Beautifully Renovated Home! 1 block from the Beach!!
This home and location were perfect! We came up from NC to send off our Navy man before he leaves us for 4 years! The home layout and backyard were just what we needed to fellowship and move all around the property! The home even came equipped with a game area so it made interacting while inside easy. It was clean and well furnished. We'll be back!

Not well appointed
This property was attractive at first impression but the devil is in the details. The beds in all three bedrooms were very uncomfortable. The bed linens were akin to Walmart blue light specials. The pillows were also limp but the towels were the worst; they were very thin, small and dingy white. They looked like someone had washed their car with them. The stove and kitchen countertops were greasy but the rest of the house was clean. The bathrooms need towel racks and hooks to hang towels and robes. The pups loved the backyard. The sunset was gorgeous and we loved the mockingbird that sung in the tree every morning. The neighborhood was quiet. This place could be great with some simple and hospitable upgrades.

We were in town for the air show and Richard’s place was perfect for us for the weekend. Close proximity to Virginia Beach, and a lot of good restaurants nearby! Would stay again

Amenities were lacking
The property is just as pictured. Only received one bath towel, one hand towel and two washcloths per person so I had to do laundry while on vacation. Most of kitchen equipment was broken or incomplete so we couldn’t cook like we expecting. There are great local restaurants. There was no all purpose cleaner provided or any paper products. The neighborhood is quiet. Easy walk to beach which was also pretty quiet.

Could Be Better
We had a nice time at our beach house vacation. Some of our favorite features were the wagon, beach towels, beach chairs and an umbrella. The fenced in yard for our dog, was also great. Overall, the house was nice but there were several disappointing features. The back door is filthy. The back screen door wasn’t aligned properly and the screen is ripped at the bottom. The MB bed was extremely uncomfortable and dipped into the center. It is def time for that mattress to be replaced. The mattresses in the other rooms seemed to be fine. There was dusting hanging off of the fan in the MB. The soap holder in one of the bathrooms is chipping and there is a small hole on the wall where a toilet paper holder was once hung. Bath towels were provided, but their quality was poor. The biggest turn off for me was discovering several pieces of long hair in them. The kitchen towels were no better. Every single kitchen towel was badly stained and/or dirty. I didn’t feel like I was using clean towels. The kitchen provides the bare minimum you need to cook and eat, however if you are planning to pack food to go to the beach or are looking to store leftovers, you will need to bring your own containers and/or ziploc bags. We weren’t able to get the electric BBQ started so ended up using the charcoal one. We were disappointed that we couldn’t the fire pit bc there was no wood provided for it. With some improvements, this house could be a fantastic vacation home!

Nice place, but cleaning needs more tending to...
This was a nice place for our family vacation. The owner was very easy to contact and responded in a timely manner. My only complaint was the cleanliness of the cottage. When we first arrived, the bathrooms didn't seem like they had been cleaned. I found hair in one of the showers and on the edge of one of the fur bathroom rugs. If it was sanitized, I couldn't smell that any cleaning products had been used. One of the trash cans located at the side door hadn't been emptied. Too many flies were around it which was a bit of a nuisance. Again, nice place, but the cleaning staff could have done a better job.
