Couldn’t ask for more out of the “Surf Shack”! Had everything we needed there minus food and that was just a short drive away to some of the best fresh seafood have had in a while. Son, I think stayed on dock fishing the whole time. In short, excellent place in fabulous location. Will return.

It was a beautiful RV in a RV resort, just as the pictures described. So many amenities adding to our comfort. The girls loved fishing off the docks and kayaking. Swimming pool and Beach was very close. The sunset was breathtaking observed from a lovely deck. Susan was prompt in her answers and quick to give details of local points of interest. We were thrilled with the whole experience.

Beautiful location. The pool is a 2 min walk and was clean easy to access. The DVD player is broken but the roku box worked. Plenty of bedding and kitchen supplies. Beach access is very close and you can either walk or drive. All day parking at the beach was very inexpensive compared to most places. "on-site" hostess was helpful, kind, and easy to get a hold of with questions.

Stunning view of Back Bay and a quiet neighborhood made it easy to relax. If you enjoy taking pictures, this is a great place to stay. Wildlife in the early mornings, afternoons and beautiful sunsets in the evenings. Also, it’s a quick walk to the beach and a couple of restaurants. It was cooler when we went, so we used the pickleball courts more than the swimming pools. Triple bunks were not meant for my taller teenagers, but the pullout/futon couch worked great for them. Susan was super easy to work with. Would definitely book again.

We had a wonderful stay! Susan answered our questions before we traveled and communicated how to access the property. Check-in was easy. Unit was clean and just like the photos. Bedding and towels were provided. Unit had WiFi. We enjoyed gorgeous sunsets from the deck each evening. Watched the wildlife each morning. The covered deck kept us dry during an afternoon rain. The walk to the beach was longer than we could do, but it was a short drive to a beach access. Would highly recommend for a couple or small family.

Graduation Vacation

Beautiful views, amazing sunsets, plenty of water front activities. In the mornings we watched the osprey and heron fishing and in the evenings the otters playing off the docks. An easy 15 minute walk to the oceanfront. A beautiful quiet location to hang out or have easy access to all of the amenities in Virginia Beach.

Beautiful View

Our most favorite part of this cute cottage is sitting on the covered porch watching the breathtaking sunsets. Enjoyed taking the kayaks out that were furnished directly from our dock then rinsing off with the outdoor shower. The cottage had ample room for 2 adults and 2 teenagers. The pool was right across the street which was super convenient. The locals were very friendly. We will definitely be back again for vacation.

Location, location, location

We enjoyed this space during our stay. The porch is the perfect spot to stay cool & eat meals. We enjoyed fishing off the back dock and the sunsets over the canal. We even got to witness an amazing lightening storm at night over the water - beautiful! This property has a lot of amenities as compared to other VRBOS I have stayed. From spices, coffee, oils, laundry soap, baggies, beach chairs, sand toys, boogie boards, etc. The location was perfect in proximity to the beach. We drove to the front parking area each day and parked from there it was a 2 minute walk to the sand on the beach. We appreciated the closeness having brought little kids. If you choose this place knowing it will be similar to camping you will be happy. The outdoor shower was so convenient for helping keep sand out of the living areas and made the chore of cleaning children after the beach so much easier. The community was safe and everyone was kind that we had any interaction with. We cannot comment on the pool because we did not use it. Sandbridge was a wonderful little beach town to experience!

Good views, smaller property, issues not resolved.

Very nice location, and it is a nice property, but it is a little small. Pool nearby, beach is pretty close as well. Great views. The biggest issue was a problem with the TV in the kids' room. Contacted the property owner, or whoever was taking care of it. Was told multiple times that someone would be out to fix it.. never happened.. this is after letting them know multiple tines the first few days there.. nothing was ever fixed.
