FALL... is a great time to visit Sandbridge!

Roma nce is in the Air
Sandbridge is definitely "the" destination for romance! Our secluded beach offers the perfect setting for a quiet getaway with that someone special. It's also great for beach weddings, honeymoons, and anniversary celebrations. Some rentals boast whirling spas and jetted tubs, heated indoor pools, and glowing fireplaces for that perfect ambience!

Fishing and Golfing Getaways Guys - grab your best buddies for a weekend of fishing or golfing. There are tons of boat charters from which to choose and Virginia Beach fishing in the fall is "prime time" for the best fishing around! If you're more of a landlubber... plan a golf getaway and visit the many top-designed courses in the area. As an added bonus, Siebert Realty offers complimentary discounts at nearby Hell’s Point Golf Course.

Girlfriend Getaways
Ladies - what could be better than a weekend away with your best friends? Consider a "theme" trip such as a weekend of scrap booking, quilting, card games, or whatever. In need of a little pampering? There are plenty of local nail and hair salons, massage therapy centers, shopping malls, and boutiques in the Sandbridge area. Of course, there's nothing better than just hanging out at the beach for a peaceful respite in the company of good friends.

Family Holiday Reunions
The holidays at Sandbridge Beach are absolutely magical! Reserve one of our larger rental units that can accommodate the entire family (up to 30 people)! Imagine how memorable a holiday gathering would be with the enchanting Atlantic Ocean as your backdrop. Many homes also offer indoor heated pools, so you could even plan a reunion around a tropical theme - the kids would love it! Be sure to reserve early as larger homes tend to book quickly.

Hope to see you at the beach this fall!

Take a Ride on

“The Blue Goose Express”
Operated by Back Bay Restoration Foundation, during spring, summer and fall, the "Blue Goose Express" departs at 9:00 A.M. and takes roughly one hour to reach the contact station in False Cape. While passing through the refuge, passengers are likely to see a variety of wildlife, which many BBRF tram drivers can help identify including: ducks, geese, swans, nutria, white-tailed deer, rabbits, foxes, turtles, snakes, ospreys, egrets and great blue herons. Once in False Cape, passengers have two hours to hike west to Back Bay, east to the beach and Atlantic Ocean, or south to Wash Woods. Anywhere is great for a picnic. In False Cape State Park, the passengers will be greeted by a ranger or volunteer who will mention the assets of the park including: historical sites, and wildlife such as those seen in the refuge, feral horses and feral pigs. The tram returns to Back Bay National Wildlife Refuge at approximately 1:00 P.M. For tram and fee info call 757-301- 7329 or visit their website at: Back Bay Fun

Sandbridge Beach - Ranked in TOP 10 U.S. Secluded Beaches

2011-07-30T12:52:00.000-05:00

THE SECRET IS OUT! According to an article by Sherman Travel posted on YAHOO Travel, Sandbridge Beach is now ranked in the TOP 10 U.S. Secluded Beaches. To read the article in its entirety, go to: http://travel.yahoo.com/p-interests-35060646 .

Known as the "Outer Banks of Virginia", Sandbridge Beach is a quaint seaside village perfect for a slow paced, relaxing vacation. Sandbridge means no deadlines, no traffic, no worries, and no shoes. Just a peaceful retreat where time slows down. A place where dolphin pods and lines of pelicans are an everyday occurrence. Where neighbors wave to strangers, children learn to surf, chase sandpipers, and build sandcastles. A place where the living is easy and everyday pressure wash away with the changing tide. It's no surprise this coastal oasis received this recognition. "Secluded" is synonymous with Sandbridge.

Locals will tell you Sandbridge is more of a "feeling" than a place. It's about enjoying life, family bonds, sandy toes, and the wonders of nature. Although it has grown over the years, the true essence and seclusion has remained the same. It's nice to know some things never change.

Need a place to stay? Siebert Realty - The Beach People, established in 1962, offers over 400 fully furnished beach home and condo rentals (2-13 Bedrooms / Sleeping 6-30). With such a wide selection, you can rest assured that Siebert Realty has the perfect vacation rental waiting for you.

