The details:

Welcome to "Carolina on My Mind", a 2bed/2bath 1400 sq ft luxury beach retreat located at the southern-most part of Virginia Beach in the charming coastal community of Sandbridge at the exclusive Sanctuary at False Cape complex, which sits among the pristine sandy beaches and sparkling waters of the Outer Banks of Virginia and is the only beachfront complex in Sandbridge! Your toes will literally be steps from the sand with no roads to cross.

This unique Oceanfront location within Virginia Beach provides the serenity of the neighboring National Wildlife Refuge with the convenience of swimming, surfing, and a fishing pier, plus tennis courts, a playground and a sheltered picnic area at Little Island Park next door. At the same time, you're only a stone's throw from a variety of grocery, dining, and shopping options all over Virginia Beach.

Inside, you'll find a spacious living area that features a stunning shiplap fireplace feature wall, premium hardwood floors throughout, two comfortable over-sized sitting chairs, a large, comfy sectional with queen sleeper, a foosball table, and dining for 8. You'll also find Ocean views from some areas in the main living space.

Enjoy homemade meals in the large, fully-equipped gourmet kitchen with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a bar top with bar stools. Relax on the private patio with both Ocean and Bay views! Cuddle up for a movie night on the large 70" Samsung 4k Smart TV with 5.1 surround sound or have a family game night.

The Master bedroom features a King bed that has a remote-controlled adjustable base and with en-suite and access to the private patio. Watch Netflix or Disney+ in bed on the 50" smart HDTV! The secondary bedroom also features a King bed plus a twin loft, its own 50" smart HDTV, with another full bathroom.

Full of a variety of amenities, this luxury condominium offers breathtaking views of the Atlantic Ocean and Back Bay. Imagine having your morning coffee while the sun comes up over the Atlantic and relaxing on the patio in the evening while the sun sets over the Back Bay. In between, take a casual stroll along the shore to the pier and listen to the crashing waves while a group of dolphins swim by. Spend the day basking in the sun's rays on the beautiful beachfront or take a beach break by one of the three sparkling pools available exclusively for guest use.

You can workout in one of two state-of-the-art fitness centers, or just pause and enjoy the scenery from one of the many benches located along the private oceanfront boardwalk. For your culinary delights, the pool deck features multiple state of the art Viking gas grill stations with plenty of options for seating and dining, and if you're more in the mood for a night on the town, there are numerous restaurants, breweries, and eateries all around Virginia Beach - and it would be our pleasure to guide you to some of our favorite local spots.

The condo is stocked with games, books, cards and activities. The possibilities are endless!

As your hosts, we are committed to making your stay memorable, comfortable, and enjoyable. We pride ourselves on attention to detail, and we strive for 100% satisfaction 100% of the time. We treat our guests like family, and we are constantly looking for ways to improve the guest experience. As fantastic as the property is, we want your host experience to be our best amenity!

Cute, comfortable, and convenient but…
Great space for a medium sized family to enjoy VA Beach away from the main strand. Hosts put a lot of effort into making this space a “home away from home”. Unfortunately, my girlfriend and I spent the weekend brushing what we believe to have been pet hair off our clothes and sweeping away one or two dead insects. The biggest disappointment was a lack of hot water in the guest bath. To their credit the hosts notified us in advance of the problem and did their best to fix it before our arrival. However, our request for a % reduction in the per night rate was dismissed out of hand. In spite of the issue with the hot water, the hosts requested a 5 star review (or none at all) and were very detailed about how we could make things easier on housekeeping as we exited the property. Had it not been for the hot water and dissuasiveness, we’d absolutely stay again. For future vacationers, this might have been a one off occurrence but beware. Go Devils!

Short walk to the beach. Somewhat above average.
Good location. The nice beach is wide and was sparsely populated but was because of the Easter weekend and cooler weather. I can’t imagine it being like this during the summer vacation season. Hard to get the “lay of the land” at first esp finding the way to the courtyard where the grills were. Glad we found one that worked as several seemed out of order or broken. It’s an older condo building. The exterior was a bit grungy but the unit itself was updated and had everything we needed. The double-switched entranceway/hall light was annoying with the motion detector because it would come on when walking out of any room even though it was turned off at the other switch. The TV has an unending selection of apps which is great if you have subscriptions and can login.

It was a beautiful decorated condo. We had beach and bay views from our balcony. Our host had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. They had a nice kitchen so we could do some meals in.They also gave us some great suggestions for things to do around the area. So helpful! We had a great time, hope to come back again!

Nice getaway even in winter!
Great, relaxing unit on the beach. It was cold, but the unit was cozy. Nice floors, kitchen, and a lot of space. We really liked all the seating options in the main living area. Lights and drawers were labeled which was a major plus. Make sure to ask the nearby restaurants when their kitchen closes in the off season. However, it all worked out!
