Luxury Beachfront 5 Bedroom, 3.5 Bath home with 200 ft. of PRIVATE BEACH!

Luxury Beachfront Living is what you can expect from the moment you enter The SandCastle, a 5 Bedroom, 3.5 Bath, 4,900 sq. ft. Beachfront Home! The seamless open flow between the great room, dining area, kitchen, and family room provides the perfect interactive atmosphere for your family to be together or enjoy your own quiet space. The dramatic floor-to-ceiling wall of windows brings the outdoors in. Nestled amongst mature pines, in a very secluded setting, The SandCastle is Nature’s Paradise. If you’re looking to unwind and rejuvenate, this tranquil beachfront getaway, with 200 feet of private soft sand beach, could be just the place for you. The home is located in a peaceful, low-density area with lots of open space teeming with birds and wildlife. We enjoy some of the best bird-watching on the Eastern Seaboard so if you forget your binoculars don’t worry, we have a pair ready for you. Eagles, osprey, blue herons, pelicans, and seagulls fishing in the wide-open waters or feeding on the sandflats are just some of the birds you may encounter each day. From time to time, you will even spot schools of dolphin swimming just offshore. Our home is located in a “Dark Skies” area so evening moon and nightly stargazing are incredible. As are the spectacular nightly sunsets.

The large back deck overlooking the Chesapeake Bay is the perfect area for alfresco dining, lingering over a morning cup of coffee, or relaxing with an evening cocktail. For quiet, private time there is a cozy library with a gas fireplace, a peaceful upstairs sitting area, or lower level patio seating to take advantage of golden sunshine, blue skies, and pristine, sparkling water views.

During the summer, rental companies are available to deliver paddleboards, kayaks, and canoes so that you can enjoy your favorite watersports. Comfortable mattresses, soft, high-end sheets, and plush towels are provided. We’ve tried to think of everything we would want to have in a dream vacation getaway and have done our best to provide it for you.

When you do want to visit restaurants, shopping, and galleries they are just a short drive away. The 2 largest historic towns on the Shore, Cape Charles & Onancock are about an equal distance away, about 20 – 30 minutes. Metropolitan areas like Virginia Beach and Norfolk make great day trips and are located about an hour away.

At The SandCastle you can enjoy the very best in a luxurious beachfront getaway in every season!

Another great vacation
This is the third year we've stayed at this house and we still love it. The gentle bay is perfect for young kids and the house is great. We loved the new table that seats 10. The realtors are not response on VRBO but are very helpful if you call the Blue Heron office. Hoping this house will be available to book in 2023.

2023 Family Vacation
The rental home was absolutely beautiful! There was plenty of room for everyone and the amenities were GREAT! There were only a few things that were a disappointment. One was a tick we found upon our arrival on one of the beds. During our stay four family members ended up getting bit by ticks.🙁 The other disappointment was the seaweed bed covering a large oyster shell bed. Two family members cut their feet on the oyster shells. Swim shoes are a definite MUST!! Lastly, the beach area was much smaller than it appeared in the photos. The natural lowtide sandbar areas, however, were fantastic for the parents and the children to spend hours of sun and fun! All in all, our family had a wonderful vacation. I highly recommend this rental home.

Beautiful location
Our family enjoyed our stay at The Sandcastle. We were able to relax and take advantage of the beautiful views, sunsets and hanging out in our own space. The only surprise was that our neighbors, who couldn't have been nicer were closer to us than we expected. It is hard to see the proximity of other homes on the site, but overall, we had a wonderful time.

A perfect place to chill out
All of us (three generations) had a very enjoyable time together. We loved being on the Chesapeake Bay- brought kayaks, rented paddle boards. The sunsets are amazing.

Already booked it again
We enjoyed a wonderful week! Quiet and peaceful. Woodpecker nests in the yard. Heron, egret, osprey, eagles…always around. We fished, we crabbed, we enjoyed the breeze, we ate - and ate some more. Looking forward to coming back next year.

wonderful relaxing time
The location is terrific. Quiet and tucked away, with beautiful view of the Bay, birds, sun, ships, and stars. The house is spacious and clean. That the master bedroom is on main level was useful to us. Note, BR2 has tub but no shower, so the hallway bath is the only shower on level 2. The kitchen is well stocked with kitchenware. We experience a couple of issues (1) the oven was unusable, the property manager came over took a look and provided a replacement electric toaster oven (large) which was useful for warming stuff but not adequate as a real oven. (2) The gas grill on the deck did not ignite. (3) Network bandwidth is very low, and the wifi range does not cover the whole house, also the cell phone coverage in this location is poor - all together rendered this location a great place to unplug and unwind. Some of us attempting to work remotely from here found the network service inadequate. Overall, a very enjoyable stay, terrific place to slow down and relax.
