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!

Beautiful Beach Bungalow
We had a wonderful time at this beach bungalow. The home was lovely with extra amenities provided. The area surrounding was equally lovely. The trek to the beach was hot hot hot but perfect!! The crows nest was probably one of our favorite parts of the bungalow. We saw dolphins every morning!! If we decide to come back to Norfolk we would definitely consider staying here again!!

Perfect retreat
This was our second stay at the Beach Bungalow, and we loved it even more! This time we saw the dolphins and had amazing weather every day. We also visited Busch Gardens and Virginia Beach and had great meals at Longboards just down the road. Outlet shopping is also a short 15 minute drive. Best part is always relaxing on the beach and watching the sun rise and set each day. Our kids enjoyed boogie boarding and Lodi sing crabs with their flashlights. After a long day in the sun, The bungalow was cool and cozy, and we loved how the kids had their own bathroom and wing of the house. This time we met the owner Tom who was very friendly and helped us have the best family vaca. We will definitely return!

Great Location for Family Spring Vacation
The house is a perfect location for a family vacation. The beach is right there and the grocery store is just down the street. For rainy or cool days, the house is 30 minutes or less from museums.

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!

Private Norfolk Beach
We had a really nice stay. The place is somewhat dated in a not-so-great part of town. But it was awesome to have basically a private beach to ourselves on the calm water of the Chesapeake Bay.

Property is well taken care of. After a long day we enjoyed the iJoy chair for a massage, then the hot tub to top that off. Tom and Cate were very nice. View from the Crow's Nest is the perfect spot for waking with morning coffee.

Great little bungalow!
We had a great time at the bungalow. Perfect place for a family vacation. We felt so comfortable in the house. The beach was nice and clean. The water was calm being on the bay! There are so many nice day trips near by like Colonial Williamsburg and Virginia Beach. House was clean, the hot tub is older and missing some parts but still worked and was comfortable on the colder nights!
