The beach
Very short walk to the beach. Did not have the noise from the airbase. Very quiet. Clean and comfortable.

Perfect spot for a getaway with our two mini labradoodles. Very clean, very well represented in the listing, and wished we had booked 2 weeks. If the beach was any closer we would have been sleeping on it.

Perfect spot to enjoy Virginia Beach
We were in VA for a sporting event for my son. Three kids and two adults. This was the perfect spot away from the busyness of downtown Virginia Beach. Only a short 7 minute drive there when we wanted to grab a coffee or a meal. Having easy access to the beach was amazing! Will stay again!

Property was perfect for our family of 4 & pup! The kids and dog loved the beach, which was so close! Also enjoyed First Landing State Park, and several restaurants in town...Definitely would come back! Cottage is well equipped, and beds are very comfortable...

Dog friendly and close to the beach!
Nice clean and just the right size for a family of 5 with 2 dogs. The tile floors and fenced in yard are great with pets. You don't have to cross a busy road to walk to the beach so one less thing to worry about with 3 kids and 2 dogs. Beach supplies are in the shed so no need to worry about bringing them with you. We enjoyed our stay and are already planning to coming back!

Absolutely amazing!
It was such a great space and so convenient to everything going on! We had such an amazing time and absolutely loved the amenities and perks that the space provided. The owner was so sweet and sent a message that we were able to get in a little earlier which was super convenient since we had a little puppy with us so it made it much easier to go drop him off before heading out. Will definitely stay again!

New Year's Eve Weekend Christmas Gift
The bungalow was right on Atlantic Blvd. so it was a quick drive into downtown VA. Beach and the Boardwalk but it was also just a block walk to the beach which was perfect since the North End is a bit quieter and absolutely beautiful. The fenced front yard was great for our dog to run around in and the location is just a few blocks from a huge State Park that was a lot of fun to explore. The bungalow was clean, colorful and fun. I would recommend it highly!

Second stay-looking forward to more!
This property had everything we needed for our stay with our 4 y/o, 11mo old, dog, & my spouse. We love how close it is to the beach, & a short drive from everything we needed (groceries, delicious coffee at Fathom). The outdoor shower and hose were very convenient to rinse off after our play in the sand. They had beach equipment in the shed but we only used the umbrella once, which was in great shape! Note they do not have a bathtub so it was baby’s first shower! (We all survived ;) ) Great home cozy enough for our family of four humans + dog. Thanks for another amazing stay!

Lovely house
This very cute duplex is a very close walk to a nice beach area. This time of year (October) it was practically deserted. It was still nice outside..upper 60’s/low 70’s. The house was clean and tidy and really adorably furnished. There are 3 bedrooms and plenty of room for a duplex. We had four people and didn’t feel like we were on top of each other. There is also a completely fenced front and back yard, so we felt safe bringing a pet with us. It was easy to communicate with the owners, and they responded promptly to questions or comments. We would definitely consider renting this house again when we return to Virginia Beach. 💜

Great renter by all accounts, I missed the 5 star review for following guest rules, should have been a five, We will get the grill issue corrected, had I known while you were here I would have brought you a new one or corrected issues with the old one, we provide our phone numbers direct to get issues resolved quickly..thanks for the 5 star review…

We rented this property when we came to Va Beach for my daughter’s wedding. The place was great! Close to the beach and all the amenities we needed. Hosts were very responsive to questions.

It was a great place to stay very pet friendly
Was great , just if your dog thinks any open gate is their freedom then don’t leave them in the yard unattended the yard is a shared yard and it’s also beach access for others the signs ask to close gate but the one wooden doesn’t latch without pulling up and if the person didn’t know your dog can easily push it open other than that it was a great place

nice spot on the North End
Modest accommodations but perfect for what we were looking for -- near best beach in VB, dog friendly, 3 rooms. Everything was set up nicely and in great shape with new appliances. Very user friendly, very dog friendly. Nice fenced in front and rear yard. We love the North End beach and was super easy to get to without crossing Atlantic Ave for our morning and evening dog walks. Would stay again.

Excellent location, amazing for dogs!
The house was in a perfect location. Very close to the beach - we walked the two minutes for sunrise every day of our stay. As a runner, it was amazing to also be so close to the First Landing State Park. I ran there every day of our visit, and they were some of the best trails I have ever run on. The home was perfect for our dog, Drake. He absolutely loved laying in front of the electric fireplace and running around off leash in the fenced in front and back areas. The chairs for the beach were wonderful to have as well as the linens and towels inside. I only have a few comments for improvements - the propane grill did not work which was unfortunate as we wanted to grill and enjoy the area in the back for a barbeque. The back outdoor area was nice, but it could have been just a bit cleaner. We absolutely loved the cute decor inside, but the couches were very uncomfortable to sit on to watch a movie or relax for any extended period of time. Overall, we absolutely loved our stay. Thank you for having us!

Lovely Little Beach Home
Nice home just close enough to the VB boadwalk but far enough to be in the quieter section of town. The beach was less than a 5 minute walk. It was great to sit on the beach and watch the red moon. The interior of the home was well furnished. Plenty of towels were provided. Beds were comfortable We really enjoyed our stay.

great beach house
This was our second time staying here. The house is clean and welcoming to humans and dogs alike. Perfect location for anyone who wants a vacation on the quiet / peaceful side but easy drives to activities and restaurants. Lovely and quick walk to the beach. One of the many reasons we went back this year is because we met the owner, Jeff, last year and he was really nice, cool and responsive / fixed something that wasn't working right away. We ran into him a couple times this year and had a great time talking to him. So... great beach house, location and owner! Would go back one day for sure.
