About this property

Right on the Beach with no streets to cross: a North End Hidden Gem Family Home!

This classic Tidewater Virginia beach house located in the exclusive residential area known as North End Virginia Beach, is the ideal spot for your beach vacation. The same family has owned this wonderful two-story oceanfront house and the adjacent oceanfront lot since 1958. Since then, the home has been continually upgraded by the owners with the end result being that they have created a place where you can relax in a comfortable and welcoming old fashioned Tidewater environment while also having access to 21st century amenities like high-speed wireless internet and satellite TV with flat screen televisions in the family room and King bedroom. For home security purposes, there is an external surveillance camera on the premises for monitoring the driveway and parking area of the property.

The house has direct access to the beach and we are as close to the ocean and dune line as zoning allows. Our beach house is off the main road so there's no traffic driving by but it's a very short walk to the beach ramp so we have the best of both worlds--privacy and accessibility! Once on the ramp, you can easily roll your gear all the way to the water's edge using our Wheeleez beach cart and "set up camp" for a great day of beach fun.

Two oceanfront 4 season sun rooms with ceiling fans and comfy seating options provide private getaways from the main family living and dining area. The family and dining area are open concept and still retain the home's original large exposed wooden ceiling beams and traditional Pickwick tongue and groove pine panelling on the walls. In this space, also, we have a Baldwin piano that's available for our guests to enjoy. On our screen porch, your options for relaxing and hanging out include the wooden porch swing and cushioned sofa or you might enjoy sitting at the wooden table (seats 8) and grabbing a bite to eat. The screen porch is right off the kitchen so whether it's for early breakfast, quick lunch and back to the beach or for cocktails and dining at sunset it's the place where everyone likes to gather together. Outside of our screen porch is our back yard and private sand dune with Adirondack chairs and bench seating; the perfect location to spend an evening under the stars with family and friends!

The second floor sun deck with lounge chairs & tables overlooks the ocean and is perfectly positioned to catch the ocean breezes blowing over the dune.

This property offers the unique amenities of a large covered outdoor shower house with hot & cold water & dry changing area plus our own private adjacent sand dune with green area where we have space for additional guest parking - truly a hot commodity at the beach!

Our house is rented by the week only from Sunday to Sunday. Check-in at 4pm and Checkout at 11am.

The home sleeps Nine Persons in four bedrooms with one king bed, one queen bed, and five twin beds. All bedrooms are on the second floor. Kidco Pea Pod Plus Midnight Travel Sleeper and/or Pack & Play are available for our littlest guests by request.

We provide a Wheeleez beach cart, 9 beach chairs, 2 beach umbrellas, yard games for the entire family to enjoy and, for the little ones, boogie boards, a kiddie wading pool and beach toys. We provide a Weber kettle style charcoal grill and grilling utensils. In our back yard and on our private dune there are seating options so you can sit outside and enjoy the salt air and ocean front vibe as you wait for dinner to be served on the screened porch.


Edgar Cayce's A.R.E Health Center and Spa and natural food restaurant, Café 67, are located just three blocks from our home. The entrance to First Landing State Park South Entrance is 1/2 mile from the house and the Virginia Beach Boardwalk and Resort Strip with all its activities is 2 miles away. If you don't feel like driving, it's a safe walk or bike ride to all of these using the access road that parallels Atlantic Avenue. The Virginia Beach Aquarium and Adventure Park and Ocean Breeze Water Park are all within 6 miles. Busch Gardens, Water Country and historic Williamsburg, Yorktown and Jamestown are an hour away.

Comfortable, clean, convenient, wonderful property with warm, helpful hosts. Everything exactly as described in description and pictures, with lots of pleasant little surprises like more "stock items" than is usual in similar properties.

Beach week as it should be

We had a wonderful time at this well appointed, large, comfortable beach side cottage. There were three decks looking out to the ocean; there were all you could hope for beach accessories; a kitchen with everything we needed to cook most of our meals; an enormous library to suit all tastes; and plenty of zones where people could read, relax, play games, watch TV. Our group of 4 adults and 5 children had a great time there. You’ll love it!

