By The Beach

By the Beach enjoys an amazing beach location, with eight large bedrooms, a loft, five full baths, a newly renovated kitchen, and three stories of amazing views of sunny Sandbridge Beach. You'll love challenging friends to games of pool and foosball in the game room. Take a refreshing dip in the big sparkling pool, grill some surf and turf on the gas grill, or take a few steps and hit the beach! The sunroom is a wonderful spot for a good read in the evenings, with an expansive wrap around Trex deck for great ocean and bay views. The spacious family room, with its dramatic cathedral ceilings, 60-inch TV, and panoramic views of the ocean, is filled with natural light, bringing the beachy feel of Sandbridge Island right inside. This home has 4,000 square feet of space, and there is more than enough room and fun things to do to make your family vacation comfortable and an experience to remember.

Great location.

This house is a great location across the street from the beach access. There are parts of the house that have been updated like the kitchen, 1 en-suite bathroom, floors on the main living area. But there a lot of parts of the house that are showing its age & some of the furnishings are very outdated. (Solid furniture but older) The pool, deck, & pool furniture is old. This house has so much potential and wasn’t uncomfortable but just not a superstar house.

This is a great location with a great price. Came to VA Beach for my daughter’s basketball tournament and had plenty of space for the team and had the beach right across the street. I would definitely stay here again

Needs TLC

Very well equipped kitchen and good location although when we booked it, there was an empty lot across the street and it was described as a “panoramic view of the ocean”.Upon arrival there was a house being built across the street complete with an out house and a dumpster. Except for the main entrance, which has spiders, cobwebs, and dirt, the rest of the house was clean.the grill was extremely dirty and had mold growing on it. The whole house could use a coat of paint and the sunroom has Rotten wood by the windows and neither outside door closes completely. Three of the deck chairs are broken. The dishwasher is missing a stop on the upper rack which makes it come out too far and it is difficult to put back in when loaded with dishes. The “basketball court” is nonexistent, and the hoop is broken. the king bed balcony cannot be used because the door handle is broken and the slider does not slide; the screen for that door is blowing in the wind. The dryer does not work. We should be compensated for this gross misrepresentation of this property.

Pool closed

The house was suitable for our family. For the most part everything was clean except for behind night stands and around furniture. We were told that the pool would be closing the following week and while we were there they came and closed the pool. Our kids were very disappointed! The kitchen was well stocked. The cleanliness and early pool closure are what keeps me from giving this 4 stars.

Great Beach Accessibility

We had a great view of the ocean for at least this year because another house is being built right in front. Great size pool for a great game of volleyball. Need to upgrade the VB net. House is older so there could be more upgrades. Overall the beach access is the key to this house.

Rental property (needs a little love)

Grew up in VB and came back to see friends after 37 years. We didn't use half of the house/bedrooms since many still live in the area. Off season super quiet and dark not many ppl around - nice size house/property. As a property owner who also rents through a private agency, I would recommend having someone come in and evaluate what you could do to bring the property to the level it COULD be and command the $ asked. Personally, I would recommend cutting down the bushes covering the address / mailbox on the street everyone kept driving past esp at night. House definitely needs upgrades and minor things like paint/decor/fixing minor things that are broken or just look like they need to be upgraded. A great place to crash and right across the street from the beach great location.... My advice is do your grocery shopping before you get to the house if possible esp if you don't want to have to drive or go out to eat and are just wanting to relax. In November there's not much around and most places don't deliver out there except pizza/salads/sandwiches. Not sure if thats the same in the summer? It would have been great to have a binder of local points of interest, events for the month/year (if we came back), local dining and just maybe overall details about the area and what's around. be prepared - you'll need a car to get anywhere.... and TRUE Va Beach is about 30 minutes drive despite 7 miles away. If you look at the distance your planning to drive multiply it by 3 or 4 and thats how long it generally takes to get there. wish we had the opportunity to use the pool and go to the beach but summer rates are super expensive.

Great house, needs some TLC.

Overall we enjoyed our stay. The location is great, the layout worked well for our group and there were updates that were nice. General maintenance is needed: exterminator for ants and spiders, power wash the outside, repair/replace window & door screens & handles/locks, t.p. holder. We’ve been vacationing together for a decade, so we know that rental homes are not pristine. This one needs more general maintenance than we’ve encountered before.

Family vacation at the beach

The location was perfect. We just walked out the front door crossed the quiet street and we were at the entrance to the beach. We all enjoyed the pool. The dining room table was large enough for all of us to sit down together The management was quick to respond to any of our requests

First Vacation with Everyone

"By The Beach" more than met our expectations. With Gram & Grampa, their four children, their four children's spouses and ten grandchildren, the house fit our needs perfectly. The easy access to the beach, the relaxing pool, and the perfectly furnished, spread out bedrooms made for the perfect stay. Since it was the first time all twenty of us had been together for a vacation, we went in with some minor concern about how things would go. Bottom line, it went great. The home was expertly furnished to be appropriate for the various age groups. Practical furniture that we did not have to worry about with the kids, but no so minimalist that the adults felt cheated. The week went by in a flash without a single squabble or disagreement by anyone. Pretty amazing! We will definitely consider "By The Beach" for future reunions.

Nice house

The house was nice. There were minor things that needed updated and fixed. The kitchen was nice and spacious. The AC was great in the main living area. The upstairs needed more air. It was a great location and slept 9 of us comfortably. We would use this house again.
