Additional sleepers (little ones) can sleep on the couches if needed. We have high speed WiFi and a large 75 inch Smart TV for your streaming entertainment. This Historic property was originally built in 1950. It is one of the few original flat top houses that still survives in this Chesapeake Bay neighborhood. Everything is on one level. We have a large yard that can easily handle parking for multiple vehicles including boat or travel trailers. We have a beautiful fireplace and warm radiator heat that immediately takes away the chill. Our full size kitchen is stocked and ready to prepare your meals if dining in.

Our large kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need if you choose to prepare your own meals. If you have a boat or watercraft, bring it! We have plenty of parking space and are close to a very nice public boat ramp. Even with a thorough modernization the property is a historical home that is now over 70 years old. It has some eccentricities that reflect building standards and designs from the turn of the last century that lends to its charm as an older beach cottage. Our bathrooms are not as large as modern built, but even so, we hope that you will love our older and charming home. This is a Family/Residential unit and area. No loud music or noise.

Aug 8, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### We really enjoyed this property. We loved this property. Nothing fancy, but had everything that we needed. Very close to the beach, plenty of parking, we liked the little porch area that went around the property and the birds went crazy every morning in the trees that surrounded (which I enjoyed!) Our family visited daily while we were there, and I actually enjoyed the minimal decor. I didn’t have any fears of anything being knocked off or broken. Lots of really good local restaurants close by, which we enjoyed. Check in and check out we’re both very easy. My only recommendation would be to update the window treatments. They were all a little miss matched, and outdated, that’s just a personal preference, and would not keep me from staying there again. We loved watching the ships go out and the Navy helicopters. Great location and short distance to Norfolk airport. ##### Beth M. Stayed 7 nights in Apr 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### TAMMY H. May 8, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Awesome Stay Honestly very nice on the inside. (The outside could use some sprucing up or updating) but overall very nice on the inside, clean (which is very important to me), nice location, and spacious. You are right beside the public access to the water. So very close to the ocean. Our family had a great time and it worked wonderful for our family of 7. The only thing that I could say that you needed was small tv’s in the bedrooms and mirrors in the bedroom. With a big family like ours when it was time to get ready to go somewhere and you got a shower and got out and went to your room to get ready so the next person could get a shower. Mirrors would’ve been a big help doing hair and makeup. So make sure to bring a vanity mirror with you!! Other than that GREAT STAY!!!!! ##### TAMMY H.

Aug 14, 2023 Liked: Check-in, location Disliked: Cleanliness, communication, listing accuracy #### Disappointed to say the least The location was great, close to the beach. Besides the house being very run down, there were ants in the kitchen. i contacted the owners immediately and did not get a response until the next day. they said someone would be out to spray at noon, but no one showed up. The silverware, especially the potato peeler had food caked on it. It is advertised as a fully stocked kitchen, but was lacked essential cook/bakeware. There were no electrical outlets in the bathroom. The curtain rods were barely hanging, i tried to open curtains and it fell on me. Advertised to sleep 10, but additional charges apply for each person over the amount of 4. ##### Kelly M. Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kristina G. Oct 23, 2018 #### Perfect beach house! Great for groups! Clean and spacious We booked this place as my family was traveling here from the Midwest for my cousins wedding. I was worried just due to reading some mixed reviews but let me tell you I was impressed! You can tell George takes care of his homes. It is a very spacious clean and organized home right by the walkways to the beach! There’s two bed rooms with a bed and each with access to a bathroom. There’s two, equipped with shampoo soap and the SOFTEST toilet paper I’ve ever experienced in a VRBO. Then there’s a room with three twin beds in it. And the couches are super comfy as wel. The kitchen is stocked with nice pots and pans and utinsels. Like legit ones you’d want to use. George has games laid out you can play with family and the living room space is just amazing for gathering. There is no smell, just that of the ocean sea salt in the air! There’s no bugs and no dust. I stress a very clean comfortable space. Lots of amenities nearby if you forgot something or what Taco Bell. Easy on off highway access too. After staying here’s my family is honestly planning our return for next summer to stay st this place! Love it!! The last night we thought we had locked ourselves out and George was prepared to come save us! All around a GREAT experience! 10/10! ##### Kristina G. Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2018 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Mary H. Aug 7, 2018 #### More than disappointed The property was poorly maintained. There is minimal furnishing in the rooms, no dressers or night tables in the bedrooms. The bedding leaves a lot to be desired. Cheap quilts and sheets that barely fit the beds. The house has an order. The refrigerator does not have an ice maker. There is no central air system in the house, only individual units in two of the bedrooms and the livingroom. The third bedroom has only a fan. The place has absolutely no curb appeal, we parked on the unkept grass. The paint on the outside is pealing and dirty. There are overgrown shrubs surrounding the front of the house. The porch is enclosed with lattice boards that are broken and haven’t had a paint job in years. There is only one TV in the living room, with limited cable access. The kitchen furnishing were sparse, only one pot and one fry pan, for a house that accommodates 8 people. There is no fan or air conditioner in the kitchen, the garbage can, the only one in the house is very small, smaller than a 13 gallons size and cheap. There are cheap broken mini blinds at all the windows, no curtains. The front door is half glass with no blind or curtain. Passerbyers could look right in the house. The furniture in the living room is old and all mismatched, nothing coordinated. The shower curtains are cheap plastic, there is no counter space in the bathrooms, no place to put your toiletries. There are cheap ceiling fans in the rooms that were too small for the space, making them ineffective. There is new carpet in the place, but old area rugs were being used in front of the fake fireplace and in front of the mismatched sofas. The outside porch area is not clean, leaves are all over the place. There is an old picnic table in poor condition on the porch and two cheap grills, the 19.99 kind. All-in-all, this place was a total ripoff. I expected much more for the money I paid, is there a way I can get a partial refund?? This place is a total dump. ##### Mary H.