Sandbridge Beach - Virginia Beach, VA - The Outer Banks of Virginia

2009-06-15T12:32:00.000-05:00

Sandbridge Beach is a quiet coastal retreat perfect for a relaxing, slow paced vacation. At Sandbridge, there are no worries, no deadlines, no traffic, no shoes. Just a peaceful place where dolphin pods and lines of pelicans are an everyday occurrence. A place where neighbors wave to strangers, children play in the surf, chase sandpipers, and build sandcastles until the sun goes down. It's a place where the everyday pressures of life wash away with the changing tide.

Sandbridge is known to many as the "Outer Banks of Virginia" since it is a barrier island with the Atlantic Ocean to the east, and the Back Bay waters to the west. Our beach community is very peaceful and secluded and is not commericalized like the busy resort area to the north. We have beach homes (and now some condos) with just a sprinkling of small shops and eateries to make your stay more comfortable. After all these years, Sandbridge has changed very little. Family togetherness, the wonders of nature, and the majesty of the great Atantic all coming together in perfect harmony.

Siebert Realty offers over 400 fabulous fully furnished Beach Home and Condo Rentals. Visit http://www.siebert-realty.com/ to search up-to-date availability, view descriptions, interior photos and floorplans, and you can even book and pay online.

Sandbridge - The Perfect Golf Destination!

2009-01-07T16:07:00.007-05:00

Sandbridge... the Perfect Golf Destination!

Along with miles of beautiful beaches... Virginia Beach also offers the best in golfing pleasure. We are particularly proud of Sandbridge's own Hell's Point Golf Course, which was carved out of the lofty Virginia pines at Sandbridge near the Atlantic Ocean and the resort area of Virginia Beach.

If you're ready to heat up your game, Hell's Point Golf Club is hard to resist. Renowned golf course architect Rees Jones had a devilish inspiration when he designed this 6,776-yard, par 72, 18-hole course with its lakes, interesting fairway angles, challenging greens and 61 sculptured sandtraps. The course has received many awards including Golf Digest's "One of the Best New Courses" rating when it opened in 1982, as well as "Best of the Beach" by the Virginian Pilot Reader's Poll 14 years running. Hell's Point lures you to the first tee with the promise of adventure and holds you through the last hole with its masterful challenges. Come visit Hell's Point and discover for yourself why many golfers visit... but few want to leave.

Hell's Point, along with dozens of other fine courses, are just minutes away from Sandbridge Beach. So if you enjoy quiet walks along a secluded beach and the challenge of a good game of golf... Sandbridge Beach can provide the best of both! Search for available beach home and condo rentals (small or large groups) at www.siebert-realty.com And to preview the various Golf Courses in our area, visit Virginia Beach Golfing

Back to Nature...Sandbridge offers unspoiled beauty along its shores.

2007-05-15T08:38:00.000-05:00

Situated along the coastline at the southend of Sandbridge, the Back Bay National Wildlife Refuge contains about 7,700 acres of beach, dunes, woodland and marsh. An additional 4,600 acres of the bay’s shallow waters surrounding the refuge’s marshy islands have been designated by Presidential Proclamation for the protection of migrating birds.A visit to the refuge is a “must do” on your vacation! Visitors to the refuge have a variety of opportunities to observe wildlife in its natural habitat along various trails and dike roads. Among the possible sightings in the refuge are deer, wild horses, rabbits, raccoons, opossums, minks, foxes, hawks, osprey, owls, herons, swans, bald eagles, loggerhead turtles and, in the surf… pilot whales and dolphins. Whistling swans, Snow and Canada geese and several species of ducks frequent the refuge from fall through early spring. Peak waterfowl populations can number in the tens of thousands, with numbers in the range of 100,000 waterfowl using the refuge in a given year. The mallard, widgeon, gadwall, and black duck are the most numerous in population.

Little Island is the starting point for excursions to the Back Bay Wildlife Refuge and False Cape State Park that are otherwise only accessible by boat. Daily tram rides leave the park for an excursion through the refuge to False Cape where visitors can spend two hours hiking and sightseeing before the return trip.
