Virginia Beach

Virginia Beach: the place itself, not the view from this house.

People ask whether this is a beach house. It is not, and the beach is far enough away that we would rather say so here than have you find out on the road. Two hours and ten minutes on a Tuesday in March; three hours and twenty on a Friday afternoon in July, because everyone else in the state is on the same tunnel.

If the beach is the point of the week, book a house at the beach.
