Cottage in Norfolk
4.94 out of 5 average rating, 145 reviewsPoseidon - Beach Carriage House - 120 Years Old
The Carriage House was perfect for our honeymoon. The proximity to the beach, the outdoor seating and atmosphere and all the provided beach chairs and umbrellas were great. The hot tub jets arent very strong but that was brought to his attention already. The number of cameras was mentioned in a previous review, the reasoning for them is understood but it's still a little unnerving to be surrounded by so many. The location is nice and quiet but its about 30 minutes to VA beach and not really within walking distance to any restaurants or stores, unless you're willing to walk quite a distance, just an FYI.

Cottage in Cape Charles
4.98 out of 5 average rating, 65 reviewsThe Ladybug - dog-friendly, arcade, Peloton, & EV
Upon checking out of this beautiful home, I was already looking forward to coming back for another stay. From start to finish, this was one of our best stays ever. If you are looking for a peaceful retreat in a lovely place with some historical flare, this is the place for you. Our family loved the outside of the house as much as we loved the inside. Our 10-year old son love throwing a baseball and frisbee outside, as well as exploring the corn fields. You are very close to the hiking trails at Magothy park. Everyone also loved the various choices of arcade games downstairs. David was very responsive with any questions we had, and we loved the convenience of an EV plug-in for our rental. We would highly recommend this place!

I love Donna’s place so much . She is the best host, always available and a really kind person. Will always stay at her place while visiting my daughter and my new grandbaby ( until I buy a place so I can be near my grandbaby lol)
Cottage in Buckroe Beach
4.98 out of 5 average rating, 47 reviewsCozy dog-friendly 2BR cottage 2 blocks to beach !𓆉
This was my second stay at Dan and Susan's place, with the first being a year ago. It is comfortable, well kept, and stocked with great amenities. Within 10 minutes of my arrival, I was on one of the bikes pedaling my way over to meet friends on the beach! I would recommend this cottage and would certainly stay there again. Thanks for a great stay!

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!

The Sea Salt Cottage was absolutely adorable. It was very clean and spacious. The beds were comfortable and bathrooms were top notch. Again very clean! The back yard was perfect for our entire family to enjoy, even our dog. We watched the sunset over the farm in the back yard. Doug & Hannah had great recommendations for fun and food. which was a short drive away. We loved our Sea Salt Cottage stay and would definitely come back!

I loved Diane's place it was everything I was looking for. I would definitely go back again. I didn't drive an 4WD and didn't deflate the tires enough the first go around. So yes we, did get stuck momentarily. We were out in less than 15 minutes . The rest of the stay was perfect after I deflated the tires 12 psi. and we drove close to the water on low tide hours. We drove an AWD with the 9 inch clearance. It was easy breezy. We followed the tides on Twiddy report as Diane advised . Overall, we loved it . Dreamy, blissful, beautiful stay!! I would definitely stay here again. Yes, of course we saw the beautiful horses.

Super quiet, private place with stunning reviews. Very responsive hosts! It's worth taking the car ferry to get to and from Williamsburg/Jamestown. It was a vacation within a vacation and car ferry is free and runs frequently enough.

We loved our stay at Leslie's cottage on the water! It was peaceful and in a beautiful area overlooking the water. Great communication with our host. We enjoyed free passes to the Botanical Gardens which came as a perk with the reservation. Thank you for making our stay a peaceful one! Highly recommend.

We had a terrific time at Jimmy’s cottage on the beach. You are just steps away from the water and can settle in right there with beach chairs or walk for miles on a fine sandy beach. There is always a ship or two to watch. The cottage has everything you need and has a great layout for privacy with one bedroom and bathroom on opposite sides of the house. The cottage is clean, has everything you need for relaxation and if you want, cooking something up. There is outdoor seating, a table and chairs, a grill and a hammock to while away your time in the sunny afternoon. Jimmy is incredibly friendly and responsive to any issues or needs you may have. He even let us check in early the first morning as the cottage was available. The towels and linen are super comfy as are the beds. It’s a great place to unwind and relax. Terrific seafood at Willoughby by the Bay which is just down the road at the end of the Spit. It’s a dive but the food is five star. Jimmy’s cottage is wonderful!

Our first visit to Cape Charles and we loved it. K’s house is in a lovely residential area, but very close to shops and restaurants and a 10 minute walk to a beautiful beach area. The house is simple but comfortable and has everything you need (no high chair or pack & play, but we brought our own). We loved sitting on the porch.
Cottage in Corolla
4.91 out of 5 average rating, 23 reviewsAdorable 2 BR Cottage in Swan Beach- 4WD required
My first trip to outer banks since I was a child some 50 years ago. Place was just as described, and Joseph seems to be a first class guy. Very responsive to messages, usually in minutes. Place was well equipped (beach chairs, coolers, surfing / snorkeling gear, etc..) You could basically show up and only need to buy food & your beverage of choice. Our place was at the smaller end of the scale, which was exactly what we wanted. Well worth the price, and when we go back, I’ll certainly be reaching out to Joseph. Also, regarding the horses, not a single day went by without us seeing them, especially driving along the beach at night. I’m convinced we saw them more than the folks on the paid tours. One word of advice: Bring a capable 4 wheel drive vehicle! You’ll see nothing but sand & water for miles once you leave the blacktop.
