Sleeping for 11 in beds Easy walking distance to beach , market, Restaurants Next to public beach and lifeguards, Big Pool Hot Tub and fun game room.

One of the best locations in Sandbridge ! Virginia’s Outer Banks are so pristine! Clear water and wide beaches... Sleeps 11 in beds inside. Couple of bunk beds in the game room. PET FRIENDLY! Right across the street from the Ocean. Watch the sunrise over the ocean from your front deck.... The white sandy beach is right across the street. You can’t get much closer to that clear green water and fine white sand than this property. Walk a block on the picturesque ocean road that fronts our house to the market and get breakfast biscuits and the morning paper. Take your dog on a walk and your kids to the beach with lifeguards on duty. Or find a more a more private spot right in front. Splash around in the big pool ( it is Not heated) and relax after in the HOT TUB and in the loungers. At sunset , grill on the front deck with a view of the ocean or check out the sunset from the back deck as your family hangs out in the pool or game room below. Cook dinner in the spacious and bright kitchen and enjoy ocean views from the main living salon with high ceilings and bright summer colors. Sleep in comfy beds and comforters after a long day of beaching, boating, golfing, playing, sunbathing and above all relaxing at the beach. and if you feel like eating out you can walk a block to a restaurant and sports bar without ever getting in your car!! Game room has bunk beds and a sleep sofa...( not a bedroom but...)
new carpet and furniture in great room. Leather sectional with 3 power recliners!! we painted the entire interior in bright summer colors. In 2015 we renovated the kitchen with a new floor, granite countertops and refinished cabinets. New cookware. Landscaping around the pool.
We have high speed Wi-fi . 5 bedrooms, 2 1/2 baths
Sandbridge is 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 set of bunk beds in the bunk room, but we do not advertise it as a regular sleeping area. The bunk room is a detached garage that has been converted to its own space with a ping pong table, full size refrigerator , bunk beds, and flat screen Smart TV. Bring your XBox or video games and hook up to the TV. Kids love it as a getaway from the parents, and it does provide some extra sleeping space. It does not have a bathroom or closet.
Ample parking! We widened the original driveway to accommodate more vehicles. Since there is no on street parking this has really made parking easier.
This house is semi-oceanfront, with views and sounds of the ocean. We are one row back from the first line of Oceanfront homes. The beach is really close and we actually are on the dunes and have a dune in our front yard. The large pool is on the other side of the house and gets great afternoon sun.
We are only 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. 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.
You can walk to get food and drinks! Next to the fully stocked market and deli is The Sandbridge Island Restaurant with ocean views and excellent food. In the evenings it is fun to walk from the restaurant over to the yogurt shop or Ben and Jerry's 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, gas grills on the front deck with ocean views and one on the back deck too ,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 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 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. Security deposits are returned by VRBO/HomeAway seven (7) days following your departure date.
