Beach Bird is located in the low-traffic, family-friendly North end of Sandbridge, 500' from the beach. We rent weekly from Saturday to Saturday during the peak summer months May to September. Check-in is 3 P.M. and check out is 10 A.M. We have a digital door lock, but we are almost always there for arrival since always seems a lot to do, making sure everything is working. We specialize on family and friend reunions and provide amenities for all ages including toddlers, with several cribs, a high chair, strollers. We also supply pool and beach toys. We have ping-pong in the rec room downstairs, and badminton and volleyball for the yard or pool, We have a 200 sq. ft. 2nd story deck in front and a 384 sq.ft 2nd story deck on the south side., with a 200 sq. ft. 3rd story deck for 2027. We have a 240 sq. ft. covered patio area in back, 200 sq. ft. of lounging deck with 8 chaise lounges in the rear with the 16' X 32' sports pool (no diving, child-safe), which can be solar-heated. The second floor of the main house has a king master bedroom, great room with kitchen, dining room, and living room, and two queen bedrooms. A full size crib is available and will fit easily in the king bedrooms, and the second floor queen bedrooms. Last year we upgraded to a large U shaped couch and a new dining set now seating 10. Along with the six bar stools we now seat 16. The first floor has king and queen bedrooms sharing a bath, a fifth bedroom with a double lower, twin upper bunk and with it's own full bath. the sixth bedroom has a queen bed. Bedroom 7 has a queen bed. The rec room has a double futon and queen sofa bed for use with extra guests. The kitchen is fully equipped and many guests have told us it is the best equipped kitchen they have experienced. For example we have two coffee makers, one regular and one Keurig. We completely replaced the electrical panel to handle the new addition. For the 2027 summer season we will have the new three story rear addition. There have been many hurdles, getting contractors to finish (and in one case do anything!). It will have a double futon and bath on the first floor near the pool, a queen bedroom on the second floor with room for a crib, and another queen bedroom/office space on the third floor. Since acquiring the house in 2000, it has been a constant series of upgrades including replacing all the windows that had lost their seal and fogged over, adding granite countertops and new cabinets, replacing the inside spiral staircase with regular stairs, tiling the bathrooms, adding the pool and gazebo and then enlarging the gazebo. We could write a book on all the upgrades. Getting back the the outside, the path to the beach is right across from my driveway. You pass two houses to get to the beach road, then two houses right to the life-guarded beach, which I recommend in unsettled weather, or two houses left to a more private area of the beach, virtually empty during the week. Looking North you can see downtown Virginia Beach, about 5 miles, and to the South is 20 miles of beach all the way to the Outer Banks..The entire front yard is gravel so we have ample off street parking; hard to find in SB. In walking distance is SB Market with an excellent deli and amazingly extensive stock and Sandbridge Seaside Restaurant which consistently makes the top ten lists for Best of the Beach. Across the street is a Ben and Jerry's, and Zero's Subs. Five miles south in SB is the SB fishing pier and tennis courts, with Baja Restaurant and jet ski rentals. A mile further is Back Bay Wildlife Refuge with miles of walking trails and guided tram tours several days a week. Spectacular bird life, especially in the Fall with large flocks of Snowy Geese and shorebirds over-wintering.. A half mile back on SB Road is SB Rentals which you passed on the way in, with surfboard, kayak, bike, and just about every household item for rent, as well as surfing lessons and guided kayak eco-tours.. Also on the way in on the left is Hell's Point Golf Club, one of the many public golf courses available in VB.
