Tucked between the Chesapeake Bay and Willoughby Bay, Willoughby Spit is a quiet, quirky peninsula in Norfolk with a charm all its own. This relaxed waterfront community is known for its stretch of uncrowded, sandy beaches, where locals and visitors alike stroll with coffee at sunrise and gather for golden-hour swims. You’ll find a mix of classic beach cottages, salty shacks, and new builds, all steps from the shore. Willoughby locals are fiercely loyal to their slice of coastal life — where crab traps are common yard décor, beach chairs stay out year-round, and everyone knows the best spot for a fried shrimp basket (hint: it’s probably across the street at the Willoughby Fish House).
Life here moves with the tide: morning walks on 13th View Beach, paddleboarding through the calm bay waters, casting a line off Harrison's Fishing Pier, or biking to Ocean View’s farmer’s market. Evenings often end with toes in the sand, a drink in hand, and the sight of Navy ships gliding toward the horizon. Staying in Willoughby Spit means trading traffic for sea breezes, and schedules for sunsets — a true locals’ beach escape that still feels undiscovered.
Easy access to I-64, Hampton Roads Transit, close to marinas and scenic routes ideal for biking or boating
Local Gems:
- Willoughby Spit Beach: Quiet sands and calm bay waters, perfect for locals
- COVA Brewing Company: A laid-back spot for coffee by day, beer by night
- Ocean View Fishing Pier: Catch dinner or just enjoy the view over open water

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.

While most booking platforms include the pet fee upon reservation, any exclusions will be invoiced at $15 per night for stays up to 30 days and $450 total for stays 31 days or longer. Kindly inform us of any pets joining your stay so we may update your reservation accordingly. We do love furry companions, but we do have some properties that are not pet-friendly. If you’re traveling with a pet please ensure this is a pet-welcoming home. If it is not, we’d be happy to recommend one of our many pet-friendly stays.

We had a great stay! The space was very clean and looked exactly like the photos. It was just the right size for two people—cozy but comfortable. The kitchen was well-equipped, even though we didn’t end up using it much. One of the best parts was how close it was to the beach—just a quick walk across the street! Check-in was super easy, and the host was very responsive throughout our stay. Would definitely recommend! Wonderful host: communicates promptly and clearly
The apartment is lovely.
The kitchen is a bit small.
There is access point to the beach, which is not very far from the apartment AC unit broken down 4 days into stay, but was replaced next day. Other than that no complaints. Great little place! All I needed for a weekend trip, and location was perfect for quick access to the beach.
