OTHER THINGS TO NOTE / HOUSE RULES
There are cameras on the exterior of the home. They are motion activated, records video and audio, and are active during reservations. There is also a decibel monitoring device located in the home. This is a smart device that measures decibel levels only and allows us to respond to extremely loud and sustained volumes. It does NOT record conversation, it only measures decibel levels. This helps us to avoid unauthorized parties. Our goal is for our guests and neighbors to both have an enjoyable experience!
*No smoking allowed (weed or cigarettes) - evidence will incur a $500 minimum fine. Please smoke away from the home away from windows or doors and dispose of cigarette butts properly.
*Any visitors must also be listed in the guest count. Minimum fine of $50 per person per night will apply for any undisclosed guests. The city is strict about maximum occupancy including visitors and we cannot allow more than the maximum guest count at any one time.
*Please observe a 9 p.m.- 8 a.m. quiet hour for our neighbors. They are our utmost priority to continue to operate short term rentals for years to come. Noise violations are taken seriously and will have one courtesy warning before removal without repayment for nights unspent.
*Our place is not for parties. $500 minimum fine for parties. A party is defined by any more than the maximum amount of occupants in the home at any one time (guest maximum can be found in the listing). No refund will be given for nights unspent if we are forced to terminate the reservation due to a party. We want you to have a great time with up to the maximum number of guests in the house, including any visitors. This is a residential area and our neighbors rely on us not to disrupt the community. We want to continue to do short term rentals for a long time so please help us respect our neighbors.
*Please note while the home is cleaned very thoroughly between stays and air filters changed regularly, we may allow dogs at the home. Those with severe allergies will need to consider our home’s suitability for their unique needs.
*No refunds will be given for COVID-19 or weather related cancellations including hurricanes. Please consider purchasing trip insurance that covers any unforeseen circumstances. Please note during hurricane season our area is prone to inclement weather.
*$75 per hour charge for not checking out on time. Please communicate if you need more time, if we can accommodate we will not charge a fee.
*If our property has a grill, please clean after use to avoid an extra $75 grill cleaning charge.
*Ice makers and fireplaces are an extra amenity and no refunds will be given if they are not functioning properly.
*To maintain a fair and comfortable environment for all guests, we ask that utilities (electricity, water, gas, etc.) be used responsibly. If there is evidence of excessive utility consumption beyond normal use for the duration of your stay, we reserve the right to charge additional fees for the excess usage. These charges will be calculated based on actual costs incurred and will be billed to the guest.
*No paper towels or wipes (including flushable wipes) are allowed down the drains. If a plumber needs to fix an issue caused by the aforementioned items and reasons, the cost will be billed back to the guest.
*Guest agrees to complete a third party encrypted ID verification independent of the platform booked on for security purposes. If the guest does not complete the verification or the host is not comfortable with the screening results, host may cancel the reservation with full refund to the guest.
*Any cleaning or maintenance issues must be addressed to the host. We must be able to attempt to fix the issue before offering refunds. If an issue is not addressed during the stay, no refunds will be provided.

This was one of the best properties that we have stayed in. The cleaning supplies, toiletries, beach towels, chairs, etc., were excellent. We would definitely recommend it.
In town for lacrosse tournament at ODU. Beach close by and very nice! Beach chairs and towels were nice to have. House was clean and comfortable! Nice to sit out back.
The house was perfect and the fenced in yard amazing for our fur baby! Great kitchen and quiet area. Definitely a great place and I highly recommend it!
Property was just as advertised. Cute little home with all the modern conveniences in a nice neighborhood. Kitchen was modern with a lot of storage space and the bedrooms were the perfect size. The home had a really nice deck and back yard and the property manager was very attentive and stayed in contact with us during our stay to ensure we had everything we needed.
Great grandparents, grandmom, Aunt and Uncle all traveled to Norfolk, VA, from SE Pennsylvania for the first birthday of our great granddaughter, granddaughter, niece.
The house was in a great location to meet our needs - only 10 minutes from the party and for a meet up the day after.
Enjoyed our time there - would come back!
We stayed in this cottage for a three day weekend with our two adult daughters. It was conveniently located to downtown Norfolk, in a safe neighborhood and was exactly as advertised in the pictures and description on line! Communication with the owner, Sierra, was easy and her responses were always timely! The kitchen was large and had plenty of room to gather around the table. The outdoor space was well kept and the grill worked great. I highly recommend this property to others.
This is an adorable older saltbox type cottage updated just enough to be comfortable without losing its charm. Sierra and her co-hosts have thoughtfully added touches to assist those traveling with pets such as bowls, a crate and baby gates. The floors are new and resistant to paws prints. The fenced yard is lovely and made for a stress free trip for our pets. Most importantly, the location is great. Very central and in a neighborhood of tree lined streets with sidewalks I felt safe going out on my own walking our pooch. We hope to stay again!
This home was just as advertised. Everything we needed to feel comfortable. Especially love the soft soap provided in kitchen and bathroom. Communication with owner was easy and they responded quickly when I contacted them about a small issue with birds building a nest in the dryer vent. Didnt want any birds to be injured. Fenced in backyard was great for our four legged family member. Suggestions for local restaurants and attractions were very helpful. Would definitely stay at this home again.
The host promptly responded to our communication. The house was clean, at a great location, and just what we needed for our stay. Our dogs loved the safe fenced in backyard.
Nice stay in comfortable home with fenced back yard for our dog. Host was very quick with the communication of information and answering questions. We will stay again sometime ! Dave & Linda Chesterfield,VA
Our stay was excellent. Great backyard for pets. Everything as advertised and excellent communication with owner. In the general area, we enjoyed Coasters Coffee, The Bold Mariner and New York Pizzaria.
House was nice and clean and the kitchen and baths were modern and up to date. Host checked on us often to make sure we were enjoyed out stay and that we had everything we needed. We will stay here again if we we can!
The house was very clean and well kept. Our dogs loved the fenced yard. Check in and check out went smooth. Close to several beaches and several food options. Overall a great experience.
Sierra is an excellent host. The house was perfect for our four day stay in Norfolk. Great location. Sweet tree lined neighborhood. The house was very comfortable, spacious, neat and clean. The property has a nice size backyard with privacy fence and deck outside the back door. We would definitely stay again.