Step back in time to a cozy cottage at the beach. Warm and comfortable with lots of Home touches

We had a great week of enjoying this wonderful home at the beach. Everything you need to enjoy time with your family. A well stocked kitchen with everything you need to cook. Very cozy and clean. Outdoor shower is perfect and the screened in porch is perfect for family time. We enjoyed all the puzzles, games and book selection. What a wonderful place to getaway and enjoy the beach. Loved it!

Family Fun

Overall this was a great experience. The walk to the beach is short and easy. The beach was beautiful and never overly crowded. The area is totally non-commercial, but everything you could want from food, to movies, to shopping is within a 2-5 mile drive. The house is nicely appointed and well stocked for a family gathering. There is even room for cooking out and setting up a wading pool for little ones. We loved it.

Lovely cottage home

My husband and I stayed at this home this past summer. Lovely cottage style house, very comfortable. House was clean, decorated beautifully and well equipped. We spent a great deal of time on the screened in porch or upstairs in the Florida room facing the ocean off the master bedroom. Very quiet and peaceful. Easy beach access which came in handy for my husband who has walking issues. Would definitely rent this house again.

Second visit and this Beach House is better than ever.

Our family rented this home in 2014 and decided to return this year. We love the outdoor shower with the rain shower head - I did not shower indoors once during our week. The owners have done a really good job renovating the kitchen since our last visit. Our kids spent most evenings playing on the dune in the lot next door, and we could watch them while having cocktails on the screen porch, which seems to always have a breeze. Working with the owners was great - they remembered us and Ann sent a lot of helpful info by e-mail. We will certainly rent this house again.

Summer vacation

They provided Immediate response with any questions. Loads of character to the house..this could mean not modern with private baths etc.this is an older house that has been perfectly maintained and updated..perfect for our family..actually has 5 bedrooms..the beach set up can not get any better than this. Views are great. We can't really pic a favorite room but the screen in porch is hard to beat..ocean view sunroom is spectacular, rooftop deck is fantastic....overall a great place in a great location. State park is just about 6 blocks away with lots of nature and water access..we kayaked a lot from there. Drove to close by activities.....best vacation ever for the grandkids!

Great location, very clean, super responsive owner, older home

Location was amazing. Huge clean beach, no crowds, private yard, lots of parking, 10-15 minutes from all the boardwalk action none of the noise and crowds. Super friendly and easy to work with owner. Older style home but very clean. Large open living area and lots of rooms for different activities. 2 bathrooms inside main house. Full additional shower for beach wash off doubles as a 3rd real shower location. Master bedroom is a good size (king), with a sunroom and futon. 2nd bedroom is smaller with a queen. 3rd and 4th and sort of 5th is 2 singles in one room, walk through that room to another large bedroom with 2 singles. There is also a odd little room with a single bed of the 3rd bedroom, think walk in closet with a bed. Can work very well with a bunch of kids that have separate space but all feel together. Perfect layout for 4 parents and up to 5 kids (that are close). Not ideal for 6 parents and 3 kids as it would result in one couple having to walk through another couples room to go to bed. House also had everything you could want for the beach available to you. Great trip.

A Very Special Place!

Simply put, this place is special. It's a summer beach rental, but as soon as you arrive on the property, you feel at home! The house sits on a very private spot, is off the main road, has an empty lot with dunes on one side, and the ocean is the FRONT YARD! The inside is very inviting with a cozy and comfortable vibe. This is a vintage home, architecturally speaking, however the modern upgrades have been done without sacrificing the unique style and charm. The house is meticulously clean! The owners have thought of every detail to make your stay a pleasant experience - even down to providing helpful instructions to take the guesswork out of locating and operating various items. The kitchen and baths are well-stocked with essentials. The bedrooms are nicely furnished and the mattresses and pillows are very comfortable. There are so many ways to enjoy this special place: Sipping morning coffee in the sunroom. Having meals in the screened porch. Feeling the ocean breeze and listening to the birds sing to you from the "next door" dune while sitting on the porch swing. Spending hours walking and sitting on the beautiful, wide beach. Taking a shower in the awesome outdoor shower HOUSE! Relaxing in the living area in the evening. Gazing at the stars from the upstairs deck. I could go on and on about this special place! Lastly, the owners were very pleasant to work with and were quick to respond with any questions. It is quite apparent they love their beach home. They have taken great care to make sure you love it too! That said, I can't wait to return!

