The property is known as Dolphin Run Condos. My unit has been upgraded with new stainless steel ceramic top stove, granite top counters, a new king bed in the main bedroom and fresh painting with cheery ocean colors. 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.

We had a fantastic stay in this wonderful place! It was very clean and the location is perfect. We also appreciated the designated covered parking spot during such a hot summer. Communication with the host was superb and we would definitely stay here again if we return to Virginia Beach in the future!

A lovely quiet condo on the beach, well placed and just fantastic for a week away. The host was very communicative and worked with me on check-in. The beach outside the condo was also very open and calm, compared to further north on the boardwalk. Fast internet as well. I definitely will consider booking again if/when I make it back to Virginia Beach. Highly recommended!!

This apartment was ideal for our vacation down at the beach and provided us with a very casual, relaxing stay. The condo is located in an older building; however, the cleanliness, convenience, comfort (great king-sized bed) and the spaciousness of the bedrooms were great perks. Kitchen and bathrooms were smaller but nicely stocked and the bath/shower pressure was good, as was the hot water! The view from the ninth floor was wonderful even on stormy days, and the sunrises were just beautiful. This area of the boardwalk is a lot quieter and more serene which we really appreciated; plus, watching the dolphins frolic was always delightful. Communication with our Host was easy and thorough. (He even reached out to us during stormy weather to make sure that everything was OK.). We would definitely stay here again.

This condo was in a great location, convenient to many restaurants and shops and overlooking the boardwalk and bike path. The beds were comfy, bathroom linens abundant and kitchen well equipped. The indoor pool was appreciated on the one rainy day we experienced. One great surprise was our being able to watch fire works from the balcony! Jessica (the onsite manager) was extremely helpful, especially in helping us get a second parking space.

The place has roaches, like tiny baby roaches, saw a few huge roaches. The microwave doesnt have a turn table. The coffee pots don't work. The bathtub in the guest room doesnt drain properly. The unit had a bad smell in the kitchen. Floors where dirty, walls dirty, and the cabinets dirty. You my dear need a very bad deep cleaning. Your place could be very nice. Overall the location was perfect, the view amazing, the beds are comfortable. Just so you know alot of guest in the building were complaining about dirty rooms and roaches. It is sad because this could be a nice place fixed up. Perfect for a family of 5.

My fiancee, mother, and I stayed at a unit from September 17th until the 23rd. The two bedroom unit is in great shape with a breathtaking view of the ocean from the balcony. The unit is very clean and organized. The furniture is comfortable, with the beds being especially so. I got some of the best sleep, falling asleep to the waves crashing against the shore. The living room is big with a good sized dining table. We didn't see it right away, but it appears the table pulls out and the extension is under the bed in the master bedroom. The bathrooms are a proper size. The bedrooms are huge, and are located at opposite sides of the unit. Each guest gets their privacy. Entering the building and the unit was easy. When entering the unit, make sure to wait for the lock to lock/unlock. There is a delay after entering the code. All the windows open, and they have screens. There is a pool that my mother used. She said it was very nice. The property is quiet. We rarely heard the neighbors. Last, but certainly not the least, Howard is a fantastic host with a great response time with questions I had. He's very helpful and polite. I would rent from him again, if he allows me to. Overall, we had a wonderful time. I didn't want to leave. Thank you, Howard!
