7. Family-friendly condo with pool access (from USD 200)
If you’re staying in Virginia Beach, there’s no other place to stay but the stunning, riveting, and action-filled boardwalk. And what better a place than a gorgeous oceanfront condo. The condo features two bedrooms with a king bed in one and two double beds in the other, and a living and a dining room, as well as a fully equipped kitchen and a TV. The highlight, however, is the balcony overlooking the boardwalk, which is the centre of all the Virginia action and fun. Grab bikes or skateboards and just cruise down the boardwalk or simply walk along the beach. Dig into delicious food or sip on cocktails in the many restaurants and bars along the ocean. Prop up a chair and umbrella and simply curl up with a book. The best part is that after that swim in the ocean, you can rinse yourself under the exterior shower in the condo and never worry about getting sand inside the house!
