About this property

Cozy Historic Beach House only Steps Away from Beach and Fishing Pier!

Kayaks and beach equipment rentals available, message host for details!
This well-equipped, historic 2 bed/1 bath house has semi-private beach access on the beautiful Chesapeake Bay and is located next to the Ocean View Fishing Pier and rooftop bar and grill!
It is about 1000 square feet in size, and has 1 queen size bed, 2 twin size beds, and a queen sofa bed in the living room. Fast WiFi, 50” smart TV in the living room and 40" smart TV in the main bedroom. Window AC units for air conditioning and each room is heated with thermostat controlled infrared units. It is within close driving proximity to Virginia Beach Oceanfront, Chic's Beach, Downtown Norfolk, Old Dominion University, and Christopher Newport University.
The house sits only about 100 feet away from the beach, with a short path from your backyard past my other rental house to access the beach. There are no steep dunes or stairways to navigate, no streets to cross, and the access is not shared with the public.
Housebroken and well-behaved pets are allowed with payment of the pet fee. This property will be deep cleaned and sanitized between every reservation. This is a recently acquired property and will be continually improved with summer profits.

Disliked: Communication, location
Bare bones, not the cleanest place. Queen mattress was not comfortable, and the bedroom is right next to a main road so we didn’t sleep well here. Water was hot which was a plus, but no hair dryer. Communication with property manager was iffy, took a while to respond if at all. When we got in, the designated parking spots were all blocked, which could be an issue for someone who isn’t familiar with the area. Overall convenient for two nights as it’s close to interstate, but wouldn’t stay again.

Property very clean, steps away from Oceanview fishing pier.

Property is clean and neat. However, a tad rundown. Very close to the beach as described and next to the Oceanview fishing pier. Communication with property owner excellent. Overall a good experience.

Beach Cottage

The place was clean and well kept, the building is starting to show its age, and needs a few maintenance items like weather stripping, to help with the wind off the ocean. Other than that, we enjoyed our stay and would recommend.

Wonderful getaway

This was a wonderful little getaway for us. Even with the unusually high winds, we had a great time in this cute house which had everything we needed (perhaps bring paper towels?). We had great direct beach access and wish the pier bar & grill had been open for the season! We will be back. Great location to nearby restaurants, and no wifi concerns. Parking was easy!

Great stay, the house is very conveniently located (50 feet to the beach, 0.5 mile to a Harris Teeter). There's some beach stuff (chairs, a beach cart, an umbrella, a few body boards). A few things to consider when renting this house:1. Bring a few knives. The ones that are there are super dull2. Bring spices, sugar, and salt 3. There's no AC in the smaller bedroom. Wasn't a problem for us, it wasn't very hot, and there's a large fan4. Wi-Fi signal is pretty weak (barely any in the backyard), but the speed is okOverall we've all enjoyed our stay a lot.

Getaway

I rented this house for myself and my cousin. Location for fishing was great. Right next to the pier. Short walk. I wouldn’t recommend the pier restaurant. Food was ok but the service was terrible. The pier was great.

Easy access to the beach

We enjoyed our stay at this property. It is not on the beach but it is steps away from the beach. There is no beach view from the property. However, the rental allows parking and easy access to the beach. George was very responsive. We enjoyed our stay.

Archaic Beach Bungalow

100 years old and remolded to modern perfection without taking away from the history. Remember it's archaic, so on chilly nights in the front rooms and kitchen you might have to put on a few more clothes. The bedrooms are cozy. Check the bed placements and sizes before you stay.

Beautiful beach!

House was old (as described) and a bit shabby but very clean. Even a few minimal upgrades would improve it immensely. However the price was right and the location for that price was great! The fishing pier with the restaurant/bar at the end was a bonus. Beautiful beach to walk. The weather did not cooperate with us - we were a week too early but you can’t change the weather!

About the host

Hosted by George

Host profile image
I began refurbishing the historic homes of Ocean View into nightly rentals in 2017 while studying mechanical engineering at ODU. I was at first unenthused with the vacation rental prospect, until I received my first thank you note and glowing review. The sense of reward while reading that Louis and his family from Germany had the vacation of a lifetime in the apartment I provided was overwhelming. It quickly became a full-time enterprise, and I now take pride in bringing this historic beach community back to life with updated vacation rentals. My other business pursuits include automotive restoration, luxury car rentals, and tactical sporting goods supply. When I'm not working, I enjoy fishing and exploring with my 6 year old daughter.

Why they chose this property

This property has a perfect location, only steps from Ocean View/Willoughby Beach as well as the bar and grill on the Fishing Pier, and a short drive from Chic's Beach, Virginia Beach Oceanfront, Downtown Norfolk, you will never run out of exciting activities.

What makes this property unique

Walk down a short path straight to the beach, without paying beachfront prices. This house also has a very peaceful, shaded backyard so you can get out of the sun.
