About this property
Norfolk Beach Cottage Rental
Welcome to our charming cottage right across the street from the beach! This beautiful home offers 3 bedrooms and 1 full bath. Downstairs bedrooms include a queen and full bed. There is a very narrow spiral staircase leading to the second floor where there are 4 twin beds and a gaming area for your children to enjoy. We provide all linens and 8 beach towels and 8 bath towels.
We are pet friendly for a pet fee of $100. Please confirm when booking so that we can approve your pet. There is a park in walking distance for your children and pets as well as the beach directly across the street. Our front yard is fenced in but it does not have a gate on it. We do get beach burs in the grassy areas sometimes during the year. We try and eliminate them but they are common at the beach.
You will feel right at home in our kitchen and bathroom with all appliances including dishwasher, coffee maker, pots/pans and dishware.
We have on-site parking for up to 5 vehicles, and a tranquil shaded back yard complete with a grill and picnic table all across the street from the beautiful Chesapeake Bay and beach.
If you are military or are interested in long term rentals during the winter, please let us know at 757-639-4855 and we can discuss potential arrangements.
Whether you enjoy crabbing, fishing, skim boarding, swimming in the Spring and Summer or walking through the historic district of downtown Norfolk in the Fall and coming back and cuddling up by the fire place, it's all here year round. What a wonderful place to just relax, shop or to find great adventure.
Here you will experience the most beautiful sunrises and sunsets with miles of safe beaches to stroll and play. You are certain to enjoy yourself in East Ocean View. Bring plenty of suntan lotion, and be sure to bring your boat, if you have one. Our local boat ramp and marina are just blocks away. Come and make memories that will last a lifetime! We look forward to seeing you
Whether you start your morning with your toes in the sand watching the sunrise with a cup of coffee or fishing off the beach, it is the perfect way to start the day.

- Washer & Dryer
- As a courtesy to our guests, we provide 1 Roll of paper towels, 1 roll of toilet paper, 1 trash bag, small bottle of dawn and 1 dishwasher tab. These will help you get started when you first arrive but you will need to bring additional supplies depending on the time you are renting including laundry detergent and toiletries.
- Fully equipped kitchen with stainless steel pots and pans, dish ware, glasses, and silverware to accommodate 6 guests
- Central heating and cooling system
-The hardwood flooring downstairs is original from the 50's. We had them sealed in 2022 but even after cleaning sand gets into the crevices. We do our best to clean the floor but it tends to still have sand from all the beach traffic on it even after cleaning. We mention this to be completely transparent so that if this would bother you then another beach home without original hardwood floors would be better for you. We don't want anyone unhappy and want to make sure we identify and communicate everything both positive and negative about our cottage.
-If you want a completely bug free experience for your vacation then a beach house is probably not the place to vacation. We employ a pest control company that comes several times per quarter and sprays outside and inside of home. Unfortunately bugs still get into our cottage and no matter how many times we have it sprayed some still come in between the treatments. We hate all bugs but cannot guarantee a bug free stay living at the beach. We would rather you choose a location that will guarantee no pests than to come to our cottage and be unhappy because of finding any types of pests as we can't treat any more frequently than we already do. Most of the time we don't have any but still on occasion they come back. We do not offer refunds because of pests.
- During the winter months from December to March we do offer long term rentals. If you are interested to rent during any times in these months please contract us at 757-639-4855 on rates.
_ Our cottage is located on the main beach road. Because we live across the street from the beach on this road, traffic can be heard. If you want complete privacy without any road traffic, I would recommend renting a home away from the beach and not right across the street from it as all the homes along the beach front are on the main beach road.

