5 Benefits Of Booking A Vacation Rental Over A Traditional Hotel

When it comes to finding the perfect place to vacation (like Sandbridge or Virginia Beach, VA), the first step is finding the perfect place to stay! Vacation rentals offer a unique experience that can make your trip more enjoyable and memorable. As a professional vacation rental company, we’ll explain five key benefits of booking a vacation rental over a traditional hotel.

Better Value

When you compare what you get when booking a regular hotel room versus a vacation rental it all comes down to value. Vacation rentals often have full kitchens, laundry rooms, plenty of space, outdoor areas, and more that make it a better value. 

A great way to save money on vacation rentals is to book during the off-season. Here at Siebert Realty we offer lower rates during the slower months, which can be an excellent opportunity to save money while still enjoying all the benefits of a vacation rental! 

More Space

One of the biggest advantages of vacation rentals is the space they offer. Unlike hotels, which usually provide only one or two rooms, vacation rentals can have multiple bedrooms, bathrooms, and living areas. This is especially beneficial for families or groups of friends who want to spend time together but also value their privacy. Additionally, vacation rentals often have outdoor spaces such as patios or balconies, providing even more room to relax and enjoy the surroundings.

When planning an event like a wedding party or family reunion, having enough space is crucial. Traditional hotel rooms can feel less intimate when compared to renting a vacation rental. However, vacation rentals offer both the space and privacy necessary for these types of events. With more living space, a kitchen, extra bedrooms, and more, vacation rentals are the ideal choice when planning a special event or celebration.
PRO TIP: When booking a family reunion, wedding, or large group vacation call and speak to one of our reservationists. Inquire if two or three smaller homes are located next to each other. Having two homes next door to each other adds more space to utilize and more privacy for everyone.

Unique and Personalized Experiences

Vacation rentals come in all shapes and sizes, from cozy condos to luxurious beachfront villas. Each rental has its unique charm and personality, making your vacation feel more special and personalized. Whether you’re looking for an oceanfront beach house or a cozy condo to call home for a long weekend, a vacation rental can meet your needs.
Not only do you get a unique experience, but as a local vacation rental company, we can provide local recommendations to help personalize your stay. We also offer unmatched guest support in case you experience any issues during your stay. 

Do As The Locals Do

Hotels are often located in busy touristy areas, which can be convenient but can also limit your exposure to local neighborhoods and culture. On the other hand, vacation rentals are usually found in residential areas, offering a more desirable destination experience out of the hustle and bustle. You can explore local shops, restaurants, and attractions you might not have discovered otherwise. Staying in a vacation rental also allows you to experience the destination at your own pace. You can wake up, cook meals, and explore the area on your schedule. 

Amenities 

Vacation rentals often come with a variety of amenities that can enhance your stay. Some rentals have pools, hot tubs, or other recreational facilities; others have access to private beaches or hiking trails. Here at Siebert Realty, you can filter our Sandbridge Beach vacation rentals by amenities like oceanfront, boat docks, private pools, hot tubs and many more! 

Booking a vacation rental can offer a unique and enjoyable experience for travelers. From increased space and privacy to personalized experiences, the benefits of vacation rentals are numerous.

Pet of the Month: March

Pet of the Month

This month, we’ve decided to introduce you to a four-legged fan of Sandbridge who spends his time strolling the beach. Remember: if you have a beach-loving pet, please share your pictures with us and tell us about your furry pal’s love for Sandbridge. They may be featured in a future Pet of the Month post!

Meet Prince J: March’s Pet of the Month!

Prince J is a Jack Russell terrier from right here in Virginia Beach. He is a little over 16 years old! Prince J loves Sandbridge naps and hanging out on the screened porch during his downtime. He also enjoys hanging out with his buddies Stella, Duncan, and Lily!

Prince J’s favorite beach activity is hunting for crabs in the sand…living up to the Jack Russell name! But when he takes a break from searching for crabs, peaceful sunrise walks with the family are some of the best Sandbridge memories for Prince J.

Siebert Realty offers numerous pet-friendly rentals for those wishing to make beach memories with their furry pals. Visit the link below to find your next dream vacation home now!

The Sand Palette

Don’t you wish you could just pack up one of our vibrant Sandbridge sunsets and take it home with you at the end of your vacation? Now you can!

The Sand Palette is a Sandbridge-exclusive experience that helps you capture the natural beauty of our beloved beach town by bringing the art studio right to you. While photographs of sunsets and dolphins playing in the wave are great, there is something amazing and incomparable about freezing a moment through art.

Each session is led by a local artist. There is no experience necessary! Painters of all skill levels are invited to join in on the fun—all you need is a good attitude and a desire to create art while having fun with your friends and family. The Sand Palette artist will come to your rental property with all the necessary art supplies and provide instructions on the chosen design. No need to stick straight to the script though—all painters are encouraged to follow their own art spark and take as many creative liberties as their hearts desire!

All of the painting designs are based on some of your favorite and iconic Sandbridge spots. From the beach to the bay, The Sand Palette is here to preserve your vacation memories in an incredibly special way. If guests have an idea for a custom design, the possibility of adding it to the list of chosen artworks can be discussed through email.

To book a session, contact The Sand Palette through email (thesandpalette@gmail.com) with your availability. For summer visitors—those arriving in May and beyond—booking will open in April. The pricing of a session depends on the party size, and the price includes all art supplies and instruction:

Less than 5 people: $25 per person

5 to 10 people: $22 per person

11 to 20 people: $20 per person

Food and drink are not provided during the session, but The Sand Palette highly suggests all prospective artists grab their favorite drinks and snacks for the event. What’s a painting party without some good food and a cocktail or two?

Now is your chance to hang on to your Sandbridge vacation forever—book a session with The Sand Palette and create beautiful art and unforgettable memories with the entire family!

RESCUE Exhibit

The Virginia Aquarium & Marine Science Center

Do you have what it takes to be a hero? The Virginia Aquarium & Marine Science Center’s latest exhibition, RESCUE, allows guests to experience and react to high-pressure, rescue-based scenarios in land, sea, and air rescues. The new exhibit is part of the Aquarium’s changing exhibits gallery which showcases new exhibitions seasonally. RESCUE is included in general admission to the Virginia Aquarium and will be on display from September 19, 2022 to January 10, 2023.

Created by the renowned Scitech in Perth, Australia and produced by Imagine Exhibitions, guests can learn how rescue technology works and the skills and experience needed to be a rescuer. Take control of a full-size helicopter simulator to get a bird’s eye view of a rescue scene and use infrared cameras to look for heat signals. Navigate a jet ski around obstacles while searching for a swimmer washed out to sea, experience what it is like to traverse through a smoke-filled room and use the correct fire extinguisher to put out different fires. Interactive exhibits will also educate guests about medicine, search techniques, radio communication, rescue supplies and equipment such as the Jaws of Life.

Tom Zaller, CEO of Imagine Exhibitions shared, “Imagine Exhibitions is proud to partner with Scitech to bring RESCUE to the Virginia Aquarium. Who didn’t dream of becoming a police officer or firefighter as a child? At RESCUE, now the whole family can learn more about what it takes to be a first responder, and maybe visitors of all ages will be inspired to make that childhood dream a reality!”

RESCUE will be open daily to the public from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. until January 10, 2023. General admission tickets are available to purchase on the Virginia Aquarium’s website.  Click the link below to see an awesome Instagram tour of the exhibit!
