Beautiful Waterfront Cottage near Downtown Norfolk- A Peaceful Secluded Paradise
About this cottage rental
Located in Norfolk, this charming cottage for $222 per night is a fantastic choice for your next vacation. Taking a deep breath and enjoying this amazing view! This spacious cottage is set back on 0.6 acres with a wonderful view of the Elizabeth River, on a secluded peninsula. It is a very special, unique, private and cozy place right on the river. The new sunroom is a wonderful place to enjoy the warmth of the winter sunrise. We offer: - A clean beautiful waterfront home - A beautiful fireplace - Fresh organic eggs, teas, coffee, juice, snacks... while watching the sunrise over the dock - WiFi internet and cable TV with HBO - Great bluetooth speaker system for movies and music - Luxury bath linens - New waterview sunroom - Dish washer/Washer/Dryer We have registered the business with the city of Norfolk, and the city strictly only allows 2 guests each stay since the place has only one bedroom. Please help us to follow the rule. Thank you! We respond very quickly to your inquiries. We would rent out the place as short-term during January and February. We need a break too 😊. The cottage interior was recently renovated including a new kitchen and floors. The kitchen is fully equipped including a Keurig coffee machine for your morning coffee or tea to enjoy the sunrise over the water. There is a washer and dryer right in the sunroom for our guests' laundry. There is plenty of parking next to the cottage. We have recently had the back porch closed in with new big sliding windows around. Our guests now can still enjoy the beautiful water view during colder months from the new beautiful sunroom. Providing a great service to our guests is our main goal. We have been working hard on making the place nicer and nicer, improving service to make our guests’ stays more memorable, and always being available to help our guests with any concerns or questions. Thank you for choosing our cottage!!! A 2 night minimum stay required; we only rent out the place for the entire long weekend, Friday through Monday. Thank you! We have used a part of the money from our rentals to put in an oyster reef along the bank. This will help to improve the ecosystem in the Chesapeake Bay in the long run. Thanks for your stays and many thanks to The Elizabeth River Project. According to Travelandleisure Magazine, top 20 America’s favorite cities in 2017 were rated and Norfolk has made number 1 this year. It was number 4 in 2016. The cottage is just 5 miles from downtown Norfolk and within walking distance of the Ingleside light rail stop where you can get an all day pass for $4.50 including use of the 10 minutes ferry to Portsmouth, another city right cross from downtown Norfolk on the other side of the river.

The best vrbo we have stayed in! Andy is a gem! He met us with the warmest welcome and showed us around. Cottage has everything you need- stocked kitchen, shampoo/conditioner/soap, towels, blankets, cozy furniture, beautiful scenery, book of great recommendations! It was extremely clean and decorated so nicely! Perfect spot to take a book and read by the water or in the sunroom on colder days. Short drive to explore town! Easy check in/check out process and hosts communicate quickly! Can’t wait to come back!

This was a restful and wonderful getaway and this riverfront cottage was just the perfect place. Andy and Michael were the best and most responsive hosts and made sure we had everything we needed and checked in frequently to make sure we were enjoying our stay. We're looking forward going back again! 5 stars all the way!

Owners were super responsive prior to and during the visit. They take a lot of pride in the house. Lots of small extras like drinks in the fridge, snacks, toiletries, etc. the porch overlooking the river was so peaceful. They gave us great eating recommendations as well. I will absolutely rent from them again if we ever return.

Norfolk has so much to offer. Great restaurants…Codex and Crudo Nudo top our list. The cottage was so peaceful and relaxing. The pictures don’t do it justice. The thoughtful touches of fresh cut flowers and all the little details made it an absolutely perfect stay. Norfolk Beach is 20 minutes away and delightful. Clean, plenty of parking and public bathrooms. I can’t say enough good things about this trip. We loved this property and look forward to our next visit. Incredibly comfortable cottage.

Very relaxing
First of all a shout out to Mike and Andy, two very nice people that sincerely care about their guests. Very helpful, fast responding host who will give you a personal tour and make sure everything meets your satisfaction. The cottage itself is very nice, super clean and comfortable. Nice furniture, really nice bed, very well stocked kitchen and a wonderful porch with comfy chairs and a great view of the river. The location is convenient to downtown Norfolk, you can walk to the Light rail which is a train like public transportation that will take you right downtown in about 15 minutes. Don't worry about Interstate 264 we never heard it from the inside of the cottage, very peaceful sleeping. You can hear cars from the deck in the daytime but its not a big deal. I cant say enough good things about this property and the hosts, it was just perfect for our needs, we hope to stay again then next time we visit our daughter in Norfolk!

