Please note there will be some construction improvements for the next two months July and August 2024 between the hours of 8AM and 5 PM. on week days only. Hopefully, this will not interfere with the peaceful enjoyment of the condo and the beach. Check the reviews. Most guests have said the noise is not disruptive.
COVID19 PRECAUTIONS AND CLEANING: For safety of guests, all bed linens have been replaced with light weight hotel type and every piece of bed linen is washed between guests.

You can sit on the balcony and watch the ocean waves and the boats going out and returning from the marina VIA Rudee's Inlet. At times you may see the dolphins running! For those who like fishing, you can fish right off the pier in Rudee's Inlet or go across the street and arrange a deep sea fishing expedition. While most will want to enjoy the beach, the property has an indoor pool that is kept at 84 degs. year round. The lobby is large and with an expansive view of the beach. Please view all the pictures. See #'s 35 and 36 of the Kiddie Park out front on the beach.

Check-in was fine. We stayed from a Saturday to a Wednesday. Howard provided garage and condo codes in advance, and the Dolphin Run staff confirmed everything was good to go. Initially, the condo seemed fine, but upon entering we immediately noticed the view was obstructed with construction ropes.
Things went downhill from there. The bedsheets were dirty with hair and crumbs. Despite notifying Howard and sending pictures, we didn't receive a response for TWO days, and the issue was never resolved. The floors were also dirty with food remnants found in multiple rooms.
The WiFi was unreliable, which is definitely not ideal for remote work or streaming a conference call. The network is apparently shared with all of Dolphin Run and has known capacity issues.
On our second day, the power went out briefly, leaving only one elevator operational. The view and beach access were also obstructed by a large black tube, part of some dredging project? Morning surf classes also limited ocean access. Construction on the balconies resumed Monday and Tuesday, with loud sawing at 8am disrupting our mornings. The sound was very unpleasant.
Overall, the stay was not great. The condo felt run-down, which seems typical for older beachfront properties. The indoor pool was decent, and there were at least some nearby restaurants and shops. Howard was initially responsive but less so after issues arose. I can't recommend this place or Dolphin Run. We won't be returning.

Really liked the layout of the condo. Nice kitchen and family space. Unfortunately, there was work being done on the balcony’s on the building so we didn’t get to spend much time outside. Otherwise, we had a nice stay.

We truly enjoy our stay in Virginia Beach and Dolphin Run did not disappoint!! Our unit was clean and had everything we needed and was conveniently located near everything! We will be back!

Room was clean and well equipped. Location is very close walking distance to good restaurants which is a big plus. Facilities are somewhat dated but OK. We arrived at the end of a festival which had access to the boardwalk and beach closed off in front of building which was disappointing. It opened up on our last day. The property manager was very responsive and great to work with. We will probably go back again but will be careful not to book around any festivals.

I reserved this condo for the oceanfront balcony and quiet location, particularly for my elderly mother who has mobility issues and planned to enjoy the balcony all day, every day. Due to construction, there were ropes from the scaffolding obstructing our view to the ocean. (This was a minor inconvenience; however, guests planning to stay at the condo in the coming weeks should know that the balcony will soon be completely off limits.) What was the most disappointing was the noise. Not only could we not enjoy the balcony between 8am and 5pm, we couldn’t even stay in the condo. The drilling on the balconies was amplified inside. My mother and I were standing side by side and couldn’t hear one another. It was constant and even worse in the bathroom (to the degree that we couldn’t shower until the construction ended for the day).
The listing for this property states construction was being done in 2023. According to the front desk, this construction was planned and property owners were informed. I’m in disbelief that I wasn’t notified prior to my trip. Perhaps for some guests, not having use of the condo or balcony during the day isn’t an issue, but for my mother, it completely ruined her vacation. Had I known this, I would have saved quite a bit of money and rented a condo off oceanfront and without a balcony.
I’m emailing the host with recordings of the noise and requesting a partial refund. Hoping they will do the right thing in this case. So disappointing.

We enjoyed our first visit to VA beach. The location of this condo was IDEAL. Literally steps from the beach and the quiet end of the boardwalk but SO close and within walking distance to everything. Communication with Howard was excellent.

It was our first trip to Virginia Beach, and everything was wonderful. The unit was clean and close to all the activities in the area. It had a great view. The host was easy to reach before and during the trip. We can't wait to rebook on our next trip into town.

The over all property was pretty great. They were in the middle of some cosmetic repairs but it wasn’t disruptive. The owner was very helpful in making sure we got to the right place with all the instructions necessary. My one grip was the check in process, the lady that checked us in was a little on the rude side when we tried to check in earlier than 4pm. The one lady I was in contact with said it would be fine to check in early while the lady that actually checked us in said it would be $75 early check in. Luckily it was waived because we were told it would be ok to come early. I’m not sure why anyone needs to wait to check in so late. But I feel like that is a bit ridiculous and $75 to check in early is also ridiculous. Also it’s $50 per day to park an addition car in their over flow lot which was not relayed to us prior to leaving for our getaway. All in all though it was a lovely stay.

