The beach was just a few steps away, and we were able to utilize the chairs, beach toys, and kayaks that the owners provided for us. Everything was neatly organized for us upon our arrival including a book with suggestions of places to eat and activities to do during our stay. The friendly house cat Piglett was a joy to spend our mornings with while we had our morning coffee in the crows nest. Would definitely recommend! ##### Laura M.

This time we saw the dolphins and had amazing weather every day. We also visited Busch Gardens and Virginia Beach and had great meals at Longboards just down the road. Outlet shopping is also a short 15 minute drive. Best part is always relaxing on the beach and watching the sun rise and set each day. Our kids enjoyed boogie boarding and Lodi sing crabs with their flashlights. After a long day in the sun, The bungalow was cool and cozy, and we loved how the kids had their own bathroom and wing of the house. This time we met the owner Tom who was very friendly and helped us have the best family vaca. We will definitely return! ##### Kathy K. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mark K.

All 4 of our grandkids loved the fact that we could walk out a short distance to our own beach. I did have to contact the owner just once about a small matter with a door and he took care of it in short order. Overall it was a great week even with having to deal with a couple days of rain. ##### Mark K. Stayed 7 nights in May 2022 ### 4/10 Poor #### Tabbitha M. Jul 15, 2025 Liked: Check-in Disliked: Cleanliness, location #### Renter Beware This was my second time staying at this beach bungalow. What brought me back was the location to the beach and the privacy the beach offers. The cons out weight the pros. The owner showed up several times. Once talking to my teenage daughter on the porch(which made her uncomfortable) then he came down on one of our beach days to talk to us. There is a ring camera on the back door that obviously shows anything you are doing on the porch or back area, again making my teenage daughter uncomfortable. I understand the front ring door bell but the back is unacceptable to us. The furniture in the listing is not the same that is in the house. It is there is very uncomfortable.The beds in the peach and yellow room are uncomfortable and the 2nd bed (not in pic) is on wheels and does not stay in place The small bathroom off the peach room had a dirty shower(mold), needs a deep cleaning. The refrigerator has a check out list they ask you to follow. Temp 75, fans on, and lights off. We did all of these things and was told be barely did anything. After reading the contract that was signed a year ago other things are listed as “housekeeping procedures” NOT check out list. Not only does the fridge say check out list but the owner called it a check out list on his beach visit with us. So BEWARE the list does not list all he wants done. We were also accused of breaking some of the dishes and staining a sheet, the owner did not supply any proof of this. ##### Tabbitha M. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Matthew P. May 7, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A great relaxing getaway location! We really enjoyed the Beach Bungalow during our stay. The property was clean and very well organized. It was exactly the way it is described and looks in the pictures. We only used the beach chairs and umbrellas, but there were many other pieces of beach equipment on hand. Our favorite part was the view from the Crow's Nest. It was very relaxing to sit up there every morning and evening taking it all in! The location was great as it was a nice central location between the areas we went to from Virginia Beach to Williamsburg. My wife just adored the cat, Piglet, and watched for him every morning to feed him. Piglet is so sweet and is very comfortable around people. He would follow us up to the Crow's Nest and sprawl out on the deck at our feet. We had no problems during out stay, but it was reassuring to know that the owners, Cate & Tom, were just a phone call away. We would highly recommend the Beach Bungalow to anyone looking for a place in this area to relax, unwind, and spent time at the beach! ##### Matthew P. Stayed 7 nights in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sara H. Jul 16, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great Location The location of this property is absolutely phenomenal for families with young children. The beach is literally steps away from the house. We appreciated the added amenities of the kayaks for something different to do in the ocean as well as the shed full of beach chairs and toys. The crow’s nest was fun to use early in the morning or late in the evening when the temperature outside was cooler. The house itself worked well for our family’s needs, though it had a difficult time maintaining its temperature despite outside doors not being opened. It was a little challenging to wrangle our toddler into the shower (as the house has no tubs), but we were aware of this prior to our booking. The washing machine was huge which was super helpful for doing laundry mid-week. Also, we appreciated the lack of knick-knacks for decoration as they can be a problem with kids. For future renters: 1) the cabinets were well stocked with spices, 2) there are no extra blankets, 3) there is limited space in the bathrooms to store personal items, 4) the blinds do not block out sunlight completely. ##### Sara H.

