Sandbridge Beach Retreat with Great Screened Porches

We loved our stay in Sandbridge. The home was perfectly beachy and rustic and suited our small family well (though we could comfortably have fit more than our 4 adults and 2 toddlers).

The kitchen is well stocked with all the things you may need to cook a big meal. I do wish the oven was full size, but we made it work!

The beach is not a far walk at all, though I would recommend renting or brining a beach cart if you plan to schlep a ton of stuff. This home is fairly far from "stuff"--which was exactly what we were looking for, but is super close to the nature preserve and a short drive inland to get to restaurants/groceries/etc.

Overall, we'd definitely stay again.

Had a great time with family. Plenty of seating. Close walk to the beach. Only things I can think of to let people know is that two bedrooms are on the exterior of the main house. Rooms are well secured but younger children might be leary of using the the restroom as you have to cross an exterior porch. Also the room with the pull out sofa can not be accessed from inside the house. This place was spotless, the owners really nice and the price was completely right. Definitely a place I would go again. These owners are first class vrobo people!

This is a house from a different age. Two of the bedrooms are separated from the rest of the house with a full length breezeway. The breezeway keeps the air flowing from all directions and the screens keep the bugs from getting in - leaving a beautiful place to relax and enjoy the weather. You could sleep there but the bedrooms are so nice you'll give up and go to bed- you can smell the cedar paneling.

The beach is a couple of blocks away - dragon flies would cheer us as walked over. When you come back from the beach there is a really good outdoor shower that helps get the sand off. Sandbridge is becoming more and more high density but this house still has a big yard with pine trees and blackberry bushes. It feels more private.

We enjoyed our stay in Virginia Beach very much and we would stay at this property again as it offered reasonable value for the area. The owners are helpful and friendly. The location is perfect - the beach is just steps away and is not very crowded at all, even during high season. The layout is terrific as two of the bedrooms are separated by a breezeway and are not part of the main building which affords a larger family lots of space and privacy. The furnishings were comfy and well laid out for the space. The A/C units are efficient and noiseless which I was overjoyed about because we were staying during a heat wave. I had a couple of tense moments trying to haul loads of laundry down the stairs and along an uneven route to the laundry room, which was inconvenient and a bit dangerous - a laundry chute would be a welcomed addition if feasible/possible. The house itself is almost 50 years old and while charming, could really use some updates (kitchen and bathrooms). Minor repairs are needed to the sliding doors going out to the sun deck (we chose not to use the sun deck for fear of doing further damage to the door that didn't want to budge) as well as the French doors leading to the bunk beds (doors stick and are hard to close; locking mechanism seems to be broken and my daughter cut her hand on the sharp protrusion from the door knob). Finally, a propane BBQ would be much cleaner and more convenient. We ended up cooking everything on the stove because we didn't want to take the time to wait for charcoal or deal with having to clean it out and wipe it down afterwards. But truthfully, these complaints are minor and did not significantly detract from a terrific week in the sun.

We had a wonderful vacation due in large part to this house... It was accommodating and unique. The beautiful screened porch and breezeway made the place a pleasure to stay in! Close to the beach (especially when cutting thru the backyard neighbors' yard).
