Summer is the season for swimming. Whether you prefer a natural swimming hole or your local pool, there are, thankfully, plenty of ways to cool off. But one of the most unique I've seen comes included with this Airbnb stay: a private, personal lazy river. That's right—when you book this nine-bedroom Virginia Beach vacation rental , you can look forward to your own miniature waterpark. I've always loved visiting Virginia Beach . Even at its busiest season, in the middle of summer, being amidst the crashing waves, the vibrant mile-long boardwalk, and the bustling restaurants is an experience hard to replicate. There are plenty of beachfront hotels to choose from, but I'm always partial to a vacation rental, which gives you the feeling of a home-away-from-home. And in the case of Down By The Sea , you'll get not only tons of room for your entire crew, but your very own mini waterpark, complete with a lazy river, swimming pool, lounge chairs, and a covered hot tub. Down By The Sea has enough room to accommodate 16 guests. There are three floors of living space, which include nine bedrooms, six-and-a-half baths, and 14 beds. This makes it an ideal space for a family reunion or a friends' getaway. The house has plenty of room for communal gatherings, but also the privacy of individual rooms when you're looking to recharge. The fully-stocked kitchen is great for family-style meals, and it's easy to imagine a game night in the central living room. But you probably won't book this home for its indoor space; it's the outside features that really set it apart from the rest. A covered balcony with plenty of space to lounge overlooks the home's best feature: a miniature waterpark. Whether you're taking a dip in the pool or taking a slow spin around the lazy river, you'll feel like you're fully in vacation mode. There's even a hot tub for a relaxing soak after a day spent swimming at the beach or the pool. And speaking of the beach, you're just a five-minute walk from the Virginia Beach Oceanfront. Travelers appreciate the ease of checking in and checking out of this home. The space is equipped with all the amenities you'll need. One thing to note before booking your stay: the number of beds described on the listing is accurate, but they are sometimes rearranged and reconfigured based on who's staying at the home. Also, the temperature of the water is chilly! This isn't a heated pool, but in the heart of summer, you likely won't mind much.
