At the confluence of the Atlantic Ocean and the Chesapeake Bay, Virginia Beach—VB or VA (“Vah”) Beach to locals—has been luring in vacationers to its sunny seashores since the late 1800s. Today, people flock to the city for its 35 miles of sandy shoreline (the world’s longest pleasure beach, according to the Guinness World Records), three-mile boardwalk, and spectacular vacation rentals perfect for enjoying a few days by the water. After over a decade of visiting, I still haven’t tired of soaking up the warmth of VB’s beaches and the beauty of its nature preserves. And with a population of nearly half a million, the city is diverse and eclectic, offering everything from ballet and chamber music to rollerblading, kayaking, and drag shows.
While it didn’t earn the moniker “Resort City” for nothing (it’s home to nearly 150 hotels, after all), Virginia Beach is a city well experienced from an Airbnb or vacation rental. From the comfort of a private residence, your weekend away can quickly become a dreamy oasis for the whole family. Luckily, there are plenty of great options to choose from, especially in top areas like the Vibe and Resort Districts. Below, find our top 11 Airbnbs in Virginia Beach, from waterfront bungalows to modern condos with all the amenities.
