THE DETAILS:
Welcome to "Carolina On My Mind", a 2bed/2bath 1400 sq ft luxury beach retreat located at the southern-most part of Virginia Beach in the charming coastal community of Sandbridge at the exclusive Sanctuary at False Cape complex, which is the only beachfront complex in Sandbridge!
Your toes will literally be steps from the sand with no roads to cross.
This unique Oceanfront location within Virginia Beach provides the serenity of the neighboring National Wildlife Refuge with the convenience of swimming, surfing, and a fishing pier, plus tennis courts, a playground and a sheltered picnic area at Little Island Park next door.
At the same time, you're only a stone's throw from a variety of grocery, dining, and shopping options all over Virginia Beach.
Inside, you'll find a spacious living area that features plenty of seating with a large comfy sectional couch surrounding a 65" 4K Smart TV. Cuddle up for a movie night or have a family game night.
Enjoy homemade meals in the large, fully-equipped gourmet kitchen with granite countertops, custom back-splash, upgraded stainless steel appliances, and a bar top with bar stools.
Relax on the private patio with both Ocean and Back Bay views! You'll also find Ocean views from areas of the main living space!
The Master bedroom features a King bed with upgraded mattress and remote-controlled adjustable base, 50" Smart HDTV, a newly renovated en-suite, a large walk-in closet, and access to the patio.
The Master Bath is newly remodeled with high-end finishes throughout. Enjoy the large custom-tiled shower with both rain-style showerhead and a shower wand, and a shower seat. The custom vanity has dual his-and-her sinks and the shower also has separate his-and-her shower heads!
The secondary bedroom also features a King bed with a twin loft bed, its own 50" Smart HDTV, and another full bathroom with high-end finishes.
The condo is stocked with games, books, cards and activities. The possibilities are endless!
Full of a variety of amenities, this luxury condominium offers breathtaking views of the Ocean and the Back Bay. Imagine having your morning coffee while the sun comes up over the Atlantic and relaxing on the patio in the evening while the sun sets over the Back Bay.
In between, take a casual stroll along the shore to the pier and listen to the crashing waves while a group of dolphins swim by. Spend the day basking in the sun's rays on the beautiful beachfront or take a beach break by one of the three sparkling pools available exclusively for guest use.
You can workout in one of two state-of-the-art fitness centers, or just pause and enjoy the scenery from one of the many benches located along the private oceanfront boardwalk.
For your culinary delights, the pool deck features multiple state of the art Viking gas grill stations with plenty of options for seating and dining. The complex also features a Jose Tequilas on site!
And if you're more in the mood for a night on the town, there are numerous restaurants, breweries, and eateries all around Virginia Beach - and it would be our pleasure to guide you to some of our favorite local spots.
As your hosts, we are committed to making your stay memorable, comfortable, and enjoyable. We pride ourselves on attention to detail, and we strive for 100% satisfaction 100% of the time. We treat our guests like family, and we are constantly looking for ways to improve the guest experience. As fantastic as the property is, we want your host experience to be our best amenity.

About the host
Hosted by Crystal Argila
We're Virginia Beach locals who just love the beach life. We stay pretty active with our kids' activities, particularly with our daughter's travel soccer - but she's worth it. :) On our spare time, there's nothing we like more than to do than remind ourselves that we live at the beach, and Sandbridge is our favorite place to do just that.
Why they chose this property
The Sanctuary has great amenities and is right on the beach. It's next to Little Island Park and the Back Bay Wildlife Refuge. We like to strap a hammock to the pier supports and relax. It's the perfect spot!