This is 2nd time staying in complex, but 1st time in this unit. The indoor pool and the wonderful playground on the beach nearby was great for our 4 year old grandson. Wee walked to places to eat and shop a block away sold milk and other items that were convenient, so never had to drive anywhere. It rained off and on and was cloudy the whole time, but we still enjoyed our stay.
4.8
The unit is perfect for 2 sets of parents and 2 toddlers…each have their own side of the condo. Ocean view (sunrises and dolphins) was spectacular.

Nice condo in a nice location. Enjoyed sitting on the balcony looking over the beach. Within walking to many shops and restaurants. Watched dolphins for a whole afternoon. Kids enjoyed the pool on cloudy days. Good communication with the owner.

The condo was awesome, it was as it was listed. Howard and Jessica were great at reacting to our request. Checking in was a breeze and we had a great vacation. I highly recommend renting from Howard, he cares and that makes the difference. Thank you!!

Howard and check in assistant Diana were very nice and helpful. Nice property with beautiful and peaceful oceanfront view. We also always had a friendly face greeting us in the lobby. Would definitely stay there again!
4.8
Great location to watch the surfers, construction was going on the building which I feel should have been more transparent. Also the pool was a bit dated and was not open as shown in pictures. The owner of the property was great and super helpful
4.8
I've never stayed at the south end of the beach. It's so much quieter than the middle to upper area of the beach while still allowing for great walkability. The direct beach access is great.
4.8
Immaculate condo within walking distance to great restaurants. Check in was super easy and communication with owner and property manager was great. Bonus - had front row seats on balcony to country music festival! Would definitely stay again!
4.8
This was on the quiet side of the beach with great views, clean and comfortable condo, and an easy check in and out process. The only negative thing I can say is no fault of all with the owner but with the building. The building has a indoor pool but it is very run down with an extremely unfortunate dirty glass ceiling and there is no outside pool. This was no problem for us because we played on the beach an had nice weather but if we couldn’t be outside for some reason I would be upset.
4.8
This property was really comfortable and very spacious for my family. The kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed. The master bedroom was really big with its own bathroom. The view from the balcony of the ocean was breathtaking, even though the weather was bad that weekend but we still made it our best. I would recommend this place to anyone looking to enjoy the beach with a beautiful view and a great location. We were right at the end of the boardwalk so that's a great way to get a full walk in along the beach.

Location was great and owner was amazing to work with. Unit was clean and well stocked.

This is my second time staying at this unit. It is directly oceanfront with a view of the boat traffic through the inlet. The condo is well-supplied with everything you might need. I also like that the building has 2 elevators.

What a great location. We loved watching the boats, surfers and dolphins from the balcony, and the most amazing sunrises I’ve ever seen. Can’t wait to come back.

We enjoyed our stay at the condo as it was clean, comfortable and easy to get to. The pool was a treat as it was very warm compared to chilly temps outdoors.

Comfortable, secure, friendly front desk. Parking accommodations a plus

We recently stayed at this property over the Thanksgiving holiday. It suited all of our needs as a family of four (2 adults and two young children). The rooms were spacious and beds were comfortable. We went out for all of our meals so didn't use the kitchen. Great views of the beach from all rooms.
4.8
Everything was perfect
4.8
Located at the inlet at the end of the Pier this place is in a great location for families. Rather you want to hang in the apartment and just enjoy the sights and sounds from the balcony (watch the jets and helicopters from the near buy naval station or local surf competition) or head out to tons of restaurants in walking distance, it's all here!
4.8
This condo is waterfront with comfortable furnishings and all the extras to make your stay special. The owner and housekeeper were wonderful to work with and they went out of their way to be helpful. The indoor pool was a huge plus for a cool and breezy day. Love this area of Va Beach! So many fun activities and delicious restaurants near by.
4.8
We enjoyed our stay and loved the location right on the beach. Easy walking distance to several good restaurants including Chix on the Beach and Rockafeller's. The kitchen is updated and very nice. Other parts are a bit dated, but everything was clean and functional. Laundry is down the hall but really didn't inconvenienc us. Comfortably furnished with plenty of extra blankets. Perfect location on the boardwalk with great ocean views!

Good location, many restaurants within walking distance, great boardwalk, owner demonstrated very prompt communication, highly recommended

It was a nice property, I just wish I knew that they were having all the surfing stuff going on and the nightly music. Alittle to busy in that area for us. But the condo was very nice. And I wish they would of accommodated us better for the check in. Are flight came in early and I tried to get in at 3pm a hour before but they couldn’t. We got the keys exactly the 4pm check in.
