The Spotlight on Cerca Del Mar Motel

Chill Beach Vibes Just Steps from the Virginia Beach Boardwalk


Cerca Del Mar Motel offers a no-frills, beach-town vibe perfect for travelers who want to keep it simple and stay close to the action. Located just a 5-minute walk from the beach and boardwalk, this laid-back motel puts you at the center of everything Virginia Beach has to offer, including live music, nightlife, and oceanfront fun. With kitchenettes in every room, a seasonal outdoor pool, and free Wi-Fi, it’s a practical and budget-friendly spot to crash after a show.

Why Concert-goers love it

Its unbeatable location means you’re minutes from live music venues and the buzzing Virginia Beach boardwalk scene. You can walk back from a concert without worrying about rideshares or parking. The atmosphere is quiet enough to unwind, and the free parking is a huge bonus for road-trippers. While there’s no late-night front desk, check-in starts at 4 PM, giving you plenty of time to settle in pre-show.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for a low-cost beach-and-music weekend
  • Solo travelers catching a bucket-list gig
  • Couples wanting a beachy, concert-filled escape
  • Fans who need a quiet, comfy place to recharge post-show
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who want location without the price tag

Food and Drink Options

Rooms come with kitchenettes or full kitchens, so you can whip something up late at night. While there’s no on-site restaurant, the motel is within walking distance to casual eateries and pizza joints that stay open late. Coffee and breakfast spots are also just a stroll away, perfect after a late night out.

Nightlife Options

You're just a few blocks from the boardwalk, where you'll find bars, clubs, and beachside lounges offering live music and cold drinks. Want something more relaxed? There are plenty of chill spots with local craft brews and ocean views.

What People Say

Guests appreciate the great value for the location, especially being so close to the beach and entertainment. Reviews highlight the friendly staff, clean rooms, and the convenience of having a kitchenette. Travelers also love the free parking—a rare perk this close to the action.

Areas for Improvement

It’s a no-frills motel, so don’t expect luxury touches. Some rooms could use a little updating, and the seasonal pool isn't open year-round. Still, for the price and location, it’s hard to beat.

The Bottom Line

If you're looking for an affordable, walkable stay near Virginia Beach's music and nightlife scene, Cerca Del Mar Motel checks all the right boxes.

Disappointing - 2.0 out of 5

I am still swelled up...

Liked: It had a pool
Disliked: When I got there the room smelled like mold The first night the fire alarm got pulled, which was not the property fault but the second night I was there. I got eat up by a spider. I went downstairs and talk to the mrg and they basically told me there was nothing they could do

Disappointing

Liked: The location was the only thing to like sadly...
Disliked: The moldy couch( whole underside of the pull out photo is after I cleaned with bleach I was just wanting the smell/ taste of mold gone and was not thinking of taking one before) and cockroaches were the worst part! I cleaned the underside as it was 9 on a Friday and we have 3 kids so we toughed it out and made the best of the situation... I was told maintenance would come that next morning... And of course nothing for the 2 days we stayed. My husband had to keep fixing the toilet float also. Just a total disappointment and the staff did not seem to care one bit nor the owner for that matter.... What a waste that place has so much potential

It was so disgusting that...

Liked: Nothing!! It was super dirty!
Disliked: We left the place!! Very dirty and it smelled so bad! Layers of dust! Mattresses and sheets were bloody! There were cockroaches! The room was supposed to be ready for 6 people but there were sheets for 5 and when we asked for it, they said they probably don’t have any!

Bad

Disliked: My niece had woke up at 1am freaking out because there's bed bugs on her and bit her arm. She's having a reaction and the venue has still not processed my refund . I had to look around for a hotel at 1am and didn't find another place until 330. With my 8 year old niece tired, freaking out from her bites. This was absolutely horrible

Didn’t even stay

Liked: Nothing , I didn’t stay , I looked at the room after registration and went down to the office and ask for a refund , the guy on shift said he didn’t know how to refund on a card and I’d have to wait till morning when the office manager came in , I was gonna wait but there where no where to stay the night so I just drove back home 8 hours away , and I was charged for the room anyway even though I didn’t stay
Disliked: The whole experience, from above , the parking was minimal and I ended up having to park out at the back of the hotel in a not to well lite area , and walk alone to the hotel , I didn’t have a good feeling about the parking and I didn’t have a good feeling at all about the room ,
