Perfect for a quick trip or week stay
Location was great. Neighborhood was nice and also pretty quiet. The walk to the bay was very quick and easy to do. Grill on the property was nice. The sink and the half bath didn’t work at the time of our stay. Some of the sinks and appliances were a little rusty, but you are at the beach. Overall a great place to stay.

The ceiling was low, bathroom sink was clogged. Bathroom floor needs work. Property was clean and beds were comfortable. Loved being at the beach. They have a different Property i stayed at on an earlier date that was great. Although we didnt care for the mentioned things, the process was easy and the owners were good to deal with.

Visit dad and brother and sister in Norfolk
The property was just as described, it was a perfect little spot on the beach. My brother and I were able to get up every morning and take a walk on the beach before visiting with our dad and siblings. Our brother lives in Norfolk and this house was only 2 miles away. I was very happy with our stay

Would not stay again
Seems over priced unless you’re ONLY paying for being on the beach. Otherwise house is in pretty bad condition. Property manager very polite and professional. Beach is very nice as well. House seems to be falling apart. Would not stay again.

Unexpectedly Perfect Location
I was hesitant about low ceilings, but my 6'1" husband was fine. The apartment was clean and cozy. It was the perfect location to take advantage of the surrounding area without too much hustle and bustle. I really appreciated the low traffic and noise, the private parking, and semi private beach. Will definitely book this property again!

Not Worth It
The beach was lovely, but everything else was a bust. The space is in poor condition: my kid punctured his foot on an exposed carpet staple, there is visible mold throughout the ceiling, and the ceiling is reinforced with shims as it is also visibly sagging with damage. The a/c is cool (though very, very loud). The bathroom has unfinished drywall in the shower cubby, the bathtub faucet does not work (shower only, which is not great for kids), and the water would shift to scalding without notice. I felt unsafe having my kid in the tub with the water running as the temperature was so variable (the upstairs neighbors also warned us about this issue). Though the listing says it sleeps 5, we were also charged an extra guest fee for 3 adults and 1 toddler. I contacted the host to ask about this and they said that the fee is triggered after 3 guests. I cannot find this anywhere on the listing, and the just told me to contact VRBO. I did, but VRBO said that the host is the only one who can help. Frustrating all around. Will not be back.

property not recommended
We would not recommend this property as a vacation rental for anyone. There is no rustic charm . . . just an old, dirty, moldy, damp basement and probably not even safe. The smoke alarms were disarmed and laying about the property, material stuffed into electrical sockets and a couple of exposed light sockets overhanging the shower, mold everywhere especially the kitchen sink and taps, holes and water stains in the ceiling, rusty old refrigerator. We paid almost $2,500 for 4 people plus pets to stay here. Only 2 of us stayed as there was no refund and we couldn't afford alternative accommodation . . the others were totally repulsed and did not stay. Good beach access and nice beach!

Great service and pet friendly
The management here it’s the best. If you have any issues all you have to do is reach out. We loved the apartment. It was perfect for me, my husband and our two dogs. The Beach is just a few steps away. It’s nice to be able to take walks on the beach especially with my furry little babies. Stay here and you won’t regret it. George and Kathleen offer top notch service and at prices you can afford..

Quick Beach Getaway
Cute rustic place and description is very accurate. Straight path to the beach. Communication with property manager was great. We would definitely stay here again if there were not any people in the rental above this one. The nights are very difficult to sleep because you can hear everything they are doing (i.e., music, laughing, banging around etc). But if you can sleep through anything this place is for you!

"Rustic" basement is too old and molding/musty smell
Location is perfect. The hosts are very good, responsive and giving clear instructions. However, the basement itself is very bad. Musty smell is so strong. I always smell it even after staying inside for hours. I opened 2 doors in the basement and the musty smell was event stronger. It feels like nobody stayed in the basement for a long time. Bath tub's curtain must have been there for ages. It has lots of black molds. Sometimes I felt like I could not breath because the air was too stuffy and musty. I saw a cockroach one night. Flies and mosquitos come in the basement whenever we open the door. A screen door might be helpful for the air to circulate better. We're fortunate that my youngest son just grew out of asthma past few months, otherwise, his asthma could have been triggered and our vacation could be ruined. I hope the host will try to improve the condition of the basement so guests can avoid possible heath issues. Thank you!

Basement on the Beach
Overall, the description of the property was spot on, so we weren't surprised when we walked into a basement. It was right on the beach (though no view from the "house"), so that was very nice. Would have loved an outdoor sitting area, and they didn't provide towels, but other than that, we had a great time, and enjoyed the space!

The basement apartment was old and very rustic, but quite comfortable. It reminded me of going to my family's hunting cabin in northern Pennsylvania - old, rustic, and comfortable. It was what I expected and the price was fair. It made me very happy to be there.

Not What We Pictured
It didn't look as well in person as it did in the pictures. The property description was accurate in that it was a basement space, but it was VERY rustic and misleading as far as the actual beach access. We thought that it was a back or side door with direct access to the beach - it is not and you have to walk around the house, where others are renting above, to get to the path to the beach. The beach itself was exactly as we expected and had hoped for. It would have been nice if there had been a outdoor sitting area for our part of the house. For the age of the house, the owners have definitely tried to work with what they have, and it is cute, but a little too rustic for our taste.
