Cozy Historic Beach House only Steps Away from Beach and Fishing Pier!

This well-equipped, historic 2 bed/1 bath house has semi-private beach access on the beautiful Chesapeake Bay and is located next to the Ocean View Fishing Pier and rooftop bar and grill!
It is about 1000 square feet in size, and has 1 queen size bed, 2 twin size beds, and a queen sofa bed in the living room. Fast WiFi, 50” smart TV in the living room and 40" smart TV in the main bedroom. Window AC units for air conditioning and each room is heated with thermostat controlled infrared units. It is within close driving proximity to Virginia Beach Oceanfront, Chic's Beach, Downtown Norfolk, Old Dominion University, and Christopher Newport University.
The house sits only about 100 feet away from the beach, with a short path from your backyard past my other rental house to access the beach. There are no steep dunes or stairways to navigate, no streets to cross, and the access is not shared with the public.
Housebroken and well-behaved pets are allowed with payment of the pet fee. This property will be deep cleaned and sanitized between every reservation. This is a recently acquired property and will be continually improved with summer profits.

Beach Cottage
The place was clean and well kept, the building is starting to show its age, and needs a few maintenance items like weather stripping, to help with the wind off the ocean. Other than that, we enjoyed our stay and would recommend.

Beautiful beach!
House was old (as described) and a bit shabby but very clean. Even a few minimal upgrades would improve it immensely. However the price was right and the location for that price was great! The fishing pier with the restaurant/bar at the end was a bonus. Beautiful beach to walk. The weather did not cooperate with us - we were a week too early but you can’t change the weather!

Wonderful getaway
This was a wonderful little getaway for us. Even with the unusually high winds, we had a great time in this cute house which had everything we needed (perhaps bring paper towels?). We had great direct beach access and wish the pier bar & grill had been open for the season! We will be back. Great location to nearby restaurants, and no wifi concerns. Parking was easy!

Getaway
I rented this house for myself and my cousin. Location for fishing was great. Right next to the pier. Short walk. I wouldn’t recommend the pier restaurant. Food was ok but the service was terrible. The pier was great.

Archaic Beach Bungalow
100 years old and remolded to modern perfection without taking away from the history. Remember it's archaic, so on chilly nights in the front rooms and kitchen you might have to put on a few more clothes. The bedrooms are cozy. Check the bed placements and sizes before you stay.

location is great BUT the pier was locked/closed and that was one reason I rented there but oh well, the house yes historic, clean inside but gaps under door and cold air coming in, doors need better locks, but it was what it was better if it was warmer weather, george was easy to communicate with very helpful

Short walk to the beach
It was a cute little house, kinda old and needs some update. The neighborhood isn't that nice but there is a fence so its safe. What we love is that it is a very short walk to the beach and it's private. We only stayed a night and it was raining so we didn't have much time at the beach. Would love to stay there again, but would prefer the other property that is the house with the bay view.

Amazing Stay
The house was actually bigger than we anticipated. It was described well. The reviews were accurate and based on opinion. Our opinion was that everything was perfect. Our 2 dogs joined us and also loved it! The area seemed a little sketchy but there was a great tall fence blocking the parking lot so we had our own little area! All beds were made, towels provided, dishes, cooking needs, grill, fire pit, laundry- it was perfect for us coming from NY! The beach was easy access, a nice neighbor, and we just wished we could’ve stayed longer!

The place was ok
So the place needs some updates. Beyond that everything was ok we woke up to 6 people fist fighting in our backyard at 2am.The house backs up to a parking lot for beach/fishing pier so it seems like a lot of undesirables hang out. It’s directly on beach so that was a nice touch and almost makes up for other experience. If owner put in a couple grand to update house he could charge much more per night.

Small issues, GREAT LOCATION
Cute bungalow right next door to the fishing pier. Very clean upon entry and no problem accessing the key. We had 5 people but only 4 towels, 4 wash cloths and 1 hand towel. Microwave didn't work and there were no sheets or pillows for the sofabed which was less than clean, probably should replace it due to its age. The outdoor furniture should be replaced, tho I'm sure no one uses it. Overall tbis was a nice place, just old, but nice. The A/C worked great

Willoughby Spit Property
We decided on this property because it was close to the bay. We did not have to get the kids into car to take to beach. Some questionable people on the pier but did not have a problem. It was the 4th of July so you would have people drinking anywhere. 99% of people were very friendly. It is like a fishing cottage, exactly what I expected. It is an older property. Very clean. I had a small problem and George had it fixed in two hours. I would not hesitate to rent it again. The pier restaurant was a big plus. The grandchildren loved walking the pier early morning. Thanks George. We enjoyed our stay.

VERY MISREPRESENTED
Property is NOT beach front. Had to walk past 2 other houses to get to beach. While walking past when we arrived the neighbors had not so friendly dogs. House also sits on a busy street. Inside the home had VERY bad pet smell. Outside in the yard the fence had wholes in it. We feel we were cheated out of our money. Home was not in good condition. Contacted owner he was not cooperative. He was not interested in giving us any compensation. He said we should open windows. We did not choose to stay here despite being tired from traveling all day to get there. It was that bad. We would NEVER recommend this house and feel you should take it off your website.
