Une Gemme Architecturale sur la Plage la Plus Privée à Virginia Beach

This luxurious oceanfront Smart Home has stunning views of the widest beach in north end of Virginia Beach. In a quiet residential neighborhood, this property feels like a private refuge from the moment you round the corner of the driveway—truly a place to get away from it all!

Inspired by the 1953 Norfolk residency of Frank Lloyd Wright, this family property was designed by local architect, Herbert Smith, and built in 1955. The home is registered on the Virginia Beach Historic Register. Mid-century aesthetics were retained when updating in 2006. The owners—the daughter and grandson of the original owners—continue to uphold the tradition of southern hospitality.

This home is tucked away in the middle of the block in a quiet residential neighborhood, off a cul de sac. Sandswept provides a perfect retreat for families. However, it is not suitable for noisy gatherings of unrelated adults. Residents on our street value the quiet serenity of this special area.

Awarded a Star Award by Virginia Green Travel, this eco friendly home was fully renovated in 2006 to comply with Energy Star and LEED ReGreen standards. By using non-toxic laundry and cleaning products and having no VOCs in the furniture and finishes, this is a wonderful home for anyone with chronic allergies or asthma.

The Home
‱ a split level mid-century home with 3,100 square feet on four levels, two patios and two decks. Ample space to gather together and to separate for moments of quiet reflection. Three flights of steps and no elevator make this inaccessible for the handicapped.
‱ a rooftop deck with “the best view in Virginia Beach” to view dolphins, sunrises, sunsets and full moons. The rooftop room and deck can only be accessed via a spiral staircase.
‱ Cook on the deck with the electric grill or prepare more complex meals in the kitchen and send food up in the dumb waiter.
‱ 2 full spa-like bathrooms have luxurious jetted tubs that provide air massage and chromatherapy. Toilets are in “water closets” separated from bathing area.
‱ Smart Home with whole house audio, Lutron automatic shades and lighting, with dimmers to create mood lighting whenever and wherever you want
‱ High speed WiFi, two Smart TVs with Firesticks, and one DVD player
‱ Port-a-crib, Pack and Play, highchair, booster chair, infant seat for dining and outdoor swingset, diaper pail and training toilet are available for toddlers; please request in advance
‱ No smoking inside or within 20 feet of an open window
‱ Protect indoor air quality by leaving outside shoes at the door.

This house was perfect for our family of 8. The location of this gorgeous home, the layout, and amenities were perfect for all the adults and kids. The beach is more private, which we preferred, than staying closer to the strip, which is just a short drive down the street. Thank you Gayle for sharing your amazing home with us.

The house has so much character. The design, the neighborhood, the spaces both indoor and outdoor, the views from the windows, patio and balcony, nestled against the dunes, all together create a wonderful venue for a beach getaway. We had a multigenerational family reunion, ages 4 to 98 and everyone loved Sandswept.

The property seemed clean and roomy upon checkin and was very close to the private beaches in the North End and within a 25-minute bike ride to the boardwalk area, offering the best of both private and public beach area access. This was ideal for our group and Gayle seemed very friendly. However, as the week went on our beach vacation took a turn for the worse. We began to find bugs in the house, which initially the owner told us they were just "water bugs" although they didn't seem to be any type of water bug we had ever seen (nor were they around water) but as the week went on we found more and more and it turned out they were in fact American cockroaches. This ultimately ended up ruining our stay as more popped up in bedrooms and living areas. While the Owner continued to not be concerned (told us to spray peppermint spray), when we caught and showed her the live bugs she did take responsibility eventually and agreed to give us a partial refund to make up for it since it was a known issue prior to our stay, although she said not to that level. She was to take measures to alleviate the issue and I hope she did! Overall, we enjoyed our vacation (until towards the end) and the house was beautiful. However; there were way too many rules for normal vacationers to follow and sharing laundry with the Owner wasn't great. It also became apparent that she does not wash her provided bedding - so make sure to bring all your own from fitted sheet to comforters to all pillowcases!!!

The house was wonderful and the location was perfect. It is a great house for a large group. There were 12 of us - 6 adults and 6 teenagers. We had room to spread out and the views were fantastic. It was so nice to be right by the beach. We came for a family vacation with our children and grandchildren to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary. We would all like to come back again! Gayle was a wonderful host and available for any questions we had. We all enjoyed our stay. Thank you, Gayle!

