Beach & Bay Stay at Sandbridge Beach this summer!
The host was so informative and friendly. She gave us great tips on local restaurants and resources! She encouraged us to ask questions which was very kind as it was our first trip to Sandbridge. The unit was super clean and well-stocked ! Great windows made it a very light and bright vacation. Excellent bed/mattress and kitchen/living room furnishings. The deck/covered porch was great as well to watch sunsets. We will come back.

North End Beach Cottage Apt - One Block from Beach
Our stay here was fantastic! Very close to the beach which you can walk to, and only a short drive away from the waterfront that has great restaurants and lots to do! The place itself was clean, quiet and the perfect size for 2 people. If you’re looking for something with great amenities for the size, and in a great location this is it!

The Hunt's Beach House
Perfect beach location on quiet North End with lots of parking and a short walk to the beach. Lots of space, inside and out, for relaxing and socializing.

Cottage 2 Blocks to Virginia Beach Oceanfront -III
We had a great time and stay here. The location is perfect and close to restaurants and the beach which is what we were looking for. Great little spot for a weekend trip!

@Whit’s End? Come in and Relax
Whit’s end was a wonderful vacation for my family. Perfect size place for my family of 6. Very short walk to the beach where we spent most of our time. Felt like we had the whole beach to ourselves which I loved. Nice playground very close by. Farmers market on Saturday which was very popular. Golf course 2 miles away that my husband and boys explored. Also a brewery in the neighborhood that was a nice bonus.

Seaglass Cottage
Perfect stay for our weekend getaway. The cottage was so cute and so clean. Susan was so friendly and even had a welcome sign with my name on it! So many recommendations and such great hospitality. Great location! We walked everywhere! Highly recommend!!

Oceanfront, beach, boardwalk, fun, dolphin, sunris
We enjoyed staying at Kelly's place in VB. Its an ideal location for anyone who wants to stay right at the boardwalk. We witnessed amazing sunrises and moonrises. The ocean was right in front of us and from the 6th floor, the view was expansive. A lot of restaurants were also nearby. Kelly was always very communicative, polite and professional. The apartment was clean with the kitchen well stocked with utensils The bedrooms were of a pretty large size. And parking was on the premises. Overall, it was a wonderful experience and holiday for us. We strongly recommend Kelly's place.

Private Beachfront Modern Villa: Outdoor Shower!
This was our second stay at this Airbnb and we were incredibly glad we decided to book again! The place is exactly as described, has all the beach supplies so you don’t need to pack it all, is just a quick walk to beach (awesome with kids), and the view can’t be beat. Heidi was an extremely responsive host who went above and beyond to make sure our stay was fantastic - you can tell her priority is the guest! My family of 5 plus a grandma enjoyed lazy mornings on the patio, taking in stunning sunsets over dinner, and long days on the beach (bathroom breaks back at the house are a snap due to the close proximity). The outdoor shower with warm water is especially helpful with kids! We will be back at least twice this upcoming year. Thanks for another great stay!

Croatan Beach Suite Retreat
Had a wonderful stay! The neighborhood / property is beautiful and peaceful. Just a short walk to the beach with mostly private neighborhood access. Hosts were extremely friendly and helpful but also respected our privacy. Everything was as described or better and we'd love to stay here again!

Upper Deck Beach Bungalow- Steps from the Ocean
Very peaceful!

Quaint Quarters Oceana
This was hands down one of the nicest Airbnb I’ve ever stayed at. The studio was beautifully decorated with stylish, comfy furniture and had everything I needed—including a fully stocked kitchen and a great bathroom. The bed was super comfortable, and the linens were of nice quality—not something every host puts thought into, but it makes such a difference! You could tell right away that the host, Shawn, really cares about making her guests feel at home. She had the kitchen stocked with appliances, snacks, and bottled water, which was such a nice touch. The bathroom had a big shower, plenty of towels, and even a cozy terry cloth robe. Shawn also included thoughtful extras like games, beach chairs, and pickleball paddles for the nearby courts. I had the chance to meet her while we were there, and she was so friendly and genuinely interested in making sure everyone has the best stay possible. You can tell she puts a lot of heart into hosting. I’ll definitely be coming back!

Peninsula Suite on the Lynnhaven River
April’s place was beautiful! It had everything we needed. It was spacious, comfortable and well-stocked. The view was peaceful and beautiful! April was responsive and ensured we received our items we accidentally left behind! Highly recommend this place to anyone traveling in the VA Beach area! Thank you to April and her family for the relaxing stay!

