The home was right on the beach as described, which is where I really wanted to stay. The home has great potential to be a wonderful place however the extremely weak flooring was terrifying to walk on, use the shower on and use the commode. My fiancée is a big man who is disabled and he was afraid he was going to fall through the floor.

The perfect quaint beach house in Ocean View. Me and my family, including our dog, had a wonderful stay that was peaceful. The beach wasn't crowded which was a bonus for us. The fishing pier next to the property allowed for the pleasure to watch the beautiful sunsets. While the fishing pier was open 24/7 during our stay, it was quiet and no riff raff. The host made sure to leave detailed notes about the property, things to do locally, and checkout instructions which weren't a mile long, which I've experienced in the past at other vacation rentals elsewhere in other states.
Our dog enjoying the beach.

Quiet Retreat

I thought the location was very convenient. You are on the beach and a 20 minute drive to downtown Norfolk. Parking can be tricky on the weekends because the parking lot is tight. I would recommend taking a smaller vehicle, like a 4-door sedan (Toyota Corolla).

Started as a pleasure

The process started great but unfortunately the owner has ensured that we will never return. Started with lack of communication in receiving our ESA paperwork to charging us a week later for not providing it. Our chats clearly stated he did not provide us an email to send it to. After he charged us and I reached out he states that emotional support animals are not service dogs. Clearly doesnt know the laws or understand that mental disease and mental trauma are realistic issues for quite a few people.

Beach access is wonderful

If you are looking for a place right on the beach, this is it. The house was clean, furnishings are older but you are on the beach. You are right next to a public fishing pier. Pier is busy as is the parking lot, so not a quiet place to stay. If noise doesn’t bother you, you will enjoy this beach house.

Overall was well below expectations

Location was great, but the property was not kept up, grass was overgrown and the outdoor furniture was disgusting. Inside was full of sand, I also found hairs that were clearly not mine or my spouse’s. I understand we were right by the beach but, there were tons of bugs, ants, and even roaches. Property owner was impossible to get ahold of via the app. He would respond and then we wouldn’t hear from him for days at a time. Garbage was not taken out before we got there, in fact, it was overflowing so much we couldn’t put our own garbage in there. We had to take the garbage out ourselves, nobody ever came to do so. We were there for close to two weeks, and it took until three days before we left for them to even cut the grass. The inside was not kept up, there were openings/holes next to the ACs for all types of bugs to get in, there were no proper blockages. The weather stripping around the doors was also missing or coming off. All sorts of bugs could get in that way as well. The work/repairs that you could tell were done previously, were done haphazardly. Overall this was NOT WORTH the money we spent. Other than the location, all was well below our expectations. We have stayed in the area many times, and never stayed in a place like this. Additionally, this was not the only house on the property, we spoke with our neighbors and they had many of the same complaints we did. Really disappointed!
