Become a Beach Bum at the Beach Bungalow - Hot Tub, Kayaks, Wi-Fi, & SAND!!!

Great house and location.

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 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.

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.

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!!

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.

Great house and location, included everything we needed. Would definitely stay again!

Great house! Great location! We had blast being on the beach and swimming all week!

Tom was a very helpful host. The property was in a good location, and being right on the beach was amazing. Our family also enjoyed the hot tub. Thank you, Tom

I highly recommend the beach bungalow for as family vacation on the beach. The location is wonderfull!

Tom & Cate made it a wonderful experience for our family vacation!!! Excellent communication and the home was well stocked. Only missing item was a pizza cutter, but we made due! The beach was relaxing and clean, we were able to see Dolphins, and we were super happy to be able to do our laundry as needed. I recommend bringing your own laundry detergent, as I’m allergic to what was provided. We will definitely be back!!! Loved every minute of our stay!!! Thanks again!!!

Everything was perfect. No issues at all. Would stay again. Thanks for everything!

The location of this property is absolutely phenomenal for families with young children. The beach is literally steps away from the house. We appreciated the added amenities of the kayaks for something different to do in the ocean as well as the shed full of beach chairs and toys. The crow’s nest was fun to use early in the morning or late in the evening when the temperature outside was cooler. The house itself worked well for our family’s needs, though it had a difficult time maintaining its temperature despite outside doors not being opened. It was a little challenging to wrangle our toddler into the shower (as the house has no tubs), but we were aware of this prior to our booking. The washing machine was huge which was super helpful for doing laundry mid-week. Also, we appreciated the lack of knick-knacks for decoration as they can be a problem with kids. For future renters: 1) the cabinets were well stocked with spices, 2) there are no extra blankets, 3) there is limited space in the bathrooms to store personal items, 4) the blinds do not block out sunlight completely.

We had a great time. The weather was great and the water was cool and warm at some times so u can just jump right in. Tom and Catherine were awesome hosts. We didn't get to see Piglet but we did see the dolphins. Thanks again.

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!!

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.

This was our second stay at the Beach Bungalow, and we loved it even more! This time we saw the dolphins and had amazing weather every day. We also visited Busch Gardens and Virginia Beach and had great meals at Longboards just down the road. Outlet shopping is also a short 15 minute drive. Best part is always relaxing on the beach and watching the sun rise and set each day. Our kids enjoyed boogie boarding and Lodi sing crabs with their flashlights. After a long day in the sun, The bungalow was cool and cozy, and we loved how the kids had their own bathroom and wing of the house. This time we met the owner Tom who was very friendly and helped us have the best family vaca. We will definitely return!
