This unique bungalow is your home away from home situated on an UNCROWDED stretch of beautiful beach on the Chesapeake Bay! Our beach faces north giving us beautiful sunrises to the east view from the private deck and amazing sunsets to the west from the beach view.

Open floor plan from kitchen to living room and patio doors to the beach. Large private deck overlooking the Chesapeake Bay, BBQ grill, outdoor hot tub, and two sit-on-top kayaks on the property make this the perfect beach hot spot!!!

Study/Work Note: There is a rolltop desk and chair near patio door which can accommodate the need to work or do schoolwork while on vacation.

Comfortably sleeps up to six people in any combination of adults and children with one queen size bedroom, one full size bedroom, and one bedroom with a trundle bed that expands to two twin beds. The peach bedroom is off the kitchen and connects to yellow bedroom and second bathroom.

ADA Note: While the living area is all one level, there are 6 stairs up to the front porch. In addition, no doorways are 36" wide and cannot accommodate a wheel chair. No ADA handrails are located at the property.

House Rules: Must be 25+ to rent, no parties/events, no pets, no smoking.

BabyGear: the bungalow does not have baby specific gear. Consider lightening your load by renting what you need locally!

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!

Perfection!
What a beautiful beach bungalow right on the beach! Perfect get away location from the hustle and bustle of every day life. The beach is right out the door and so peaceful. Dolphin watching from the crows nest was my favorite way to enjoy my morning coffee. Bungalow was well equipped. Couldn’t have been any better!

Relaxing getaway!!
We had a wonderful stay at the beach Bungalow this week! The house was so nice, clean and had everything that we needed for our stay. Our favorite part was having the private beach access , which was especially nice and convenient with our little ones. Tom and Cate were great, and were quick to respond to any questions that we had. Thank you for a great time, and we hope to return for another stay in the future!

A wonderful beachside getaway
The beach bungalow was clean, well managed, and had everything we needed for our stay. 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!

The "great" and The "could have been better for us"...
The great: * Location - quiet, easy and short walk to beautiful empty beach * Nice, clean house which was well-appointed with cooking and beach items * Washer and dryer were great * Parking was easy and convenient * Ice maker easily kept up with demand * Loved the dolphins The "could have been better for us": * Cameras - installed in front of house (common and understandable), but also off the back of house which made our teenage girls uncomfortable walking to and from the beach in their bikinis knowing they were being recorded. Creeped them out and we hardly used the back deck to hang out on feeling we were always being watched and listened to. * Beds were not comfortable * Pillows were lacking in number and very flat - we ended up purchasing our own halfway through the week * After departure, we were charged $150 to replace 5(!) complete sets of towels because daughter accidentally used a white washcloth to wipe her non-waterproof mascara on instead of the black washcloth she was supposed to. We don't have a problem at home getting washcloths clean... This was something we have never experienced in the dozens of hotels, rentals from other companies and vrbo's we have stayed in over the years...

Relaxing Week at the Beach
Our favorite spot was sitting up on the deck at night watching for dolphins and ships in the bay. We spend mornings on the beach relaxing and fishing (caught spots, white perch and flounder). Piglet was bonus, he's a sweet cat that came around for food and company. This place is quiet for being on a busy road. It's an ride around Norfolk and to Virginia Beach. We recommend Watermans for the Crab Ripper sandwich and an orange crush.

Nice stay
You can’t beat these views from the crows nest and the easy and private beach access! The beach is calm and relaxing. Hosts were lovely. The bungalow is nice and quaint and as described — the kitchen was especially nice. Extra large washer and dryer were great to have during the week. Beach cat Piglet is adorable. Our only complaint is the mattresses, particularly in the green room and peach room were not very comfortable. Otherwise this place was wonderful.
