Welcome to this family‑friendly 3‑bedroom beach house tucked inside the ViBe Creative District on 16th Street in Virginia Beach. Just three blocks from the beach and boardwalk, the home sits in a quiet residential pocket of the South End—an area known for its charm, safety, and walkability. You'll be steps from local restaurants, coffee shops, the Sports Center, Atlantic Park and Dome Site, and the Convention Center, making this a lively and convenient place to stay. Linens, onsite parking, complimentary amenities, and free WiFi are all included. Vacation like a local and make it a trip to remember.
The cottage comes fully furnished and thoughtfully equipped for comfort. The spacious driveway and garage provide private parking, and inside you'll find free WiFi and cable. The first floor opens into a welcoming living room with a large flat‑screen TV, surround sound, and streaming capabilities. A full kitchen and dining area offer plenty of room to cook and gather. Two guest bedrooms are located on this level—one with a queen bed and another with a full‑and‑twin bunk setup. A doggie door off the kitchen leads to the fenced backyard, giving your four‑legged family member easy access to play and explore.
Out back, enjoy a private patio with seating for six and a gas grill (propane included) for outdoor dining. This area is fully enclosed for any four-legged family members tagging along for the stay!
Upstairs, the primary suite features a king bed with custom bedding, a spacious bathroom, and a cozy reading nook—perfect for remote working, unwinding, or enjoying a quiet moment.
We provide two towel sets per bedroom, along with a starter supply of toilet paper, trash bags, and paper towels. Guests are responsible for replenishing supplies as needed.

Beautiful property in great location! Nice back patio with grill access and outdoor table to gather around. Our family enjoyed our stay. Would definitely stay here again.
We loved this property and will definitely stay again if in the area! The check in process was very easy and location great - an easy walk to the beach. Loved the fenced in yard and patio!
Easy half mile walk to the beach. Great food and coffee just blocks away. The house was even more spacious than I imagined from the listing and was perfect for our family spring break.
It was a perfect house to walk to restaurants and the beach. The Vibe District is super cute and there are several great spots to eat. The house was spacious and very clean, worked great for our family.
Wife and I enjoyed are stay in Virginia Beach and the location of this property was awesome and close to everything. Very clean property with everything you could ever need. Highly recommend!
Very nice house with plenty of room and new everything. 5 blocks or 15 min flat walk to board walk. Seven Eleven just round the corner. Plenty of parking.
Location was great - loved that it was close enough to the bridge but away from the noise of the main strip.
The split level bedrooms are great for elders.
Roomy yet cozy. The backyard was perfect for our little pups. Walkable to a nice handful of restaurants and breweries.
Definitely recommend this place.
We were staying in VA Beach for my son’s wedding and this place was simply perfect. So well appointed, comfortable beds, kitchen had everything we needed, nothing to ask for. We missed the instructions for the internet and the host responded super promptly. Within walking distance to LOTS of restaurants. You won’t regret this stay.
I loved this property. Spacious, incredibly clean and just perfect for the 6 of us. About 15 minute walk to the beach. I would book this again in a heartbeat.
Property is as shown. Convenient location to restaurants and easy walk to the beach. A lot of pedestrian foot traffic in front of the house. Slightly dated interior with a mix of furnishings. Clean and easy to access.
The house was great! Very clean and comfortable. My husband and I (and our dog Max) had a wonderful vacation at the Vibe Beach Cottage. It’s in a great location with many restaurants nearby and very close to the beach. The area is very dog friendly and a great place to ride bikes. We just returned and I already want to plan a return trip!
The house and location were awesome. The amenities were sparse. Make sure to bring your own soaps, shampoos, and paper products. Only 1 small bath towel and 1 pillow per guest. No back ups available.
