Siebert Realty

This is a review of Bay Star rented in summer of 2022 from Siebert Realty. This is an informational post for anyone looking to rent this house for more information about it. The house is really big and perfect for our extended family group of 17, with the perfect amount of bedrooms for us all. The house is very close to the beach, about a three to four minute walk. BEDROOMS: The first floor bedroom is a queen not a king, unlike noted on their website; instead there are two kings upstairs. The mattresses feel older, with some complaints about the ones upstairs being too soft. My bedroom on the first floor needed a replacement door knob it was about to fall off, had curtains that were really hard to open and close, and no mirror. BATHROOMS: Two of the queen rooms have bathrooms attached with bathtubs and one of the king rooms also has a bathroom attached with a walk-in shower. The other bedrooms on the second floor share a full bath with bathtub and half bath. There is another full bathroom on the first floor with a walk-in shower with an *extremely* narrow door, but the shower itself is good size; this bathroom didn't have a trash can I forgot to take a photo of that bathroom. The water pressure wasn't the greatest on the second floor, but really good in the first floor bathroom. Enough towels were provided for the stay, though I brought a few more beach towels. Next time I would bring a bathmat from home. KITCHEN & DINNING: The dinning table had 16 chairs around it, though the house fits 18. When our group of 17 was around it, we had the five year old share a seat with someone else. The kitchen has lots of pots and pans, but an electric stove that took getting used to the filter on the fan needs replacing. The pantry is amazing, loved the rotating shelves. The fridge side by side with ice maker and water filter and dishwasher worked well. An extra fridge is in the Rec Room. ENTERTAINMENT: The air hockey table is older but works well and the foosball table was in good shape, but the pool table cannot be played at all as no chalk was provided and the pool cues and balls were in rough shape anyways. There is a table tennis in the garage which we didn't play. The TV in the Rec room worked well. The TV in the living room had the cables hanging from it unsightly. POOL & HOT TUB: Both weren't clean upon our arrival and were not cleaned during our stay. The walk-in steps on the pool don't have a railing, which makes it difficult for those older or with bad knees to get into the pool. The hot tub worked well but is below what we called the spider tree. The strainer for pool had a rip in it. EXTERIOR: The end of the driveway is in serious need of repair. It rained the first day of our arrival and the large, deep puddle at the end of the driveway only just started to dry up on our last full day. Getting out of the car and stepping into a hot puddle isn't fun. The house has a cool dock off the back of the house. The deck faces the bay, perfect for sunsets. The fenced in yard was prefect for our dog. OTHER: There was no "Secrets of Sandbridge" book upon arrival; I had to download it to find out about the extra garbage and trash pickup that wasn't included on the key website. The garage has a couple bikes, beach chairs, and a bunch of pool toys. The A/C worked well and most rooms had ceiling fans or standing oscillating fans. The washer worked well, though the dryer didn't always dry well on the first attempt. There's a hole in the ceiling above the pool table on the first floor strangely. The keypad lock was nice once we figured out how to lock it. Oh and we received a note that the water bill was past due and in danger of being shut off I emailed that to the rental company immediately. Comments about the repairs needed were shared with the rental company directly. Overall I would say the house is 3.5 out of 5 stars, but since I can't put a half, 4 it is. I would definitely rent the house again, but would hope some improvements would be made for future stays.

Siebert Realty is my family’s go to for Sandbridge, VA vacation rentals! They not only help find the perfect place for your stay, but they stick with you all the way through. It starts with convenient key pick up and makes drop off at the end of your stay as pain free as possible. They are even a call away when you do something crazy like locking yourself out during arrival. One call and five minutes later- we were back to moving in! Siebert and Sandbridge is a winning combination!

Our family of 12 enjoyed the best week at Absolutely Stellar this spring 2022. The house was huge, with plenty of space to hang out together, or find a quiet spot to read or work. The beach was close, but not too close no worrying with the “littles”. The indoor pool was an added treat since it was early spring - loved the high locks -again, no safety worries. We hung out in the theater room; had meals together in the dining/kitchen area; plenty of room to spread out a 1000 piece puzzle; walked to an ice cream shop; and especially enjoyed watching the “littles” Easter buried treasure and scavenger hunt. BBQ on the deck was a bonus and we really appreciate enough plates, cups, silverware, towels and linens for everyone! We did have one question and called the reality company at the beginning of our stay- imagine our surprise when we received an immediate reply- fastest response ever! Will be coming back again and again, and again!.

I’ve been renting in Sandbridge for over 50 years … twice each year. Siebert Realty is excellent to deal with. They are friendly, responsive, professional & they make sure their rental properties are in excellent condition. I can honestly say I’ve never had a bad experience with anyone I’ve talked with. I’ve stayed in several different houses over the years and have never been disappointed. Thank you, everyone at Siebert … you make vacations great!!! See you soon!

I used Siebert Realty 20 years ago and again this past summer. Still excellent service! They make it easy to choose a house or condo and link you to services you might need while you’re there. All the properties I’ve stayed at were exactly what I expected. Siebert’s website is easy to “shop around” on and provides accurate descriptions. I will always use Siebert Realty when visiting Sandbridge.

We stayed at the Captain's Quarters. I believe one of the original homes on the beach! We loved our stay there. Everything you need is provided, included much needed outdoor shower. Convenient, clean and calm. Beach within short walking distance. Walked it every morning to watch the sunrise on the beach. Pictures are of the walk entrance to the beach and of the front of the house early morning.

0/10. Do not recommend. Stay away from Siebert Realty and the house ‘No Bayside Comparison’. We were never sent the code like they said to enter the house and so we went to their office and they didn’t have it either so finally after waiting all day at 4pm we just went to the house and all the doors were left unlocked. The view is the only thing this house has going for it. All these pictures were taken as soon as we entered the house. The house was filthy, run down, and in desperate need of updating. There were dead bugs and cobwebs everywhere… on the side of the house, deck, windows,screens, etc. Broken, dirty deck chairs tossed everywhere. They park a giant rusty truck next to the house that advertises a nail salon they must also own. On the other side of the house there was a broken basketball net, knocked over tent and broken grills. In the pool area, there were clumps of hair and hair ties left around the pool. The couch was broken, you can barely open the kitchen cabinets. The microwave in the kitchen would randomly stop working then work again, items in certain spots of the fridge would freeze, the broom was broken with no handle, bathtubs that wouldn’t drain. We tried using the grill one night and it ran out of gas midway through cooking and the ‘spare’ tank also empty. In the room I stayed in there was a pool of water on the bathroom sink from a leaky faucet, a child’s binky and toy, ping pong ball, and empty shoe box left on the floor. There was also a major bug problem. We had ants in the closet and on the back deck, spiders on the walls and one even in the sheets of a bed. The ironic thing is that the owners have signs everywhere with strict instructions and rules on everything. One sign said they count every dish and utensil in between each renter and if any are missing it could lead to police prosecution. Instead of counting their mismatched silverware and bent and scratched plates, they should clean and update their house!

After dealing with Siebert for 18 + years at Sandbridge, we would not go anywhere else. Sand Wolf's Den was absolutely beautiful and so accommodating. We loved all of the beach front houses we have stayed in.

My guests and I had a phenomenal time at the property aptly named AWESOME. The styling, cleanliness and upkeep of this home is top notch and the outdoor space was truly an oasis. I cant wait to go back!
