22. The Lois Elaine
This particular accommodation is a very unique place to stay. It’s a boat that is actually sits on the water. If travelers get sea sick, it’s not the best idea to stay here as the boat does occasionally rock back and forth from the waves of the water. Although it’s a very soothing way to fall asleep if sea sickness isn’t an issue. It’s also a beautiful view to wake up to as the sun on the water is such a pretty sight. The host is very responsive when it comes to any issues that guests could have. There is not a whole lot of space on board since it is technically a boat, but the whole space is decorated very nicely. The boat is docked in Willoughby Bay, and there is a tasty seafood restaurant just a few steps away from the boat. The location is perfect for those that want to live on the water for a few days.

Owners advise guests with little ones to bring their own pool floats for children as they do not have any to share. The kitchen and living area are shared with the owners of the home, but they don’t bother the guests. In the guest bedroom where guests will stay, is a queen sized bed as well as a twin sized sofa bed. The owners also have a pack and play for those with little ones, and there is an air mattress for the group that is traveling with four adults. The owners just ask that they are told of this before arrival so they can have it ready for their guests. There is one full bathroom and one half bathroom for guests to use while they are here.
26. Cozy cottage with private Yard
This is a quaint little cottage with one bedroom for a family or group of three. Guests can also enjoy a nice fenced in backyard if they have a small child that they want to keep an eye on or if they have a dog with them. In the one bedroom is a queen sized bed that will fit two people comfortably on and in the living room is a sofa bed that a child or another adult could use if there are more than two people staying in the home. The location is close to a lot of attractions like restaurants and breweries so the car won’t be needed so much for this trip. The home is always clean for the guests to stay in and the hosts are very kind people. They will help with any questions that arise or if guests need help finding something that is in town. This cottage is a quaint little place to stay in Norfolk.
