The perfect quaint beach house in Ocean View. Me and my family, including our dog, had a wonderful stay that was peaceful. The beach wasn't crowded which was a bonus for us. The fishing pier next to the property allowed for the pleasure to watch the beautiful sunsets. While the fishing pier was open 24/7 during our stay, it was quiet and no riff raff. The host made sure to leave detailed notes about the property, things to do locally, and checkout instructions which weren't a mile long, which I've experienced in the past at other vacation rentals elsewhere in other states.

The home was right on the beach as described, which is where I really wanted to stay. The home has great potential to be a wonderful place however the extremely weak flooring was terrifying to walk on, use the shower on and use the commode. My fiancée is a big man who is disabled and he was afraid he was going to fall through the floor.

Quiet Retreat

I thought the location was very convenient. You are on the beach and a 20 minute drive to downtown Norfolk. Parking can be tricky on the weekends because the parking lot is tight. I would recommend taking a smaller vehicle, like a 4-door sedan (Toyota Corolla).

Beach access is wonderful

If you are looking for a place right on the beach, this is it. The house was clean, furnishings are older but you are on the beach. You are right next to a public fishing pier. Pier is busy as is the parking lot, so not a quiet place to stay. If noise doesn’t bother you, you will enjoy this beach house.

About the host

Hosted by George

Host profile image
I began refurbishing the historic homes of Ocean View into nightly rentals in 2017 while studying mechanical engineering at ODU. I was at first unenthused with the vacation rental prospect, until I received my first thank you note and glowing review. The sense of reward in knowing that Louis and his family from Germany had the vacation of a lifetime in the apartment I provided was overwhelming. It quickly became a full-time enterprise, and I now take pride in bringing this historic beach community back to life with updated vacation rentals. My other business pursuits include automotive restoration, luxury car rentals, and tactical sporting goods supply. When I'm not working, I enjoy fishing and exploring with my 6 year old daughter.

Why they chose this property

The BEST LOCATION in the city, you couldn't pick a better vacation spot on the bay. Directly on the beach, on the best part of the beach (never too crowded like other beaches in VA), walking distance to upscale rooftop dining, bar and grill, and the longest fishing pier in North America, walking distance to convenience stores, close driving distance to all sorts of activities.

What makes this property unique

The best location available, historic vibes with modern convenience, and the beach is literally in your backyard.
