While we were staying in Virginia Beach we stayed at the Comfort Inn & Suites Oceanfront hotel.  This hotel is located 2015 Atlantic Ave., Virginia Beach. All of the rooms have an ocean front view.  If you are staying at the Comfort Inn and Suites during off peak months or during the summer this hotel and location has something for everyone in your family. Because this is an oceanfront hotel you are steps away from the beach and boardwalk.

Arrival

I have to say Virginia Beach has the most pleasant hospitality staff around.  No matter where we went everyone was so nice and courteous.  This started the second we arrived at Comfort Inn and Suites Oceanfront hotel.  We were greeted by friendly staff, they gave us great suggestions on where to get a bite to eat after our long car ride.  Our check in was very quick and no hassles.


The Room




We had a room on the 6th floor, very easy to get to from the parking garage and the lobby elevators.  I loved the the room because it had two separate bedrooms.  This is perfect for families because everyone doesn't have to go to bed at 8:00 when the kids go to bed.  I also like the small refrigerator, sink and microwave that are in the room.  Perfect to make a small snack when coming back from a day at the beach.

The bathroom was roomy and had a plenty of counter space for everyone's essentials.  My kids loved the dual shower heads in the shower.


The view from our room was absolutely gorgeous. I loved watching the sunrise each morning, it was so peaceful.  The room also had a small balcony so you can have a front row seat to watch the beach and ocean.

Complimentary Hot Breakfast

A great way to save money on a family vacation is to find a hotel that offers a complimentary breakfast for their guest.  My family and I loved that the breakfast had many choices.  Waffles, eggs, cereal fresh fruit, muffins, danish and much more.  This was a great way for us to start our day off.  The dinning area faces the ocean and boardwalk so you have a gorgeous view while eating your breakfast.

Indoor Pool



The hotel has an indoor heated pool for guests to use.  This also faces the ocean so you can still see the beach on rainy days.

Summers ending and we wanted to provide an insiders view of some of our favorite places to take kids in Cape May NJ.

The video below highlights the Cape May Lighthouse and Sunset Beach. The lighthouse is an excellent place to take your family. The lighthouse is still a working navigational aid to ships marking the beginning of the Delaware Bay. Admission is $7.00 for adults and $3.00 for kids. The Lighthouse is on the grounds of Cape May Point State Park. This is a beautiful, natural and undisturbed stretch of beach that is free to visitors. However the beach is not watched by lifeguards in all locations.

The video also includes Cape May’s Sunset Beach . This stretch of beach on the Delaware Bay side boasts the best sunsets on the East Coast. I have seen them and it is true. Visit at sunset and you can see the flag ceremony. Visit during the day and take a swim in the bay or play miniature golf at one of the best courses in Cape May. Also you can visit Sunset Grill, a snack stand that offers burgers, fries and other kid’s favorites.



Best Place to Stay Summer or Winter
I haven’t stayed here personally but the Grand Hotel in Cape May has the recipe for fun, an indoor pool. This hotel is footsteps from the beach and the promenade and a short walk from the center of town.

Best Place to Eat With Kids
Cabanas Beach Bar and Grill has never disappointed us. It has a mixture of pub food and steaks and other entrees. And, kids under 4 Eat Free all the time.

The Rusty Nail is another option that offers a laid back vibe, with steel bands and fire pit surrounded by sand that the kids can play in. If you can get a sitter for the kids, this is a great place to hang out for late night drinks around the fire.
