Cottage rentals with a hot tub

The Cottage @ Captain Genes - Secluded Waterfront
Our stay in this home was such a treat! We enjoyed utilizing the kayaks to boat around in Chesapeake Bay. The hot tub was an absolute delight, perfect for evening stargazing, saw lots of shooting stars, and could see the water of the bay from the hot tub. We also enjoyed doing November cold plunges from the hot tub to the pool. While the living room is not expansive, it fit our needs for family game & movie nights. The bed linens were so comfortable, and Lori was beautifully responsive & friendly when we would reach out with a question. We also enjoyed the nearby Sandy beaches.

Bay cottage đon the beach. Stunning viewsđ
Dave and Melissa made our stay amazing for my Wife Alisha and I 20th Anniversary. Couldn't ask for a better place to stay. Definitely eat at local joint for Breakfast and Lunch Fawns which they recommend!!!

Waterfront Gloucester Cottage w/ Private Boat Dock
This home was exactly what we needed - a beautiful, relaxing space with wonderful views. Every home along the private road is lovely - the azaleas in bloom during our April stay were stunning! The house itself was clean and had every amenity. The outdoor space was fantastic! We enjoyed our time sitting and rocking and looking at the river. We drove in to Williamsburg twice. It was a bit of a drive, but was worth it. Gloucester is a cute town and we did a little shopping & eating. Donât hesitate to book this home!

Beach Cottage - On Beach with Wrap Around Porch
Really enjoyed our stay. We will definitely be back. Airbnb was central and just a stone throw to the beach. We had a toddler and it was very safe and comfortable. We brought a travel crib but they did have one actually in the closet for us which was excellent, coffee was great also. Went for dinner at the Willoughby fish house which was 5 minutes away and really enjoyed it! I absolutely recommend this stay and I imagine we will book again.

Beach Cottage-Bay Views Loft on Beach & Veranda
Everything was wonderful, easy to get in, and our host John was very helpful and friendly. Hotub was clean no trash in the yards felt just like home. comfortable beds the walkway to the beach was very private enjoyed that as well. Overall our stay was amazing and would love to be able to stay there again. We had so much fun <3 provided us with some detergent to wash clothes I thought that was thoughtful.

Poseidon - Beach Carriage House - 120 Years Old
Cozy and peaceful spot right by the beach. John was very welcoming and proactive in making sure the property was always well-maintained. We enjoyed our stay!

3 BR Bay Home w Private Dock & all the Amenities
Our trip to The Half Shell Haven was great! The place was clean, extremely well stocked, and included many extras! We had crazy weather the first two days, but we had plenty to do at the house. My boys loved being on the water and the game room and my daughter loved the hot tub and bicycling. My daughters service dog enjoyed a nice reprieve and seemed so happy. We had a great time, and were honestly sad to go! If we find ourselves back up in Virginia we will definitely stay here! Thank you for the care and attention to detail to ensure a great trip!

The Crab Shack
This rustic little waterfront cottage is located on the serene banks of Carters Creek. My wife enjoyed relaxing on the covered porch with a glass of wine as the sun went down. It was a perfect weekend getaway.

Beachfront Cottage
My husband and I spent a week at the beach cottage. The location is unbeatable, just steps to the beach. If you are not fond of the sand, you can sit in the porch and enjoy the view. You will not want to leave! The house was clean and exactly as pictured. Cecilio and his wife answered promptly all of my questions about places to eat and things to do. If you enjoy fishing, the Ocean View pier (longest in the State of Virginia) is just a half a mile walk from the house, or a short drive. You can rent fishing poles, buy bait, and feel like a local. You can also get some crab traps and get blue crabs. The pier has a restaurant with a nice view and a full bar. The beach right outside the house feels private. It is the perfect place to relax and enjoy a good book. If you like water activities, the cottage has plenty of beach gear, including paddle boarding, and kayaks. We wanted to relax and reconnect, and this place was the perfect spot for us. Highly recommended.

Comfy three bedroom cottage - easy beach access
We had an amazing stay at Phil and Donnaâs beach house in Norfolk! The location was perfectâjust a short walk to the beach. The house was spotless, well-maintained, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay, whether short or long-term. We really appreciated the keyless entry and all the thoughtful touches throughout the home. Being able to bring our dog was a huge plusâshe had a great time too! Phil and Donna were wonderful hosts, and everything about our stay was truly perfect. We canât wait to come back!

