The verdict

Guests frequently highlight the friendly staff, comfortable beds, and the convenience of in-room half fridges.

61- “Since my last staycation with Wyndham was Dec 2019, I can't really speak on more recent negative reviews. One thing I really like is being able to watch surfers take the water from my balcony/room view. When I stare off into space that's my happy place.” 9

Value
62- “As an aside, you MUST visit Orion's Roof restaurant. Get a table by the windows and you will be able to overlook the whole oceanfront area. The prices aren't terrible, the food is great, and the service is impeccable.” 14
- “For the price, it's amazing! I would stay here again although we don't think we will be back to Virginia, we are trying different places every year!!” 13
