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.