Dear Cate and Tom, Reason being I have held off writing a review is purely selfish. I'm afraid that people will read this and book all of the times available so that we can not get in again in the future! Not sure where to begin but here goes- The pictures of the "Beach Bungalow" are exactly the way it looks in person. Talk about immaculate. We were all very impressed with the details exuding hominess and the cleanliness as well. When they say there is everything there for a worry free vacation they mean it. We loved waking up and making breakfast, lunch and then grilling up dinner. The massive private beach is only a 30 second walk. We were happily surprised that the sand/dunes is literally right outside of the beach door. Doesn't show that in the pics on VRBO. While the beds could use a little upgrading we didn't have much trouble sleeping soundly after spending the day on the beach. We left behind some spices and cooking oils that we brought but felt compelled to leave them for the next lucky vacationers there. Cate and Tom, it was a true pleasure meeting you on our last day as we were packing up to depart. Your warmth and charm in your bungalow is obviously a reflection of yourselves. I would like to make a few suggestions: Applying window treatments in the yellow guest room. The way the sun settles it is sometimes too bright (nap time), and it does get very warm in there. The window treatments on the parlor windows would be perfect in there! Next, being foodies we are used to sharpen knives. Perhaps a knife sharpener? Also perhaps a small household hammer (nails needed to be hammered in on the picnic table next to fire pit). You may also want to check out little hidden wasps nest up in the corner of the eaves downstairs and up. Saw a couple but nothing that we were bothered with. All in all, everyone of us was blown away with your beach bungalow and yes Cate and Tom, we will be back! If there's any availability after this review.... gosh darn it! ##### Tamara D. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2017 ### 4/10 Poor #### Kristin Y. Aug 9, 2025 Liked: Check-in Disliked: Cleanliness, communication The location on the private beach with the crow's nest was nice, but we definitely would not stay here again. The place is old and needs a lot of updates and a deep cleaning. The sheets were stained, there is what appears to be mold in the bathroom and closets, and everything was sticky/dirty/needs replaced. There are webs and live/dead spiders, including in the cabinet where the pots are kept. Large piano and desk in the small living area that were locked and not able to be used even upon request. It made the small space feel even smaller and clunky. Kitchen is lacking cookware. Significant delay in response from host when messages were sent. ##### Kristin Y.

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. ##### Jill B. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Krista P.

It’s always a pleasure to stay in the area, would love to retire in VA. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/50d607f9-3caf-45d4-85bf-e823362e43a0-1753545840511.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/07fdc168-3675-4a2e-bddd-bfff17ef59bf-1753545787494.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/0fd136ec-1042-4d5e-90bb-7b5b6d8cf2d5-1753545816150.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/e2e19d8a-39fd-48ef-b2f9-ca82c81656b6-1753545828929.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Krista P.

Right on the beach, which is never crowded, and close to all the attractions in Virginia Beach, Norfolk, and surrounding areas. I love staying in a house with my family instead of a hotel room. This place gives us the ability to have our own spaces. After seeing the families lugging gear from their hotels to Virginia Beach, it just proves how wonderful this house is. Just down the steps and out to the beach! Nice beach chairs in the shed that are easy to carry. A beach wagon to help carry coolers or other supplies makes it so easy. Had a nice chat with Tom on the beach and he was so nice to give us a gift card for pizza dinner! Such a nice surprise that made move in day dinner so much easier. This house is worth every penny and we can’t wait to go back again! Thanks Tom!! ##### Deidre L. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Elif U.

Virginia Beach Bums 2024 Tom & Cate made it a wonderful experience for our family vacation!!! Excellent communication and the home was well stocked. Only missing item was a pizza cutter, but we made due! The beach was relaxing and clean, we were able to see Dolphins, and we were super happy to be able to do our laundry as needed. I recommend bringing your own laundry detergent, as I’m allergic to what was provided. We will definitely be back!!! Loved every minute of our stay!!! Thanks again!!! ##### Krista P.

The weather was great and the water was cool and warm at some times so u can just jump right in. Tom and Catherine were awesome hosts. We didn't get to see Piglet but we did see the dolphins. Thanks again. ##### W. M. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Karyn G.

The home was lovely with extra amenities provided. The area surrounding was equally lovely. The trek to the beach was hot hot hot but perfect!! The crows nest was probably one of our favorite parts of the bungalow. We saw dolphins every morning!! If we decide to come back to Norfolk we would definitely consider staying here again!! ##### Karyn G.