King’s cottage was an excellent choice! Andy is a top notch host. I greatly appreciated all the little things. The cottage is serene; an excellent place for rest and restoration. Go with Andy’s recommendation for dinner at El Rodeo, but watch out for that Texas Margarita! We look forward to future visits.

Best VRBO experience yet
No other words - BEST experience; quiet, cozy, private, and relaxing. The absolute perfect spot to get out of the craziness of life, but still be close enough to enjoy fancy restaurants for a night out. 10/10 recommend.

the cottage is perfect for two people. Kitchen and living areas are completely renovated with high-end finishes and there is a lovely sunroom that looks out over the water- we enjoyed our morning coffee there each day. Andy has thoughtfully stocked the kitchen with breakfast items, coffee, yogurt, snacks and water and drinks. Very close to all the attractions in Norfolk and you could walk to the tram.

Nice cozy cottage
Great time at this tucked away cottage by the water. Close enough to downtown for lunch and dinner while having some privacy and seclusion when needed. Hosts were amazing and checkin was nice and easy. Plenty of amenities stocked up and quality linens. Overall great stay that we’d recommend for other couples looking for a few days of relaxation.

We knew this would be an ideal spot to relax and visit with family in the area, but never imagined how gracious and attentive Mike and Andy would be. The cottage was ready to enjoy the minute we arrived, with snacks, refrigerated items, and a bottle of wine to enjoy on the beautiful sunroom in our recliners. I can't imagine any couple, or single, not thoroughly enjoying this spot.

Best of Norfolk in 3 days
The sunroom detained us for a much needed rest before heading to the hosts' favorite restaurant for lunch-- and then the recliners reclaimed us once again. Day two was for our all-day visit to the Chrysler Museum. Caught the big new exhibit, excellent Grab-and-go lunch, and then submerged ourselves in the superb glass collection. Day three was warmer so we hiked through the short trails of the Back Bay Natl. Wildlife Refuge to see tundra swans, great blue heron signs of bobcats.
A wonderful time in the beautiful King's Cottage thanks to our thoughtful hosts.

We had an amazing getaway! The cottage was so cute, quaint and perfect!
The weather turned out cold and rainy some of the weekend but the sunroom on the back porch was PERFECT!! As mentioned in other reviews, it was about a 5 minute walk to the light rail station and we took it to the waterfront for dinner. It was perfect.
The patio/deck was perfect to have dinner and wine when the weather warmed up. And Andy and Mike were the perfect hosts!!

Perfect Getaway on the Water
Although we had a major mishap with our vehicle when we arrived, the hosts were incredibly generous with support, including lending us their car to get around! Gratefully, we were staying in a beautiful cottage where we could relax in the sunroom, watching sunrises and sunsets, sit on the pier and even fish a bit. I wish we could have stayed longer. I'd give it 6 stars, if possible. We hope to return again this summer!

We very much enjoyed our stay here , the long river views are wonderful. And the sunrise is spectacular over the water. However, the overwhelming traffic noise is a challenge, it’s non stop, unfortunately. Our hosts were wonderful, very friendly and helpful.

Andy and Michael were our perfect and amazing hosts. We had a wonderful time at their sweet, tastefully arranged, cozy and very clean (so important during the pandemic) house. Everything was not only as described on the webside, but MUCH more. Little things that make you feel at home from the very beginning to the end of your stay. They welcomed us and explained everything we wanted to know about the cottage, the surroundings, the Elizabeth River and the passionate work they (and many neighbors) do in order to build those oyster reefs that will filter the bay’s water and that you can see at low tide. A great getaway for a couple, relaxing and wonderful, where you can enjoy from the patio windows, or the garden, or the dock, or the hammock the magnificent view of the sunrise and the moonrise and forget all the madness of the last months, in order to come back with sweet memories and sooo relaxed to your ... hectic (every day) life.And we want to mention the kitchen and the fridge, where you find everything you need - and more than that.Thank you, Andy and Michael!Daniela and Cristian
