About this property

Bright & Updated 3 BR House by the Boardwalk - Parking, Enclosed Backyard, Dedicated Workspace, WiFi

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.

This vacation rental is ideally located in the ViBe Creative District near the historic Old Beach neighborhood. You'll be within walking distance of top restaurants, nightlife, live entertainment, and the Virginia Museum of Contemporary Art. The Sports Center and Convention Center are just minutes away. The area also offers easy access to farmers markets, golf courses, mini golf, water sports, water parks, the Aquarium, the Atlantic Wave Park, Dome Entertainment Venue, and more.

Lovely 3 bedroom home close to the beach

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.

Perfect and exactly as described

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.
