Family friendly beach house, 5 min walk to Croatan Beach and bike to boardwalk

We are Cathy and Chris, and we live in Alexandria, VA. We bought a house in Virginia Beach because Chris grew to love the area when he was in the Marines. We brought our son here as he was growing up and we have a lot of great memories of this area together. We bought the house some years ago in a kind of neglected state and we are using the rental income to upgrade it one winter project at a time. You will notice that all the bathrooms except for the main bedroom have been upgraded, the deck has been upgraded, and we've painted and done other things as well. We make up for the wear you can still see in places with amenities. But that aside, our hope is for other families to have great beach house memories together like our family does. It really is a special category of family vacation.

The neighborhood is on the beach, and it's biking distance to the boardwalk and some key local attractions like the Virginia Aquarium and adventure park, and the Ocean Breeze water park/go kart track.

We are an easy five minute walk to the beach, which works even with small children. We keep a rolling inventory of beach toys and we provide bicycles for those times driving isn't as good an option.
