Bayview Cottage | Rustic Beach Front Apartment - Cozy, Rustic and On the Beach! - 2 BR/1 Bath

2 Bedroom Cottage in Bayview, Norfolk

Welcome to our Rustic Beach Front Apartment. This unique space has been carved out of the basement of our 100+ year old beach cottage. We've recreated this unique space into a bright, clean, comfortable and cheerful little unit where you can create wonderful family memories.
I think it is the best location in Ocean View - the beaches, although not quite private, are fantastic! We are situated directly on the water, just walk out your door down the sandy path and you are right on the beach of the beautiful Chesapeake Bay!
The kitchen features a full size refrigerator, full size gas stove/oven, and all the essentials for meals.
It consists of 2 Bedroom and 1 Bath and is accurately described as a basement apartment, inside a beautiful rustic beach cottage. It has it's own private entrance and parking. The windows are the smaller casement style, that contain 3 air conditioning units.
You must be able to step down into the unit by descending 3 stairs. Beware, if you are over 6' tall - no jumping allowed!! - there are radiator pipes running along the ceilings that are typical of this type of basement apartment.
If you are tall, bring a hardhat!!
And if you've ever played basketball in the NBA, this may not be the right place for you!!
We are situated directly on the water, just walk out your door and you are right on the beach of the beautiful Chesapeake Bay!
I want to temper your expectations with this unit. It is over 100 years old and while I love it, it may not be for everyone as the appliances and plumbing fixtures are a bit dated. This is an apartment that has been created out of a basement space. It is clean and comfortable and of course, on the beach. The ceilings are low and the windows are small. We have done our best to create a comfortable space for you and your family to enjoy! The emphasis though, should be on the beautiful Chesapeake Bay Beach and being able to enjoy it while staying in a beach front unit.
Even with a thorough modernization the property is a historical home that is now over 115 years old. It has some eccentricities that reflect building standards and designs from the turn of the last century that lends to its charm as an older beach cottage. But even so, we hope that you will love our older and charming home.
Once a reservation has been made, we do not revisit/refund if you have reduced the number of guests or have chosen to not travel with your pet.
Quiet hours begin at 9 PM.
This is a Family/Residential unit and area. No loud music or noise.

Summary: I knew we were staying in a basement apartment, and that was ok. But I did not expect the disrepair. There were holes in the ceiling and some spots in the walls that were fixed but not painted. Being a basement there was a very musty smell and an odor from previous pets that stayed. A dehumidifier and some air freshener would go a long way. I bought some Febreze and used the whole bottle throughout the week and finally got the smell under control. There was only one functional bathroom and it was very small, the other half bath was out of order. Being on the beach, it would have been nice to have a spot to hang wet clothing outside to dry. More towels for a week stay would have been nice. We only had 2 per person. On the upside, the beds were comfortable, there is a large tv and the internet worked well. For the most part the apartment was clean, just needed some tlc. I was not expecting 5 star accommodations and knew this was an older property, but for the cost of the stay I think some things could be fixed.
