Virginia Beach vacation rentals

3 bedroom private home a block from the beach!
Beautiful home! Loved the decor. Felt like a home instead of a house. Easiest check out EVER!

The Hunt's Beach House
Very comfortable & great location. 1 blk from beach. Perfect for our stay, love to bring fam back some time. Only thing was a surprise that shampoo/body wash amenities were not supplied. Everything else was great! Perfectly clean & nice spacious layout.

Coastal Living Marina & Beach House
Brandon was an awesome host. The location is amazing. Really was great to walk to any nice restaurant, but you weren't located on the main street. Better than I could have imagined.

Oceanfront Penthouse
We enjoyed our family vacation very much. We booked with Debbie two years ago, and we had to book again. We plan to return to Debbie’s place in the future! The balcony is so beautiful with a great view of the beach sunrise.

Lakefront House @ Oceanfront
Responsive even before I booked. As pictured. Accommodated 5 of us very comfortably. Friends stayed one half block up I liked our place much better!

Oceanfront Getaway-Beach & Restaurants in VIBE!
The airbnb was so nice! It was good location and walking distance to beach. It was very clean and nice space for big group.

Family beach home with 1st floor master bedroom
We stayed at Xiaoming's Airbnb in Norfolk, Virginia, for 30 days while our home in Virginia Beach was under repair, and it was truly a fantastic experience. From the moment we walked in, the house was immaculate, with a fresh, clean smell. Xiaoming went above and beyond to accommodate our pets, making it an ideal space for our German Shepherd to run and play in the backyard. Our two young children had plenty of room to play as well, which made our stay stress-free. The downstairs master bedroom was perfect for getting our day started easily, and the location couldn't be better—just a short drive to amazing restaurants and beach access. The outdoor grilling area and porch became our favorite lunch spot, giving that summer vibe, even on chilly days. Having access to the garage was a huge bonus, keeping our vehicle clean and giving our dog a comfortable spot to sleep and eat without any worry about dirt inside the house. All in all, it was a wonderful stay. Highly Recommend!

Vacation Homes at Buckroe Beach! Sleeps 10 3
This is my 3rd year staying at one of Lynn’s properties. It is in an amazing location very close to the reason/location that I visit each year. I love the home and plan to book here once a year every single year when ai visit the area. Great host, great home, and great location.

Good Vibes VB
The Airbnb was absolutely spotless, clean, and filled with all of the necessities that you could think of. The host was amazing during our stay with them and even stopped by to clear the snow as we got about a foot of snow during our stay. Host was extremely responsive and was accommodating to any and every need that we needed. I appreciate your hospitality and look forward to staying with you again! Thank you so much for everything!

Cozy beach cottage! One block to the beach!
We had a very relaxing time at Kenzi's beach house, on a quiet street a block away from the beach. Plenty of room inside the house plus a great fenced in back yard with deck. The house was super clean and comfortable with plenty of room for everyone. Highly recommend.

At Oceanside on the gold coast in the North End!
The home was fantastic and Julie was extremely hospitable!

Quiet East Beach Bungalow, 1 block to beach!
Scorno was the best host!! We were in Norfolk for work, and our original place was not in a safe area. This place saved us!! Scorno allowed us to make a last minute booking, and was even flexible to let us change our check-out date when we needed to leave early. I’ve never had a better host experience! The pictures don’t do this place justice…it feels even bigger than the photos and is so clean and bright. The bed was super comfortable, and the kitchen was well stocked.

Cozy North End Cottage 1 block from the sand!
Loved staying at Merry’s! She was excellent at communicating and accommodating an extra request I had. Very close to the beach, and I loved the home’s personality. Would highly recommend.

Chicks Beachfront
The location is fantastic- right on the water. We also loved the pet-friendly policy. The home is what you can expect from a beach house, very simple and has a lived-in feel. If you’re looking for luxury, this is not the place for you. The hosts were very responsive to messages and answered questions about the property promptly. Overall, we enjoyed our stay here!

Family hideaway
Our stay was fantastic and the Christmas decorations made for a wonderful stay.

Stunning Views of Back Bay & Seconds to the Beach
What a beautiful and serene space for a women’s retreat! It is very obvious that the home is very well loved as well as very special. We all discussed coming back again because we enjoyed the space, the comfort and the scenery very much. We thoroughly enjoyed the great blue heron right outside the window each day as well as breathtaking sunsets. It was hard to get back to the grind after such a beautiful sanctuary weekend away.

Sojourn Guest House: Buckroe Beach Suite B
After being disappinted with the local hotels on several occasions I decided to give Airbnb a try. I found this little gem. I stayed one night. It was very clean. The bed was comfortable. The community was quiet. It was very convenient to Hampton University, some good restaurants, and the Peninsula Town Center. I would stay there again.

Getaway Minutes from the Beach
We were visiting my son who is stationed at Langley Air Force Base. This bnb is close to the base and downtown Hampton. Lots of cute and friendly restaurants and shops in Hampton. Would definitely recommend!

Private apartment only 3 blocks from the Beach
Great space, list of local things to do on the table when you walk in. Comfortable couch and bed. Bathroom was cleaned and stocked with some supplies such as tampons, pads, q-tips

VA Beach Oceanfront Studio, Beach, Boardwalk, Pool
Great location! I loved that it is positioned to enjoy the sun at the pool (while the nearby high rise buildings get shaded too early in the afternoon). And plenty of good pool umbrella’s if needed for shade.

Tree Top Beach Bungalow 3 1/2 blocks fr beach
We had a great stay at Kim and Holmes place. We were in town off season for a volleyball tournament so only stayed 2 nights. Holmes was very friendly and accommodating. The place was spotless and had a pleasant smell too. You can tell they care a lot about their place and want their guests to be comfortable

5 Minute Walk to the Beach!
Very easy to check-in and out. Answered quickly when asked about anything. Calm area with many places to check out, loved that it was 5 mins from the beach.

The SEA-clusion III
nice place, needs a door on the room , better cleaner.

Walk to the Beach from Pretty Inn Pink
Thank you so much Kristina! I was having trouble booking with quite a few places in the area and had messaged their hosts. She was one of the only ones that responded in a couple hours and helped to work out the kinks. As a pink and vintage loving girl, this place is right up my alley! It had a nostalgic and homey feel to it with a deceiving amount of space, the three bedrooms were more than enough room for our group. It was clean and comforting. The kitchen was also a welcome surprise. The best thing about this BNB was the location, it’s absolutely perfect. It was about 15 mins from our workplace and a couple mins all around from a lot of the major restaurants and attractions. We came in late on Friday and were able to find a restaurant serving food & drinks until 2am that was less than 5 mins away. Lastly, I’d like to say thank you to Kristina for being so warm, approachable, and responsive, she was willing to flex check in&out times, and overall just so positive. A true host 🤍

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.
