Relaxing
The house was comfortable and clean and the owners were kind and accommodating. It was so nice being right on the beach and we had great views from the top deck. Location was close to the airport and local attractions. We were about 1/2 hour drive from Virginia Beach. Great place to relax on your own private beach.

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!!

Love the Bungalow!!! Virginia Beach Bums 2024
Tom & Cate made it a wonderful experience for our family vacation!!! Excellent communication and the home was well stocked. Only missing item was a pizza cutter, but we made due! The beach was relaxing and clean, we were able to see Dolphins, and we were super happy to be able to do our laundry as needed. I recommend bringing your own laundry detergent, as I’m allergic to what was provided. We will definitely be back!!! Loved every minute of our stay!!! Thanks again!!!

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.

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!

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!
