Can anyone tell me a nice place to stay while vacationing at Virginia Beach?|142623

We are planning a family vacation in Virginia Beach in the summer of 2009. There will be 3 adults and 2 children and we are looking for perhaps a summer rental for about a week equipped with full kitchen if possible. I know word of mouth is the best advertisement so I am putting it out there relying on past experiences. I would like to be close to the beach and also affordable of course. Any info will be extremely helpful.

Here_s a little guide to learn choosing and booking good holidays hotels and avoiding bitter surprises with the help of the web. There are several signals which allow to recognise if a Hotel is worth mentioning. Clearness and reachability are always an outstanding business card. A renowned Hotel always has to clearly indicate if services are either offered or included in the price: possible non-standard services such as swimming pool, SPA, Gym, Laundry room, Shuttle, Wireless Internet Access et cetera suggest a close attention towards the customer_s own satisfaction, who becomes a host. As well as the service offered, it would be good to indicate the position and the distance between the hotel and the heritage centres. Further attention should be given to the attractions tied to the region and its traditions, excursions opportunities and especially gastronomic specialities: food is always an asset.
