About this property

Summary:
Toes in the sand through your private beach access! Sojourn welcomes you to this gorgeous 2 bedroom, 1 bath beach apartment, newly appointed and renovated.

This home sleeps 5 with 2 fantastic King beds, TV's in every room, feather duvets and pillows, a fully appointed kitchen, giga blast wifi and sweeping panoramic views of the Chesapeake Bay with epic sunsets.

The Space:
Beach Construction Notice:
The City of Norfolk will begin a sand replacement project on Toler Place and Willoughby Beach (from 11th View St to the terminal groin) in response to significant erosion from recent high tides. Work will take place Monday through Friday, from 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM, beginning in late May 2025 and continuing through late July 2025. You will have to use the beach from 11th Bay and down to enjoy the beach.
Please be aware that the impacted section of the beach will be closed during work hours but will reopen in the evenings and on weekends. Alternate access to the beach is available via 11th View St and other nearby entry points.

We include free Netflix and Hulu for every TV. Beach chairs and towels are provided. We are pet friendly with a $450 pet fee. Please note and confirm you have read this. A new deck is being put on this building. This may cause concern for noise.

The Neighborhood:
Tucked between the Chesapeake Bay and Willoughby Bay, Willoughby Spit is a quiet, quirky peninsula in Norfolk with a charm all its own. This relaxed waterfront community is known for its stretch of uncrowded, sandy beaches, where locals and visitors alike stroll with coffee at sunrise and gather for golden-hour swims. You’ll find a mix of classic beach cottages, salty shacks, and new builds, all steps from the shore. Willoughby locals are fiercely loyal to their slice of coastal life — where crab traps are common yard décor, beach chairs stay out year-round, and everyone knows the best spot for a fried shrimp basket (hint: it’s probably across the street at the Willoughby Fish House).

Life here moves with the tide: morning walks on 13th View Beach, paddle boarding through the calm bay waters, casting a line off Harrison's Fishing Pier, or biking to Ocean View’s farmer’s market. Evenings often end with toes in the sand, a drink in hand, and the sight of Navy ships gliding toward the horizon. Staying in Willoughby Spit means trading traffic for sea breezes, and schedules for sunsets — a true locals’ beach escape that still feels undiscovered.

Getting Around:
Easy access to I-64, Hampton Roads Transit, close to marinas and scenic routes ideal for biking or boating

Local Gems:

- Willoughby Spit Beach: Quiet sands and calm bay waters, perfect for locals

- COVA Brewing Company: A laid-back spot for coffee by day, beer by night

- Ocean View Fishing Pier: Catch dinner or just enjoy the view over open water

Great vacation spot with younger kids

My family enjoyed our stay here very much. We have a 1 and 2 year old and the shallow water and smaller waves of the bay behind the house was fantastic for them. We spent every morning playing in the water and sand. Then the evenings we would walk the beach and enjoy the beautiful sunset.

Bugs and Mildew

Unit was hot when we arrived as windows left open, extremely mildewy and bugs were on the beds and ceilings. Big spiders in kitchen and water pressure in shower horrible. Photos do not convey what’s inside. Responses from property manager was very timely.
