Stunning Cottage in Historic Village

Camellia Cottage – Where History Meets Serenity. Nestled in the heart of Hilton Village, this "modern-vintage" gem is your gateway to coastal charm and timeless elegance. Wake up to the whispers of history, stroll through quaint streets and shops, and unwind by the firepit under Virginia’s beautiful skies. Perfect for families, professionals, and anyone craving a retreat that feels like home – only better. Just minutes from beaches, universities, and iconic landmarks. Step inside. Breathe. Discover your new favorite getaway. Conveniently located in Newport News, VA between Colonial Williamsburg and Virginia Beach, the Hilton Village neighborhood was built between 1918 and 1921 in response to the need for housing during World War I for employees of Newport News Shipbuilding. It is recognized as the United States' first Federal war-housing project. The Camellia Cottage was built in 1919 and is 1500 square feet. Naturally, it will have a few quirks due to generations of family enjoyment. It is a beautiful property, and we hope that you embrace its character and charm during your visit. In addition to short-term visits, we welcome mid- term stays! For traveling nurses, doctors, professionals, and your families, the cottage is minutes away from Riverside Regional Medical Center, Sentara Hospital, and Mary Immaculate Hospital. The cottage is also close to Ft. Eustis Army Base, Langley Airforce Base, and the Yorktown Naval Weapons Station. We are also in a very quiet neighborhood with a dedicated workspace. Special pricing is available for 7+ or 28 day stays. The house has a large primary bedroom upstairs equipped with a queen and twin bed. The second bedroom upstairs has a queen bed. The full bathroom with a tub is also upstairs. The eat-in kitchen is equipped with coffee/ tea supplies, spices, and everything you will need for a home-cooked meal. Additionally, there is a large dining room that is able to seat six guests for an elegant dinner together. Also, downstairs is a lovely living room and sunroom. You can enjoy watching children playing and neighbors walking their dogs. There is a fireplace, so you can relax at night with heating and color-producing faux fire logs. The third bedroom, which doubles as a family room, is downstairs and has a very comfortable sleeper sofa. This room includes a designated workspace and also exits to the outdoor patio for relaxing around the firepit, grilling, or enjoying what nature has to offer. We are still working on landscaping the backyard, so we request you look beyond any areas that have been seeded but have not yet begun growing grass. The home, quaint neighborhood, and all that Hampton Roads has to offer will certainly have you coming back for more! P.S. We welcome guests from all cultures and alternative lifestyles.
