Awesome family vacation

Perfect beach house setting for our family of 18. Plenty of sleeping and bathroom accommodations. Rooms for the kids to hang out in. Hot tub and pool right outside and beach just steps away. Never a crowed beach, which had a very private feel to it. We loved our stay.

Family/friend trip

The trip was great and the house is in the perfect spot. We did have ants but the owners got someone out to treat them right away. The upstairs air struggled to keep up with the high temps of the week but the bottom 2 floors were ice cold! We’d definitely visit again

The house is beautiful, perfectly located with all amenities necessary for a relaxing vacation!

This house is perfectly situated right on the beach so you can truly relax and enjoy the ocean breeze and view. I travel quite a bit and I have not been to any property I enjoyed more than Wish List. This house has every necessary amenity to keep every member of your family happy on vacation. Beyond the beautiful home, amenities and perfect ocean view, the homeowners are available, responsive, and gracious. I rate this house and vacation experience a 10 out of 10!

Great time at Wish List

There were 15 of us, 8 adults and 7 grandchildren age 9 to 16. The house was perfect for our vacation. Really enjoyed the pool, the hot tub and the pool table - something for everyone. Great being able to walk out to the uncrowned beach. Beds were comfortable. Linda was very quick to respond to our questions. We had a wonderful stay and would do it again.

Started out iffy but ended good.

When we arrived at the property it was a dirty mess, I contacted the owner and she sent the cleaning crew out the next morning and all was well. The location of the house is great, the beach in front of the house wasn’t too crowded and there was plenty of room in the house for the group of 16 that we had.

Great Beach View/Access, Tiring Stairs

The view of the ocean and quick access to the beach were wonderful. And the pool was nice. Large fans in each room were welcome. The kitchen was well-equipped, except for no ice cream scoop or pizza cutter. :-) Not so wonderful: access to the top/main floor is either via an inside spiral staircase or a long outdoor staircase. The internet connection performance was very spotty. The small fridge behind the bar froze our soda and beer. Possibly because the freezer door is missing? The first floor rooms were not very clean and looked to show damage from flooding in the past. Having a large condo property nearby cause the beach to be crowded. One footer for the stairs up to the hot tub is washed out, hanging in the air. I would recommend: 1) fix/replace small fridge, 2) improve the Internet connection, 3) clarify in the listing that bad knees will be tough and/or make the elevator available to guests, 4) rehab the rooms on the 1st floor, 5) fix the hot tub deck stairs footer. We had an enjoyable week at the beach with our family, but this property was not the best fit for our family.

Wonderful Family Home!

This home is exactly as it is pictured! It's an older home with a great unique layout. The rooms were spacious and gave us plenty of room for everyone. Our family of 14 enjoyed the views, the pool and had a wonderful time. The location is amazing - just far enough on Sandbridge to not feel overwhelmed with tourists. The other people using the beach were sparse and it was very private. Several days we went into Virginia Beach and it was a short drive to all sorts of attractions. The location was ultimate! The owner of the house gave us all of the info we needed to make our stay pleasant and Linda was very kind and easy to work with! We loved our week at the house!

Location was perfect. We had a fantastic time. Such decisions to be made...pool? hot tub?...ocean? ... Beach... shoot some pool? House size was perfect for us. We thought we would have 19 or 20 people but we only had 17 that could come. House is not new. If you only want new and shinny, this is not the place for you. I would go definitely go back.

Sandbridge Oceanfront Getaway!

We had a great time with extended family in this house and the house next door. There were plenty of beds and the hot tub was amazing. The house was clean and the owner very responsive. Ideally I would like to see the listing updated with some pix of the bunk room and new kitchen and floors - we were confused about what bathrooms would accommodate the bunk room when assigning beds. The VRBO listing should also be updated to include that linens are indeed provided as we scrambled to bring linens for each bed since we had family traveling from all over the US and abroad.. The owner was VERY friendly and responsive. We will definitely consider returning in the future. Thank you!

A relaxing vacation on the beach!

This house on the beach was perfect for my family. This was my family's first time staying on the beach. It made it so easy for everyone to go to the beach when they wanted and my parents could watch the beach from the house or come down if they felt up to it. The house has amazing views from the lower deck off of the master bedroom and upstairs balcony as well as from the living room. We watched the dolphins swim by at all times of the day. We loved the kitchen it was so nice to cook in and still be able to socialize with the family in the open plan of the living room and dining room off the kitchen. We enjoyed the pool table, puzzles, and board games, available in the house. The house has so much character! you can tell by all the pictures and other things on the wall that the owners are very good people and that they would be fun to get to know. My family and I highly recommend this unique beach house that truly embraces the originality of Sandbridge.

Family Vacation

Overall, great location, easy access to the beach and local restaurants within walking distance. Initially, upon arrival, the floors were still sandy and required additional vacuuming...which we did with the several vacuums in the house (more a reflection of the cleaning crew, but not unexpected at the beach and noted at several other properties we've visited). There were some ants, mainly in kitchen area (again common at the beach, resolved with a few ant traps). The house is large and plenty of sleeping space. Beds were comfortable. Nice game room with a pool table. The host was outstanding with timeliness of replies and attentiveness (broken dishwasher piece was replaced within 24 hours). Bathrooms were clean. Linens and towels were clean. Water pressure is a problem, with multiple showers running (bottom floor bathroom/washer running limits upstairs pressure). Internet is patchy modem resets necessary to reaquire signal strength. Works well otherwise (likely an issue with Cox cable and signal strength from ISP as the house wifi equipment is reasonable...ie google nest). Plenty of space for beverages with a large refrigerator in kitchen and multiple small units for drinks along with a separate wet bar off the side of the main room. Spiral staircase up to main level could be tricky, esp with luggage and people with mobility issues. Access to the elevatoray would have been useful with luggage. Overall, we had a great time, nice property and timely assistance from owners.

