I’m so happy that I chose this property to stay at for my time at Va beach! It truly felt like home rather than just a hotel stay. It was waterfront with just a short walk through the parking lot to get to the beach. If you want to stay waterfront and avoid the crowds, this is your place to be! Management was amazing to work with as well.

Nice stay but bring your own cleaning supplies
Beds were very comfortable and being close to the beach was great. Loved the brightness of the decor and Loved NOT being in the middle of all the hustle and bustle. However, bring your own cleaning supplies because it was dirty. Grease on stove handles, food and dust in utensil drawer, urine on toilet seats, hair ball in shower drain, caked up old soap from prior guest(s) stuck on walls of tub/shower, fingerprints and goop on all handles, and I don’t think the floors were even mopped before we checked in at 6:00 pm. The guests above us had the same ceiling fan remote and we figured out we/they were able to turn each others’ lights on in the middle of the night waking each other up, so we were not able to use the ceiling fan at all. The heating element in the dryer must’ve been out as it took 3 to 4 full drying cycles just to dry 1 normal size load of laundry. No shelving or shower hooks in the very small bathroom to place my toiletries on - had to clean out the sink and set them in there to reach them during my shower. Only 1 side table in each bedroom to place anything on at night. I used the floor to charge my electronics and put my water bottle on. Most of these things are minor details that can be fixed that would’ve given it 5 stars in my overall review.

Week stay for 4th of July
Came down from NY on vacation with family. Had a great time but I would overall give this hotel 3 stars. I chose the shore apt specifically because I loved the beautiful turquoise couch. Unfortunately when we got there that couch was not there. The coach that was in the living room was small and uncomfortable. The apt itself was clean and spacious. There are 2 bedrooms and each his it’s own private bathroom. There was a living room and kitchen that was fully furnished as well. However, the shower in my room

Beautiful apartment but lots of loud noises during the night.
Our apartment was just what it was advertised. Lots of space and beautifully decorated. It was clean with the exception of some areas that could use some attention but nothing to major. The beds were comfy and the baths were also very nice. I don't give this place a 5 star because during our last 2 nights the noises coming from the place above us were just too much. You can hear about everything and everyone moving and talking though the ceiling. The morning we left, all of us had only about 3 hours of sleep making our already long 12 hour drive back home feel even longer. We loved Virginia Beach and plan to come back. But unfortunately we will not be booking this place again.

Great stay!
Just finished a stay at Dune Cottages. It was perfect for an extended weekend. Loved the fact that you can walk right out onto the beach from the property. Perfect for morning walks!

Great Experience!
The property was clean and well maintained. We especially enjoyed that beach gear was provided (towels and chairs) and that we could have our dog with us with no extra fees, hassle, etc. The beach was so close, easy to access and there was almost no one else there! We didn't feel comfortable taking our children to any of the nearby parks, but we stuck to the beach for all of our fun and our kids had a great time!

Amazing vacation ♡
We rented 2 units. Check in was simple and easy. The rooms were beautiful, clean, and had everything thing we needed. 4 beach chairs, 4 beach towels, toiletries, and linens. Overall, no big complaints. Our rooms were switched prior to check in, which wasnt ideal as I have little ones and would have preferred both units on ground level to avoid the stairs. But it was an unforeseen issue and the company was courteous about it and let us know well in advance. We had units 3 and 7. The decor was great, and the beds comfortable. We vacation in Willoughby Spit every summer and I think this was our best stay yet! Thank you Tesseract Maegan

So glad I found this gem. Perfect size and everything you need. Even though we didn’t use it, beautiful private beach and great location. Only 20-30 min from Virginia Beach. I highly recommend staying here and I would definitely stay here again.
