The Neighborhood:

Tucked among tree-lined streets and historic homes, the Ghent neighborhood of Norfolk feels like a storybook come to life. Just minutes from downtown, this charming district invites long walks past century-old architecture, mornings spent in cozy cafés, and afternoons browsing local bookshops and boutiques. It's a place where art and culture are woven into daily life, where you might wander into the Chrysler Museum of Art or catch a classic film at the beloved Naro Theater.



On weekends, the scent of something delicious drifts from neighborhood favorites like No Frill Grill and Press 626, and Doumar’s serves up ice cream in the world’s first waffle cone. Just a short drive away, the wide, sandy stretch of Ocean View Beach offers a change of pace: sun-drenched afternoons, salty breezes, and quiet moments by the water.



This home is conveniently listed in wonderful school districts including Granby Elementary, Blair Middle, and Granby High Schools.



Ghent comes alive with festivals, music, and laughter in places like Stockley Gardens, yet still holds onto a peaceful, close-knit charm. In this neighborhood, every corner feels like a page waiting to be turned. A true Norfolk gem, full of warmth, character, and the magic of community.

Your comfort is our priority, and we appreciate your understanding.

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.
