Top Shifting Sands Beach Hotel Reviews

Schooner Inn

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was friendly and helpful. There was one small problem with water running in the bathroom that was corrected as soon as I notified the front desk. We ave been staying here for years and have always been very satisfied."

Surfbreak Virginia Beach Oceanfront, an Ascend Collection Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great location,polite service, restaurant on site with great prices and food specials .🤗"

Reunion Paradise! Spacious Luxury Home and Pool House

8/10 Good

"overall, the house was nice and spacious for the amount of people that we had. But if I was able to rate the house with fraction, it would be more of a 3.5 /5 because it was challenging getting into the house because none of the door pads were working. There was only one that worked and it was in the back of the house. The oven was broken so cooking for the amount of people that we had in the house was challenging. the host said they live in the house when it’s not occupied by guests so there are a lot of locked cabinets and closets."

10/10 Excellent

"House had everything we needed! Seasonings, towels, shampoo, first aid, etc!"

A Crown Jewel | Oceanfront | Private Pool, Indoor Pool, Hot Tub

10/10 Excellent

"The only real problem was that the WiFi kept dropping. The left side of the house didn’t keep internet connection. Had to go to the garage to get heat. Also the decks all needed to be cleaned/power washed from the bugs. Couldn’t use the balconies off the bedrooms. But we would stay here again."
