We had a great trip in Sandbridge!

We had a fabulous stay! This was one of the nicest Vrbo rentals ever. The host was extremely attentive and gracious. Everything was as described. We had 4 generations and enjoyed the pool, the billiards, the well-stocked kitchen, the lagoon and of course the beach. The beach is one of the prettiest beaches and only a 5 minute walk. Super clean house, quiet, absolutely perfect. Highly recommend!

We had a wonderful week in Sandbridge at this beautiful house. Greg was so helpful, accommodating, and supplied so much. The dock proved to be a constant source of entertainment for all the kids who loved catching fish and turtles. It was a quick 5 minute walk to the beach and the provided beach cart made taking everything over so easy. Thank you so much for offering such a wonderful retreat!

The Sandbridge Water Lovers retreat was a good fit for our 4 generation family vacation. We enjoyed the pool. Short walk to the pretty sandbridge beaches and the ocean and a canoe on the lagoon. The kitchen was nice and generally well equipped. Everything was clean. We enjoyed the screen porch and decks too. Thr owner was very accessible by phone. The rental is ina quieter residential part of Sandbridge.
I rated accuracy of listing a 4 for 2 reasons. The listing said a kayak and a john boat and it was actually a canoe and a johnboat. The listing indicsted a baby gate which is accurate however the spiral staircase and the pressure gate do not work together. We made it work for our 18 month old grandson by threading the gste through slats in the railing and pushing the coffee table up against the stairway.
This faciltiy has lots of stairs invluding the aforementioned spiral staircase inside. If you have mobility issues this would not be a good rental for you. Otherwise we would recommend it and would stay there again.

Probably the cleanest and best equipped VRBO I’ve ever stayed in, which has been many. The owners are fabulous and came to clean pool mid week. We will definitely want to stay again. East track to beach and you don’t need to bring chairs as they have very nice ones, much nicer then my own. Plus they have a wagon. We used the boat a lot, and paddle boards. My children of all ages really enjoyed!

Property was just as pictured. It was spacious for all of us and within walking distance to beach access. The waves could be heard in the distance. Even though it was fall with leaves and cool weather, we would have wished the grill was in working condition since we had planned to grill hamburgers and hotdogs as a meal different from holiday cooking. Other than that, everything else was in working condition and comfortable.

We had three families with a total of 7 boys from ages 4-11. We had an awesome time. The kids (and dads) loved playing football in the pool after spending the day at the beach. Perfect set up for 3 families with kids!

Relaxing spot in Virginia beach
The kitchen and dining area were spacious And much enjoyed by the 9 of us. It is a very short walk to the beach and we took advantage of the beach chairs and and a few rode the bicycles.. Greg was a very responsive welcoming host and we appreciated that. The kids enjoyed watching the turtles in the canal and though it was too cold to swim we enjoyed sitting around the pool and took advantage of the grill.

The property is in a great location. Close to the heart of Virginia Beach yet far enough away to avoid large crowds. There are plenty of bedrooms to house 5 adults and 6 grandchildren ages 2-9. The kids really enjoyed the pool and fishing in the canal out back. They caught turtles, sunny's and blue gill. We even caught a small catfish. Of course, it was all for fun and we did catch and release. We did not really use the pool table downstairs, but there were cards and games and a puzzle. Fortunately, the weather was perfect every day so we really only used the outdoor activities. The kids also really appreciated the surf & body boards best. Being a large family, it was difficult to find a restaurant that didn't have really long waits( they don't take reservations) unless you went super early, like 5. so we wound up eating in most nights. The kitchen was sufficient. I would have liked a large skillet or griddle to cook large breakfasts and the toaster was duck taped together , but we made due. There was not enough seating in any one area for all of us, so kids had to eat at the bar and the adults ate at the table. Not all of us could fit on the furniture in the living room so 1/.2 of us would have to use the porch which was good except that there was very little light. I like to read and it was difficult to do after sunset. Probably the biggest issue for us was the circular stairs. It was the only stairway inside and for 6 children and 2 seniors, we had to be very careful. It also was not very convenient hauling groceries up. We wound up using the outside stairs to be safe. Greg was immediately available for any issues we had and very helpful when questioned. He also came and cleaned the pool mid week. All in all, we had a good time and would return again. Thank you

This property was a perfect fit for our family. It had everything we needed to have a great time. Greg the owner supplied everything needed for the beach plus bikes canoe and boat to use in the lake. We enjoyed fishing off the dock in the back of the house and watching the wildlife. Very spacious and well kept home.

