About the room

Come stay for 3 to 5 months in this high-quality, fully furnished room in our lakefront home in Norfolk!

We welcome military personnel, nurses, digital nomads, students/interns, professionals on temporary work assignments. My husband and I are easy-going, everyday people who enjoy sharing our comfortable, well run home. We’re only 5 minutes from the beach and shopping, super convenient to Naval bases and interstates, and a straight shot into downtown Norfolk.

Your room has been set up specifically for a comfortable longer-term stay. We like pampering our guests a bit with a queen memory foam mattress and adjustable bed frame, for easy viewing of your favorites on the 50-inch Roku smart TV.

We’ve got you covered with complimentary high-speed internet, a desk in your room, great lighting, basic office supplies, and an alternative workspace in the living room. We can help with printing too.

Want to prepare your own meals? Make yourself at home in the well-equipped kitchen, with a gas stove, microwave, shared refrigerator, coffee maker, blender, pots, pans, plates, utensils, etc. Tea, coffee, and basic herbs and spices are complimentary.

You and one other guest will share the newly remodeled bathroom. It is down a short hall from your room. Also down the hall from you is a separate suite with private bath. My husband and i (and our cats) have private quarters on a different level in our tri-level home. The entryway, shared kitchen, living room, and dining room are on the floor between.

A free washer/dryer are on site. Parking is free, on the quiet residential street or on the paved driveway.

Security is likely vital to your peace of mind, and you will get a new unique code for your bedroom keypad lock.

The local shopping district with supermarket, pharmacy, restaurants, coffee shops is within 5 minutes. A wide assortment of large stores is grouped together about 12 minutes away. Downtown Norfolk is about 20 minutes, and Virginia Beach, about 30 minutes.

You will be living on a pretty lake! The neighborhood is safe, tucked away from the bustle. Our house is nestled in a little grove of 80-foot pines. The spacious backyard lawn slopes gently down to the water. You’re likely to see herons, jumping fish, ducks, or maybe an eagle.

Our best wish is that you feel at home and at ease here. That’s why we lay out a few simple, commonsense house rules. No smoking, pets, recreational drugs. Respect others. Clean up after yourself. Be responsible, friendly, and be of good will. Value the give and take of sharing living space. We ask you to fill in an application and pay for a background check ($30) so we know who you are and sign a lease to keep our agreements with one another clear.

We know living away from home can be stressful. We try to keep things simple, fresh, free-flowing, and lovely, so that you live and sleep well while you’re here. Come stay!

About the roomies

My husband and I are decent, kind-hearted folks who have enjoyed sharing our home with guests. We are professionals, working part-time from our home office. At times another guest or two may be living here on a temporary basis. Oh, our 3 cats live here too, and sometimes hang out in the shared spaces. We understand that sometimes you’d prefer privacy, other times social mingling. That’s fine with us: we’re that way too. We look forward to meeting you!
