Your next unforgettable beach getaway awaits with a stay at this charming and completely renovated 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom vacation rental centrally located in Norfolk.

At dusk, retreat back to 'Castaway Cottage' for a family BBQ on the propane grill and s'mores shared around the fire pit.
The place was very clean, and a good setup nice fenced in yard for the dogs, lots of place's close to eat and shop for food. It might be me go to place when I come and see the grandkids
Property was great. House was clean and the perfect size. Nice beach close by. Very affected by costal flooding. Water comes in late morning and envelopes the whole house. It recedes after a few hours but the water can get deep.
My husband, dog Ziggy, and I needed to get off the boat to help make living a bit less cumbersome while needed work was done. The property was clean, a close walk to the beach, and had easy access to restaurants when we didn't feel like cooking. If the weather had been nicer we certainly would have taken advantage of the botanical gardens and First Landing park too.
We had high hopes for this homeâitâs been completely redone and looks great at first glance. Unfortunately, there were a few issues that really affected our stay.One of the beds was broken when we arrived, which made it unusable. We ended up trying to sleep on the couch, but it wasnât comfortable at all. Since it was late when we got in, we didnât want to bother anyone by calling the owner's cell, so we sent a message through the VRBO site. Unfortunately, we never received a response.Another issue was the bathroomâthere was a strong smell of urine, which seemed to be coming from the bath mat. It was pretty off-putting. If the mat had been cleaned and the bed had been in working condition, we likely wouldâve stayed the full three nights we had booked. Instead, we left after just one night.That said, the backyard was a definite highlightâfully fenced and perfect for pets or kids. It's clear the place has potential, but some corners were definitely cut during the renovation.Weâre not asking for a refund, but we do hope the bed gets fixed for future guests. With just a few small fixes, this could be a great place to stay.
