Cottage vacation rentals in Ocean View, Norfolk

We loved staying here! The location was great and it was roomy. Super close to the beach, great outdoor amenities, and a nice porch. Host was quick to respond. We pretty much had the beach to ourselves, it was like a private getaway! There were a few cons: very noisy upstairs guests (I know this can’t be helped, but it was bad,) the parking spaces were EXTREMELY tight and one of the guests kept parking in 2 spaces instead of one. There was a narrow gravel driveway offered, but if someone parked behind you then you couldn’t leave. The WiFi wasn’t strong enough to watch tv, we had to keep pausing it so it would load a little. All in all it was a great deal and would definitely stay here again!

This place is amazing.... We had an awesome family vacation!!

Enjoyed the stay. Comfy beds with wonderful cotton linens. Cute interior. Nice, quiet off season experience. John’s recommendations for smaller local favorite restaurants were good choices. Nearby recreation centers offer day passes and lots of indoor activities for cold or rainy days. Just right for our family trip. Highly recommend.

We enjoyed our stay at Poseidon. The carriage house was perfect for us, and had everything we needed for our vacation. We appreciated having the chairs and umbrellas so we didn’t have to bring our own. We’d definitely love to come and stay again.

We loved our stay! The week flew by. Great location.

We absolutely loved staying here! It was the perfect distance from Cape Charles where we visited during the day. It was the perfect little getaway!

Brian was a wonderful host, and the beach cottage was absolutely beautiful. It reminded me of my grandmother’s home, which made the experience even more special. My family and I were so happy staying there—it truly felt like a home away from home. We hope to return soon.

Fabulous stay at the Ladybug! Host was outstanding with communication and responsiveness. House was exactly as described if not better. Location was not far from places to go yet so secluded and peaceful. Wish we could have had more time there and looking forward to coming back soon. Thank you!!

If we would give more than 5 stars we would! This place was absolutely perfect for our family of 5 and our dog. The house was even cuter than the pictures and really spacious. Plenty of comfy seating for everyone. Everything was spotlessly clean and felt like we were the first people who ever stayed there! The location was super convenient for the beach and downtown. The owners clearly have thought of everything - the house was stocked with so many useful items for a perfect cape charles vacation - beach chairs, umbrellas, sand toys, stand up paddleboards, cooler and ice packs, beach towels, rafts, boogie board - made packing so much lighter knowing we had all of those things waiting for us. The outdoor spaces were also great - a comfy and shady front porch, a nice deck and fire pit out back, and an amazing outdoor shower! I can't say enough great things about this house!

We loved our stay at the Simple Life. Everything was exactly as the listing pictured it. While the house is on the older and smaller side compared to many of the other rentals in Sandbridge, it has clearly been impeccably maintained. We enjoyed the pool and being just two blocks from the beach, which was uncrowded. My only minor complaint is that the bunk bed in the second bedroom wasn’t super comfortable and it was very squeaky, which wasn’t ideal since I was sharing it with my sleeping newborn, and my senior mom had some trouble getting up on the bed in the primary because it was so high off the ground. But that is seriously such a minor thing. The kitchen was well-equipped and we had plenty of towels and access to a washer/dryer, which we didn’t end up using. We had a really wonderful, relaxing time and my dad commented several times he wished we could have stayed another week!

Great location, private, and walkable to all points of interest. Craig and April were very friendly and fast to respond. Would definitely book again in future.

Charming cottage at a family-owned, lovingly-crafted campground. It suited our needs perfectly. We traveled with our dog and all the other dogs on site were all on leashes and well-behaved. The staff was very helpful and we would definitely stay here again!

Such a great location - just a short walk from the beach. Front porch is a great place in the mornings and evenings. The dining room and living room fit our group well and we squeezed in the bedrooms (4 couples + 6 kids all 3 and under) but it was perfect since we spent most time outside anyways! Adam was super helpful and quick to respond when we needed a few items. Would definitely visit again!

We traveled to Cape Charles with our toddler and two golden retrievers, and Erika's home couldn't have been more perfect for us! She is a host who goes above and beyond to make you feel comfortable and is a great communicator. The house had so many wonderful intentional touches—a snack when we arrived, beach chairs and an umbrella, a beach wagon, and the most comfortable beds and pillows! The home is exactly as pictured, and so close to the main street that you can walk to for restaurants and shops. Definitely walk to the bakery nearby. We loved the fenced-in backyard and would absolutely stay here again. I highly recommend this home!

An absolute oasis! We unfortunately had a very rainy time during our stay, but had a blast fishing and swimming in between the storms. And just a short drive from the beach when the sun did shine! Kayaks, pool floats, a grill, all the little details were provided. Dawn answered any questions we had while staying and was accommodating when we couldn’t stay the required length! A couple things to note: The small wood dock pictured is no longer there. A little bit of a bummer but just some muddy shoes when fishing and harder to get in and out of the kayaks. The conventional oven does not work. A ninja air fryer oven is provided but is obviously a bit smaller, so a sheet pan dinner or something of the sort is not an option. I would also recommend bringing tinfoil for the baking tray in the ninja (especially if you want to make cookies!) as it is more of a wire rack. Both of those things still left us with an incredible vacation but just wanted to note for guests! Would book again!

The cottage was perfect for us and had everything that we needed! Jimmy was an awesome host and even shared that there was a pod of dolphins in the vicinity of the cottage! We had an amazing time!

Very enjoyable location and so close to beach but far enough away from boardwalk. House was beautifully decorated and spacious

What a fantastic spot in Virginia Beach. The interior of the place feels very "beachy" and for good reason - it's only one block from the ocean! There is a spacious living room with huge, plush sectional sofa and kitchen fully stocked with appliances and utensils, 2 cozy bedrooms and a nice backyard with pergola and table/chairs for al fresco dining or evening relaxation. As a bonus, there are bikes, beach chairs and even surfboards for guest use in the storage shed. All of the this aside though, the location is simply unbeatable. It's a 2 min walk to get your toes in the sand and their are restaurants, stores and bars mere footsteps in every directions. To be honest, we really never even used the rental car so just get an uber to and from the airport and save yourself the unnecessary expense. For all of this, the price is very reasonable and you'll be leaving on a high note. As an Airbnb veteran that has rented from coast to coast for past 10 years, this one is top 3 of all time.

We had a great time and would def stay again!

Great clean place. Only a minutes walk to the beach. Neighborhood was very nice and quiet. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a place to stay in VA Beach.

Super cute and clean house in a great location! Host was great and responds very quickly!

Excellent place to stay, Kathryn was available for any issues and the location was so close to the town everything was walkable. Loved sitting on the front porch watching the world go by and drinking coffee in the morning and wine in the evening. The house was comfortable and well stocked. Loved the Polar Springs water dispenser. Would recommend this place and come back again. Thanks Kathryn.