PopPop an Nana’s Dream Week

We had the best week! Couldn’t ask for a better location. A fenced yard with pool and a sand area was perfect for the kids, especially when the adults were not ready to go to the beach. When we were ready to go to the beach it was only steps away. The beach was not crowded and we didn’t have to fight for space. We saw dolphins every day, a few times a day. So much fun was had back and forth between the ocean, the pool, and the rec room! Kids and adults were definitely ready for bed each night. This house was perfect for our large family. We had our own suite. Each of our adult children had a room. And the grandchildren had the “dorm” room or slept in their parent’s room. We could retreat to our space or hang together in the common areas. The hosts have recently done many renovations/updates to the home. They could not have been more helpful with our questions. They were wonderful to work with leading up to our arrival and throughout the week. If you are looking for a beach vacation without the crowds, this is a perfect place to stay!

great location and beach, fair condition house, very responsive owner

The house 3 stars, the owners responsiveness and help was 5 stars. the house is old, the photos on the website kindda misleading, the cleaning was not great, and we were unlucky as there was mosquitos all over the area that month (or season!). again the house is old, so sometimes no matter how well you clean it, the carpet and bathrooms will still "look" not clean. one of the AC units were broken, told Linda and she sent HVAC service within an hour, and they fixed it. also she sent the cleaning lady, power wash and the pool guy the minute we asked for. The beds were comfortable which is an important thing for me. overall, we enjoyed the stay, great access to the beach, loved the outdoor space, specially the sand area next to the pool, the kids did not need to go to the beach to play in the sand, they kept going from the pool to the sand while we are sitting/BBQing in the same place! we did have so much fun.

Memorably unsettling experience

I have literally never left a negative review anywhere. I have always felt that everyone should have the opportunity to right a wrong - or to hear feedback personally so they can move forth with that information. The "I would want to know" mantra. Well this experience was beyond the pale & I am thusly compelled to share so that others have the information they need should they wish, or not to wish, to stay at "Wish List." There were issues. The house was difficult to decipher from the photos, which is fine. That happens. It's an odd property with no flow. No big deal. But we quickly noticed it was also not very clean and a bed in the "Kid Zone" was broken. Other things happened - it's too long a list for here. But in addition to some dilapidating house issues, cleanliness issues, a trash can that had not been emptied with maggots in it by the pool... we also had no hot water for a few days - and the pool shocked our children (apparently, "this happens"). When we returned home we received a message from Joe & Linda telling us we would not be receiving our security deposit because the kitchen was a mess and they found a marijuana pipe on one of the decks. Well, I read those house instructions from cover to cover. Take out the trash, take out the trash cans, make sure furniture and blankets are where they are supposed to be, check, check, check. Dishes? Nothing about dishes in there. Oh, my elderly father has a prescription for medical marijuana to assuage a litany of health issues. Also, marijuana is legal in the state of Virginia, as is alcohol. And it was outside. Our mistake, however, to have left anything behind. Security deposits are withheld for, and I quote, DAMAGE to the property - of which we caused none. When I said as much to Joe and Linda, I received this response: ""This is typical after I have to hold a security deposit. Always exaggerated and never reported even when you reported the trash can and it was taken care of immediately and the lollipop and soda can “not being a hill of beans problem” You will just cause me to explain your situation so that others won’t miss a vacation because of your exaggerated complaints after the fact I also have pictures of how you chose to leave the house. I will not be returning your drug paraphernalia but I do have pictures of what you left I hope another VRBO owner never has to deal with you" And there you have it, folks.

Family Friendly on the Beach

You can’t beat the location! This was our first time to rent a home on the beach and it was awesome— so convenient for all the family ( ranging from an infant to senior citizens). The house was spacious and accommodating. The kids loved the game room and the bedroom below it as well. The pool was a great way to cool off. The newly remodeled kitchen was well done. The nearby bar area worked well for our family as we used it as a separate food prep area for family members who need to be gluten- free. My only criticism was the housekeeping. We arrived to very sandy floors and dirt and sand in other spots. But communication with the owner had the cleaners return that same day. Also when we requested power washing for the porches the response was quick. There are some odds and ends that need repairs but they do not affect the overall experience of a lovely vacation at Sandbridge.

We enjoyed the house but the house should have been more clean being we were the first people to rent for the season. The new flooring throughout the house and new kitchen were nice. Some other minor updates need made but overall we enjoyed our time there.

About the host

Hosted by Linda Keppler

Host profile image
We vacationed often in Virginia Beach and loved the secluded beach areas of Sandbridge. We loved watching the dolphins play in the summer and the whales in the fall and winter. Our Black Lab loves to run the beach. Once our son graduated from college we decided to purchase a 2nd vacation home. We love it here.

Why they chose this property

We bought this house because it was ocean front, no carrying blankets and coolers or leaving the beach for bathrooms everything is located where you don't have to pack up and leave with the kids! Nap time, no problem you have the decks and the house behind you!
We wanted to share this house with our family and friends all year long and we have since 2000! It's an older home, updated and maintained every year. Our family loves it here. If you want to relax and enjoy the beach and pool this is the place.

What makes this property unique

Adding the pool Oceanside only increased the pleasure of living in this beautiful setting. Long walks on the beach and leisurely dinners on the oceanfront only added to our enjoyment of the property.
