Beachfront paradise, relaxed, pet friendly

Nice spot on the water.

Beach view was excellent at the top of dune! The deck was delightful. Every chair, mat, boogie board available. Loved it was pet friendly. Dogs had the most fun on the beach.

Easy access to beach. Large deck. Clean and spacious. Centrally located between Norfolk and VA Beach

My family and I had a very nice time. We had so much room and everything we needed was in the home. The owner made it very easy to access the home.

Everything was great . Steps to the ocean . Fairly secluded . Many restaurants and stores nearby .

This house is exactly as advertised. You'd hardly notice it from the street but there's a nice house inside. I'm sure it has some history, given its location by the beach, and we guessed it had been gutted and renovated multiple times. It is by the beach, of course--we spent a lot of time sweeping up sand and shooing away bugs in the house, but that is what happens with kids at the beach. It was worth the great location and easy beach access. As my kids get bigger I'm not sure I'd return, but for younger children who you can cram into small spaces, it's a perfect fit.

The exterior was terribly neglected. Mowing had been done in months. Weeds everywhere. everwhere

My family had a blast. We were in a perfect location and was just what we expected. The owner was fantastic and polite. The communication was great from day one with the owner. We will definitely plan another vacation back to this property.

Everything about our stay was perfect! Response to any texts were withing minutes and the property was exactly as stated. It was also very well stocked including coffee and laundry detergent. Very roomy and comfortable with good proximity to the Naval Base. We would certainly stay again. Hints: Have Uber pick up at the Surf Motel next door since that's where they end up anyway. Shower in the master has good hot water capacity. Walk the beach! It's beautiful with gentle waves and sand doesn't get too hot.

I booked this beach house for myself, my 2 teenage boys, and my 2 parents (80+) and their dog. The location was great with the on-site beach access for me and my boys. The old folks were unable to navigate the dune or the stairs. Fortunately, 2 minute's drive away (21st Bay St.) was public beach access that was flat, so it all worked out. We cooked all but two of our meals in the house and found most of what we needed was provided (I did buy a sharper knife and a cookie sheet that I left there). I get the feeling that many guests also pay it forward like this. I really appreciated the 2 cold ones, and the high end chocolate bar, left in the fridge (by the proprietor or a previous guest, not sure) after 2 long days of driving. The house was clean and the remodel is charming. Appliances are new. You will notice some things slightly amiss with the house, but, in a way, that made it seem like home, gave it some character, and caused me to feel some affection for the place. Hot water tank isn't very big, so we planned and staggered our showers. Instructions were clear and easily noticeable. Magurel was great with communication and some help when we asked. The week was quite relaxing and just what I'd hoped. The price point was exactly right. Would stay here again.

Spectacular location to enjoy the water, sun and sand! We were able to enjoy the beach and the lovely morning walks while watching the sunrise.

We enjoyed our stay,. we came for the close proximity to the beach and beach is what we got. We stayed for a week and it rained all day on our last day fortunately beach house had a variety of steaming services on TV caught on show and more.Host was easy to work with and attended to any issues that pop up.

Overall it was a cozy stay. We enjoyed the location being so close to the beach and prefer Norfolk over Virginia Beach due to it being way less busy. However it was not well air-conditioned and the room the kids slept it was over 90 each night because the air unit was not working and if you do laundry the dryer vent goes straight into that room. The living area also got pretty warm. If we kept the two bedroom doors shut they stayed cool so we could sleep well in those rooms. I was a little unsure about the location just with it being right next to a motel and I hadn't realized that at the time of booking. The home was well cleaned and ready for us upon arrival. I also appreciated the outdoor area with beach items and sandals for use while we were there and the brushes to help get sand off when we returned.

Communication was great!
