Location & Surroundings

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.

Family-Friendly Features

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.

Entertainment & Activities

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.

“Located away from the main bustle, this beachfront spot offers a quieter stay in Virginia Beach, as it is located at the end of "hotel row". While not brand new, the upkeep impresses, and the presence of both a kitchenette and dining table makes it easier to manage expenses. For those prioritizing peaceful nights and budget-conscious travel, it's a solid option.”
