The Schooner Inn – A Favorite for Families in Virginia Beach

The Schooner Inn offers an outdoor swimming pool with sun loungers and beach chairs for guest use. A 24-hour front desk, daily housekeeping, and laundry facilities are available on-site. Vending machines provide snacks and drinks, and free parking is included for all guests.

Guest rooms include a kitchenette with an oven, microwave, and refrigerator, plus a private balcony. Select rooms feature a heart-shaped hot tub or whirlpool tub, as noted in recent stays. All rooms offer oceanfront or inlet views with floor-to-ceiling windows.

The Schooner Inn sits at the southern end of the Virginia Beach Boardwalk, directly on the beach. Rudee Inlet and Grommet Island Park are steps away, offering a playground for children and a quieter beach area. The Boardwalk's shops and restaurants, including Waterman's Surfside Grille, are within a 30-minute walk.

Grommet Island Park, a fully accessible playground, is located directly across from the hotel. The outdoor pool and direct beach access provide safe swimming options for children. Laundry facilities on-site help families manage sand and wet clothes during longer stays.

Guests can watch surfers and dolphins from their balcony, especially near Rudee Inlet. The hotel's location allows easy access to fishing boats, dolphin tours, and parasailing through nearby Rudee Tours. Seasonal events like surfing competitions and the Halloween parade are held right on the beach in front of the hotel.
