    View from our porch
    Tito K.

    We had a really good week staying in a condo here. We had an ocean view condo. The ocean side would be the ones we would stay in if we would come back. The rooms were pretty spacious and comfortably fit 4 adults and 4 kids. There is a decent little porch space. There are 3 pools on the resort. Each is different and have advantages to going to each. The main pool has a swim up bar.

    My family and I just traveled from the Midwest only to find the two condos (Grace Abounds and Flip Flop Haven) we rented out completely filthy. One of them hadn't been cleaned from the prior guests (dirty laundry on the floor, poop in the toilet, etc). And the front office said a cleaning service would be out to handle it in 20 minutes on Saturday evening. No one ever showed and my family had to cram into one of the condos for the night and even that one we had to thoroughly clean (and the baby's' feet were completely black from walking around inside). The next morning we called (for the 4th time) asking about the status of the other condo as we had more family coming into town and all the 3rd party staff could tell us was that a request had been put in...Two of my family members went to the other condo to just start cleaning since we had no other choice and halfway through, a cleaning lady from North Carolina showed up. She was super nice and helped us (and we tipped her bc she was the only help we received) but overall we are extremely disappointed that the first 24 hours of our (paid) vacation has been spent cleaning and trying to talk to management on the phone. We would've stayed at a hotel had we known how ridiculous this would be.

    Sanctuary at False Cape is located on the Atlantic and borders a wildlife refuge and state park that extends south past the northern border of North Carolina. There are at least 3 pools at the sanctuary, all with slightly different themes but remember that you're just a few steps away from the salty ocean waves and white sandy beach. Overall, it's one of the more relaxing beach areas since it does border a state park. There is plenty of room on the beach without feeling crowded. Definitely 5 stars.

    Ok. So Sandbridge is our vacation spot for 5 years now. Each time we have stayed in other condos. We tried Sanctuary this year. Place is confusing. Very pretty and large. Many rooms to choose from. We were in building B110 Oceanfront. Parking was nice bc we use a Tule for I top of our vehicle. We didn't have to go under building and was able to find covered parking that accommodated us. Property is nice. Our condo was very nice but far from our car. If we did park underneath in garage it wouldn't have been that bad. We were one door away from elevator. But from elevator no direct access to beach. We only knew of 2 pools. One was outside our room. Nice size. People distanced. But some families just sat on chairs while their kids jumped in the pool and splashed everyone. Now I know everyone pays for vacation and they can have fun but when there is 30 people in pool (maximin 37) you should have consideration for others. No one controlled them. The other pool, we found was never opened. It did have a swim up bar but VERY tiny. Picture on advertisement did not represent. The bar needed a cleaning and update. The beach was very close but packed! Bigger facility, more people. A lot of families, young kids. 5 life guards. Our condo was ok. They had the bare minimum. Someone left milk, cottage cheese and sweet potatoes in fridge. The dishwasher wasn't emptied. Little different than I expected. The porch had millions of bugs on the wall. And old furniture probably from the beach wear and tear. Also there are red lights on porch. I guess to keep bugs away? When we were on the porch someone above us emptied there cooler filled of water. All landed on our porch. WiFi SUCKED. We couldn't call our family if we were waiting by the car and they were in condo. Some people played music late into the night after 11. We don't think we will be staying here again. Though any place you stay in Sandbridge is amazing bc of the place. Just that with the Sanctuary we weren't prepared for how big it was and how crowed.

    I lived in Virginia Beach for right at two years and my condo was two blocks from Virginia Beach…read more There are a lot of activities on the beach year round and I enjoyed many of them! My favorite was the "Neptune Festival" which was around Labor Day and signified the locals "taking the beach back" from the tourists! I do like the Neptune statue on the beach! I took some free yoga classed offered on the beach, enjoyed watching professional sand sculpture competitions, professional beach volleyball tournaments, and much more! I could have sworn the boardwalk was wooden back then. Regardless if it was wooden or concrete, the boardwalk would open for vehicles every Christmas to enjoy the Christmas lights on the beach! That was always a fun time and Virginia Beach does a great job with this lighting display! It's a must see! We enjoyed rollerblading, bike riding, jogging, and walking along the beach and boardwalk. Why no fifth star? The Atlantic water is ice cold! I did enjoy the beach itself, despite the sand not being as brightly white colored as I'm accustomed to at Orange Beach, Alabama. However, I did not enjoy the ice cold water! Also, during peak tourist season, the beach gets super crowded!

    The parking situation here is absolutely horrible. The signs clearly say parking is free, but if…read moreyou go to the aquarium, they end up putting a huge parking ticket on your car. It feels completely unfair and misleading. This honestly seems like a scam to trick people into getting parking tickets. Be very careful if you decide to come here and make sure you fully understand the parking rules before leaving your car.

    Is it too early for a beach review? Nah, we need something to look forward to this Winter…read more Sandbridge Beach is a favorite and it's been probably two years since the last time I visited. Parking is plentiful and free. The City of Virginia Beach operates the beach and its guards. The beach is clean and wide. It's not as busy as the VBOF either. For surfing it's better than others with currents. Also a plus is its proximity to Back Bay Park. A drawback is that they do not have an infrastructure built up, but many consider this a plus since it's so natural. You can find a food truck on the road in for tacos named Bandino's. Come out and enjoy with warmer weather in the Spring. It's a family friendly beach, so bring the family and dog too! There are so many reasons why Virginia Beach residents feel as though they live in paradise. Our beaches point blank rock and few would dispute that the city knows how to take excellent care of them for our tourist and locals alike.

    I almost don't want to review this beach so it stays under the radar. As a local, this is the best…read morespot to enjoy the beach. Its a little more crowded than it was several years ago & has been built up a little, but it still holds onto its low key beach vibes and 'quieter' more chill environment compared to the ocean front. I greatly enjoy how easy it is to park & walk to the beach. Absolutely love doing shore clean ups here.

    Neptune's Park is a must-visit if you're in Virginia Beach. That giant bronze statue of King…read moreNeptune? It's basically the Eiffel Tower or Big Ben of the Oceanfront; towering, iconic, and perfect for photos. I got an amazing pic there with my little brother that I'll always treasure. The park itself is a chill, grassy space right off the boardwalk, often buzzing with live music and people just soaking up the vibe. It's the perfect spot to relax after a stroll or while waiting for the next show to start, there's also beach access not too far from the park if you want to feel the sand in-between your toes, soak up the sun, or hop in the Atlantic Ocean. Surrounding the park is a whole world of things to do; plenty of places to eat, drink, and shop within walking distance. Whether you're in the mood for seafood, a cocktail, or something sweet, it's all right there. Great views, good energy, and that unforgettable Neptune statue this spot is a Coastal Virgina staple for tourists and locals alike.

There was even the Food Network doing a special! The only downfall was that the space was crowded! I definitely believe they should move it to a larger park either in VB or Norfolk. The winner was Tempt! 100000/10 recommend.
