful little cottage for two! Only a block from a beautiful, quiet beach! Also, an excellent host! Highly recommend for your stay in the North End of Virginia Beach!
Ritamarie provided a charming and comfortable property optimally located for beach access. Coordination and communication was clear. Thanks for a great stay!
