Northeast Virginia Beach Vacations from $618

If I were to rate this property based solely on location, I would give it five stars since it sits directly on the beach. Most rooms have balconies and we enjoyed several amazing sunrises, and time on the beach. Two of the three front desk personnel could have been friendlier. The place itself needs maintenance and updating. They do have a small restaurant which is convenient. The service and food were average. They offer nightly entertainment at a small venue that is attached and looks relatively new. The location is also great. It is near several attractions and good restaurants. With some TLC this place can easily be a five star property.

Very nice comfortable place to stay. Staff is very friendly and helpful.

We had a really nice stay at the John Yancey Inn overall! The property and our room were very clean—honestly, probably one of the cleanest places we’ve stayed. The breakfast was also great and had a good variety. We really appreciated having a mini fridge and microwave in the room, and the bathroom was HUGE, especially the shower! There were a few things that kept the stay from feeling like a luxury hotel experience, though. The bed was extremely firm and uncomfortable for us, and we both woke up with back pain during our stay. The pillows also weren’t very comfortable. These things are obviously subjective, but after a long day at the beach, having a comfortable bed makes a big difference. We also noticed that the left side of the TV remote wasn’t working, including the power button and the “1” button, which was a little inconvenient. The biggest downside for us was the beach access. Unlike the other hotels/inns around us, there wasn’t a walkway or path from the property to the beach. You had to walk up and down the dunes, which was surprisingly difficult and inconvenient, especially when carrying beach chairs and other things. We were actually the only property we noticed without a dedicated path to the beach. Overall, we really appreciated how clean the property was, the great breakfast, the huge bathroom/shower, and the convenience of having a fridge and microwave. With a more comfortable bed and pillows and easier beach access, this would have been a much better expe

Cute place! Excellent beach access!
