Great family getaway
Guest: Chris

Review Submitted: 10/02/10
This home was perfect for our family of five (mom, dad, grandparents and 10-month old). The home was simply beautiful and looked just as portrayed in the pictures here. We had everything we needed to vacation for a week with one very curious baby. Mark and Elaine were accommodating, providing us with all the baby gear as listed here. The kitchen is well stocked with all sorts of cooking and eating utensils and appliances. This place was a home away from home. Though it rained for 4 of the 7 days we were there, we were able to find much to do around the house (fishing, movies, games, crabbing, making quick runs to the beach, etc). We visited the Virginia Beach Aquarium and actually saw dolphins while walking on the beach one day! The She Crab soup at Margie and Rays is a must have!! All in all, a very relaxing, memorable vacation.

Great New Years Weekend

My family gathered together for the New Year weekend at this lovely home in Sandbridge. It could not have met our needs better. Our group consisted of eight adults and two children under 5, plus my elderly mother who visited during the day. The house is stocked with everything one could possibly need and more which made our vacation very easy. The layout of the house was ideal with a large communal area where we could all gather for meals and plenty of private space for sleeping and quiet time. During warmer weather months the huge deck area would expand the living space even more. We were blessed with 60 degree weather in Dec/Jan which meant we could also take advantage of the backyard with playhouse (which my kids loved), the wagon and other outdoor toys. We walked to the beach while the kids rode in the wagon, a healthy walk but one that was easily accomplished. The owners were very easy to deal with and our pre- and post-vacation communication was very good. They offered lots of helpful suggestions to make our stay even better. You will also find most of this information in printed form at the house for use during your stay. This house was so ideal for our family we are already planning to return next year. I would recommend this property without reservation.

We were travelling with a 2-year-old and a 2-month-old and the house fit our needs perfectly. I especially appreciated the bikes (one complete with child seat), tricycle, and the kayaks, all in excellent condition. The bay is a short paddle away via the canal, and is breathtaking. The bike trip to the beach took me and my 2-year-old 9 minutes (total time, driveway to toes touching the ocean). A walk with strollers and/or the wagon provided only tacks on a few minutes. Even with 2 small children, the distance to the beach was very manageable for us. Many baby/child items are available in the house. We corresponded with the owners beforehand so I knew I could leave many items at home. We used the crib, booster seat, jogging stroller, umbrella stroller, and step stools. All were in excellent condition and it was so nice not to have to pack these things. The great room/kitchen/Florida room makes up a huge open area that is much more spacious than we were anticipating from the pictures. This spacious area has lots of comfy couches and chairs and a big TV, so there is a very comfortable area to cook, eat, and unwind at the end of a long day outside. Only 2 tiny negatives: 1) It would have been more convenient if towels and linens were provided. We don't have a king size bed at home so we had to go to Walmart the first day to buy a set of sheets for the master bed. (We had anticipated doing this.) We brought all other linens and towels from home, which added a suitcase. This was not a huge deal for us since we were driving, but something to consider when you're packing or if you're flying. 2) The dryer was making a high pitched squeaking noise when we were there. The owners warned us about this the day we arrived and apologized profusely - they were genuinely upset that we would be exposed to this inconvenience. We had to do laundry while we were there so we were exposed to several hours of dryer squeals over the course of the week. We just tried to plan laundry while we were outside hanging out on the deck or at the swingset, so it was manageable. I do believe the owners were looking into getting this fixed. We've rented many vacation homes, and the owners of this home are hands down the most helpful and accommodating that we've experienced. They are personable, responsive, and their recommendations are thorough. It saved me hours of planning to have a list of restaurants, grocery stores, and attractions sent to me weeks in advance of our trip. So thoughtful!

House is great ! Rooms were bigger than we expected from the photos especially two master bed rooms and the family room! The house was very clean and well kept . Felt like "home" away from home. We loved our stay and wish to come back! It was a 10 minutes walk to the beautiful private beach and kayaking in the back of the house was amazing. Kitchen and kitchen utensils are clean and good. We look forward to staying here again ! .Thanks Mark & Elaine for letting us enjoy your house.

