Classic Chesapeake Beachside Cottage w/ Porch!

Cottage was very nice on the beach. It was well stocked with essentials like detergent, dish soap, and toiletries, etc. Very comfortable, clean and relaxing for a winter stay. Will definately stay again when visiting the Norfolk/Virginia Beach area. Location was great too, 15-20 minutes to get anywhere around the area. Close to airport.Thanks for being a great host and making the stau over Christmas enjoyable.

If you want to get away and stay right on the beach then this place is a must. Most week kept and clean place we have ever stayed. Attention to detail is awesome even for an incredibly OCD guy like me. The neighbor cat... Oreo... was an added benefit.

This was our second time staying at the beach house. Enjoyed our stay visiting with our son and family. We would definitely stayed again. The house is perfect for our needs and location.

Host was great and responsive for questions. Great house and location.

Parking v easy enough for 2 cars easy to find nice neighbourhood and great location. Right on the beach..tho we didn't get sunny weather still a terrific place to stay bbq worked well and everything u need in a home away from home.

This is exactly what we wanted for the Fourth—easy beach access right out back, great view of the surrounding beaches (aka view of fireworks all around), comfortable beds, cute house, and chill hosts. As a book lover, I also thought their collection was impressive and interesting! There’s a shower on the lower level, which we used after coming in from the beach, and one with a tub on the upper level (where the two bedrooms are). There is also a high chair, bib, two baby gates, filters for coffee, olive oil, salt, pots, pans, cutlery, etc. Very easy trip with lots of fun things to do! We took a tour of the navy base, went into Norfolk to see the Nauticus, and had some GREAT bbq at Redwood Smoke Shack (order in advance—they sell out quickly!). I also hear there’s a great farmers market on Saturdays (with amazing donuts), but left before we had a chance to try them.

We were in Virginia Beach for a brief business trip, and this was the perfect place to retreat for some relaxation with our family. Definitely on my list of places that we would return to.

Best vacation rental I have ever stayed!The location was incredible!The home was cozy! It was so nice to walk out on the beach every night for a walk. The owner provided beach toys for the kids to play with! The kitchen and home had everything we needed to cook a great meal. We actually never ate out!Beds were so comfy! Can’t say enough about how great our stay was!!

Early fall at Zoe's Cottage is especially nice. The days are warm, and nights are pleasantly cool. After four stays, the cottage is like a home away from home. Comfortable furniture and tasteful decorations highlighted by the owners artwork create a pleasant and peaceful atmosphere. It's a great time of year to walk on the beach or sit on the bench on the dune. This year it was a little rainy so we spent some time at a local antique store. The sun came out just enough to attend a Tides baseball game, and check out the annual Neptune festival and sand sculpture competition. We highly recommend booking a stay at Zoe's Cottage.

My family stayed for the 2nd time at Zoe's Cottage and it was just as we remembered! Three years later, the home was still perfectly clean upon arrival, had all of the beach essentials in the shed outside, had the essentials for cooking in the kitchen, and had the same peaceful, relaxing feel that we needed for our week away. We ventured out to the Virginia Living Museum (definitely a favorite for our 2 kiddos) and the Virginia Aquarium (very, very crowded but nice - glad we saw it but probably won't revisit just due to the busy-ness). We mostly cooked at the house but did check out the Ocean View Fishing Pier restaurant which was good and had live music playing that evening. We saw dolphins on several occasions and caught and released mole crabs and ghost crabs. The bay is calm enough that our littlest doesn't get knocked over by the waves, but still fun for our oldest to swim and boogie board. We had a nice stretch of beach all to ourselves. The porch and the bench atop the dune are favorites for me. This is the perfect place to get away, relax, enjoy family time, and forget the worries of the world for a while. If you're looking for a place that is private, peaceful, and relaxing - this is it!

The house and property were perfect for a quiet getaway and we enjoyed the private beach!