Modern 2 Bdrm Cottage in Historic River Community
As serene as it gets (except Wednesday is the mowing day, but didnât bother us). Renee is super responsive, which helped a lot. The place is clean and very relaxing, it is remote though, any big city you want to drive to is 1.5-2hr drive. Had fun fishing from the dock, so many catfish there, anyone can catch. Friendly neighbors. Water is on the soft side. Fridge and cupboard had spices and condiments, and a water filter, which was a big plus. Pots and pans need replacing, thatâs probably the only negative. Would come back in a heartbeat. Thanks Renee and Ed!

Key Lime Cottage - Your Beachside Retreat
Such a great location - just a short walk from the beach. Front porch is a great place in the mornings and evenings. The dining room and living room fit our group well and we squeezed in the bedrooms (4 couples + 6 kids all 3 and under) but it was perfect since we spent most time outside anyways! Adam was super helpful and quick to respond when we needed a few items. Would definitely visit again!

Cottage on Prentice Creek, PA
I cannot find the words to express our families stay. When I say this was the best stay at an ABNB we have had thus far it was. The outside itself from the landscaping to the scenery was breathtaking. Checking in was a breeze. Once inside pictures cannot begin to show the beauty of this property. The hosts have really thought through a guest experience. They went over and beyond hosts duties adding extreme attention to details. Anything and everything you may need or want for your stay was there. Even with all the extra amenities and the beauty of the home our family instantly felt at home. We loved our stay so much we have already booked our next stay.

Dog friendly, large fenced yard! 1st Floor Bedroom
Our stay with family was a blast! We had beautiful weather for our stay and the front porch was our favorite for hanging out! And the fireplace was nice and cozy on the cooler mornings. The location is so convenient for walking downtown to restaurants and shops. Thanks for sharing your little piece of paradise!

Creeks End Farmhouse
The home sits on a nice point of land at the end of a quiet road. It is a nice mix of early 20th century charm and modern with spacious living room, kitchen, and bedrooms. The living room and large deck allow unobstructed views of the water. The home is well-kept, clean, and includes everything you need for a pleasant getaway. And, it is a short (10 min.) drive to the shops and restaurants in Kilmarnock. A relaxing, recommended stay.

Locklies Innlet, A unique waterfront experience!
What a perfect cottage! Beautifully (but comfortably) furnished, right on the water, incredibly well-stocked. Arranged so families can spread out, or gather together. Everything you could possibly require or desire for a vacation or getaway was there. And the area is full of things to do--walks, birdwatching, antiquing, or, if you're an architecture geek like me, historic sites and buildings. You're also a 3-minute walk from the best restaurant on the Northern Neck, Merroir Tasting Room. Can't wait to come back.

The Little House at Waveland
Dianaâs place was great! Beautiful beach area thatâs a short walking distance on the property. Great communication, and easy checkin/out. Would definitely stay again.

Unique & bright two-bedroom waterfront cottage
We loved staying at this beautiful and peaceful house! The house cozy and we felt right at home! It even snowed when we stayed in Delaville! The sunset was gorgeous and it even more amazing with a layer of snow! Would definitely love to come visit again in the summer! Thanks for a lovely weekend!

White Heron Cottage
We had an amazing stay at White Heron Cottage! It was clean, bright, and quiet. Ashley was incredibly responsive and made everything easy. We will definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great Airbnb experience!

"Bee Haven" Cottage Retreat
My parents and I stayed here for four days. It was the perfect peaceful getaway for us. The place was really cute, two bedrooms with queen size beds, a large bathroom, and the cutest kitchen-living room area. Gloucester is a sweet town to hang out in, and the host gave some great recommendations for local places to check out. Wonderful place, we will be coming back!!

Sarah's Creek Starlight
I can't say enough how wonderful it was to stay at this little cottage for my working vacation! I felt right at home when I walked in the door. I arrived right at sunset and the views were just amazing. This is now my go-to place every time I visit the Gloucester County area! Everything was spotless and clean. WiFi was very good (I unfortunately had to work while I was there). The owners James and Ann were amazing, welcoming, responsive and had great communication. I highly recommend this as THE place to stay - I don't think I could have chosen a better spot!! Thank you for having me!

Historic Ware River Cottage at Glebefield
What a wonderfully charming and peaceful cottage, and it was absolutely perfect for a quiet getaway. Having Nuttallâs Store just a short drive away was so convenient for necessities, and their steaks and sandwiches are amazing! Thanks for everything âşď¸

Haddie James House - A Coastal Va AirBnB
Absolutely loved staying at this adorable cottage! It was a really cozy place to relax when we werenât working on our boat at nearby Zimmermanâs marine. Especially enjoyed the fun decor and the gorgeous blooming camellia outside the bedroom window. My husband loved the big shower! Wish the weather had been better so we might have been able to use the dock and kayaks. Hosts are super responsive and friendly. Would definitely stay here again!
