Summary:

The Neighborhood:
Tucked along Norfolk’s northern edge, the Ocean View neighborhood blends laid-back coastal charm with a strong sense of community and history. With nearly seven miles of Chesapeake Bay shoreline, Ocean View is where locals gather for beach bonfires, fishing off the pier, or evening walks as the sun sets over the bay. The neighborhood is known for its relaxed vibe—porch swings and crab boils, kids riding bikes to the water, and neighbors who still wave hello. Ocean View Avenue anchors the area, lined with unpretentious seafood joints, long-standing diners, and locally owned shops that have served generations. You’ll find live music on warm nights, community festivals, and a deep appreciation for life by the water. Whether you're paddle boarding at sunrise, grabbing a cold drink at a bayside bar, or just enjoying the view from your front steps, Ocean View offers more than just a beach—it offers a lifestyle rooted in simplicity, salt air, and a welcoming spirit you’ll feel right away.
Getting Around:

You’ll receive a direct message from Truvi to complete your verification and purchase a damage waiver. Please complete this step before check-in. Visit Truvi’s website to learn more.
Property Access & Maintenance
From time to time, our homes may require preventative or emergency maintenance or during long term stays, a showing to prospective tenants. While we make every effort to avoid any interruptions to your stay, Sojourn reserves the right to access the property after providing 24 hours’ written notice. Your comfort is our priority, and we appreciate your understanding.
Baby Gear
Traveling with little ones? We’re happy to offer one Pack & Play, one crib, and one high chair, which are already in the home for your convenience at no additional cost. If you are coming with more tiny tots, please inquire about reserving more.
Parking Information
