We were here in April, 2012. Originally I'd booked us into a cabin, thinking we would have more privacy, and they are described as on the beach. We arrived after dark and had a very difficult time finding the cabins, partly because the rather sullen person manning the check-in desk had given us poor directions. When we found the our... More

As newlyweds, post-Gulf War R&R'ers, and Silver Anniversary revelers, we've stayed @Ft. Story for over 27 years and have so many wonderful memories. We don't expect luxury and we are always rewarded with a beautiful beach surrounded by fellow military families just trying to get away from it all for a bit. This trip, however, felt like it may be... More

Stayed from 19-23 August. Apparently the Inn is being torn down, so reservations can't be made past 30 Sept. You could tell that the staff basically didn't care anymore. I was disappointed that the Cabana shop & Beach shack had already closed, so we weren't able to get snacks on the beach or poolside. Also no lifegaurd was on duty,... More

Very relaxing. We stayed at the hotel part. The rooms were nice, had a small kitchenette and a covered balcony. The walk to the beach was a bit long and you can't hear the waves from the hotel. But all in all it was a nice experience and a bit cheaper than staying on the main strip of VA Beach.

We just made it back and had a very good time. We were in the cottages that were closest to the beach. The outside needed painting, but we found the inside to be very clean and plenty of room for our family. We were very close to the boardwalk that takes you to the beach. It was very relaxing to...

We just stayed at cape Henry in the cabins. If you don't mind rustic you'll do ok here. It's not the nicest of places but it will do. The 2 bedroom cabin is cramped to say the least. Ours also leaked something fierce during a storm, roof and walls. The bedrooms have just enough room for a very uncomfortable bed... More

I have stayed in every room aspect of the Cape Henry Inn for the last 20 years (even as a former VA Beach local!) - from the bungalows, cabins, to the inn itself. It's been a family tradition and never disappoints. This past year we brought all of our dogs and had the BEST time! The dog beach is absolutely... More
