Great property in Norfolk. Convenient to Everything!
We had a great time visiting our nephew for Christmas. We were literally 10 minutes away from his home. The property is spacious and clean. We enjoyed our rest and relaxation, the neighborhood was very quiet. The hosts were great and communicated with us to ensure we maximized our stay. I would definitely recommend this property to all viewing the VRBO site. I look forward to renting this property again when in Norfolk. Merry Christmas everyone!

Excellent stay
My family and I stayed here for a long weekend. All 3 bedrooms were large and it was great to have one room with 2 double beds. The kitchen was huge and had all that was needed. It was great to have beach chairs to use and we were an easy walk to the beach. We would definitely stay here again.

Great spacious house!
This house was great! We had 6 adults and there was plenty of room to move and step away for alone time. We had 2 dogs as well and even then the space was easily managed. The kitchen was fantastic. So much counter space. It is a short walk to a nice beach with calmer conditions. A great beach for young kids. And if you wanted to drive to another area it was a short trip to just about any location (generally 30 minutes or less).

19th Bay St
Overall enjoyed our stay. First impressions, not so good. Messaged the host a few hours before heading to the property but didn’t get a response. Arrived at the property and had to call for welcome/check in code, instructions as I had not received one at all.
Called the host, someone answered the phone right away, thank goodness! So no issues there after.
Location: The location was a bit off towards the back where there are residential areas and locals that are a bit on the sketch side, but once we were inside the property we did feel safe and relaxed. Amenities were great. Beds comfy, the heating/cooling was easy to manage. W/D was convenient. The beach was a short walk over and a fishing pier around the corner. We didn’t use the backyard games or beach chairs since the weather wasn’t that great during our stay, but it was nice that they were available if we needed them. Entertainment and wifi was easy. Everything was well organized and clean upon our arrival.
Side note: For people who may be a little sensitive to diversity and have never stayed around Norfolk, Ocean View area… if you think you can get past the not so attractive view across the street, you’ll enjoy your stay here.
