We are glad you are here!

Imagine looking out from your private balcony. You gaze down upon the beautiful boardwalk. The wide beach. The glistening Atlantic Ocean. You take a moment and breathe in the salty air, the tropical scent of coconut suntan lotion. The warm breeze brings you the sound of the rhythmic waves and the laughter of families playing in the surf. Right on the beach, in the heart of Virginia Beach's resort area, The Oceanfront Inn offers you a wonderful place to relax and enjoy all Virginia Beach has to offer, from dancing at free concerts and eating fresh seafood to watching F-18s do aerial combat maneuvers and biking through First Landing State Park.

We're your hometown family hotel

This is truly a family hotel. Andy Vakos and his family have been welcoming guests to The Oceanfront Inn for years. The Vakos family's history in America started when Andy's grandfather arrived from Greece. He sold bananas in New York and later moved to Norfolk, Virginia where he went into the restaurant business, eventually buying restaurants and bowling alleys in the '40s and '50s. He had eleven children. Two of the boys, Andy's father and uncle, acquired the 29th Street, Virginia Beach property in the 1960s. At the time, it had been a popular nightclub called "The Top Hat," hosting Chubby Checker and Fats Domino in their heyday. In the early '70s, it became a restaurant and finally, in the construction boom of the '80s, The Oceanfront Inn was born. Andy has been the General Manager since 1990.

Where to start? With so many attractions, you can do as much-or as little-as you want. Let's see, do you go fishing off the pier, golfing at some of the finest greens on the East Coast, dancing at the bandstand just a couple blocks away, or shopping at some fabulous stores, or perhaps you want to simply float in the water, maybe sit on the beach and start the day with a breathtaking sunrise? Oh, so many choices. Whatever you want to do, we can point you in the right direction. Ask our friendly staff about our discounted attraction tickets currently available.
