We had a wonderful, relaxing vacation at the Beach Bungalow. Everything was perfect and easy. No complaints at all. Having a place that was right on the beach was amazing. The views from the deck were so beautiful. Great location with so many restaurants close by. You can’t go wrong. Have to see it to believe it.

Very cozy and comfortable property with privacy. Convenient location, with incredible views. A great place to spend time with family and not be in the middle of typical beach towns. Bay side, so waves were small and kids can have a lot of fun in the sand and sun. We would definitely book here again in the future.

The house was clean and welcoming. The location was perfect for a quiet and relaxing beach vacation. There were not a lot of people on the beach and you felt like you had it all to yourself. Tom was extremely helpful and was quick to respond when there were any questions. I would stay here again if I ever come back to the area.

The most relaxing week!

We had a wonderful time at the beach bungalow! The highlight was the beach, it was lovely and calm most days but we did get a couple days with great waves! We spent most of our week relaxing on the beach and in the water. Tom was a great host and very quick to respond when we had a question. We couldn’t have ask for a better place to relax with our kiddos.

We absolutely enjoyed our vacation at the Bungalow! This is our second year and will plan another. Our host is wonderful. Checks in and replies to concerns. He made a few upgrades from last year and we definitely noticed them! This area of the Bay was my childhood vacation spot. It’s always a pleasure to stay in the area, would love to retire in VA.

The house was comfortable and clean and the owners were kind and accommodating. It was so nice being right on the beach and we had great views from the top deck. Location was close to the airport and local attractions. We were about 1/2 hour drive from Virginia Beach. Great place to relax on your own private beach.
