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.

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.

Our neighborhood, Willoughby Spit has seen a great deal of history. Sea trade has sailed past its shores since the founding of the United States in the 1600`s. The neighborhood was created by The Great Coastal Hurricane on August 22, 1706. A few blocks from the Poseidon is the spot where President Abraham Lincoln came ashore to plan the Battle of Norfolk during the Civil War. From our front yard we still see commercial and naval ships as well as commercial watermen plying the historic Chesapeake Bay and still hear fog horns from these vessels.

This is a quiet beachfront neighborhood that is ideal for watching sunrises and sunsets over the Chesapeake Bay. Fish, crab, sail, kayak, paddle board, or just be a beachcomber. Ships have been visiting our area since 1607 and one never knows what historic artifact might wash up on our beaches. Sit under the pergola and watch the commercial fishermen plying the waters on their Chesapeake Deadrise john boats, look at the commercial shipping and warships coming in an out of the Hampton Roads Harbor. Underneath please find some of the places and activities that make this a wonderful waterfront neighborhood:

Historic Fort Monroe (about 5 miles away), located on the other side of the Hampton Roads Bridge Tunnel. This is where African slaves were first freed during the Civil War. The fort also protected the harbor for nearly 200 years

Chamberlain Hotel at Fort Monroe (about 5-miles away) - Features an extensive Sunday buffet overlooking the Chesapeake Bay. Long pants and button down shirts required and reservations are must

Ocean View Fishing Pier - located bout 2-miles to the east at the intersection of 1st View and W Ocean View Avenue, this pier is an entertainment complex of sorts. Tickets are sold for the pier`s head boats for half a day of fishing and sightseeing. There are two restaurants and a rooftop bar with live entertainment. Then there is a very long pier that is great for fishing and crabbing and there is free parking there too.

Ocean View Golf Course - located on Brooke Avenue and East Ocean View Avenue about 2 miles away. This is a 18 hole public golf course that is well played and well loved. It received a complete makeover in 2011 and it was christened by none other than Tiger Woods.

East Beach Marina District - located about 7 miles east off of Pretty Lake Avenue and East Ocean View Avenue. The area is home to several marinas and is home to Sail Time, where sailboats can be rented. There are several restaurants in-and-around the district and include Surfrider Restaurant (lunch and dinner), Longboards (lunch and dinner), Stoneys (lunch and Dinner), Sandfiddler Cafe (breakfast and lunch), Captain Groovy`s (lunch and dinner), and Karla`s House (breakfast and lunch). The OV Diner is closer and is located near the intersection of Granby Street and East Ocean View Avenue. The Willoughby Fish House and the Willoughby Bay Inn are located in the neighborhood and are less than a half mile away. I personally eat that these places many times a week, every week and would not recommend them if they were anything less than good

The Ocean View Shopping Center is located at 4th View and East Ocean View Avenue. It is a large shopping center with many stores that is about 2 miles away to the east. Several centers have sprouted up around there and that area was the neighborhood`s downtown many years ago. Here you will find a Harris Teeter Grocery Store, Subway Sandwich Shop, Nail Salons, Hair Salons, Barbers

Located 3-blocks from I-64, less than 5-minutes to the Willoughby Marina District, Ocean View Fishing Pier Ocean View Golf course, Norfolk Naval Base, and 10 minutes from Norfolk International Airport, NIT, ODU and Little Creek Base. Downtown Norfolk, Downtown Hampton, EVMS, and NSU are located less than 15-minutes away.
