We all dream of a vacation home we can jet off to whenever we need a break from daily life. It’s also a great piece of real estate investment to make some extra cash through renting it out.
Why not choose one in Virginia?
You can buy a property in a beautiful area with outdoor activities or choose a place that has a city feel. Next time you’re considering apartments for rent in Virginia Beach or looking at property in Arlington, keep an eye out for the perfect home away from home in one of these cities.
Virginia Beach
This vibrant coastal city is filled with tourists looking to hit up the beach and boardwalk during the summer season.
The town has a robust arts and entertainment scene and a good variety of restaurants and nightlife.
There are plenty of family-friendly attractions as well, and many special events throughout the summer.
Lake Anna
According to Vacasa, this spot is the best place to invest in a vacation home.
Lake Anna is the state’s fourth largest lake with over 200 miles of stunning shoreline. There’s a fishing pond accessible to the disabled; 15 miles of trails that accommodates hiking, biking, and horseback riding; and gold panning programs and tours of the Goodwin Gold Mine.
It’s been projected that property owners can make upwards of $80,000 a year renting out a space here.

It’s also home to the last remaining rail barge in the nation.
Those who visit Cape Charles love to experience the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel, Kiptopeke State Park, and Eastern Shore National Wildlife Refuge.