Booked for an overnight to Norfolk trip to a Tides game. Rental is exactly as described and very clean. Communication about rental, check-in (able to do early) was wonderful.
Great space, close to a great beach, loved that it’s pet friendly with space for our dog to run around, a good park within walking distance, and host was very communicative. Loved our time here!
The house was exactly as described. The hosts were easily reached by cell phone. It was a great place to spend a week with the beach just across the street. We had a great time.
Loved our stay! A great location for the price - a few steps away from a beautiful park and the beach plus just down the road for new shopping centers, restaurants etc. . Listing is accurate representation of the property so read thoroughly. It is off a main road (not a highway) but we knew that going in and brought some small white noise machines.
The beach house was exactly as listed. I would heed the information about road noise and the impact of street lights. Still, the beach was within walking distance, and the 6 of us fit in the space with ease. I would consider the space again in the future.
This house served our large family well. Within walking distance (across the road) to a public beach on the bay. The beach was never busy and great for walking and swimming. As others have said, downside is only one restroom but we were able to make it work.
This house is very practical for a large family. The only downside is having just one bathroom, which sometimes makes people wait in line :)) The proximity to the beach is great, and the beds are comfortable. Thank you!
5 Stars for close access (less than 5 min walk) to Ocean View Beach, public park next door with a Saturday Farmer's Market, outstanding water pressure in shower w/ nice nozzle.Cons were the tight driveway/rear parking (caution if you drive SUV/full size truck), house next door with abandoned vehicles in back yard, back yard trash dead fish odor, ceiling fans in bedrooms were broken, stairs to upstairs loft difficult to navigate for larger person (kids ok).Great value for our family and appreciated being able to bring our pets.
Overall the property provided what we needed... rooms and beds for 7 people. However it wasn't what we expected. We stay in STRs often when traveling and I own my own. The listing does a very good job of not showing the busy main street in front of the home and makes it seem like the beach and ocean are within view of the property. It also does not show the next door neighbor's property. We arrived late and it was dark, the listing has you go to the back of the house to gain access but there were not lights on. I would suggest either making sure the lights are on or get a motion sensor light at the least. I wasn't looking for a 5 star stay but it was very average for the price. We didn't have time to go to the beach but if we had then we would have to go down a block and then head North past multiple buildings before seeing the beach.

Response from VrboOwner on 22 May 2026
Thank you for your review for the overnight stay you had recently with us. We do live on the only beach road that exists in Ocean View which does mean that all traffic comes and goes from this road. The benefit for being on this road is that we are directly across the street from the beach with only a row of buildings between our cottage and the beach. You actually do not have to go down a block to go to the beach as there is beach access right across the street at the light one house down from ours. Once you cross over at that light you walk past one building and are on the beach. I am sorry that you did not realize this as the walk is short and the beach is beautiful.
We actually do have a light with a motion sensor in it for the back of the house and apologize that it was not working when you arrived. I did not realize that it was out. I will get another one ordered to put up in place of that one and appreciate you letting us know. Thanks again for your review as we take them very seriously and try to do our best to accomodate our guests needs. Thank you again and hope you have a great Memorial Day weekend! Ricky
This home was perfect for my husband's birthday trip. We booked the home for one night. The home was clean and looked as advertised. The host was easily available, if we needed anything. The only complaint we had was that as the temperature dropped outside, the home took longer than normal to heat up. I imagine this will not be an issue further into the warmer weather. Since it was just my husband and I staying overnight, we just moved a blanket from one of the other rooms. Other than that, we didnt have any issues during our stay. Parking in the back of the home was a tight squeeze due to the size of our vehicle and the narrow, shared driveway between the buildings, but there was additional parking across the street for our friends, when they stopped by. I would definitely book this home again! The home would be great for a family or a friend's-trip.

Liked: Check-in, communication, listing accuracy
Disliked: Cleanliness
The hosts were very communicative and welcoming before, during, and after our stay. The front yard was well lit, and good for taking our pups out at night. I was grateful to find somewhere available over Christmas that accepted two dogs. The kitchen was well-equipped and reasonably clean. This is a pet-friendy rental near the beach, the overall cleanliness of the unit was perhaps reflective of that. The house is right off of a busy road in a neighborhood with varied levels of upkeep.
Communication was amazing and host were so kind! Loved the short stay there!
