Roomy!
This house worked great for us! We cooked most meals and the kitchen was fabulous. Most of the beds were comfy. We felt welcomed and the beach is right at the back door! We would stay again!

Great kitchen, shoddy indoor steps
The house was very well stocked and comfortable; it had three bathrooms- two upstairs and one downstairs- only one tub. The indoor steps were the biggest concern, as other reviewers noted- one of the stairs was repaired, but poorly done, so the very edge was uneven. We had one member of our group fall. The hot tub and pool area was great- it was secured in a way that made it feel safe for kiddos, and the living area was super comfortable. The location was great- a dune was right off the porch so the one picture that makes it look like you could step off the porch and take four steps to the water is a little deceptive. We were there over a storm and one of the downstairs bedrooms had a pretty significant leak for a day but the rental company was responsive. Overall it was a positive stay and we were happy with the house, barring those stairs. Honestly, even just some hot pink tape to alert folks to the danger zones would’ve changed our experience with that particular issue.

Multiple issues / location only thing great
The ground floor had a strong mildew/mold smell and there were a lot of bugs inside. Some of the walls upstairs were warped and soft and half of the people on our trip got sick for 2 days - not sure if it's related to the issues above. The first morning we cooked bacon in the oven which locked up and no one (including maintenance employee) could get the oven door open. It's a very old home and you can tell. The deck is splintering across the entire surface - not good for anyone especially young kids. The location is great and is what made this place somewhat ok for our stay.

Family Vacation
Loved the house and area, and being directly on the beach. But, will not return to Sandbridge. I am accustomed to SC and Florida beaches. Sandbridge beaches sand, too soft, deep and 85 and above temps, too hot to walk.

Great stay!
Nice house and great location....a few suggestions ....the bottom step is a hazard...each person almost fell off of it....recommend a sign or rug so people see the drop off, pool deck needs repair and paint, the current shades throughout the house do not provide any privacy...especially the master bath...can see in from the deck, the screened porch has no screen.

Family Fun
Our family enjoyed the time we spent at the house. It was comfortable and spacious enough to feel together but not crowded. The kitchen was well stocked, WIFI, pool and hottub and amenities were easily accessible. Minor issues such as a previously broken lamp, blocked bathroom sink and insecure storm door were reported. All over a wonderful property.

Sandbridge, VA Beach Vacation
We had not visited Sandbridge, VA since 1970 and we could kick ourselves for all the years we travelled to Myrtle Beach, SC when Sandbridge only took 4 hours to spend our fabulous oceanfront beach vacation. Our rental was very well equipped, especially the kitchen, clean and wonderful outdoor decks. It made it especially great since the cottage was dog friendly and we could bring our beloved English Spring Spaniel who loved the beach. Sandbridge is such a great location, since they don't allow all the commercialism of hotels and condos, just wonderful beach houses & glorious beach. Our only complaint was a 9:00 AM checkout instead of the posted 10:00 AM. We will definitely rent again if it stays dog friendly!

Barking Sands
The property was in excellent condition and was very spacious for me and my family. The pool was the perfect size for all of us to be in it, as well as, for the young kids to be wild and have fun without being able to splash anyone enjoying the sun or reading a book. Location was an easy walk to the beach and a beautiful view of the ocean. Each family member had a spacious bedroom. The couches were very comfortable. The only extremely minor suggestion would be a bigger trash can in the upstairs kitchen. This is where we spent most of our time and due to the size of our family, we had to change the trash bag after every meal and sometimes during meals.

Okay stay
we had issues with the WiFi all week. We tried getting someone to fix it, but they did not get it resolved. The front door was leaking water under the door when it stormed. We had kids slipping on the water. The location was good.
