Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The location was beautiful, the short path to the beach was beautiful! Never used the pool , but my family did! The property was older than it looked in pictures!!!! Needs much redoing and maintenance ! The price was definitely about what everyone else charges! Unit was not cleaned before we got there floors were very dirty! I will definitely look elsewhere on my next visit!

Condo was nicely furnished and bed was comfortable.The bathroom could use some attention on the floor and around the bathtub.

We have stayed at The Beach many times and will return. The unit was clean and well stocked. I do like that there is no daily housekeeping now, we did not run out of anything in our week stay. The walkways and stairs however were very dirty, the step treads were black. The north stairwell had a sort of dirty odor too. Looked like the facility just needed a little TLC on the exterior. Amazing stay though and will be back again. Also, will refer others to The Beach.

Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Steps to beach only thing going for unit, but not even that makes it worth stay. NOT as advertised. Pictures prove it, happy to send. Owner should be ashamed, held accountable. Difficult to find assistance based on lack of Resort by RVA staff on site, office often locked during business hours. When located, response wholly inadequate. At check in, not provided copy of rental agreement. Before entry, told unit needed work, Upon entry, found peeling unevenly colored paint, wall damage, rusted bathtub and fixtures, damaged crumbling door and window casings, broken shade and holes where curtain may have been, different furniture with rickety and missing pieces, burned out interior and exterior lights, bedroom hot, smelly gooey mold in kitchen drain that didn't drain unless disposal on and caused living area to smell, etc. Inadequate kitchen with dirty and/or rusty items, 2 spoons total, etc., couldn't use as planned. Questionably clean linens, had to change, no fitted sheet. No pillows to use sofa bed. Above all else, absolutely filthy, sticky surfaces and even candy wrapper next to bed. Asked staff if cleaners working in complex at check in could at least clean floor. Told yes, never happened. Later told had to physically be in unit for this. Ridiculous for regular unit cleaning and maintenance. Asked for exterior light replacement to see entry door lock and use balcony. Vague response, never happened. Told no pillows for sofa bed despite new pillows in office. Smoker outside below extremely unpleasant, not family friendly community oriented, could smell in unit. Moreover, unit priced higher than other much nicer units in complex. No one in office at check out, but saw Resort by RVA rep getting into truck. Listed some complaints, but checked out with him fast to make flight. Would have reviewed and provided list and pictures sooner, but shortly after stay father twice admitted to hospital then discharged to my care.