The side of the house that we stayed on was big! Had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The showers are on the small side but you just do what you need to do and get out. The location was great for us, just minutes from base and only about 30-40 mins from Virginia Beach. We visited the beach that was just a short walk from the rental and…. Well, I wouldn’t want to go there for a day at the beach… I will say that! If you are used to fancy, this place isn’t for you. This is a historical decent size house with everything you need to get by. We enjoyed our stay and Kathleen was easy to communicate with! Will stay again if available next time we come up! ##### Amber M. Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Diana H.

For a group of 7 (4 kids under 12 and 3 adults), this house was perfect for a few quiet days on Chesapeake Bay - lots of couch space for relaxing in front of a big TV, lots of table space for family dinner and playing board games, two clean and well-stocked bathrooms perfect for after water time, and quiet sleeping for resting up for the next day of fun! Easy access to the beach, which was quiet and clean for our stay (Mon and Tues) - calm water easy on little kids and lots of creatures to find (hermit crabs, fish, blue crabs, etc). ##### Diana H.

We had my parents and two kids and another family with an infant with us. The house is not modern but it has all the amenities you need. The beach was like having a private beach. No waves, because of the wave breaker rocks. Its literally 100 feet walk to the beach. The house does not have a view of the beach. The shower curtain was broken and the owner came and fixed it. We enjoyed the house...would recommend ##### Vivin K. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kathy S.

We had noticed the dryer knob to use the dryer was missing and she offered to come over and see what she could do. It’s located very close to a clean, private beach with beautiful sunsets and a quiet neighborhood. The outside of the building could use a little work but the inside was very clean and roomy. The beds were very comfortable and with 4 air conditioners throughout the house it was very comfortable to come back to after a day at the beach. The only recommendation we have is to provide a few more towels, washcloths (we had 5 adults with 7 of each) and dish towels (only 2). Overall it was a great place to stay!!! ##### Kathy S. Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### Marsha S. Jul 8, 2022 Liked: Check-in, communication, listing accuracy #### Short walk to beach The owners were very quick in responding to me. I was a little upset that we paid for early check in but could not check in until later because previous renters left late. The house cleaner worked as hard as possible to get things done because of the mess that was left by them! I was not pleased to see used toothbrush and razor in bathroom that was left by previous tenants so that is something that should be checked when cleaning. The kitchen is not fully stocked! We did not have full size forks to eat with do I purchased some. We had to buy 2 frying pans as well. Everything else was fine. There were some ants in kitchen so any spray is a necessity. That is to be expected though when by the beach! Having a nice grill to cook on would be a plus! The dude road to beach which is beside the house stayed full of cars with beach goers and it got loud on a couple nights. I want to thank Kathleen for responding to me when I sent messages. ##### Marsha S. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ted M.
