Guest access
At check-in, you'll get a parking permit—please display it on your rear-view mirror while on the property. The permit is next to your guest book in the kitchen or dining area. Only registered guests may park on-site; visitors, boats, trailers, work vans, and RVs must park elsewhere.
Each unit comes with one parking space. Occasionally, we can offer a second spot for one of the five rentals. Please inform us at booking if you need extra parking so we can check availability.
Do not back into parking spots; drive forward until your bumper touches the deck. Large vehicles—including full-size pickup trucks, king cab pickups, and large SUVs with third-row seats (Suburbans, Escalades, Excursions, etc.)—must park in the marked gravel area to the right of the driveway, leaving space for another vehicle.
Our parking lot also features a striped regulation Pickleball court—a unique amenity for guests to enjoy. Parking spaces are clearly marked with yellow stripes, and vehicles should park at a 45-degree angle.
The property is easy to find, especially at night. Look for the ground-mounted wooden sign marked “Poseidon”—illuminated with red and green lights. Turn into the driveway next to the red light and the Poseidon sign.
We’re centrally located in the region and just minutes from major destinations:
• 1 hour to Colonial Williamsburg & Busch Gardens
• 30 minutes to Virginia Beach Resort
• 15 minutes to Norfolk International Airport, Downtown Norfolk, EVMS, and NSU
• Less than 10 minutes to Norfolk Naval Base, Old Dominion University, Hampton University, the VA Hospital, and Little Creek Amphibious Base
Please note: Public transportation in our area is limited. A car is strongly recommended for getting around comfortably and efficiently.
Other things to note
Smoking of any kind is prohibited inside of the property but we have cigarette buckets along the exterior as smoking is permitted outdoors. Maximum setting for Air Conditioning is 72-degrees. Maximum heat setting is 76 degrees
We also have free kayaks too but a Waiver of Liability form will need to be initialed and executed by all adults that will be using the kayaks (minors are not to use kayaks). If you would like to use this equipment please message me with your email address and names of all adults that will be using it. I will send the agreement to you by Docusign. Once you sign and initial in all of the spaces provided and the completed form is sent to me I will then provide you with the lock code to unlock the kayak and provide a paddle to use.
We have a striped regulation Pickle Ball court in the parking lot. Parking spots are clearly marked in with yellow stripes and cars park diagonally (45-degree angle)
The Beach Cottage is on the other side of our bayfront lot. It is closer to the street than the other cottages on the property. There is some vehicular traffic along the street that passes the property and each room here has blackout curtains. For light sleepers that have zero tolerance for any noise we have 4 other cottages on the property that may be better suited for them.
