Vacation rentals with outdoor seating in Ocean View, Norfolk

Family vacation for almost a week and everyone loved it! We definitely recommend families to come to the Blue Octopus for their next visit to Ocean View-Willoughby Spit. Friendly, clean and with all the amenities for the whole family.

Very responsive host! Very clean and comfortable! Well stocked. Appreciated the stay here very much!

We could not be happier to have chose Mandy & Kevin’s place for our Norfolk vacation! The home had ample space for our family to spread out and truly was SO UNBELIEVABLY WELL STOCKED. Spices, condiments, cooking spray, cleaning supplies, and so much more. Honestly, it was so wonderful knowing we had Tupperware for lunches at the beach, kid friendly plates, bowls, cups and cutlery. There was ample beach toys (the beach wagon was a life saver) and while the walk to the beach was a breeze, not all cars stop for pedestrians and tiny toddlers may not do the walk independently as easily. Overall we have nothing but positive things to say and highly recommend this spot for small families (so kid friendly!) looking for a peaceful and perfect kid friendly beach experience.

Our stay at Bay Bliss exceeded all of our expectations and I highly recommend booking this home for your beach vacation. The house is exactly as described, clean, quiet, and right on the beach. I spent most of my time on the beach or the deck overlooking the ocean for the most peaceful mornings and evenings. The house is also very kid friendly, kitchen is filled with every thing you could need, beach toys and floaties, coffee, you name it. The hosts are very helpful and responsive, and had the easiest check out which made our stay all the better. My kids are already asking when we can go back!

My family of four had a wonderful stay at Gary’s place. The layout of the house is so cute/unique. The kids loved running around and checking out the space. They especially loved the enclosed sunroom. I believe Gary’s listing mentioned that he allows pets but the house was so clean you wouldn’t even be able to tell. My son has dog and cat allergies, we’d typically bring sheets from home to cover up furniture so he wouldn’t have a bad reaction. We didn’t have to cover anything up at Gary’s house! Sleeping space, bathrooms, and kitchen were all clean. Kitchen is stocked with essentials. The plastic bowls/plates were so useful for the kids! Beds are very firm, which was great for us. We will definitely try to stay at Gary’s again in the future.

Audrey’s quilted corners by the bay was perfect for a peaceful, relaxation vacation with my sister. We enjoyed being close to the quiet, peaceful beachfront and the bike/walking path into the state park. Highly recommend for a relaxing virginia beach experience. When we experienced issues with bugs entering the room (which is a very normal occurrence in the southern climate especially in the rain), Audrey quickly contacted us and eased our minds by spraying for bugs inside the room and outside the house. Audrey did everything she could to help. Be aware of the possibility of bugs given the nature of the climate and more wooded, residential area. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay.

Nicole was very responsive and i knew i could count on her for any issues. Beach was literally down the street and very quiet/private!

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 A Hidden Gem – Even Better in Person! I almost don’t want to write this review because I want to keep this place a secret! From the moment I arrived, I was blown away. The space is even more beautiful, spacious, and thoughtfully designed than I expected. Every detail—from the decor to the cleanliness to the cozy atmosphere—was clearly done with care. The lighting, the views, and the overall vibe were all so much better than I imagined. It felt like a modern hotel but with all the comfort and warmth of home. The host was incredibly responsive and welcoming, which made everything even smoother. If you’re on the fence, trust me—this place will exceed your expectations. I’ll definitely be back!

Very close to Busch Gardens as stated and easy to find. The home was very clean and had lots of brochures for nearby activities and restaurants. Everyone including myself stated having had great sleep. The host is very easy to get ahold of and quick to respond. I highly recommend this Airbnb!

Everyone was very friendly and helpful. Location was walking distance from the Virginia Beach boardwalk and plenty of restaurants and shopping. Had a great time. Would definitely come back.

We loved this space! We stayed the night for a concert in the area and were able to walk to and from the venue which was awesome! We got to the space and everything was very nice and felt like home! Would definitely recommend and stay here again!