This stay was beyond our expectations! From the accommodations the owners made during COVID to accommodations themselves. It was everything we needed and wanted. The owner was responsive before the rental started and then when we were there. Can’t say enough about how positive an experience this was.

There were 12 of us ranging from 2 yo to 82 yo staying in this house for a week. Plenty of space, very clean home. Very close to the beach (<5min walk.) The canal with the lake access in the back created the best memories from the trip - turtle watching, boating and canoeing, fishing... Because of a great California like weather, we were able to enjoy the covered porch a lot.

We have high expectations when we stay at vacation properties. And all of those expectations were exceeded at this location. The owner literally bent over backwards not just to be reactive but to be proactive. We had everything we needed and more. This is an excellent property and was completely as promised. The walk to the beach is entirely painless and the beach is both beautiful and clean. We will definitely return to Sanbridge and to this property. Great experience! No negatives.

I couldn’t say enough good things about this home. and I knew when I was booking it that it would be perfect for our group! This was a 50th birthday celebration spot to be shared with my family who lives in Virginia, Ohio and NY and after a LONG time of not seeing each other, a wonderful way to come together! First, Greg’s home is set back on the next street from the beach putting us just far enough away from the main thoroughfare which was exactly what I wanted. The beach was very easy to get to and very private compared to the stretch of surf and sand a mile further up by the main Sandbridge hotel area. There is a wonderful convenience center market where we got fresh donuts almost every morning and a bunch of other items and they had everything perishable and non perishable to offer. We did not feel like we were price gouged either-everything right in line with regular grocery prices. The neighborhood is quiet but there are friendly faces everywhere and you can walk to local beach shops, the Ben and Jerry’s ice cream parlor and Jersey Mike’s sandwich shop easily too!
In Greg’s house, the kitchen and living area along with the screened in porch are all together so we had people hanging out everywhere in this large space. No one felt crowded and everyone was able to do heir own thing (played games, cooked and prepped, watched TV, happy hour in the breeze on the porch). The living room was stocked with some games and books and kitchen were stocked with all cookware that we needed. All the bedrooms housed our 4 couples and one 12 year old comfortably. There are 2 king rooms, 2 Queen rooms and a room of 4 twin bunk beds. Each couple/family had their own personal bathroom and all baths have showers. Plenty of closet and drawer space. Huge wash machine and dryer to do large loads. Lovely decor throughout the house and a ground floor pool table where everyone tried their skill. The pool area and patio are amazing and perfect for bbq and animal gazing in the canal. We did not get much pool time due to weather conditions and did not use the boats to explore but would try to do that next time we stay. I felt that Greg has thought through all the details that guests would be looking for in a beach house stay. He has made every attempt to have these niceties available on arrival and we didn’t have to ask many questions or want for anything. The sun decks at each level are amazing too! I would definitely love to stay here again! Thanks Greg!

Family Getaway
We had a great stay in Sandbridge. It was the first big family gathering since the pandemic hit so it was wonderful to get together with family from NJ, NC and TX. The house was great for our family and easy 5 min walk to the beach.
Thank you to Greg and his family for a great vacation place.

Visit to see our Navy Sailor
We had a great family vacation and enjoyed the pool area, pool table, bikes and walks. It wasn’t quite warm enough to visit the beach but we explored the local area. This property has a lot of stairs and the spiral staircase makes it difficult to carry laundry upstairs and to transport groceries. Greg was great to work with!

Birthday weekend with the family
It was the perfect place to relax and unwind for myself and my family for my 50th birthday. The view of the trees and walk to beach ti hear the roar of the ocean was what I needed. Thank you for creating a island oasis during the pandemic.
