One of the best locations in Sandbridge ! Virginia’s Outer Banks are so pristine! Clear water and wide beaches... Sleeps 11 in beds inside. A single bed over a double bed in the game room for three more. We sleep 14 comfortably. PET FRIENDLY! Right across the street from the Ocean. Watch the sunrise over the ocean from your front deck.... The white sandy beach is right across the street. You can’t get much closer to that clear green water and fine white sand than this property. Walk a block on the picturesque ocean road that fronts our house to the market and get breakfast biscuits and the morning paper. Take your dog on a walk and your kids to the beach with lifeguards on duty. Or find a more a more private spot right in front. Splash around in the big pool ( it is Not heated) and relax after in the HOT TUB and in the loungers. At sunset , grill on the front deck with a view of the ocean or check out the sunset from the back deck as your family hangs out in the pool or game room below. Cook dinner in the spacious and bright kitchen and enjoy ocean views from the main living salon with high ceilings and bright summer colors. Sleep in comfy beds and comforters after a long day of beaching, boating, golfing, playing, sunbathing and above all relaxing at the beach. and if you feel like eating out you can walk a block to a restaurant and sports bar without ever getting in your car!!
Leather sectional with 3 power recliners!! we painted the entire interior in bright summer colors. In 2015 we renovated the kitchen with a new floor, granite countertops and refinished cabinets. New cookware. Landscaping around the pool.
We have high speed Wi-fi . 5 bedrooms, 2 1/2 baths
Sandbridge is a quiet little beach neighborhood several miles south of the Virginia Beach strip just to the north of the North Carolina line. Sandbridge is sometimes referred to as 'the Outer Banks of Virginia'. The game room is a detached garage that has been converted to its own space with a ping pong table, full size refrigerator , Pyramid style bunkbed ( double bed down and single on top) and flat screen Smart TV. Bring your XBox or video games and hook up to the TV. Ample parking; however, Parking Can be an issue if you bring a lot of large vehicles so call me with questions on this issue. Sandbridge has no on street parking. .
We are only one block from the public beach where lifeguards are on duty in the summer months. If you have small children this is a big plus. The street in front is generally for local traffic and has very little traffic, even in the peak of summer. Beach access is right across this sleepy little road.
You can walk down this little street about a block or so to the local market for morning coffee, fresh doughnuts and deli sandwiches for breakfast lunch and dinner....Restaurant has the best pizza and a sports bar all within easy walk,
You can watch the sunrise and sip coffee from one of our coffee makers on the front deck, while the others sleep and look forward to another sunny day at the pool or beach.
In the evenings, some of our guests like to enjoy cocktails on the front deck looking out over the ocean. Or on the back and pool decks at sunset..
There are many other restaurants a few minutes drive away. "The Baja" rocks with live music most nights in the summertime.
Back Bay Wildlife Refuge is just a few minutes south and you sometimes see wild horses and pigs and other wildlife year-round.
If you want to cook there is a fully stocked kitchen, gas grill on the back pool deck ,and large areas for dining either inside or on the front or back decks.
Hell's Point Golf Course is about 5 minutes up the road and is consistently ranked in the top 100 of all public courses in the country. Tennis courts and playgrounds and a fishing pier are another 5 minutes in the other direction. The Virginia Beach Oceanfront is about 15 minutes to the north
..
You can expect a relaxing vacation on an uncrowded beach right in front of this well appointed home......Give us a call or email us for more details and rental information if you have more questions about the house or Sandbridge Beach. We look forward to hearing from you.

Perfect location! Great pool/hot tub. Plenty of space for our family of 5 (3 adult kids) and one dog. Host was super easy to communicate with. We had a great, relaxing time!
Nice beach house in Sandbridge, with pool and hot tub, everything clean and easy. Well-stocked kitchen. Owner is easy to contact if questions. Walk to the store and restaurant and ice cream shop. It's pretty perfect.
Great location if you are looking to spend your days at the beach, wind down at the pool and hot tub, this is perfect. Plenty of space. Description of property is accurate. Kitchen is well stocked. Pictures are what the property looks like. The owner is very helpful and responsive! We didn’t have any issues during our stay. We definitely would consider staying here again. Thank you!!
Nice clean house, although dated. Comfortable stay. Roomy, well supplied kitchen but the table and chairs are cramped against the wall or hinder the walkway if pulled out. Double doors to bedroom areas did a good job of keeping out noise from the living area. Quirky isolated game room is smelly, but would be a great separate space for older kids.
Pool and hot tub were very nice.
Great location, beach access across the street one house down, grocery and restaurant one block away. Parking for at least 4 cars.
Great rental. Covered all of our needs. Great views of sunrise. The pool was very nice to be able to come back and use for evening swims with the family after a day at the beach or after dinner since it gets full evening sun. The host was very prompt with answering questions and made arrangements to fix things what needed repaired while we were there. The pool is also very well maintained as there was a pool cleaning service making their rounds early one morning. Plenty of hot water for showers, dishes, clothes washer.
Would book it again or even consider buying it if they were selling.
Front deck and back upper deck furniture was dirty and outdated. Wasps around hot tub top edging and back upperdeck. Grass/sand area by pool was unkept.
Website stated heated pool - NO heated pool.
I really liked the house location. It was perfect.
It was clean and the kitchen area had more than enough dishes, pots/pans/silverwear.
I’m sure as the season progresses that they’ll more than likely have all of the above things fixed.
My family stayed here for a week. The kitchen was stocked really well. There were pots and pans for light or heavy duty cooking. Plenty of dishes for serving many guests at one time. Pool was cleaned before and during our stay, and they were cleaning it as we were leaving for the next guests. I found the bedrooms were very quiet even with people in the living or pool area which is great if you have different bedtimes living together for a week. This house definitely worked for us. Would rent again. As an added perk, there are fresh apple fritters available every day at Sandbridge Market which is about a 3 minute walk from the house. Usually sold starting at 6AM and sold out by 7:30AM because they are that good!
Fabulous location. We've been going to Sandbridge for approx. 15 years now and this was one of our favorite spots. so convenient to everything - from shopping, food - even the beach is directly across the street. Beautiful views and even great neighbors. The house is massive, far more than we needed but great for a large family/group. Front deck overlooking ocean and the pool were my favorite spots.

Liked: Check-in, communication, location
We had a very good time. The stove handle was broke so it was very difficult to use the oven.
We’ve stayed here 3 times now and love the location, pool, hot tub, proximity to beach and store/restaurants. House (beds, game room esp.) is relaxed, little rough around the edges. But, peaceful spot. Hard to leave. Also, owner was helpful and responsive when we had questions.
