This 1 bedroom has room for 4 with a queen bed and sleeper sofa. Willoughby Spit is a great neighborhood to check out on foot or bike as there is water on both sides! Our side contains over 7 miles of uncrowded and awesome beaches with small waves right on the Chesapeake Bay. We are pet friendly by request. This home has a minimum stay of 30 days. The Space: Beach Construction Notice: The City of Norfolk will begin a sand replacement project on Toler Place and Willoughby Beach (from 11th View St to the terminal groin) in response to significant erosion from recent high tides. Work will take place Monday through Friday, from 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM, beginning in late May 2025 and continuing through late July 2025\. You will have to use the beach from 11th Bay and down to enjoy the beach. Please be aware that the impacted section of the beach will be closed during work hours but will reopen in the evenings and on weekends. Alternate access to the beach is available via 11th View St and other nearby entry points. Beach chairs are available. Guest Access: Our home is contactless, seamless and easy self check in. A code will be set for you and shared before your arrival. The Neighborhood: Tucked along Norfolk’s northern edge, the Ocean View neighborhood blends laid-back coastal charm with a strong sense of community and history. With nearly seven miles of Chesapeake Bay shoreline, Ocean View is where locals gather for beach bonfires, fishing off the pier, or evening walks as the sun sets over the bay. The neighborhood is known for its relaxed vibe—porch swings and crab boils, kids riding bikes to the water, and neighbors who still wave hello. Ocean View Avenue anchors the area, lined with unpretentious seafood joints, long-standing diners, and locally owned shops that have served generations. You’ll find live music on warm nights, community festivals, and a deep appreciation for life by the water. Whether you're paddle boarding at sunrise, grabbing a cold drink at a bayside bar, or just enjoying the view from your front steps, Ocean View offers more than just a beach—it offers a lifestyle rooted in simplicity, salt air, and a welcoming spirit you’ll feel right away. Getting Around: Easy access to main roads: I-64 & I-664, public transit with bus (Hampton Roads Transit) and train (Amtrak) Local Gems \- Ocean View Fishing Pier:The longest pier on the East Coast, perfect for casting a line or catching the sunset. \- Greenies Bar & Grill: A laid-back beachfront spot for fish tacos, cold drinks, and unbeatable bay views. \- Ocean View Station Museum: A charming stop where you can explore the neighborhood’s deep ties to rail, resort, and military history.
