Siebert Realty has a wide selection of beach home and
condo vacation rentals, and many are large enough to accommodate the entire family with up to
13 bedrooms... sleeping 30 people. Making
arrangements early on these larger homes is always a wise choice, as they tend
to rent quickly.
Here are a few tips in
the planning process:
·
Book Early for the best selection!
·
Hold your family
reunion in the Off-Season
If some family members are on a tight budget, it may be a good idea to hold the reunion during
the off season when rental rates are low. The spring and fall seasons are beautiful here at
Sandbridge Beach. Best of all, outdoor swimming pools
are still open for guest's use in September on through mid October.
·
Plan your reunion around a BIG Family Event!
Planning your family reunion around a BIG EVENT such as a
milestone Grandparent's Birthday or Golden Anniversary is always fun. You can make it into more of a celebration than a reunion with cake, balloons, a "roast", and be sure to bring plenty of vintage pictures to mark the passage of time.

Decide on the size of your Family Reunion
We have beach homes and
condos of all shapes and sizes. Even a smaller
reunion can be fun and also can cut down on cost. So deciding on the number of attendees is always the first place to
start in the planning process. Text or email all your family members to get an idea of who is coming, how many bedrooms they will need, and what kind of budget they have. If you plan on having a large reunion, it may be necessary to rent more than one house, so feel free to call our rental agents at Siebert Realty to go over your needs. We can help find multiple accommodations close to each other. Simply call 877-422-2200 or go online at

Creating a family reunion "Facebook Group" is free and a great way to keep everyone connected
and in the loop. It's better than a
basic "friend page" because everyone is authorized to chime in and post
comments and photos on the wall. It's also a
great way to keep everyone informed if there are any changes in plans. Those family members who
can't attend can also see what they'll miss this year and perhaps it will encourage them to make the next reunion. You can also create a reunion Pinterest
account so that you can have fun setting up pin boards of your accommodations, pictures of Sandbridge Beach, your planned activities, local restaurants, and more!
·
Bring Old Photo Albums
Connecting and reminiscing about old times is always a favorite pastime at family reunions. Especially for the elderly family members. So be sure to bring old photo albums so that older members can go down memory lane and can also pass along family
stories to the younger generation. And
if it's a special milestone birthday or anniversary, it can be fun to blowup vintage pictures to poster size and scatter them throughout the house.
·
Plan Fun Family Activities
Ask family members
what they like to do... especially what their kids love to do. Or encourage them to post what they love on your Facebook Page or Pinterest account. You can’t please everyone, but you can plan
activities ahead of time to keep people entertained.
- Rent a Karaoke Machine.
- Book a Golf Outing
- Book a Fishing Trip
- Go on a Kayaking Tour (with a tour guide)
- Visit the nearby Va. Aquarium and Marine Science Museum (call for group discounts)
- Visit the nearby Ocean Breeze Water Park
- Visit the Va. Beach Boardwalk
- Go on a Dolphin or Whale Watching Tour
- Hike or ride the tram through the Back Bay Wildlife Refuge
We hope this will help
head you in the right direction in getting started on your own Family Reunion. Remember that in the end, it's all about spending time together and renewing family bonds, and we're here to help make that happen. Have a great time everyone... and stay connected!
