Bright and Beachy: 3BR Ground Floor Cottage 1 Block from the Beach - Private Parking + Private Yard

PETS CONSIDERED FOR A $100 FEE // FREE WIFI // MINIMUM AGE REQUIREMENTS TO BOOK // // PRIVATE PARKING // LINENS AND BATH TOWELS

Just one block (a 2-5 minute stroll) to the beach, this charming beach cottage is in the bustling residential neighborhood we call the north end. The house is about 1850 sq. feet, featuring three spacious bedrooms all located on one ground floor. The second floor of this house is occupied by an annual tenant, with a separate entrance for privacy. You have access to the entire first floor of the home, the garage, the back deck and fenced-in backyard.

Located at the Virginia Beach oceanfront, just one block from the beach on the corner of the feeder road, this house is a great choice for a group of 6 (or 8 if you'd like to use the queen air mattress) people. One block walking distance to the beach and close to the ARE and Seashore State Park, you really can't ask for a better location! This area of the beach functions at about the same pace throughout the year, whereas the lower south of the beach surges with crowds in the summer. Wide blocks welcome bike cruisers and allow for a more relaxed beach environment overall. However, if you want that downtown resort action, this house is a quick bike ride to the boardwalk and all the entertainment our area has to offer!

This beachy, bright home features hardwood floors, a working fireplace, charcoal grill, fenced yard, porch with a swing, table and chairs and a beautiful garden. You will enter the house through the front door to your left through the living area, a spacious and airy hang out spot for all. The back bedroom features two twin beds. The fully equipped and stocked kitchen is open and welcoming for many to gather while meals are prepared. The two other bedrooms are located toward the rear of the house, one double bedroom and a queen bedroom. There are two full baths in the house along with a nicely sized laundry room with a full-size washer and dryer. The garage is where you will find all the extras - beach essentials, beach cart, coolers, umbrella and bikes. We provide a starter pack of toilet paper, trash bags and paper towels. Guests are responsible for replenishing their supplies as needed.

There is a private driveway with room for 3 vehicles.

Some Important Points:

If you have booked a stay longer than 2 weeks, you will be responsible for providing your own bed sheets and bath towels as our linen rental company cannot cover this duration of time. For all short term rentals, we will provide your bed sheets and bath towels.

Please pay the pet fee if you are traveling with your four-legged family members. The fee is $100.

We offer concierge beach and bike equipment rentals if you need more than what is already provided. These rentals will be delivered to the house and picked up upon departure. We also offer baby equipment rentals if you don't want to haul the crib/pack n play, stroller, etc.

NO early check-in or late check-out during peak summer season (May through September)
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned vacation home, which features a fireplace. There's a private patio. A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, an oven, and a stovetop. Complimentary wireless internet access keeps you connected, and a DVD player is provided for your entertainment.
Enjoy recreation amenities such as a water park or take in the view from a garden. Additional amenities at this vacation home include complimentary wireless internet access, concierge services, and charcoal grills.
Guests will find features like wireless internet access and onsite parking.

Location is nice close to ocean
We enjoyed the location being a short walk to the ocean. Our issue was with the noise from the upstairs tenant, beyond their control. Because it is an older home you hear walking around, cabinets closing, doors etc. Normally this would not be an issue but because our travel was due to unexpected repairs on our home, we had our dogs with us. Our dogs were quite anxious with the noise making us cut our time in half leaving two days early. Although it is dog friendly, I would suggest leaving the pups at home if renting this location.

VB North End
A great location, large fenced yard, dog friendly. Older home so just be prepared for that. Lots of instructions / owners notes and cabinets / family photographs which is not typical for most vrbos in my experience. Mattresses could use an upgrade and no privacy in the twin bedroom. Really functional for our party of 4, and can’t beat the location / parking / yard

Great place to bring our dog. Had to walk across Atlantic Ave. to get to the beach, but it wasn’t a problem. Fun to people watch from deck as access road is busy with people taking walks and biking. Would stay again.

Clean, comfortable, and well equipped!!!
This place is adorable and was well organized and clean! I have back issues and the beds were outstanding. Super easy walk to the beach which wasn’t crowded in this area. Met the owner and you can feel the pride she takes in this sweet place. Would recommend a couple extra towels but not a huge deal, we just threw in the dryer to be able to use for our evening shower. Will absolutely look into staying again! Only con is that the property manager is horrible about responding. Question on vrbo was never answered, called with no answer or return call, emailed and got a response day of check in which was pointless. Responded and it was two days after before she messaged again. Not how I would want my property handled but thankfully for the owner, the property was still worth the inconvenience of the property manager.

Beach House
The location was great and so close to the beach. My only complaint would be that we had to strip our beds, take out the trash and make sure we ran the dishwasher. It makes me wonder why I paid so much for the cleaning fees. There was a broken tile on the bathroom floor that my mother cut her foot on but other than that it was a cute house with plenty of room.

Perfect for our family
4 adults and a toddler had a wonderful time at this rental. It was spacious, clean, and well appointed. We wish we could have stayed longer! The only thing we would have liked was an option for privacy for the twin bed room such as a room divider or curtain for the glass doors. Also 9am check out is very early! The homeowner is very nice and you will likely cross paths during your visit. We look forward to booking here again!

Such a cute seaside retreat
This place had everything we needed and then some. The house is very clean and the decorating is perfect for a seaside retreat. We met the owner Sharon and she couldnt have been nicer. My father walks with a cane and has difficulty getting around. He had no problems at all. We will definately check to see if this house is available for our next visit to see family in Virginia. Thank you for a lovely, memoral time.

Comfortable apartment near beach
This three-bedroom apartment is on the ground floor of a large house on the west side of Atlantic Ave. There is a quiet tenant upstairs. The house is a beautiful, older property that is well maintained. Lovely hardwood floors and baseboard moldings. Very nice deck and porch swing that look out over Atlantic Ave. The access road is between you and the busy road, so noise is not an issue. If you like the quiet north end of Virginia Beach this property is a good choice. One caution: The third bedroom has glass French doors off the living room so there is not much privacy for the folks in that room.

The Perfect Stay
We had to book a last minute stay because my husband was reenlisting in the military. We are so happy we found this home! The home was extremely comfortable and had enough room for my parents, my husband, my 2 year old daughter, and me. The home is in a great location, extremely quiet and a short walk to the beach. It is in a family-friendly area and we often saw families riding their bikes and walking their dogs. Major attractions were also close by. We went to the USS Wisconsin for my husband’s reenlistment and to the Virginia Zoo. I also would like to mention the decor. The home had a retro vibe with a teal theme throughout, which I absolutely love! We truly appreciate the thoughtful additions that made this rental feel like home. We would definitely like to stay again for a longer time and just relax on the back porch.
