Nice kitchen with everything a person should need! Cozy place in a quiet neighborhood very close to the beach. Will keep it on the list of places to stay!
The rental was impressively clean. The host is super nice and has the rental well stocked with everything needed. It is located in a more quiet community with a short, scenic walk to the beach. We enjoyed our stay.
This property is very cute and clean. Easy access to the beach. The one and only issue we had was that you can hear the neighbors in the attached home. They seem to have irregular working hours so we could hear them throughout the night and the smells coming from their kitchen. Otherwise, they never bothered us.
Appreciative of the Brita water pitcher. It was a very nice and quiet.

Great neighborhood. A block from the beach and very close to areas we were visiting. Small space on 2nd floor but cozy and comfortable. Heat and AC both worked fine (we had a couple of very chilly days).
Everything was wonderful! Everything was clean & neat. Extremely cozy & adorable! I loved it so much, I will definitely be staying again. Thank you for a wonderful stay!!
Cottage is a wonderful place for a couples getaway vacation. We thoroughly enjoyed the quiet neighborhood and short walk to a less populated part of the beach. We would stay again.
Absolutely loved our stay at Shiplap Cottage! The home was spotlessly clean, beautifully decorated, and had everything we needed for a comfortable getaway. Ritamarie was a fantastic host—her communication was thoughtful, clear, and incredibly helpful. The short walk to the beach was a perfect bonus. Highly recommend!
We had a wonderful stay. The apartment was cozy for two people and having a full kitchen made it so convenient. Location near the ocean for walks was just what we needed.
My husband and I loved the Adorable Beach Apartment. It had everything we needed. It was nicely decorated, comfortable, good AC and close/ quick walk to the beach. We biked into and through the state park and down to the boardwalk. Loved the outdoor shower. We would stay there again.
What a great location! Beautiful little cottage for two! Only a block from a beautiful, quiet beach! Also, an excellent host! Highly recommend for your stay in the North End of Virginia Beach!
Ritamarie provided a charming and comfortable property optimally located for beach access. Coordination and communication was clear. Thanks for a great stay!
My husband and I enjoyed 4 nights at Shiplap Cottage. Great location, quiet area, clean well maintained home. The owner was quick to respond to our questions. We’d stay here again.
