Pet of the Month

This month, we’ve decided to introduce you to a four-legged fan of Sandbridge who spends his time strolling the beach. Remember: if you have a beach-loving pet, please share your pictures with us and tell us about your furry pal’s love for Sandbridge. They may be featured in a future Pet of the Month post!

Meet Prince J: March’s Pet of the Month!

Prince J is a Jack Russell terrier from right here in Virginia Beach. He is a little over 16 years old! Prince J loves Sandbridge naps and hanging out on the screened porch during his downtime. He also enjoys hanging out with his buddies Stella, Duncan, and Lily!

Prince J’s favorite beach activity is hunting for crabs in the sand…living up to the Jack Russell name! But when he takes a break from searching for crabs, peaceful sunrise walks with the family are some of the best Sandbridge memories for Prince J.

The Sand Palette

Don’t you wish you could just pack up one of our vibrant Sandbridge sunsets and take it home with you at the end of your vacation? Now you can!

The Sand Palette is a Sandbridge-exclusive experience that helps you capture the natural beauty of our beloved beach town by bringing the art studio right to you. While photographs of sunsets and dolphins playing in the wave are great, there is something amazing and incomparable about freezing a moment through art.

Each session is led by a local artist. There is no experience necessary! Painters of all skill levels are invited to join in on the fun—all you need is a good attitude and a desire to create art while having fun with your friends and family. The Sand Palette artist will come to your rental property with all the necessary art supplies and provide instructions on the chosen design. No need to stick straight to the script though—all painters are encouraged to follow their own art spark and take as many creative liberties as their hearts desire!

All of the painting designs are based on some of your favorite and iconic Sandbridge spots. From the beach to the bay, The Sand Palette is here to preserve your vacation memories in an incredibly special way. If guests have an idea for a custom design, the possibility of adding it to the list of chosen artworks can be discussed through email.

To book a session, contact The Sand Palette through email (thesandpalette@gmail.com) with your availability. For summer visitors—those arriving in May and beyond—booking will open in April. The pricing of a session depends on the party size, and the price includes all art supplies and instruction:

Less than 5 people: $25 per person

5 to 10 people: $22 per person

11 to 20 people: $20 per person

Food and drink are not provided during the session, but The Sand Palette highly suggests all prospective artists grab their favorite drinks and snacks for the event. What’s a painting party without some good food and a cocktail or two?

Now is your chance to hang on to your Sandbridge vacation forever—book a session with The Sand Palette and create beautiful art and unforgettable memories with the entire family!

Pet of the Month: October

Pet of the Month

Hello fall! It’s hard to believe it’s already time for us to introduce October’s Pet of the Month: Hero! Remember–if you have a beach-loving pet, please share your pictures with us tell us why your furry friend loves Sandbridge and they may be featured in a Pet of the Month post.

Hero is 6 years old and has been coming to Sandbridge since he was 2 years old. He loves climbing the small dune by the house, watching the dolphins when they are close to shore, supervising “his people” in the pool from the shade deck, and enjoying the ocean breezes lying on the screened porch.

Hero’s Mom, Dr. Robin from Maryland, with her family and friends have been vacationing in Sandbridge and staying with Siebert Realty for over 20 years.

Robin sent us this photo of she and Hero on the beach with a note, “Last year, a beautiful sunset, Hero and me.  Memories like this kept me going while treating patients through COVID-19.  Couldn’t wait to put my toes in your sand, been a very hard year!”

Hero first came to Sandbridge with his Dad, Titan, and now brings his girlfriend Hops for a Sandbridge Dream Vacation.
