This beautiful house has great ocean views, a large swimming pool, a new hot tub, and is right across the street from one of the nicest, cleanest beaches in the world.
If you believe in the old real estate adage,"location, location, location", then you are in the right location if you are looking for a vacation spot on the Outer Banks of Virginia.
"Placebo" is a beach cottage one row back from the beach in Sandbridge, 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". We have 5 bedrooms, and sleep 11 people comfortably in beds. There is a fold out sleepsofa for 2 more.
This house is semi-oceanfront, with wonderful views and sounds of the ocean. We are one row back from the first line of Oceanfront homes so you look in between houses for the views. The beach is really close and we actually are on the dunes and have a dune in our front yard. The large new pool is on the other side of the house and gets great afternoon sun.
It is only steps to the surf, and is located 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 the newspaper. Location, location, location!! You can watch the sunrise from the front deck while the others sleep and look forward to another sunny day at the beach. In the evenings, some of our guests like to enjoy cocktails on the front deck looking out over the ocean.
Next to the fully stocked market and deli is a wonderful restaurant with ocean views and excellent food. In the evenings it is fun to walk from the restaurant over to the yogurt shop for dessert before walking home. If you don't like getting in your car to go everywhere you don't have to.
There are 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, a gas grill 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 house is spacious and comfortable, with five bedrooms and a queen sleep-sofa that allows for sleeping for 13 people, 11 in beds. The large decks allow great views of sunrises, sunsets and beach-watching any time of the day. There are three queen beds, Four twin beds, and a queen sleepsofa.
The close proximity to the beach, neighborhood center and public facilities mean you don't need to get in your car for days at a time..
... If you want more action you are only a few minutes drive to great shopping,restaurants,the nightlife of the resort strip of Virginia Beach or another hour or so to Colonial Williamsburg,Busch Gardens and Water Country.
Sandbridge is surrounded by the Back Bay National Wildlife Refuge and as a result there is no through traffic. All traffic headed for Sandbridge is going only to Sandbridge. This remoteness is part of the charm of this fabulous little beach. It is out of the way but still very accessible to everything.
You can expect a relaxing vacation on an uncrowded beach right in front of this well appointed home......Give us a call at 757-491-8800 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.