Splash of Lime Carova 4x4 Beach Cottage
We absolutely loved A Splash of Lime! The house was great for us and our 2 dogs! The kitchen had everything we could have asked for. The pool and hot tub were also a huge plus. Easy walk to the beach and you may even pass a few wild horses on the way! Thank you, Martin, for an excellent vacation home!

Coconut Cottage-Sleeps 2,Pool,Beach
Denise is so sweet, she packed the kitchen with water, coffee, fruit and snacks. She even messaged me to check on me when I was out late, knowing that I traveled there alone. I felt so cared for and would recommend and use her location again. Hopefully Soon, Thanks for everything❣️

Open house with Ocean views!
Amazing space, super clean, spacious, and comfortable, and literally steps away from the beach! Staci’s place was fully stocked with beach gear (including a boogie board, so fun!) and a closet full of board games. The top deck seating was great with a gorgeous view of the beach. The living room was also so cozy for movie nights. We never wanted to leave!

Spacious 2 bedroom apt in Historic Port Norfolk
I had a wonderful stay at Raisa’s apartment! The place is very close to the water and since it is pet friendly I brought my dog. The neighborhood is beautiful with lots of historic homes to walk around and look at. It’s also very close to the highway so it was easy to get around. Thank you so much!

Tree Top Beach Bungalow 3 1/2 blocks fr beach
Cute, clean, and cozy place! Hosts were extremely accommodating. The location is close to the beach but tucked away in a not-so-busy neighborhood, so you can walk to destinations while still having a private and quiet location. Would definitely recommend!

5 Minute Walk to the Beach!
We had a wonderful stay at Carrie’s place! Conveniently located for the beach and numerous other activities! Bed was very comfortable and the rest of the place was clean and well kept. Would love to stay here again!

Your guide to Virginia Beach
All About Virginia Beach
Surfers, swimmers, and sunbathers come to Virginia Beach to spend sunny days at the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay as it meets the Atlantic Ocean. The three-mile coastal boardwalk is lined with fresh-pressed juice shacks, pastry shops, and fashion boutiques, and there’s a separate lane for skaters and rollerbladers. Sweet saltwater taffy and maple nut fudge are traditional treats to savor along the shore, and local Lynnhaven oysters are an ever-popular mainstay on local menus.
For a commanding view of the bay, climb the 191 steps up Old Cape Henry Lighthouse — part of the journey involves climbing a tall ship’s ladder. Mount Trashmore provides an offbeat attraction that combines a skatepark, playground, and a grassy mound of reused landfill. If it’s been a while since your last surfing trip, Croatan Beach is the place to get some inspiration when it hosts the East Coast Surfing Championships.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Virginia Beach
Summer is by far the most popular season here, with the sun and sand attracting visitors looking for Virginia Beach condo rentals. Spring is a lovely time to visit, especially for those who enjoy the great outdoors and a mild climate. The fall is a not-so-well-kept secret in Virginia Beach, as pleasantly warm temperatures can extend well into September, allowing visitors to stretch out their stays with a little more space to breathe. This is also when the Neptune Festival showcases intricate sand sculptures along the shore. The holiday season is a big deal here, with plenty of festivities such as Holiday Lights at the Beach, the Surf-n-Santa 5 Miler, and the Christmas Market. The winter months also bring thousands of migrating birds to the bay, and this is the place to be for whale-watchers.
Top things to do in Virginia Beach
Marine Science Center
The Marine Science Center is committed to marine conservation through research, education, and sustainable practices. The center is focused on the study of native Chesapeake Bay marine animals and plants, though researchers have pursuits and interests that cover the world’s oceans and waterways. Take a boat tour to learn more about its work and the bay’s underwater residents.
Virginia Museum of Contemporary Art
Step back from the shore for a while and take a look around the collection at the Virginia Museum of Contemporary Art on Parks Avenue. The popular Boardwalk Art Show takes place over the summer months, and the alternative ViBe District is home to craftspeople, skate shops, and music venues.
Back Bay National Wildlife Refuge
Grab your paddle and set out for a leisurely afternoon on the water. Explore Chesapeake Bay, venture into Back Bay National Wildlife Refuge, or float further afield through the scenic Great Dismal Swamp. Harbor seals, black bears, bobcats, and even bald eagles can be spotted in the local area. Braving cooler temperatures in winter might even be rewarded with a humpback whale sighting.