We really enjoyed our stay at Josh & Maegan’s place right on the beach! The building is on the last block of the boardwalk, which is a great location because you can get right on the boardwalk directly outside the building, but since it's at the end of the boardwalk, it is much quieter and less busy than further down. The building is older but very well kept up, as was the apartment. The building's pool is small but nice, and there is a grassy sitting area with chairs and tables directly off the beach, which was lovely to sit at. The apartment is small (would not recommend three people squeezing in there), but perfect for two people if you are not spending much time inside and has all the amenities you need to cook simple meals. I would absolutely stay again!

I happened to be visiting during a holiday weekend while lots of events were happening in the downtown that I didn’t know about, and they were all just a short walk from this place! I would absolutely stay here and visit Portsmouth again :)

Cute, clean, and cozy place! Hosts were extremely accommodating. The location is close to the beach but tucked away in a not-so-busy neighborhood, so you can walk to destinations while still having a private and quiet location. Would definitely recommend!

Lovely carriage house on large and private property, very quiet and peaceful. Nikki's home is elegant and delightful. When we arrived it was set up for our arrival with the most romantic and dreamy lighting with music, my husband and I were both delighted!! The apartment style carriage is well decorated with tasteful art and antiques. Nikki and her family were the perfects hosts, ensuring everything we (and our pups) needed during our extended stay. 100% would recommend to anyone traveling in the area, you will be well looked after by Nikki.

Dottie's place was a quiet oasis just away from the bustling downtown area. Super walkable to museums, a view of the shipyard and great bars restaurants and coffee shops. The apartment was just as described and super clean. Dottie provided all the appliances you would need for a great stay and snacks! We would stay again and highly recommend this place!

Crystal's condo was spotless and an easy place to stay. Crystal was very proactive and made us feel welcome. her dinner suggestions were superb too! perfect for a weekend getaway in a resort atmosphere. Thank you so much, we highly recommend!

He had a great time

What an amazing stay! I've never been satisfied with an Airbnb, the photos always are so much nicer than the reality - but Big Blue was actually even better than advertised! Merlyn's communication prior to arrival made things very easy. Accessing the unit was simple, and I felt safe with the self-locking doors. The unit was clean and so comfortable, with many personal touches - I instantly felt at home. I was overjoyed when I arrived and toured the unit. Really exceeded my expectations which was such a different feeling than all the other Airbnb I've rented over the years. The beach access was tidy and pretty, the gym and beach gear a nice touch, and the foot wash station was appreciated after my morning walks with the dog. I really can't say enough great things about my stay here. Hosts were friendly and helpful every step of the way. We mostly spent our time traveling around the area from VA Beach to OBX so I can't speak much about Norfolk/Ocean View. I would def rent Big Blue again.

I honestly couldn’t get this place a better review. You get exactly what you expect and it is priced well for the area, location, and Hadley is a great host. The host is very responsive and communicates well of her expectations and fulfilling yours.

Gayle’s place was a great location to stay at with our dog!!! Great neighborhood to walk him in and the marina/beach is an added bonus! Gayle was very communicative and check in was easy. The space of the condo was great for a family and large dog! We will definitely be staying again!

Clean place close to the water. Hosts were clear and communicative. Great place for 2 couples.

The house is in an amazing location with lots to do and the host is very communicative and helpful.

This was our second time staying at one of Rebecca and Sean’s VA Beach condos — and the experience did not disappoint! This is just a perfect location, at the very end of the Boardwalk, with a private grassy lawn and outdoor seating just for the condo residents. Lots of restaurants in the surrounding blocks. Our favorite thing is the view — you look right out onto the ocean from the patio, and you can see the beach and the sunrise from the comfortable bed each morning. We spent unhurried hours sitting on the patio in the evenings enjoying the sound of lapping waves and the night sky. This cozy studio was just right for the two of us. Highly recommend. I’ve no doubt we’ll stay there again in the future!
