Very cozy and comfortable property with privacy. Convenient location, with incredible views. A great place to spend time with family and not be in the middle of typical beach towns. Bay side, so waves were small and kids can have a lot of fun in the sand and sun. We would definitely book here again in the future.

The house was clean and welcoming. The location was perfect for a quiet and relaxing beach vacation. There were not a lot of people on the beach and you felt like you had it all to yourself. Tom was extremely helpful and was quick to respond when there were any questions. I would stay here again if I ever come back to the area.

The most relaxing week!

We had a wonderful time at the beach bungalow! The highlight was the beach, it was lovely and calm most days but we did get a couple days with great waves! We spent most of our week relaxing on the beach and in the water. Tom was a great host and very quick to respond when we had a question. We couldn’t have ask for a better place to relax with our kiddos.

We absolutely enjoyed our vacation at the Bungalow! This is our second year and will plan another. Our host is wonderful. Checks in and replies to concerns. He made a few upgrades from last year and we definitely noticed them! This area of the Bay was my childhood vacation spot. It’s always a pleasure to stay in the area, would love to retire in VA.

Beach Bungalow

This was our third time staying here and we absolutely love it! The location is perfect. Right on the beach, which is never crowded, and close to all the attractions in Virginia Beach, Norfolk, and surrounding areas. I love staying in a house with my family instead of a hotel room. This place gives us the ability to have our own spaces. After seeing the families lugging gear from their hotels to Virginia Beach, it just proves how wonderful this house is. Just down the steps and out to the beach! Nice beach chairs in the shed that are easy to carry. A beach wagon to help carry coolers or other supplies makes it so easy. Had a nice chat with Tom on the beach and he was so nice to give us a gift card for pizza dinner! Such a nice surprise that made move in day dinner so much easier. This house is worth every penny and we can’t wait to go back again! Thanks Tom!!

The location on the private beach with the crow's nest was nice, but we definitely would not stay here again. The place is old and needs a lot of updates and a deep cleaning. The sheets were stained, there is what appears to be mold in the bathroom and closets, and everything was sticky/dirty/needs replaced. There are webs and live/dead spiders, including in the cabinet where the pots are kept. Large piano and desk in the small living area that were locked and not able to be used even upon request. It made the small space feel even smaller and clunky. Kitchen is lacking cookware. Significant delay in response from host when messages were sent.

Relaxing

The house was comfortable and clean and the owners were kind and accommodating. It was so nice being right on the beach and we had great views from the top deck. Location was close to the airport and local attractions. We were about 1/2 hour drive from Virginia Beach. Great place to relax on your own private beach.

Beautiful Beach Bungalow

We had a wonderful time at this beach bungalow. The home was lovely with extra amenities provided. The area surrounding was equally lovely. The trek to the beach was hot hot hot but perfect!! The crows nest was probably one of our favorite parts of the bungalow. We saw dolphins every morning!! If we decide to come back to Norfolk we would definitely consider staying here again!!

Renter Beware

This was my second time staying at this beach bungalow. What brought me back was the location to the beach and the privacy the beach offers. The cons out weight the pros. The owner showed up several times. Once talking to my teenage daughter on the porch(which made her uncomfortable) then he came down on one of our beach days to talk to us. There is a ring camera on the back door that obviously shows anything you are doing on the porch or back area, again making my teenage daughter uncomfortable. I understand the front ring door bell but the back is unacceptable to us. The furniture in the listing is not the same that is in the house. It is there is very uncomfortable.The beds in the peach and yellow room are uncomfortable and the 2nd bed (not in pic) is on wheels and does not stay in place The small bathroom off the peach room had a dirty shower(mold), needs a deep cleaning. The refrigerator has a check out list they ask you to follow. Temp 75, fans on, and lights off. We did all of these things and was told be barely did anything. After reading the contract that was signed a year ago other things are listed as “housekeeping procedures” NOT check out list. Not only does the fridge say check out list but the owner called it a check out list on his beach visit with us. So BEWARE the list does not list all he wants done. We were also accused of breaking some of the dishes and staining a sheet, the owner did not supply any proof of this.

What a beautiful beach bungalow right on the beach! Perfect get away location from the hustle and bustle of every day life. The beach is right out the door and so peaceful.

Enjoyable week together

This is our second vacation together at the Beach Bungalow. Most everyone spent the day at the beach, mostly because it was such a short walk back to the house for snacks, lunch, etc.. After dinner, there's the fire pit and then end the day in the hot tub! You can't beat it for peace and quiet...though a day trip to Virginia Beach and the aquarium is an extra!
