About this house rental
Beach Bird is located in the low-traffic, family-friendly North end of Sandbridge, 500' from the beach.. We specialize on family and friend reunions and provide amenities for all ages including toddlers, 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, basketball for the driveway, and pickleball for the driveway or side yard. We have several portable practice putting greens which can be deployed inside or out. We have a 200 sq. ft. 2nd story deck in front and a 384 sq.ft 2nd story deck on the south side., with a 200 sq. ft. 3rd story deck for 2025. 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 can be solar-heated. For 2025 we will have a 3 story, 630 sq. ft. addition with three more bedrooms and another bath on first floor convenient to pool area..This will bring the total to 9 BR and 5 baths, and provide accommodations for 18+ in bedrooms so we can accommodate even larger families and friends groups...The other factor to consider in the number of guests is the seating for dining, and we are working on upgrading that as well.. We presently have a seven foot by three and a half foot DR table seating eight and seven bar stools for additional seating . We will either add a second table seating 8, or my first choice is a large five foot by twelve foot table seating 16, with a removable section for smaller groups. For 2025 the new three story 630 sq. ft. addition will be finally completed. The first floor pool room will have a full bath and triple bunk with queen lower. The second floor will have a queen bed in addition to the existing second floor queen bedroom. The third floor ( we got our ocean view back!) will have a queen futon and double futon. 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 king and queen bedrooms sharing a bath, a fifth bedroom with a queen lower, double upper bunk and with it's own full bath. The sixth bedroom has another queen lower, double upper bed. The rec room has a double futon and queen sofa bed with curtains for use with extra guests, and utility room with a double futon and sink. 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 be upgrading again to provide more seating and dining space.. 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 Sandbridge Seaside Restaurant which consistently makes the top ten lists for Best of the Beach. Across the street is a Ben and Jerry's, and zero's Subs. 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.

Easy access to beach and a very nice pool.
House was good and accommodated our entire family. We had a great time!

Prior emails with the owner led me to believe the addition would be finished. Overall appearance of the property inside and out was not as depicted as on website pictures. Dirty inside and out, Entire property was full of weeds, construction tacks found in the grass. Outside shower was disassembled and up against the fence along with other pieces of material. Extension cord coming out of the utility room window to power outside patio lights. Addition not finished. Utility room sink didn't work. All floors were sandy. Downstairs bedroom had no electricity or AC and gaping hole in the ceiling where ceiling tiles were missing. The owner agreed to fix this prior issue the next day which he did. This consisted of a wall AC unit plugged into an extension cord that ran under the door, outside the house and through the window of the utility room and plugged in the there. A lamp was plugged into the extension cord for light. The downstairs was very musty. The dehumidifier was emptied 3 times a day. Side rail of top bunkbed held together with rope. Missing woodwork, trim, and air vents. Baby gate at top of steps was secured to the railing with rope. Upstairs bedroom reduced in size due to the addition. Only 1 clothes closet in the entire 6 bedroom house located in MBR. This was so full of household items that you barely had any room for clothing. The owner did clean this out so we had more room. Downstairs bathroom hot water temperature was luke warm at best. Not a vacation.

Overall we had a wonderful time. The pool was very nice and there were plenty of outdoor toys. We never found the putting green that was mentioned.
I was not happy with the cleanliness of the kitchen. All of the cabinets needed a good scrubbing. Overall the place needed to be painted. I understand that the owner had contracted someone to work on an addition and the person never finished. We rented the place almost a year ahead and the owner probably should have made some accommodations for the fact that there was construction in process.

Family reunion from Maine, Arizona and Virginia Beach. There were 6 families, ages ranging from toddler to senior citizens. The location, ease in finding tne house, the pool, the beach and local attractions all made it a great place to stay. Bernard is an attentive and accomodating host. We all truly enjoyed ourselves.

OUR FAMILY HAD A GREAT TIME BUT THERE WERE SOME COMPLAINTS/OPPORTUNITIES WHICH I REVIEWED - ON SITE - WITH THE OWNER:
-OVERALL, THE HOUSE WAS NOT “RENTAL-READY”. The condition of the house and yard/patio was not what is shown in the VRBO pictures. I walked through the house and yard with the owner and suggested opportunities which he agreed were necessary. Opportunities to stop rain from leaking through air conditioning vents, remove non-smart TV’s that don’t sync to main circuit, up-grade children’s bunk beds, and providing professionally cleaned and installed linen ($200.00 up charge); Put sand in the beach volleyball pit - remove weeds; Basketball hoop and other advertised games also not in good condition - removal, or replacement would be a great opportunity. The living room was comfortable, but a new couch (without a plywood cushion) provides a significant opportunity. Lots of opportunities to increase attractiveness of the “gazebo” area too. This includes removal of old broken BBQ grill and other broken boards and old plastic furniture. He told me that he is in the process of fixing the air-conditioner support and making some of the other improvements that we discussed.
I understand from the owner that he did not have enough time to get the property in as ready a condition as usual, so I offered these suggestions. It may take some time to take advantage of these opportunities. I hope this report is helpful.

