Dolphin Run Condos
Everything was great! Howard was great with everything we needed. He even went as far as to help us with parking in the event our vehicle didn't fit in the parking deck. We didn't need it fortunately but he went the extra mile to communicate with us. I wish the property would've had an outdoor pool though. Would definitely go back.

Perfect, Perfect, Perfect!
Very clean and had everything you would need plus some! View of the Atlantic was exactly what you're looking for. Elevator was fast and the building was not too busy. Condos are quiet, we had neighbors with children but did not hear them even once. Air conditioning worked excellent without and moisture. The beds were comfortable, slept like a baby. The waves were not too big or too small. One of the best vacations in a very long time. The host was very available and responsive to any questions. A highly recommend and would for sure book the exact same condo again.

Our stay was wonderful! Check in process and codes all worked and was super easy. Communication with Howard’s was quick and efficient and helpful whenever I did have a question. The ocean was beautiful, saw lots of dolphins. Location is awesome and within walking distance of all the fun shops and cool restaurants. The condo building itself is older but it was clean and stocked nicely and all the furniture was comfortable. We really had no complaints and I would definitely come back to this same unit again!

Wonderful beach vacation
What a stunning building! It offers a serene atmosphere, convenient onsite parking, and direct access to the beautiful beachfront. With fantastic restaurants and charming shops just a leisurely stroll away, and its close proximity to the Navy base, this location couldn’t be more perfect. We absolutely loved our stay and can’t wait to return!

First: VRBO. My cc was charged on 12/28.2024. CC was not supposed to be charged immediately as I had till Jan. 6 to change/cancel. On Ja. 3 I changed my reservation from 18 days to 14 days but I was denied a credit. I am asking for this credit.Condo: we had aunts in the kitchen all the time coming from ceiling, faucet in bath tub second bedroom not working properly, water not hot; carpet in second bedroom is filthy. Building: Could not use pool, dirty water with algae. Due to our complaint, pool was cleaned but no follow-up. Two days later was the same. Lot of stain in pool plaster.

Great Unit.
This was a great unit. It had everything that we needed for a relaxing vacation. We got a little rain on Saturday afternoon, but it didn't ruin anything because of the balcony that look over the boardwalk and the beach. We enjoyed drinks and watched the surfers until the rain stopped. In front of the unit was plenty of shopping and places to eat. It was comforting to know that security was always available. Howard was a great host and was always available for any questions we had. We plan on coming back to Virigina and hope this unit will be available when we return.

First time stay, would book again!
Our stay Aug 4 -9 was very enjoyable! This was our first time at VB, and the location was great, the beach was not crowded, and the shopping was easily accessible by walking. Our unit was clean and very functional for 4 adults and 2 teens. The pool was clean, check in was easy, and parking garage was accessible with our SUV. Our host communicated well and in a timely manner. The balconies were being worked on but our view was not obstructed and they started working well after we went to the beach most days. We were able to use the space every evening. Highly recommend this host and location for a relaxing stay at the beach!

Mediocre stay with multiple issues
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.
