Historic Coastal Haven- Pet Friendly Fast Wi-Fi - Easy Beach and Highway Access
Nestled in the delightful Ocean View area, this charming renovated 1915 beach house is the epitome of coastal living splashed together with all the modern day conveniences. Picture this: a two-story haven, fully furnished, renovated, and decorated to tickle your beachy fancy.
Downstairs, there's a queen bedroom and a full bath, making it the perfect spot for early birds who like to catch the sunrise. Upstairs, you'll find two more bedrooms and another full bathroom, ensuring that everyone has their own slice of beachfront paradise. All bedrooms have wall mounted RokuTVs, blackout cellular shades, dressers, mirrors and closet space. The bedrooms upstairs each have their own dedicated work spaces.
But what's a beach house without a kitchen that can whip up feast to rival the local restaurants? Fear not, our gourmet kitchen is here to impress. Stainless steel appliances galore! We're talking a fridge with an ice maker, a microwave, stove/oven, and even a dishwasher. And as if that's not enough, we've stocked it with gadgets that'll make you the beach house chef extraordinaire a griddle, waffle maker, coffee pot, slow cooker, and a Keurig for those caffeine cravings. Plus, there's a propane grill in the backyard for those summer cookouts.
When you're not whipping up culinary masterpieces, head to the east-facing front porch. Grab a seat on the comfy patio furniture, sip your coffee, and watch the sunrise; it's a show worth getting up early for.
Not a morning person? Roll up the garage door out back and have a seat on some of the comfy lounge furniture while enjoying an afternoon cocktail.
You'll find the home just a shell's throw away from the beach (.8 miles to be exact) and if you ever find yourself in desperate need of snacks or sunscreen there's a grocery store just as close, so you can replenish your beachcombing essentials with ease. Grab some of the supplied beach chairs and towels and enjoy FREE parking right next to the beach access or hop on one of the bikes and take a cruise. Uber and Lyft are also readily available throughout Norfolk.
Did we mention the Ocean View Golf Course? The house is so close to the nearby golf course that I once hit a hole-in-one while making a sandwich in the kitchen!
But wait, there's more! For those days when you want to venture beyond the beach, interstate 64 is your trusty sidekick, providing you with smooth access to all the hot spots, military bases, hospitals, and tourist attractions. Your mission, should you choose to accept it: explore, relax, and enjoy.
Across the street, we've got you covered for entertainment and snacks: a city playground for the kids (or the inner child), a dog park for your furry friend, and a 7-11 convenience store for those late-night cravings. There's also a fantastic pizza shop and coffee shop in walking distance. It's like having your very own amusement park, right at your doorstep!
Parking? We've got it covered! Your vehicle can rest securely on the property driveway, or you can take advantage of the ample on-street parking available.
Laundry day? No problem! There's a washer and dryer right upstairs for your convenience. There's also ironing boards, lint rollers and hair dryers to keep you looking pretty! Plus, a detached garage to stow away your beach gear, bikes and personal belongings.
You'll enjoy blazing-fast 1GB speeds courtesy of Cox cable, ensuring that your streaming and video calls are smooth sailing. So you can snuggle the family up in the den to stream your favorite shows together or let everyone sit back with their own devices and watch reels for hours on end. Not a techie family? Unplug and pick a game from a variety of provided board games and puzzles.
Before you set sail for this coastal haven, a few notes:
- We're all about dogs here! Cats, birds, reptiles, and other critters will have to find their own beach. Just make sure your canine companions have their flea/tick care in check.
- We've got the grill and the tank ready for action, but we don't do propane babysitting. If the tank empties out, Harris Teeter on Ocean View Avenue or the Food Shop on First View Street is your propane pit stop.
Now, what are you waiting for? Grab your beach towel, sunglasses, and a sense of adventure, and let's make waves at this charming beach house.

We had an amazing time visiting Norfolk. This place was very clean and has all the essentials needed if you want to do any cooking. There were plenty of stores/restaurants close by. Highly recommend this place! Would book again if ever in the area.
We really enjoyed the accommodations. Roomy and comfortable for our large family. The location is perfect for navigating the area. The home has essentials and there is a 7/11 convenience store within walking distance for anything you might need in a pinch.
We arrived later than expected and getting into the house was easy! The house is small, but cute! The kitchen has been redone and is very nice, with everything you could possibly need including a cute coffee area. Everything was very clean and organized! The bathrooms
This was a great place to stay based on our needs! We were able to gather as a family. Enjoy our sailor and his family. Because our guest was welcoming to dogs, my son was able to bring his dog while we gathered as a family. The living area was perfect for our group. We had the best time as was able to celebrate as a family in a comfortable environment. We had everything we needed to cook, coffee was available and space was perfect and we all enjoyed this place.
Thank you!
The house was wonderful. The host took so many extra steps from coffee and all kinds of extras for the kitchen; there is a crock pot and mixer. There were spices and seasonings provided for all our needs for cooking. They provided beach chairs and towels and sandcastle making toys for kids. There was laundry detergent provided in the laundry room. This made it so convenient to take home clean clothes. We cannot say enough about neat the extras were. These hosts really thought of everything. You just need to bring your clothes and any food.
We visited from Florida for a long Easter Weekend with our son and his family, and pup. The house is so stocked all the way from paper towels, trash bags to spices and comfy blankets for lounging on the couch. The house was clean, smelled wonderful and was roomy enough both inside and out for an extended family dinner. The neighbors were great and accommodating for an extra car or two during our family dinner. The outside back yard area was perfect for Ziggy (a corgi) and the outdoor garage area converted into such a nice sitting spot to visit while we grilled. Oh and the grill worked great! 7-11 within walking distance and grocery store hardly a stone's throw away. Thank you for an amazing stay. You're on our list to visit again!!!

Nice neighborhood. Very walkable to so many things. At no fault to the host, lots of fireworks on July 5th going well into the wee hours of the morning.
I recently had the pleasure of staying at this quaint and cozy . The host was incredibly hospitable, providing clear instructions and helpful tips to ensure our stay was enjoyable. They were responsive and accommodating, adding to the overall exceptional experience.
This was such a great rental spot. I’m so glad that we found it. The check-in process was so easy and I love the owners messaging and information. Of all the homes I’ve rented this was the most well stocked home - down to laundry and bath supplies to beach chairs and towels. I really appreciated the coffee and creamer, especially! We truly could’ve enjoyed more time, but will be back! The neighborhood felt very safe and I even loved just sitting out front and admiring the magnanimous trees on the street.
Host was on point when we called house was good a few things need repaired nothing major house was treated for insects but application didnt have full chance to work fleas still in lower bed room just thought fir the price the house would be more top notch front door hinge off
The home was perfect for our group. We were in town for an event at Naval Station Norfolk located only a few minutes away. The home was very clean. Everything on the inside of the house was comfortable, and the kitchen was well stocked. The backyard lounge area had some older chairs that needed some TLC, but it really didn’t matter for us. The listing does say that there’s a hot tub on site, there unfortunately is not. It was not a factor for us in renting the property though. Getting in and out of the house was super easy using our code. If you decide to park in the driveway, it is very very tight. So if you’re bringing multiple cars, definitely plan on street parking. Overall, the house was perfect for what we needed and reasonably priced. I would stay there again.