Great Beach Vacation

We stayed for a week in July-August for a special family week and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. We found the home as lovely as described and very comfortable, clean, and well maintained. Many extras that normally aren't available in a vacation rental - bikes, kayaks, chairs - made it extra nice. The distance from the beach was not a problem - one member of our group chauffuered the others there and then rode back on one of the bikes - great fun kayaking and spending time on the lovely decks and porches. The owners were wonderful to work with, very accommodating and helpful in all ways. It all worked together for a very pleasant and relaxing beach vacation.

We spent the week after Labor Day at this beautiful home with our 18 month old baby, and two other couples (one with a two year old, one with a two and a half year old). It was really a perfect spot for our families to relax and enjoy a family-friendly vacation. The house was well appointed for the kids outside -- great swingset/playground equipment, trikes, playhouse on the deck, sandbox, children's bike seat & helmet, and strollers -- and inside -- nursery with full sized crib, baby gates, high chair, booster seats, and outlet covers. The layout of the house and the spacious decks and porches allowed the adults to enjoy privacy, and having three full bathrooms gave everyone their own space. The kitchen had every gadget we needed, and the two grills were great for cooking out. We were also very appreciative of the owners' helpfulness and responsiveness. We got good suggestions for places to eat and places to go with the kids. They also provide lightening fast WiFi at the house, which we technology addicts appreciated. The beach is about a 12 minute walk from the house, which is not bad at all for the adults. With the kids, were glad to have access to the wagon provided, which we used to haul our gear, and two strollers, which we used to push the kids. We also went to the Little Island Park, a few miles down the road, which was great because we could drive, park the car, and have everything right there. The playground there was really great as well. The only thing that could have made our trip easier was if the house came with linens and towels. The owners were very helpful in suggesting a rental company from which we were able to acquire linens at a reasonable price. We brought our own towels from home, which was fine. Also, due to the recent hurricane and rains, there were TONS of mosquitoes in the back yard. We bought bug spray, which helped, but each time we took the garbage out, etc., we felt that we were bitten alive. I'm not sure there was anything the owners could have done about this, but be forewarned. We would love to return to this wonderful vacation spot, and hope to do so in future years. We hope to return to

My family of five along with my parents very much enjoyed our stay at this lovely Sandbridge home. Of note were the availability of the kayaks and bikes, which were a big hit for our boys. We took the kayaks and meandered through the nearby marshlands, which was absolutely beautiful. We also very much enjoyed the Back Bay National Wildlife Refuge - only a few minutes down the road - where we walked the trials. Our oldest son got some great photos of frogs, dragonflies and red-winged blackbirds. We all played in the ocean, which was neither crowded nor populated with raucous folks. The home is clean and spacious. Because it is not immediately on the beach, we had to take my elderly parents there in the car, though the rest of us could walk or take the bikes. Overall, a lovely spot with friendly and helpful hosts.

We had a wonderful time. The home is unique and beautiful; large, yet cozy. All the extras made our stay more than we could have hoped: kayaks; bikes; play areas for the kids; places to gather and places to relax in solitude; little things like salt, sugar, oil, dish soap, laundry detergent (you know -- the stuff you always need but forget to bring). My favorite part was sitting on the upper deck at night listening to the roar of the ocean. We would definitely stay again and recommend this house to our family and friends. The owners couldn't have been nicer, easier to work with, or more welcoming.

Our family very much enjoyed this home. It was very clean and we had lots of space. There were many extras that made our stay that much more enjoyable. We loved the location. The kayaks and bikes were great and we used them almost every day. The owners were very helpful if we had any questions and helped us quickly learn our way around the area. We would recommend this to any family looking for a quiet comfortable vacation.

My husband and I stayed at this wonderful vacation home with our 2.5 year old son. He was so excited by all of the kid-friendly amenties, he actually squealed when he saw the sandbox, wagons, and outdoor playset and couldn't believe his eyes to find the "surprise" playhouse on the deck as well. The home was very well equipped and spotless-a true home away from home. The owners Mark and Elaine were super helpful with restaurant and activity suggestions and made us feel like out of town family in for a visit rather than strangers. The beach was a short walk away and there was plenty to do and see nearby. We especially enjoyed the aquarium and the beautiful wide clean beaches. We would definitely recommend this property to our family and friends and plan to return ourselves in the future!
