1. Ship ahoy! Charming cottage on the bay (from USD 250)
Overlooking Back Bay in Sandbridge Beach, this waterfront cottage is an awesome home base. If you don’t feel like doing the 15 mile (24 km) drive to the lively Virginia Beach Oceanfront, explore the Sandbridge Beach area with its relatively uncrowded beaches and serene atmosphere. The wide covered porch is great for lazy morning and evenings, just to take in the lovely views and gentle breeze. With a nautical colour palette, the interior is reminiscent of a ship’s cabin, calm and soothing to the eyes. The cottage sleeps 4: 2 in the bedroom, and 2 on the queen-sized sleeper sofa in the living room. Hang out by the dock and dip your feet in the water. If you’re feeling adventurous, make use of the provided kayak to sail off into the sunset.

2. Sublime sunsets: mid-century modern lakefront estate (From 147 USD)
This one-level estate is seated on the banks of Lake Whitehurst, 5 minutes from Chesapeake Bay and the Norfolk Botanical Garden, and a short drive away from Virginia Beach Oceanfront and boardwalk.

Large glass windows let abundant amounts of sunlight in and provide scenic views of the lake outside. As someone taps out a mellow tune on the piano, cosy up on the couch and let your mind drift to happy thoughts. Have a drink or two at the bar counter, and then ease into the frothy hot tub. Delightful! The house is perfect for a group of 6, with 2 bedrooms and a queen-sized pullout sofa in the living room. Get front-seat views on your front lawn as the setting sun casts rays of shimmering gold on the calm lake waters.

3. Adorable and endearing: cottage in the heart of the old beach area (from USD 222)
This baby-pink cottage is just four blocks from the ocean, so you easily walk to the beach for a day of sun and surf. The garden is filled with the scent of flowers and you are free to help yourself to the fresh mint, basil, and any vegetables that happen to be ripe. You can’t get fresher than that! Brew a pot of coffee or tea and relax in the shade of the screened porch. Tinker around in the kitchen and whip up a sumptuous basket of picnic foods to take to the beach. Pleasantly tired by your day’s activities by the sea, curl up in the elegant poster bed and sink into a deep dreamless sleep.

5. Magnificent manor: traditional house by the sea (From 380 USD)
This exclusive manor is located at Sandbridge, giving you access to quiet beaches and unobstructed views of the ocean. Cathedral ceilings and large glass windows that illuminate the common areas really make the place feel light and airy. Bright and spacious, there’s room for everyone to spread out or gather around for late-night conversations. Good food and panoramic views go hand in hand. Indoors, outdoors, there’s plenty to do here. Grab a book from the well-stocked library or play a game of pool / ping-pong if the weather is stormy outside. There’s no better lullaby than the gentle crash of waves upon the sandy shore. Two of the 4 bedrooms have access to a private deck, bringing you closer to the salty spray of the ocean.

Go with the flow at Virginia Beach
The best thing about beach vacations is that you don’t have to stick to a fixed itinerary. Spend your whole day lazing on golden sands, chasing the surf, or reading a novel in a sidewalk cafe. If the weather makes outdoor activities impossible, chilling inside your HomeAway and VRBO vacation home in the company of friends and family is just as enjoyable. Have a great time in Virginia Beach!
