Virginia Beach beach vacation rentals

Cobblestone street apartment with rooftop views!
Beautiful unique space. Large rooms, clean. Area is very walkable. Highly recommend

Cozy beach cottage! One block to the beach!
Place was perfect for our one night stay. Amazing food nearby along with beach…walkable distance!!

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.

@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!!

Stunning Views of Back Bay & Seconds to the Beach
Great location and host. The home was the perfect size for my family and friends.

The Tree House at Old Beach
Really enjoyed the space! The downstairs felt very functional with a spacious kitchen. The upstairs is essentially two hotel suites with the key being two full baths. The spiral staircase is a charming touch and the best part is the front deck. It’s spacious with plenty of seating so you can truly enjoy beach living. The hosts gave clear instructions and it was an easy check-out. The neighborhood is peaceful yet only a short walk to the heart of Virginia Beach’s boardwalk. I highly recommend staying at this home!

The Inlet: Quiet Neighborhood 3 Blocks to Beach
Bebe’s place was amazing and just what we needed for our weekend getaway. Her responsiveness and kindness were above & beyond and much appreciated. The place was perfect for 2 people and well-appointed. The area felt very safe! Highly recommend and will return if I come back to this city. Thanks again Bebe!

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!

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!

Solo/Couple's Escape in Sandbridge, Virginia Beach
Debra was an incredible host. The space was clean, bigger than expected and had everything you could expect in the house plus more. She also surprised us with snacks and drinks! The space was nice and quiet. We had a separate entrance to the bottom half of the home and we never heard anything upstairs. We would absolutely come back again and we highly recommend this air bnb!

Fully Renovated Beach Loft Block Off OceanFront
We loved our stay, it’s easy walking distance to the beach and other attractions, 5 min drive to the aquarium. The place was very clean, no sand or anything in the unit upon check in and we overall had a very positive experience.

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
This is an outstanding property. Beautiful surroundings and the accommodation and furnishings are like new! April was a great hostess and took care to ensure we had everything we needed. The dedicated access to the space either via the dedicated elevator or spiral staircase to the veranda were outstanding and made getting in/out of the unit easy with bags and groceries. I was also impressed with the well appointed kitchen and appliances as well as great knives and outdoor grill! Definitely a property we’d like to use again when we visit Virginia Beach!!

Seize the Bay
What a wonderful job our hosts did! They provided all the supplies we could possibly need and then some! They truly thought of everything. We only had to buy food for ourselves, while most air bnb’s we’ve stayed in have one roll of toilet paper, one roll of paper towels, one trash bag, a tiny bottle of dish soap, etc. It felt more like staying at a friend’s home than a stranger’s. It was very short walk to the beach, which was very convenient. The beds were incredibly comfortable and having a recent back injury, this made a huge difference for me. They provided clear instructions about everything, we never had a need to contact them, though I’m sure they would’ve been very responsive if we had. I don’t have any complaints or suggestions for improvement at all!

Oceanfront Views! 2 BR, 2 BATH!
Our stay was amazing!. Sierra's place was impeccable. The place was spotless, just as advertise in the pictures. I'll be booking again soon.

Private 1 Bed Apt - Historic Olde Towne Portsmouth
Leo’s Airbnb was GREAT. He was extremely responsive and helpful. Had great recommendations for places to grab a bite to eat. The Airbnb itself was great, quiet, and clean. I would definitely suggest booking with him!

Sojourn Guest House: Buckroe Beach Suite B
Seamless, easy, clean. The location was perfect for us with easy access to the beach and major roads. Our stay here was amazing and simple.

VA Beach Oceanfront Studio, Beach, Boardwalk, Pool
We really enjoyed our stay at Josh & Maegan’s place right on the beach! The building is on the last block of the boardwalk, which is a great location because you can get right on the boardwalk directly outside the building, but since it's at the end of the boardwalk, it is much quieter and less busy than further down. The building is older but very well kept up, as was the apartment. The building's pool is small but nice, and there is a grassy sitting area with chairs and tables directly off the beach, which was lovely to sit at. The apartment is small (would not recommend three people squeezing in there), but perfect for two people if you are not spending much time inside and has all the amenities you need to cook simple meals. I would absolutely stay again!

English Basement Hide-Away
Its a nice cozy spot thats right by the water with plenty of restaurants to check out near by. A majority of them are walkable distances. There is also easy access to the highway if needed to travel further out. The area is very quiet with almost no noise. Surrounded by a community of families so you'll quickly feel right at home.

Cozy 3-Bedroom Beach Bungalow Short walk to Beach
Incredible place to stay at! Only 30 minute drive from VA beach. This is a nice, private and peaceful place at stay. 10/10 I highly recommend. Kati and Robert were fantastic hosts, who were both incredibly helpful and quick to respond if we had any questions.

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!

Centrally Located Sleek Studio Apartment
My husband and I visited Steff's AirBnB on our Honeymoon and were beyond pleased! She provided so much for her guests, including eggs and bacon for breakfast!! Her space was so clean and welcoming. It was the perfect, quiet spot for us. I found the bed to be a little too firm for my personal taste, but I still got a decent enough night sleep and I will absolutely be back if we come down to Williamsburg again. The backyard was so adorable and peaceful! I only wish the weather would have been better to enjoy the fire pit and smores kit!! Thank you Steff for having us!

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!

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.
