Cottage rentals with a hot tub

Cozy Cottage - NEW hot tub, dogs OK, fenced yard
The house was super clean, comfortable and walking distance to some delicious restaurants! I highly recommend this spot if you have dogs; the yard is fully fenced with privacy fencing, is clean and spacious enough for large dogs to run around. It’s in a very quiet neighborhood as well. I’ve stayed in some other Airbnb’s that had a chore list a mile long, with complicated check in/out instructions but this place was the total opposite. The whole process and stay was super easy and worry free. We’ll definitely be booking again in the future! :)

Beach Cottage - On Beach with Wrap Around Porch
Really enjoyed our stay. We will definitely be back. Airbnb was central and just a stone throw to the beach. We had a toddler and it was very safe and comfortable. We brought a travel crib but they did have one actually in the closet for us which was excellent, coffee was great also. Went for dinner at the Willoughby fish house which was 5 minutes away and really enjoyed it! I absolutely recommend this stay and I imagine we will book again.

Beach Cottage-Bay Views Loft on Beach & Veranda
Everything was wonderful, easy to get in, and our host John was very helpful and friendly. Hotub was clean no trash in the yards felt just like home. comfortable beds the walkway to the beach was very private enjoyed that as well. Overall our stay was amazing and would love to be able to stay there again. We had so much fun <3 provided us with some detergent to wash clothes I thought that was thoughtful.

Poseidon - Beach Carriage House - 120 Years Old
Cozy and peaceful spot right by the beach. John was very welcoming and proactive in making sure the property was always well-maintained. We enjoyed our stay!

The Ladybug - arcade, dog-friendly, firepit, & EV
To say this house was a dream come true would be an understatement. From the moment we drove up the long driveway and laid eyes on the picturesque setting of the red house nestled in the woods, we fell in love. My 17-year old daughter walked in and said the pictures online did it no justice and she is exactly right. The house was immaculate, with every feature you could possibly imagine. The technology throughout was unbelievable. Google Home in EVERY room. TVs with surround sound. A game room that kept us busy for hours. A karaoke machine. It was a much needed getaway. Our dogs were in heaven with the acres of land to explore on walks. I have never felt so relaxed. I just can’t say enough. I love the city of Cape Charles but honestly did not want to leave this house. The host, Dave, was so great with communicating, even before we arrived. We will definitely plan another visit here! I would say the only downside was getting carpel tunnel trying to beat high scores in the arcade room. ?

Cottage in the Heart of Virginia Beach
was a great place for the family. close enough to beach to walk. comfortable house and had everything we needed.

Porch Happy! A place to hang out by the beach!
We are in the middle of a move still, sold our house and are airbnb hopping until we can find forever. This place was a nice layover for the winter months. The place was kept clean, although slightly dated. When you walk in, it really feels like coming back to grandmas house for a sleepover. We had two minor leaks and those were quickly remedied. The host is responsive! One leak happened on new years and had our maintenance man out the same day. There is no dishwasher, so the dishes are in the condition the previous tenant leaves them. This is of no fault to the host, however I did find I had to rewash many dishes before we could use them. There was a huge selection of dishes to choose from though, and we were able to get around the cleanup without putting the brakes on our evening routine. We didn’t get to explore the city much, as we all caught the viruses circulating this year, so we stayed cozy in this place for the months.

Cozy Bay View - BeachSide, Pet Friendly, Wi-Fi
Great weekend stay!! Loved how close to the beach it was. Just a short little walk right from the front door. So easily accessible, had beach chairs there for convenience. ( especially when it was a spur of the moment weekend trip). Can’t wait to go back.. a lot of room, more people could actually stay here comfortably for a short stay at least.. lovely little cottage like place with the beach practically in the back yard! Beach was relaxing, and so peaceful considering there weren’t many people there! I so enjoyed my stay!!! Thank you so much for allowing me to stay!!! God Bless, Amber-

Central, Affordable, River View!
A Beautiful home with a lovely back yard. Lots of space inside, and lots of amenities for kids. The kitchen was great and had everything I needed. Overall the house was very comfortable, but perhaps a bit under-furnished. Although the listing indicated dedicated office space, I ended up doing most of my work at the dining room table, but that worked well and had a nice view of the river. The network was snappy and reliable. The neighborhood was quiet and the home very private -- My stay was quite enjoyable and the host was responsive when I reached out.

Harbor Delight on the Bay - Water Front, Wi-Fi
thank you!!

Pink Flamingo at the Beach - Beach Side, Wi-Fi
We had a wonderful stay. It wasn’t a fancy place by any means lol but it got the job done! We enjoyed being right on the beach and all of the local restaurants near us. Would stay here again.

Villa Positano
💯 your money worth and the interaction with Roger was amazing .good location good fishing right of tha beach . safe and clean environment and gorgeous views

Peaceful beach @Courtyard Cottage+No Cleaning Fee!
We stayed at Richard’s because we were getting married on the beach which is right behind the house however weather halted tht so we opted to get married right in his beautiful backyard. The first day we were there we met his father who introduced himself and let us know tht if there was anything we needed to just reach out. Richard and his Mom actually were very sweet and left us a beautiful card for our wedding, the house is gorgeous and it was very clean. There were a lot a personal touches in the house tht made it truly feel like you were home. I can’t wait to stay there again next year for our 1st year wedding anniversary.

Comfy three bedroom cottage - easy beach access
We had an amazing stay at Phil and Donna’s beach house in Norfolk! The location was perfect—just a short walk to the beach. The house was spotless, well-maintained, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay, whether short or long-term. We really appreciated the keyless entry and all the thoughtful touches throughout the home. Being able to bring our dog was a huge plus—she had a great time too! Phil and Donna were wonderful hosts, and everything about our stay was truly perfect. We can’t wait to come back!

Private Beach Access at The OV Beach House
Madeline & Michael’s place is great 👍 They’ve recently renovated everything inside and there was even more space than we expected. We thoroughly enjoyed the views, the back yard of sand, small path through the sand dune and access to the beach. Communication was great leading up to and throughout our stay. Thanks again for the hospitality!

Seaglass Cottage
We came here for a quick few nights and it was absolutely perfect. Susan was a great host. It was in a great location and there was lots in walking distance to do! We had a great time and would definitely come back and stay here again.

At Sunset 2/Sandbridge Beach, VA
This was a great place. Clean, well equipped, comfortable and private. Andria was an excellent host and provided over and above. She met me at check in and explained everything. Also recommended restaurants. She was very accommodating with check in and check out. Highly recommend and I will go back again.

Lovely Ocean View Cottage
We had a wonderful stay with our puppy! Chuck was very thoughtful and welcoming with the many amenities available. We felt right at home and it's so close to restaurants and the water. Looking forward to our next visit!

The Beach Nest. Walk to oceanfront.
How lucky my wife and I were to find the Beach Nest in Virginia Beach. The location is beautifully appointed and perfect for a couple looking to be near the beach, restaurants and all that the strip has to offer. The attention to detail with the accommodations was second to none. A 5 star experience. Ted and Lori were such a nice couple and provided us ample information for entertainment and dining in the area. Highly recommended.
