About this property

Charming home with outdoor space for relaxation & family fun. Beach 5 min. walk.

Family fun in the quiet north end of Sandbridge. After a day at the beach, come home to relax in the private pool, soak in the new hot tub, hang out by the poolside cabana bar, or enjoy a drink on the cozy screened-in porch. Cook dinner in the fully appointed kitchen and eat local seafood on the large deck, or drive into Virginia Beach and experience the night life there! Ideally located on a quiet dead-end street and within a short walk to the beach, Three Little Birds is a classic Sandbridge Beach cottage that has been expanded and updated to maximize relaxation and family fun. The property includes 4 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, a cozy living/dining/kitchen area with flat screen TV and DVR, plus two outdoor entertainment areas: a new deck and screened porch combination attached to the second level living/dining area; and a landscaped yard that includes a pool, new hot tub (fall, 2025) poolside cabana bar, covered porch, patio, and lawn. This is the perfect setting for making memories with your family and friends! Sandbridge offers easy access to several parks, farmers markets, restaurants, and shops, plus everything Virginia Beach has to offer. The Virginia Beach Oceanfront entertainment area, including the famous 3-mile boardwalk and parallel bike path, is a 25-30 minute drive.

This home is very nice. It is well maintained, clean and has everything to make your stay comfortable. The front porch was my favorite place to relax, very cozy and plenty of seating. The hot tub, pool area and cabana bar are great and also have plenty of seating for everyone. My family had a great time here.

This is a great house! It’s only a short walk to the ocean—Sandbridge Beach is nice and quiet compared with the built-up parts of Virginia Beach. The backyard pool and bar were a huge hit with our kids. The house was stocked with everything we needed—we both ate in and dined out in the area. Would definitely recommend this house for families and anyone looking for a peaceful and relaxing getaway.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Three Little Birds! The screened-in porch is an ideal spot to enjoy a morning coffee. The kids particularly loved the pool, and we appreciated the beautiful landscaping surrounding the house, including the cozy sitting area under the house.

Really well-done beach house a block and a half from the ocean with great amenities to include a cabana with TV, large pool, and a new hot tub. The house was extremely well stocked and equipped with everything you would need to enjoy your stay. The host is fantastic, easy to communicate with, and very responsive to any needs you might have while on premise. They provided very helpful information on the area (restaurants, entertainment, house information, etc.) and were generally great to work with during the booking, check-in, stay, and check-out process.Our family of four could not have enjoyed our week stay more and we will definitely look to book again!

About the host

Hosted by Chip Hopkins

Host profile image
We lived in the DC area for 24 years and raised 2 children there. We are now based in Richmond, VA, but love coming to Sandbridge for rest and relaxation, especially when our children or extended family or friends can join us.
We purchased the property in 2019. As soon as we walked in during an open house, it felt just right and we fell in love with the house. We could instantly picture ourselves spending time there with family and friends. We loved the cozy feeling of this classic Sandbridge beach cottage, but it had also been updated and expanded and was large enough to accommodate groups of up to 10 people.
Mary & Chip Hopkins

Why they chose this property

The house is located on a dead-end street in the quiet north end of Sandbridge Beach within a 5 minute walk to the beach. This is exactly what we were looking for location-wise: close to the beach, but also a quiet family-oriented setting. The north end is a perfect neighborhood for walking, jogging and bike riding. Traffic is limited to those who live or are staying in the area. The speed limit is 25 mph, so the streets are generally quiet throughout the north end (although they do get busier in the summer time).

What makes this property unique

The most unique aspect of the property is the outdoor living space. When we purchased the house, there was a unique covered porch with a seating area and hot tub. We added a pool, poolside cabana bar (with 55” smart TV), and extensive landscaping, so now it is a larger and even more appealing and inviting outdoor space for the whole family. We also replaced the hot tub with a brand new Mira 6-person hot tub in fall, 2025.
The second outdoor area that we love is the second level screened porch and deck. There was already a large deck when we purchased the house, but we replaced the (aging) deck and added a screened porch. This provides another appealing area to gather, have a drink, or prepare a meal using the gas grill, and enjoy time together.
