Just steps away, immerse yourself in the vibrant pulse of downtown Virginia Beach. Stroll effortlessly to nearby beaches, the bustling boardwalk, and diverse activities—from exhilarating watersports and sportfishing adventures to dolphin-watching tours. Whether chasing waves at the historic surf breaks or indulging in local cuisine at charming cafés and waterfront restaurants, FLOHOM 11 places you in the heart of it all. To ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone, and with respect to the love and intentionality we have poured into making FLOHOM 11 | Rudee Awakening an extraordinary stay, please take a moment to review and follow our rules.
🔹Quiet Hours🔹 To maintain a peaceful environment for all guests and nearby liveaboards, quiet hours are enforced from 10 PM to 7 AM. FLOHOM 11 | Rudee Awakening is equipped with indoor and outdoor noise monitoring sensors to measure decibel levels, but these are not active listening or recording devices.
🔹Occupancy Limit🔹 The maximum number of overnight guests is two, and the total number of people on board at any one time is limited to six, as enforced by the marina. Failure to comply with this rule could jeopardize our ability to operate within the marina.
🔹Parties & Events🔹 Parties and events are prohibited. We welcome small gatherings to celebrate special occasions, such as hosting friends or family for dinner, as long as you respect our quiet hours and adhere to the occupancy limit. Please notify us in advance if you plan to host a gathering so we can inform the marina and ensure that our team is aware of any non-overnight guests accessing the private marina.
🔹No Smoking Policy🔹 Smoking (including cigarettes, e-cigarettes, cigars, and marijuana) is strictly prohibited inside the boat, on the front and back decks, and within 20 feet of the entrance. Smoking is permitted only on the rooftop and docks, provided it’s done at least 20 feet from the entrance. Guests must leave no trace of smoking paraphernalia. Violating this policy may result in a cleaning fee of up to $500 to restore the space to a smoke-free condition.
🔹Decorations🔹 Third-party decoration vendors are not permitted. However, we offer curated decoration packages, and our concierge team can work with you to create custom packages based on your needs. This policy ensures our space is well-maintained, the appropriate materials are used, and excessive cleaning is avoided, preventing disruptions to other guests’ reservations. Decoration packages can be inquired about before booking or reviewed in your personalized guest app after booking.

🔹Rooftop Safety🔹 Please refrain from leaning or standing on the rooftop railings. While the rooftop offers stunning views and a relaxing atmosphere, exercising caution is essential to prevent accidents or falls.
