Together with Jamestown and Yorktown it forms what’s know as the Historic Triangle - an area of great historic significance in Virginia 🧱

I’d recommend spending a full day in Colonial Williamsburg so you can explore all of the unique reconstructed buildings and enjoy the atmosphere 👌🏼

If you’re planning a trip to Virginia, you have to check out the Virginia Beach area. It’s known for its sandy beaches, and it’s a great place to come in the summer to relax. It’s also pretty nice in the off season too, when you’ll find it less crowded 🌊

But where should you stay in Virginia Beach? 🤔

I spent a weekend at the beautiful The Inn at Old Beach which is a newly renovated historic boutique B&B just a short walk from the beachfront 🛌

I’d recommend the Princess Anne room which features a queen bed, a private balcony, a very spacious bedroom, and a swoon-worthy bathroom, complete with a tub and walk-in shower. During the week you can pre-order a breakfast hamper to your room, and on weekends you’ll find a free breakfast available in the dining room 🥐

This is one of the best boutique hotels in Virginia, and it’s location is pretty great too! 🇺🇸
