Steps to the Ocean! Family and Dog Friendly North End Cottage w/ Rsrv Parking

Coastal Charm Meets Quite North End

Experience the beach getaway in this inviting cottage duplex, located in the peaceful North End.

The Highlights
- Prime Location: Situated on the ocean side with no roads to cross—just steps until your toes hit the sand
- Nature at Your Door: Only one block from the scenic trails of First Landing State Park
- Single-Level Ease: 957 sqft of bright living space
- Outdoor Living: A fully fenced backyard and a refreshing outdoor shower to rinse off the salt and sand

Home Comforts & Amenities
- Space: 3 Bedrooms and 1.5 Baths, accommodating up to 6 guests.
- Stay Connected: High-speed Free Wi-Fi and Smart TVs in every room (simply log in to your favorite streaming apps).
- Morning Essentials: We’ve got your caffeine fix covered with complimentary ground coffee, creamer, and tea.
- Family Friendly: Traveling with a little one? A travel crib is available for your convenience.
- Kitchen: Fully stocked kitchen for your convenience.

Courtesy items:
1. Beach Day Essentials: We have beach chairs, umbrellas, and a cooler available in our locked shed that you are more than welcome to use!

​Because our cleaning team doesn't service the outdoor gear, we just ask for two things if you'd like access:

- Photo Inventory Check: Please send us a quick photo of the items before you take them out and again when you return them before check-out.

- Secure the Gear: Please ensure the shed is locked back up before check-out.

​If you’re happy to help us with those steps, just let us know and we will send over the lock code right away!

​2. Courtesy Charcoal Grill: we just ask that you please clean it after use; the standard cleaning fee doesn't include the grill, and the cleaning team does charge a $50 service fee if they have to clean it for the next guest.

Reservation Requirement
- GUEST COUNT: Please ensure overnight guests do not exceed the number on your reservation.
- AGE REQUIREMENT: The primary guest must be at least 23 years old and present during the stay. (Families with children may request an exception).
- PET POLICY: A $30/night per pet fee applies (max 2 dogs). Dogs are subject to approval and insurance guidelines. Please pick up all pet waste before checkout to avoid additional cleaning fees.
- PEAK SEASON POLICY (May – September)
Late Check-Out: Due to a tight cleaning schedule, we MAY NOT accommodate late check-out requests during peak season. Please plan your departure on time so we can prepare the home for the next guests. Thank you for your understanding!
Early Check-In: While we can’t guarantee an early check-in, we will send you a message when the property is clean and ready for your stay!

The location was excellent, on the quiet side of the North End and with easy access to the residential beaches. Very dog friendly, too, so our pup had a great time. Even a fenced yard for easy potty breaks!The hosts are so thoughtful and let us reschedule after a snowstorm so we could actually enjoy our time. The mattresses and couches are comfortable and the shower and bathrooms are nice and bright. Towels provided and whatever you need is in the kitchen also. Thanks so much!!!!!!

Our host was extremely thoughtful and accommodating! We were in vA Beach to escape a big snow/ice storm in Richmond and our hosts made sure we were super warm. When they noticed the heat was not increasing on the thermostat, they sent in a technician and portable heaters. Their kitchen and bathrooms are fully stocked!

We really enjoyed our stay at this Virginia Beach house. The location was awesome — just about a 3-minute walk to the beach, which made it super easy, especially with our dog.The house was very clean, comfortable, and well taken care of. There were four adults staying, and we had more than enough space. Everything we needed was there, and it felt like a place you could actually relax in, not just sleep.It was great to find such a dog-friendly place, and the area was quiet and nice for walks. Overall, it was an easy, comfortable stay, and we’d definitely stay here again. Highly recommend!

The check-in was seamless. The property was clean, and the pictures were accurate. It had everything we needed for a long weekend of golf, dominoes, and watching football. It's directly on Atlantic Avenue but road noise was not overwhelming, and beach access was worth it. Easy drive or Uber to restaurants etc. I would definitely stay again.
