Cozy Bay Cottage private yard blocks from beach!

Overall a pretty good stay. Fairly clean. Dining table was great for cards and games. Yard was great for catch (except i stepped in dog poop). Location close to quiet beach. Loved that. Neighborhood quiet. Good for taking walks. Kitchen equipped with cooking needs. Icemaker was a bonus. Negatives/cons - Master bed mattress was HORRIBLE; sunk to middle of bed. Poop in yard. Host didnt return 3 requests to measure doorway to bathroom for my wheelchair bound wife. She was unable to get in bathroom. We had to take door off! Very disappointed. I told him how important it was to get those measurements but we made it work. Driveway holds 1 car not 2. Gas grill had 2 empty tanks so we couldn't grill out the burgers we bought. There's a lot of LACK OF ATTENTION TO DETAIL in this property in preparation for guests but we still enjoyed our time as our reunion of friends kept eachother positive and laughing.

Be honest property was good no problem at all just need to improve on hambient of smell I don't know where come front is like humidity or something else other than that was really good!

Very clean cottage, fresh linens and comfortableì bed, had a good sleep. Master bedroom Shower was Wonderful. Kitchen had a drip coffee maker WITH decaf Only! which I overlooked when I was wóas booking. Next time I boot anywhete, Pls make a note of it e o

The property was wonderful, clean, and very comfortable for our family of four adults . Fully stocked kitchen. Also, the beach wagon, towels and umbrella made our visit to the beach much more comfortable. We stayed for five nights. Great location with easy access to the not crowded beach, Plenty of restaurants and attractions nearby and in a safe friendly neighborhood. Our host Richard was very responsive and accommodating to our needs. The check-in and check out process was very simple. We would definitely come back here again...

Beautiful home! Spacious and very clean! Short walk to the beach! And very close to Virginia Beach board walk! Highly recommend for all!

My family and I had a fantastic stay at this cozy like little beach house! We had a 5 year old and 2 year old who were thrilled to see the beach wagon and inflatables. All the games were such a great addition to our stay! We enjoyed the rooms very much and the fenced in back yard was a must with young kids. The walk to the beach is pretty short, but we drove to the boardwalk where the beach was much prettier. It was about a 30 min drive. Truly, the only complaint my family and I have is the bed in the master bedroom was incredibly squeaky and loud. Just a simple toss or turn and the noises are heard out in the living room. My husband ended up sleeping in there alone because I'm a light sleeper. I took one of the beds in the room with my kids. We slept well when we did it this way. So it all worked out

Great location. We were able to walk to the beach and chill at home. Would start again.

We showed up and found a clean and cool spot to stay the night. The beach access is only a 5 minute walk to the bay. This was spectacular! We were also only 1 mile from Jessie's Taquaria which is thr Mexican food in Norfolk. Overall this property checked all our boxes.

Clean and up-to-date home. Close to the beach. Convenient and comfortable. Would rent again.

The house was so cute and well taken care of. Plenty of space for a larger group and very close to the beach. I would definitely recommend this house and stay again! Richard was so helpful and communicative. Overall great experience!

It was just one night stay, but we enjoyed it. A huge plus for all the board games for kids.

Nicely appointed. Super close to beach. Has coffee maker but no supplies, so be sure to bring filters, coffee, and cream/sugar. Good communication with owner when we had questions.

The house is as promised - in a charming neighborhood just a short walk from the beach. The host supplied everything for a comfortable beach retreat.

Unfortunately, I would not recommend this house. The place was not clean. Our socks were black. The bottom of the kid's feet turned black. The kitchen counter tops were sticky. Communication - The host responded quickly prior to check-in. However, when I messaged the host explaining that the house wasn't very clean and that the kitchen sink water drained to the outside of the house to the backyard causing a smell and bringing Flys there was no reply. A couple days later I informed him that the garbage disposal stopped working and that there were cockroaches in the house. Also, no reply. After our stay, I received a message from the host thanking me for being respectful of the house and asking for a 5 star review and in return he would reciprocate a 5 star review for me. In good conscience, I cannot do that. Towels - There were enough for 6 people, but the house sleeps 7, so my youngest kids shared the thin poor quality towels. Kitchen supplies - The pots and pans are bent and warped. Thankfully, we brought our own pots and pans. If we hadn't, we would not have been able to cook anything in this house. There were towels to dry the dishes but nothing to wash the dishes with so again thankfully we brought our own. Master bedroom - horrible bed. It's no longer a dip in the middle as previously reviewed. It's now a V. There are no sheets for the futon bed. On the plus side, the house is a block and a half walking distance to the beach.

Fly infestation & Surveillance cameras. That’s what we remember from our stay. It’s unfortunate that some vacation rental owners are so eager to collect as much money from bookings, they’re not the least bit concerned about each renters experience. Our experience was greatly affected by the fact that the garbage was not taken to the curb. The can as well as the recycling was FULL!! When we arrived we inspected the place, sure it’s as described, but upon opening the back door to check out the backyard, the flys swarmed in. We went around the side only to be immediately greeted by the stench and FLYS Circling both cans that were only about 10 feet from the back door. We moved the cans to the front only to realize the excessive brush and branches were also a breeding ground for rodents. Needless to say we were fighting off & swatting flys all weekend. We contacted Richard only to be told the situation Would be remedied in time “for the next guest” The Next Guest ⁉️ We also contacted VRBO however flying in, having booked excursions, 4th of July weekend!! We really could not focus on the situation until after we invested about $50 of insect spray & left. Just the memory of removing Flys off our food, drinks, washing sippy cups because when I say SWARMED The house I mean SWARMED!! To top it all off. The locked closet that would be assumed is a linen closet next to the bathroom. Is LOCKED certainly because the little snake cam that’s spying under the door is disturbing.

We had a great time! The property was as described. On a quiet street. Very clean and enough space for the 5 of us. The private fenced in yard was a nice space for cook outs and relaxing. The beach access was a short walk and never crowded. We were close enough to enjoy several of the local attractions, the Botanical Gardens, the Chrysler art museum, the Aquarium and boat tours. The kids enjoyed checking out the disc golf courses, local coffee shops and boutique shops. I would highly recommend if you are looking for a fun family trip!