Fantastic vintage beachfront home!

This is an amazing beachside family retreat in Virginia Beach. The location was far enough from the famous Boardwalk so that the beaches are not crowded, but close enough to easily bike on the Maritime Bike Trail (10-15 minutes). Beach access is next door (randomly crossing the dunes is illegal for conservation reasons). There are two private bedrooms (one king and one queen) for couples and 3 rooms with single beds (5 total) for kids. There are two full baths in the main living space, a “beach access quickie” half-bath in the outside entry laundry room, and a spacious 3rd “indoor, but outdoor” shower in the storage shed. The kitchen is a small, yet highly efficient “galley style” food preparation area. It is the most completely equipped of any that I’ve stayed in....EVER! We prepared everything from crab boils to baked goods with no problem. Plenty of beverage containers and glasses for gallons of Sangria! A full set of knives and a knife sharpener. There are 2 sunrooms (one on each floor) and an outdoor deck that are perfect for sunrise breakfasts or watching the ships pass through the main channel entering the Chesapeake Bay (binoculars provided). A Weber grill and fire pit kept us close to home at night. There are plenty of beach chairs, umbrellas, and toys for kids (young and old). A large sand cart makes the daily beach set up a one trip event. The homeowners provide “in plain sight” instructions for everything imaginable. From light switches to beach chair folding, you won’t be left scratching your head! If you are looking for a huge, open concept beach home, this cottage is not for you. However, if you like vintage homes and efficient, cozy living spaces where the sounds of family interacting abound.... this is your oceanfront oasis! It certainly was ours......

The Perfect Beach House

I grew up on the ocean, so I have a lot of expectations when I rent a beach property - this charming house meets every single one. I have rented this house on multiple occasions over the last five years and have nothing but positive things to say. It is perfectly located, literally on the ocean in a quiet residential area that is still just a few minutes drive from "downtown" Virginia Beach. The house is on a large piece of property with a wonderful sense of privacy and loads of parking. It's multiple porches and sun rooms provide true indoor/outdoor living with views of the ocean. Those who love spending the day curled up reading while looking at the ocean will enjoy the house as much as those who revel in its proximity to ocean and beach activities. The house is cozy, with the charm of a local residence, while still providing clean and updated living spaces. What distinguishes this house from most rentals is the owners attentiveness to detail - all of the bathrooms (and the amazing outdoor shower HOUSE) are clean and stocked with great products; the mattresses and pillows on all of the beds are in great condition and very comfortable; bedrooms are spacious and light-filled with beautiful decor; high quality beach chairs, umbrellas, and outdoor equipment are provided; and a nice flat screen TVS, a wide range of cable offerings, and a fully-stocked book shelf are provided for your family's entertainment needs. The kitchen and dining areas are stocked to the hilt - you have no reason to leave the house for dinner whether you are serving four or twenty people. There are multiple sets of good quality china, glassware, silver ware, cloth napkins, and serving dishes as well as beach-friendly cups, plates, bowls, etc. The kitchen boasts two refrigerators as well as every tool or appliance one would need to cook a gourmet meal. To add to your ease as a guest, all cabinets and the entire pantry are labelled according to the items inside, so you are never searching for what you need. Detailed instructions are provided for check in, check out, laundry, garbage and all other practicalities, which takes all of the stress and guess work out of being in the house. You can really feel how much the owners love the house, and I guarantee you will love it too.

Lovely Ocean Front Cottage

Nice cottage with several views of Ocean. Homey and comfortable. Close to the beach. We had three generations stay. While it may not work for everyone, it did for us. Bedrooms are close (which we expected) but plenty of spaces to spread out otherwise, from the screened in porch, upper sun deck and two front enclosed porches. Also, good size yard. Plenty of parking, big outdoor shower. Small kitchen but 2 refrigerators a bonus. Overall, it was a great fit for our family.

