The house is the first private home on Winston Salem Ave (aka 5th Street) from the beach and boardwalk and directly faces one of the most Instagrammed spots in Virginia Beach, Rudee Inlet, a must-visit for locals and visitors alike. This popular hub of marinas and restaurants is the launching point for water sports, boat tours, parasailing, jet skis, paddle boards and fishing charters...and you have a front row seat! Start your morning with coffee and watch the sunrise over Rudee Inlet as it opens on to the Atlantic Ocean on one of four private balconies and porches, complete with chairs and bistro tables. Next, take a very short walk to the beach for an unforgettable classic beach day on the wide, sandy beach. If you feel more adventurous, try catching some waves on a boogie or surfboard. No need to worry about beach accessories. We provide a beach cart, umbrella, beach chairs (4), boogie boards (2), cooler, and beach towels. If you have kids in tow, visit Grommet Island, a 15,000 square foot beach park featuring an incredible playground at 2nd Street. Clean, public restrooms are available. We also provide a pack n play, high chair, and stroller. As the sun begins to set, listen to live music, watch street performers, sit at outdoor cafes, or take a walk, jog, or cruise (4 beach cruiser bikes are provided) down the three-mile Boardwalk. After a day on the water or at the beach, sit on one of the private porches overlooking the boats and water with a cold drink or head to one of the great happy hours close by (Waterman’s is home to the Virginia Beach famous Orange Crush!). Head to dinner (or order in!) from one of the restaurants just steps away with some of the freshest seafood in town. Big Sam’s (a locals’ favorite small and unassuming seafood shack), Rudee’s Restaurant and Cabana Bar (open air seating known for their unique gliding tables overlooking the marinas), and Rockafeller’s (offering great views and seafood and produce from local fishermen, oystermen, and farmers) all overlook the water and each offer a unique take on fresh seafood pulled straight from the Chesapeake Bay and Atlantic Ocean. The perfect way to wind down the day is in your private, spacious, and relaxing home, set back from all the excitement. High quality sheets and pillows and room darkening drapes will help you sleep like a baby. Sleeps up to 10. Minimum nights stay varies depending on season. Airbnb collects 6% state of Virginia lodging tax. However, Airbnb does not collect lodging tax due to the City of Virginia Beach. This 8% tax + $2 per night required by Virginia Beach lodging tax is collected as a “management fee”. *****FIRST FLOOR***** LIVING ROOM: -Sectional couch -Large Ottoman -Console Table -2 accent chairs -4 Poufs for floor lounging -Gas Fireplace -50 inch TV w/ cable TV -Side table with Lamp -Blackout drapes for room darkening -Recessed lighting -Overhead light fixture with dimmer PORCH OVERLOOKING MARINA: -4 chairs -2 bistro tables SECOND LIVING AREA: -Couch -4 accent chairs w/ side tables -Coffee table -2 poufs -Games -Blackout drapes for room darkening -2 loveseats -Coffee table -Side Table 1/2 BATH KITCHEN: -Granite countertops -Stainless appliances -Dishwasher -8 ft center island with seating for 6 -Large Kitchen table (seats up to 8) -Banquette Seating -Pantry -Coffee Bar -Recessed lighting -Under cabinet lighting - Service for 20 and fully equipped FOYER: -Console table -Sputnik lighting GARAGE: -Full size refrigerator -4 beach Cruiser Bikes w/ locks (if you choose to use bikes, locks must be used) -4 Beach chairs -Beach tent -Beach cart -2 Boogie Boards -Cooler -Gas Grill SIDE PORCH: -1 chair -1 side table ******SECOND FLOOR****** MASTER BEDROOM: -King canopy bed -Blackout drapes for room darkening -50 inch TV w/ cable TV -Dresser with 7 drawers -2 side tables with lamps -Coffee table -Large Chandelier -Keurig -Private Balcony over looking marina w/seating & bistro tables (4 chairs, 2 tables) -Large private Master Bath with separate toilet closet, jetted tub with capiz chandelier, walk-in shower, hair dryer, basic toiletries -His and Hers slippers -Large walk-in closet with 2 luggage racks -Full length mirror KING BEDROOM: -King Upholstered Bed -Crystal Chandelier -2 Side tables with lamps -Dresser with 7 drawers -32 inch TV w/ cable TV -Black out drapes for room darkening -2 luggage racks -Full length mirror -Private Balcony with water view and 2 chairs and 1 side table QUEEN BEDROOM: -Canopy Queen Bed -Two Side Tables with lamps -Dresser with 7 drawers -32 inch TV w/ cable TV -Orb Chandelier -Blackout drapes for room darkening -2 Luggage Racks -Full length mirror BUNK ROOM: -Two sets of bunk beds (twin over twin) -Sleeper sofa (twin) -Blackout drapes for room darkening -Dresser -32 inch TV w/ cable TV -2 luggage racks -Dollhouse and toys -Full length mirror FULL BATH -Tub with Shower -Hairdryer -Basic Toiletries LAUNDRY AREA: -Washer -Dryer -Iron -Ironing Board -Detergent/Dryer Sheets DETAILED DESCRIPTION: *****FIRST FLOOR**** Open floor plan with lots of natural light and 9ft ceilings on first floor.

THE WAVE TROLLEY * BIKES * BIRD SCOOTERS * UBER/LYFT ******The WAVE TROLLEY, operated by Hampton Roads Transit (HRT), makes it easy to get around the oceanfront Resort Beach area.

The Atlantic Avenue Shuttle (Route 30) leads to restaurants and oceanfront attractions, with service every 15 minutes, 8 a.m.-2 a.m. daily, May through September. SEASONAL: HRT also operates two seasonal bus shuttle routes from the Resort Beach that cater to visitors, taking you from the oceanfront to shopping and attraction destinations. The Bayfront Shuttle (Route 35) runs from the Virginia Beach Oceanfront (Resort Area) to First Landing State Park, through the North End beaches up to the Bayfront along Shore Drive (Bay Area). Service is offered about every 45 minutes, 8 a.m. – midnight daily, May 21 – Labor Day and Friday-Sunday September 8 – October 1.

You must use bike locks if using our bikes. Bike theft is rampant in the resort area. ******BIRD SCOOTERS The inexpensive electric scooters can be rented using a smartphone app, so no cash is required. When you reach your destination, the mobile app charges your payment method. Easy peasy. BIRD scooters can be found all over the oceanfront—and many times even right in front of the house. Please be aware that scooters are not allowed on the boardwalk. ******UBER and LYFT are alive and well in Virginia Beach!