Wow - this house was so cool! We loved all the updated features, rain shower, heated floors, and heated towel rack. The Pelican Room was a favorite of ours, and the kids loved the playground. The walk to the beach was easy and the views were beautiful. We were so grateful for the extra time extended to our family, as well. When we come back to VA Beach, we know exactly where we are staying!

Hard to be brief, but I will try. Everything about our stay at Sandswept was wonderful. Unique home design. Oceanfront with magnificent views and a feeling of seclusion and privacy. During our trip, the tropical storm hit --> home was completely secure despite howling wind and rain. The home has everything you need to be comfortable. I've been to many rental homes. This home more than any place I have stayed felt like someone's personal home and not a rental. The host Gayle was incredibly accommodated. Our older dog is not doing well. Gayle let us borrow her beach fat-tire wagon so we could take him to enjoy the feeling and sounds of the ocean. If you are looking for an ultra modern-cookie cutter type home or condo this is not the place for you. If you are willing to try something special and appreciate the so many features of this home, then this is the place for you. There is even a playground area on the property for children! I will have fond memories of this trip and I have a new friend in Gayle.

We celebrated my daughter’s graduation over a long weekend in this amazing home. It’s a large home and accommodated us well. The views are magnificent and the beach is huge and uncrowded. We did some cooking there and rode bikes nearby when we weren’t enjoying the beach. We really loved the upper deck area and room with the views. The home was clean, the outdoor area was well maintained and we were impressed by all the “green” items and initiatives in the home. And the property’s history was fascinating and the mid century modern decor was very cool. The owner lives next door and was friendly and helpful. We appreciated that we could bring our dog and it was easy to walk him. Also parking was not a problem. There are quite a few rules to follow in order to maintain the “green” lifestyle, which we were happy to do. Our only complaint is that there is really no comfortable furniture for watching movies or tv as a group. Coincidentally my daughter became engaged that weekend so we look forward to returning in a year to celebrate her wedding!

This property wows you at every turn. The FLR styled house showcases the surrounding dunes, beach, and ocean at the entrance of the Chesapeake Bay from every room, and demands awareness of and attention to Nature and our interactions with it. Eco-friendly features and tips are abundant. Breathtaking is an overused word at times, but truly applies looking out the many huge windows on a clear day. The owner has obviously taken meticulous care to assemble and maintain this home for decades, preserving its classic styling ; every wall hanging and shelf tells a story and there are many to explore. (It also has heated bathroom floors, wonderful for winter stays such as ours!) The owner is a kind and gracious host. Definitely lives up to its billing!

Our family had saved up to celebrate the graduations of 3 of my children (1 hs and 2 college), and I was so happy that we chose Gayle’s place! I fell in love with the layout of the house. It is designed so that everyone can retire to separate locations, but we could also comfortably gather together when we wanted. It feels so private, tucked behind the dune, but the beach is just a short walk away. We had a lot of young people in the house, and they took advantage of being close to the action of Va Beach. Conversely, my husband and I relished our time in the peace and quiet of Gayle’s live oaks and the uncrowded beach, a short walk away. Gayle and her family are delightful and I felt like I had known her for many years. I dream of going back as soon as we are able! It was a wonderful memory for all of us.

We enjoyed our girlfriends weekend. We relaxed in this beautiful home that had everything you need . The items in the home are properly labelled how to use that light switches, sinks etc. Gayle the property owner was very helpful and friendly. The property is very close to the beach. Watching the sunrise and sunsets from the modern upgraded top deck was amazing. The house is on the national historic register which we liked. We wished the furnishing were more updated . would be nice if the house had an automatic fragrance dispenser to get rid of the old house smell.

We (a family of 6, ages 3-70) had an amazing stay at Sandswept. We (unintentionally) timed it perfectly around amazing blue skies and a full moon, which was incredible to see rise from both the living room and Pelican Room. The boats were super fun to watch too. As others have said, there’s plenty of room to spread out, but it also feels very communal. Gayle was a wonderful host and provided lots of helpful info during our stay about the timing of tides, sunsets, and moonrises, which was much appreciated. Highly recommended!