A perfect beach vacation!!

I don’t even know where to begin that’s how great this home, property, beach and the lovely owners are. This was our first visit to Virginia Beach, coming from CT and we could not have had a better experience. Cleanliness is very important to me and this beach house was spotless upon arrival. It has everything you would need to have a carefree, enjoyable beach vacation. The sun porches both upstairs and down are great places to relax and read a book. We have 4 teenage children and there was plenty of space for all to relax and each had their own bedroom. The bedrooms, 3 out of the four ( not including the master) are all somewhat interconnected which worked out fabulous for our family. All our children had their own space but can open their bedroom doers and be together as well. This beach house offers so much charm in each room. And the location to the beach could not be better. There is a ramp right outside the driveway which allows one to easily use the provided wheeley cart to take everything to the beach which is xirtually right outside your back door!! I had the pleasure of working with and speaking to Ann who was so wonderful. She answered all my questions quite quickly and was a true pleasure to work with. I can honestly say this was one of my favorite vacations,, we had no reason to leave the fabulous beach house. We played lots of family games and enjoyed time spent together. If you are looking for a great beach vacation, look no further. The charm and comforts of this home are sure to please you.

True Beach Treasure!

I’m not sure where to begin... We are a city family with three wildling boys. This charming beachside secluded home had everything we could’ve hoped! It was so cozy, felt like home. Bike ride mornings to beach days to outdoor spa worthy shower to movie nights. There was a treasure around every corner for us to find. Amazingly clean and fully stocked kitchen!

Clean, comfortable home; perfect setting

We live in Virginia Beach and rented this home for extended family that we could not accommodate at our house. There is plenty of room to congregate as a family or spread out if you want your own space. The upstairs porches, one inside and one out, are perfect for gazing at the ocean and the stars at night. The downstairs porch was relaxing as well with the swings. We appreciated the beach cart, chairs and toys and outdoor shower. The house is comfortably furnished and there are plenty of essentials in the kitchen. If you have a large family, you do have to share bathrooms to some extent, but because of the perfect setting and cleanliness of the property, it would not deter me from renting again. Like many other rental houses on the North End, it's old-school and that's part of the charm.

A Wonderful Family Vacation

We had a wonderful family vacation that we will always remember at this home. From the first point of contact, the owners could not have been more helpful. Thank you Ann and Bob! I agree with the past descriptions/reviews of the home. It was very clean and well stocked. For us, the outdoor shower was a tremendous plus. We’ve rented many homes in the past, and keeping it clean with children, was sometimes a stressor. All of our showers were outside, and when we came off the beach, the kids went directly into the shower; so easy. Probably the only thing I would do differently would be to rent/buy one of those wagons to get our gear to the beach more easily. Did I mention that the home was immaculate? All the cooking supplies that one would need are provided; the best I’ve seen. We also loved that the house provided a feel of a true beach home. Our family enjoyed being able to cook our meals and eat on the porch right next to the kitchen. Everything was lovely, and we will be back again!

About the host

Hosted by Ann Hornsby

Host profile image
Our father bought this home and vacant lot in 1958 and it is a magical place. We spent every Summer here while growing up. The privacy afforded by the lot makes you feel like you're far removed from the hustle & bustle, but the shopping, dining, and other fun activities of the Virginia Beach resort area is just minutes away!

Why they chose this property

Virginia Beach has the most beautiful wide sandy beach in the mid-Atlantic, with super amenities like concerts, movies, fireworks, and great restaurants. You can sit outside on the upper sun deck or inside in the AC on the ocean front porch and watch the submarines, aircraft carriers, and container ships traveling in and out of Hampton Roads harbor.

What makes this property unique

It is truly wonderful to wake up in the morning and simply walk a few hundred feet to the ocean for that first swim of the day! Then set up your beach camp with chairs and umbrellas for a relaxing day at the beach just steps from your kitchen, bathrooms, and shower. In the evening, you can enjoy our ocean front home plus tucked away private dune as a perfect end to a great day at the beach!
