Fantastic cottage stay

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!

Great economical stay!!

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.

Perfect home for family with pets

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!

Fun Family Vacation

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 house was great! It’s had some face-lifting since the listing photos were taken, which initially confused me but we got it figured out! The house is well situated with a great playground and coffee shop a few minutes up the road one way and a beautiful quiet beach a few minutes up the other way. It was clean and perfect for our family of 5. We will gladly stay again!

Great location for walking to the St Pattys Day Parade! House suited our needs. Only two things the owners may want to check into is the dirty clogged air vent in the living room-it was covered in dust and soot which left the air musty, and the clogged dryer vent on the outside wall as it too was completely clogged which could be a fire hazard. Other than that, it was a great location!
