While good weather, fun in the sun, and delicious eats are all part of a wonderful experience; your Sandbridge stay is so much more than that. It the foundation for family memories.

People come to the beach for different reasons. Perhaps it is the first time on a vacation or it is a yearly traditional.

Thanksgiving Holiday Vacation at Sandbridge Beach

Local Events, Sandbridge byMaggie

Thankgiving is known as most of the most highly traveled Holidays in the United States. Why not hit the road for a holiday where you can take “Thankful” to a new level? Come to Sandbridge Beach!

Here are just a few perks of a Thanksgiving holiday vacation at the beach:

Fully furnished kitchens! We know that cooking and eating together are deeply rooted in family traditions. You can still make mom’s famous stuffing and your aunt’s fall casserole in an amazing kitchen, while adding on to these cherished memories with the most amazing views and settings. Spend time while the turkey’s roasting with a long walk on the beach.
Add to the menu! Smithfield hams and roasted oysters might as well be local staples on the holiday dinner tables here. Join in this coastal Virginia tradition and add more flavors to the menu. It’s also Rockfish season! These stripers make for fun fishing and delicious eating.
Private indoor entertainment (theater and game rooms)! So many of the rentals come with various places to gather around to watch your favorite show, beyond a comfortable family room! Spend quality time with billards, ping pong, kayaking or more!
Intimate breathing room! You read that right! Families can gather under one roof to celebrate the holiday, while still having even room to kick back, relax and breathe.
Activities for everyone! Sandbridge Beach and the surrounding area provide an abundance of activities. Hikes through Back Bay Wildlife Refuge, go to the movie theaters (the closest one at Redmill has reclining seats), visit Hunt Club Farms, shop at Norfolk Premier Outlets, and more!

Why not get the best of both worlds?! The cherished traditions of your family’s Thanksgiving and a memorable beach vacation. Check out available holiday vacation rentals here.

The Family that Travels Together…

Sandbridge, Vacation Rentals byMaggie

…Plays together AND sents a trend!

Pauline Frommer, with frommer.com, predicts that “Three generations traveling together isn’t new, but it’s becoming far more common than ever before. “We’ve seen a 20% jump in the last year in requests for multi-generational vacations,” says Osborne. Elizabeth Blount McCormick of Uniglobe Travel Designers is just one of many in the industry who concurs: “Multigenerational travel will continue to grow,” she says. “We’ve seen a number of grandparents taking their entire families on extensive trips.””

According to familyvacationcritic.com, some of the reasons vacation rentals are ideal for multi-generational travel include:

Dining areas that accommodate families
Rentals allow for a wider variety of activity planning, since the rental itself is inviting should one choose to relax inside.
Pricing is more reasonable
The space that bedrooms and suites provide while still fostering a sense of community

Sandbridge is the perfect place for family travel! Vacation rentals meet the needs of family with fully furnished accommodations that include enough room to spread out and enjoy the vacation. There are activities for everyone including indoor and outdoor fun. Check out the “advanced search” section of our site if you are looking for specifics.

Sandbridge Welcomes Your Fur Babies

Vacation Rentals bydarrius

Your Pet Deserves A Vacation Too!

Pets are welcome to vacation in Virginia Beach all year long! Why leave your precious fur baby behind when heading to your family getaway? Your pet deserves a beach vacation too! Siebert Realty has over 65 fully furnished Sandbridge vacation rentals that warmly welcomes your pets.

A record 68% of American households now own a pet. Most, by far, are dogs and cats, who are now traveling more often with their human companions. That’s why an increasing number of vacation rentals don’t just accept pets, they downright cater to them – usually for a fee that goes toward deep-cleaning.

The entire family is welcome to vacation in Virginia Beach and that includes Fido and Whiskers too! Whether it’s romping on our 35-miles of sandy beaches, taking a doggy-paddle in the ocean or playing a little game of fetch in our off-leash dog parks, you and your four-legged companion can experience “a dog’s life” at the beach!

Pets allowed on the Beach:
During the Winter, Spring and Fall months (before Memorial Day and after Labor Day weekend) dogs are invited to enjoy the public beaches and boardwalk area anytime (on leash). However, during the Summer months, (Friday before Memorial Day through Labor Day weekend) pets are limited to frolic on the north end of Virginia Beach above 42nd Street and the south end of Virginia Beach in the Sandbridge area before 10am and after 6pm (on leash). During the Summer season, dogs are also allowed on the boardwalk from 6am to 10am only.

Luckily, the question of where to find pet-friendly beaches is much easier. Coastal communities such as Sandbridge Beach realize it’s a “win-win” as long as the human half of the equation does their homework. That means making sure their license and vaccinations are up to date, observing leash laws and, it should go without saying but we’ll say it anyway, scooping the poop. 🙂 If you and your 4-legged buddies are traveling to a beach away from home, it’s also a good idea to attach your vacation address and contact info to their collar.

Ready to plan a fun getaway with your fur babies? Check out the over 65 Sandbridge vacation rentals that warmly welcome pets to the beach: http://bit.ly/2hfAFT0Read More
