Rockin in Virginia Beach

A September 2004 trip to Virginia Beach by apalyok

We traveled to participate in the Rock N Roll 1/2 Marathon in conjunction with the music festival. Beautiful city, great residents. The beaches are wide and clean and a nice boardwalk. The roads are very well-marked and we had a fantastic vacation.

Best Things Nearby:
Watermans restaurant across the street. Beach too.

Best Things About the Resort:
Very quiet and parking garage. One bedroom was very roomy.

Resort Experience:
Resort is somewhat old but well kept up. There is a pool but it is inside. This is nice is it is raining and you have kids, but we preferred to be outside. It is sort of motel-like, but has a nice parking garage. Just be careful where you park because of the pigeons roosting. We had tons of towels and everything we needed.

Right on the boardwalk and if you are there for the Music Festival it is right in front of the 5th street stage. If you can get an outside table you can sit right there and hear the bands. Nice bar area on the outside and full service bar inside. All servers were courteous and even thought they were extremely busy the service was very good. Are food also came out quick and was cooked to perfection. I highly recommend the fish taco appetizer. Also their house cabernet is Hess and it is very smooth. We ate here twice over a four-day weekend and both times they exceeded expectations.
