A Place at the Beach
It was a great stay all in all. The room was just what we needed! The indoor hot tub was not working when we were there which was a bummer and the walk to the beach was a bit longer than expected but still a great place to stay, especially with children.

The Ocean Key Virginia Beach Resort
Room setup was great, ocean view was amazing. On site restaurant had good food and ice cream. Pots, pans, and plates provided. Close to Rudey Inlet and several other sites. Balcony door seal let wind through (not a big deal), wall had a gash in it, "living room vent" had mold, staff wasn't helpful ...
