About this property

Adorable Cottage In The Heart Of The Old Beach Area, Close To The Boardwalk.

Family Beach Cottage with perennial flower garden (cutting allowed), screened porch and small open deck with plenty of seating. Two bedrooms, lovely décor. South bedroom holds a beautiful cast-iron canopy QUEEN bed custom-made for the Pink House by Levin's Brass Beds of Virginia. North room holds FULL-size bed with a SINGLE-size roll-away underneath, new mattresses and pillows. Total, the cottage should be able to sleep a family of 5 comfortably, depending on the size and needs of the individuals. Linens are provided and beds made for you for your arrival so you don't have to do anything. *Be aware that full-size bed may not fit larger guests comfortably. The house might only then fit 3. We count on your experience to know your own needs. Each room has a dresser and the second room has a small closet with portable racks for hanging wet clothes and towels. Appliance-equipped kitchen for cooking complete meals (no ice-maker or dish-washer), microwave, crock pot, and 2 types of coffee maker, handy for those traveling with special diet restrictions or busy families. Small backyard, no fence. Dining/living areas, tv, high-speed internet, Netflix and cable, central air, fireplace for off-season. Games, books, and drawing items for use. Grocery store and coin laundry just 1/2 mile away towards the north. Permit parking only (we provide Guest Pass. Fee only if you lose it.) Flowers almost all year 'round. It changes by the Owner's whim or Mother Nature's mood swings. Most of cleaning fee is included in the rent, (small minimum fee added to guarantee maid income). Cozy 100% cotton linens provided with one fee per stay, beds will be made for arrival, one bath and one beach towel per guest. Kitchen linens provided. Some toilet paper and soap as well (We supply enough for most but do not guarantee supply for stay, especially since we now have to portion it out as a valuable commodity. We are trying to supply our guests with the best available). This cottage is like having an aunt with a beach house. Please enjoy yourselves and say hello to the neighbors. It's the Virginia thing to do!
*CLEANING: Since the Covid-19 shut-down, we have been cleaning and painting at the cottage. Our housekeeper has asthma so we do not make a habit of using harsh chemicals in the house unless absolutely needed. In addition to our normal system of using mild cleansers, we are finishing all guest preparation by wiping down 'touchy' surfaces like handles and light switches with alcohol disinfectant as we walk out the door and lock it behind us. Sheets, towels, and pillowcases will be washed. Blankets and coverlets will be run through a hot dryer, just for sanitation (they don't typically need to be washed after every use). We have removed most of the rugs in the house to make it easier to clean. Chairs were switched out to hard surfaces that are easier to wipe down. Be aware that there is no dishwasher in the house. If you feel uncomfortable using the supplied housewares, please bring paper plates, etc.
We are doing our best to provide you with a safe and comfortable environment during your stay. Please keep us in mind as well, and as much as we would like to host you, please do not come unless you are symptom free. Selma the house-keeper cares for the elderly in her other job. It is very important she stays healthy. We are grateful for your co-operation.

Adorable cottage
This is our second time staying at the Pink House. It is very clean and comfortable. The beds are soft and the host provides beautiful fresh flowers and snacks! It’s walking distance to the beach and to local restaurants. Plus, if you enjoy beautiful gardens you’re in for a treat! The yard is small but packed with a variety of gorgeous plants- a little oasis!

A Great Place for a Long Weekend
This small cottage is such a great place to stay for a couple of days. It is clearly a labor of love by the owner, who included the history of the house and how she put so much into it over the years. A beautiful garden in the back and a screened in porch in the front were perfect for morning coffee. And a very easy walk to the boardwalk and restaurants. We went in October - I highly recommend going in the offseason.

About the host

Hosted by Denise Holden

Host profile image
I am a cartoonist and obsessive gardener, grew up in Virginia Beach after my Navy family settled here. I still live in the area, just a few miles away. Tom, my husband and transplanted Buck-eye from Ohio, was a newspaper reporter for over 30 years and now works for the local transit company as a 'talking head'. We have three children, a beautiful ex-hunting dog we got from a wrong phone number, lots of plants, and a koi pond that I fuss over. You can ask me about any flower in the garden and I can tell you more than you want to hear. My husband and I both like to cook. My husband's constant goal is to get beyond all the many projects I keep coming up with. My mother was French, from the South of France, but I have become terribly rusty with the language. We lived in this house, were married in the backyard, taught our daughter to walk on the front path. Please enjoy it and make it part of your family's story too.

Why they chose this property

The Pink House is very special to our family. I bought it as a young woman when it had seen better days. The area is quirky, artsy, and alive. Originally, I believe the now 70 year old house was a summer home for a Norfolk family, only used occasionally. I loved how close it was to everything and all the activity surrounding it. The paneling, bathroom tile and fireplace are original late 1940-early 50s. With my father's help, I fixed it up and added the back closet area, redid the kitchen, and over time, made it into a cute, though small, comfortable cottage. My husband-to-be moved into the white apartments next door. We became friends and eventually married at the cottage with all our friends attending a backyard ceremony. After our first child was born, the tiny space got to be a bit difficult, so we moved further away, keeping the Pink House as a rental to help pay for it. We love to hike in the State Park and often ride bikes on the boardwalk or go listen to a concert. I love the Neptune Festival in September and buying ice cream during evening strolls. In the Spring of 2016, I decided I wanted to keep the house for family and friends to visit, so we added air conditioning and furnished the house as we would like to live, to be enjoyed by others who might see the same potential in this remnant from earlier days. Over the next few years, I plan to renew the back garden and add a shed so we can have bicycles and beach equipment handy. We are not interested in renting it all the time, but I am proud of this house and would like to share the joy it has given me with other travelers.

What makes this property unique

No question, everyone's favorite part of this house is the front porch. Originally, without air conditioning, it was too hot to stay inside so I had a little table for eating and a sitting area for visiting. If friends driving by saw candles burning, they knew I was home for the evening and would stop by to visit. Every morning I would get my coffee and putter in the garden and in the evening I would go ride my bike or rollerblade on the boardwalk. I love the open kitchen and the huge sunlit windows. I am still acquainted with the owners of the apartments next door, stopping in to chat and catch up with the area news. Within walking distance there's the beach, concerts, food, the Convention Center, lots of restaurants and activities. I've had complete strangers stop to admire the house and take photos of the garden. There's always something going on there, always activity. I love my Little Pink House!