House was well stocked. The homeowner was accessible and nice to work with. The house needs to be upgraded but it didn’t stop us all from having a great week. The pool and sitting area was clean and stocked with pool toys-a lot of special family memories made this week

Bernard was the best host! So communicative in a timely manner and offered so much information, both about the property and the area. The house is so well stocked in the kitchen and other areas (towels, pool floats, beach chairs,etc). Although some of the equipment etc is getting pretty old, it was still usable and very appreciated. We have a group of 10 and the space was accommodating and we had a great time. Would stay again and more than happy to deal with Bernard!

The house was very dirty, despite the previous reviews. On the surface, it appears better at first. Upon closer inspection, one sees the dirt, hair, spider webs, garbage, etc. The upstairs couch needs replacing. We found an enormous dead cockroach. We don't recommend this place as is.

Great location
First and foremost the owner of this property is outstanding and was incredibly responsive. The pool was awesome and location was perfect, very short walk to the beach. The only issue was the property could have been cleaner but we spent most of our time at the beach or pool so it wasn’t a huge issue.

Beach Bird
We had a wonderful time in Sandbridge at the "Beach Bird" house. The house was well stocked and it seemed all our needs were anticipated. Our host, Bernard, made us feel very welcome and the pool was a special treat for all of us.
4.5
This was my family's first time in Sandbridge and we had a memorable week thanks to Bernard and Beach Bird. The house was spacious for the 8 of us and offered a great location to the beach and surroundings (especially those donuts everyone is talking about here).
The pool was awesome and offered us the chance to cool off after some hot days at the beach.
Bernard was extremely friendly and responsive, especially when we arrived after a long 11-hour drive and found the door was not locking properly. Without hesitation, he came over and installed a new deadbolt lock so we were secure throughout the week. He also came by mid-week to clean and check the pool.
The house is stocked for anything you would need and more - whether it was kitchen items, household items, beach/pool items. The beds were comfortable as well.
Thank you, Bernard, for everything!

The house met all of our needs. It is a quick walk to shops in Sand bridge and the beach. The pool is heated and a wonderful size with a covered seating area if you want a break from the sun. The owner is available and responsive if there are any questions.

Perfect beach holiday!
We wanted a holiday away from the crowds and were so lucky this property was available. The house was a short walk from the beach, and there were so few people there it was easy to socially distance. And the pool was perfect- salt water and solar heated to make it a comfortable temperature. The house is amazingly well stocked with everything you need indoors, for the pool and beach. Only one suggestion would be to add fly screens to the upstairs sliding doors, though appreciate potential hazard. Bernard is a fantastic host, extremely helpful and responsive. Highly recommend this property for vacations with kids.

I stayed here with my family in mid August. The location was perfect. Short walk to the beach and the store. The house has tons of chairs and umbrellas for the beach. The pool was the greatest part, it was a nice size. The main thing we didn’t like about the house was that is was not very clean. The floors were dirty. The grass had not been mowed around the pool and the owner was there till around 7 the first night getting things set up. There was a hurricane the week before so he had a lot of things to do around the house with that so we were understanding. The pictures listed a little outdated. The gazebo does not have lights around it. The linens were clean and there where tons of towels, beach and bath. The rooms were spacious. Owner supplied things like hand soap, paper towels, and toilet paper which was a nice plus. Overall it was nice just needs a good cleaning. It fit 10 of us comfortably.

Super accommodating host
I must agree with the other reviews singing the praises of Bernard, the host. He could not have been more accommodating and eager to please. And the location was great - such an easy walk to a vast beach. Our group of 8 family members, including 3 kids, was in need of a place to go for a social distancing vacation and the large, uncrowded beach and the private pool at the house provided the perfect setup. We enjoyed the pool when it was shaded during the mornings and late afternoon and the beach in between. We found enough beach umbrellas and sand toys to keep everyone happy. The upstairs deck is a great place to read a book as it is shaded in the afternoon. Thank you Bernard for sharing Beach Bird with us!

Great family stay
Our family had a great week stay at the house. Bernard was very helpful answering all of our questions before and during our stay. The rooms, kitchen and pool were clean. Only had a few minor problems with a few broken items and the rooms were slightly smaller than pictured. Otherwise it was a great, comfortable stay with everything we needed in good proximity to the beach!

Location was great!
Let me first say that the owner was very helpful, and quick to respond. Property had everything we needed and then some. Definitely go with the linen package - well worth it. Beach was incredible. Probably my favorite of all time. The game my thing I would mention is that it may be tough to sleep 19 unless a few of them were in cribs or pack and plays in a larger bed room. The basement was roomy for ping pong but we did not realize that the futon and couch were considered in the total bed count as they are right where the ping pong table is. Not a complaint - just informational There was plenty of beach gear stored all over the property for use along with every kitchen accessory you could want or need We had a fabulous week!
