Beach Bird is located in the low-traffic, family-friendly North end of Sandbridge, 500' from the beach. We are presently at 6 BR and 4 baths and accommodate 15+. We specialize on family and friend reunions and provide amenities for all ages with several cribs, a high chair, strollers, and a wagon. 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, or pickleball for the driveway. We have several practice putting greens which can be deployed inside or out. We have a 200 sq. ft. 2nd story deck in front and a 300 sq.ft 2nd story deck on the south side. 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, which is can be solar-heated. Next year in 2025 we will have a 3 story, 630 Sq. ft. addition with an additional 200 sq. ft. third story deck. This will accommodate an additional 6+ in 9 BR and 5 baths for even larger family and friend reunions. The first floor will have a full bath and triple bunk, the second will be a queen bedroom adjacent to the existing second floor queen bedroom. The third floor ( we got our ocean view back!) will have two double futons. The second floor of the main house has a king master bedroom, great room with kitchen, dining room, and living room, and the previously mentioned queen bedroom with full size crib. The first floor has has king and queen bedrooms sharing a bath, a 4 person bunk room with triple bunk (double lower, single upper) and a separate twin with it's own full bath. The sixth bedroom has a triple bunk. The rec room has a double futon and queen sofa bed with curtains 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. Many of our appliances and amenities have come from guest questions or suggestions, so if you arrive and don't find a specific item, let me know and I can and have supplied it the same or next day. The latest great suggestion came from our first week guests this year: the kitchen overhead light was pale and flickering, and they had converted their home to LED. Armed with this I went to Home Depot and lo and behold, they had direct replacement plug-in LED 4 foot bulbs. No more flickering fluorescents! We have upgraded the Great room sofas and DR table this year and will supply updated photos hopefully this weekend. We completely replaced the electrical panel, a big step for safety. The pool connection got lost in the process so the past weeks have been crazy busy installing a new super-quiet pool pump and getting the pool ready.
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, one of the few houses in SB. In walking distance is SB Market with an excellent deli and amazingly extensive stock and Sandbrige Seaside Restaurant which consistent makes the top ten lists for Best of the Beach. Across the street is a Ben and Jerry's. 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.( If you need to rent any household items, call me first. I either already have it or will get it). Also on the way in on the left is Hell's Point Golf Club, one of the many public golf courses available in VB.
