Cozy Private Cottage, Wifi, Pet Friendly & Perfect for Extended Stays!
Whether you're visiting for a weekend getaway, traveling for work, relocating to the area, or looking for a comfortable place to settle in for an extended stay, our cottage is designed to feel like your home away from home. And because we're pet friendly, your four-legged family member can come along too!
THE SPACE
The cottage has a cozy, relaxed atmosphere with comfortable furnishings and plenty of space to unwind after a long day.
The living room features a large, comfortable sofa and a 58" Smart TV—perfect for relaxing with a movie or catching up on your favorite shows.
The home includes two sleeping areas:
UPSTAIRS KING LOFT
The primary sleeping area is located upstairs and features a comfortable king-size bed and a 42" Smart TV.
Please note that this bedroom is loft-style. It is positioned upstairs and cannot be seen from the main living area below; however, there is no traditional bedroom door at the top of the stairs. We like to make this clear in advance so guests know exactly what to expect when booking.
DOWNSTAIRS BEDROOM
The downstairs bedroom is a smaller, cozy room featuring a twin-over-full bunk bed and its own 42" Smart TV. It's a great option for children, additional family members, or guests who prefer a ground floor bedroom.
PRIVATE & PEACEFUL SETTING
The cottage sits toward the rear of the lot, providing a more tucked-away and private feel and offers off-the-street parking.
Outside, you'll have access to a large yard with plenty of room to enjoy some fresh air—and your pup will appreciate the extra outdoor space too!
PET FRIENDLY
We know pets are part of the family, which is why our cottage welcomes approved pets. If you're traveling with a pet, please be sure to include them on your reservation so we can properly prepare for your stay.
STREAM & RELAX
There's no fighting over the TV here! Both sleeping areas have 42" Smart TVs, and the living room features a large 58" Smart TV, giving everyone a place to relax and stream their favorite entertainment.
CONVENIENT LOCATION
The cottage offers a convenient central location for exploring Portsmouth and the surrounding Hampton Roads area, including Norfolk, Chesapeake, Suffolk and Virginia Beach.
It's also a comfortable option for traveling professionals, military families, temporary housing needs, relocation stays, insurance stays, and guests who simply need accommodations for the weekend, a few weeks or longer.
EXTENDED STAYS WELCOME
Need more than just a weekend?
We especially welcome longer stays. The privacy, comfortable living space, outdoor area, multiple Smart TVs and residential setting make the cottage an excellent alternative to spending weeks in a hotel.
Whether you're between homes, relocating, completing a work assignment, visiting family, or simply need a temporary home base, we'd love to host you.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

We really enjoyed our stay! The house was cozy and the perfect size for the three of us. While we didn't do any cooking, the kitchen appeared to have everything you would need. The shower had great hot water, which was nice after a long day. The neighborhood was quiet and peaceful, and there were several good restaurants nearby, making it easy to grab a meal. We'd definitely stay here again!
This stay was smooth from start to finish. Our host Erin was very accommodating- I kept changing the dates of our stay and she didn’t flinch, made all of our changes, without a problem.The cottage was perfect for our 8 day stay with our dog.- a nice neighborhood to walk him in and even a doggie nook.
We did not stay. Cockroaches began to move when the heat was turned on. We chose to drive home instead.

Response from VrboOwner on 18 Mar 2026
We were surprised to read this review. To our knowledge, the guest stayed the full one-night reservation and did not report any concerns about pests or heating during their stay or at checkout, We received a message from the guest on the morning of checkout advising us that they had in fact checked out, with no mention of any dissatifaction. So we were not given the opportunity to address any alledged issues or any concerns.
We perform documented routine preventative pest treatments and had serviced the home shortly before this stay. We work hard to and take pride in providing a positive guest experience. Our property is thoroughly cleaned and maintained, and we have a consistent history of positive guest experiences across various booking platforms.
We encourage all guests to contact us during their stay if anything needs attention so we can resolve it right away.
It was a nice little place to cool off in the evenings after spending the day at the beach. We were within 30-40 minutes of a ton of fun family activities in different cities.
One star—do not book. Unsafe and misrepresented. We walked in, took one look and left immediately. The host still refused to refundThe listing photos are misleading. This is not a stand alone property. It is a small backyard cottage on a shared lot, not what was advertised. The neighborhood also felt unsafe. The unit itself was in poor condition. There was a strong smell of cigarettes and weed throughout the home. The bedroom air conditioner was loud and barely functional and could not cool the room at all. There were large spiders in the bedroom. The top of the stairs has no railing and it is a real fall hazard. One of us nearly went down. We asked for a refund on the spot given the safety issues and the inaccurate listing and were refused. I would not recommend this property to anyone especially families or anyone with mobility or safety concerns.
I had to come to the area for work. My husband came a long with me along with our dog. It was a perfect home. Just the right amount of space, clean, little backyard for our pup, etc… it felt very private, etc. I’d recommend… 😊
It was lovely cottage, great space. Very clean, we enjoyed our stay. Host is very kind and attentive to any questions I had. Home is near fast food, grocery store, shopping, and attractions. Virginia Beach was like 30 minutes away. I highly recommend this place. I’ll for sure be looking up this place anytime I visit Virginia again.
The cottage was set back and perfectsizefor me and my 2 children. Within 30-40 minutes of the zoo, aquarium, NASA visitors center, and VA beach. Grocery stores super close too. The house was very clean and each floor had its own ac. Would recommend for a small family of 3 or 4 although it can sleep more,
This cottage was so cute and cozy with all essentials included. Erin was super nice and communicative leading up to the trip and answered any questions I had. She even reached out before check-in time to let me know the place was clean so I may check in earlier if needed. It was a nice quiet area that was close to the city. If I ever have to rent again in that area I'll definitely try to come back here again!
This little cottage was exactly what we needed when we arrived in the area after a cross country move. It was private, clean, central to our needs and pet friendly. Loved the doggy bed under the stairs. The host was very accommodating with my multiple requests to extend our stay. 5 stars doesn't even cover it.
