Staying at this adorable place on Back Bay was a real treat. Very nice gated rv/tiny house community. Everything you need for a comfortable stay, including luxurious bathrobes! Special extras for our fur babies. Nice porch with retractable screens. Fishing from the dock. Clear detailed instructions and quick replies from hosts. I highly recommend this sweet gem of a place.

Very Accommodating!

Place was awesome. Initially seemed small but actually was nice to be close to my wife. They thought of everything and we cooked a few nights just to stay in and eat on that deck. Grill worked great, view was amazing, just an awesome place.

There was a huge rain storm as we were approaching our rental, which flooded the road that was necessary to enter the area. Our hosts were on the phone with us, helping us to get a hotel in the area that accommodated pets. They graciously deducted one night from our rental fee as well.The cottage itself was cozy, clean, and comfortable, and included many special touches such as a dog toy for our pup, a basket of snacks, and a lavender sachet and slippers on the bed. The view of the bay was beautiful!It was a relaxing and enjoyable stay!

Great views, clean & organized!

This is a great property and the pictures are 100% accurate. It has great views, many amenities, and was very clean. It also had all the extras: well stocked kitchen, plenty of towels/bedding, and bikes/boats. EVERYTHING was labeled and this made it exceptionally easy to slide right into vacation mode (and not spend time trying to figure out how to turn something on or the location of an item)!! Communication with the hosts was excellent too.

We spent 4 wonderful days at Sea La Vie.

Sea La Vie is a cozy cottage where we were able to relax and unwind sitting by the bay on a sunny dock. Peaceful environment. Just a short walk to Sandbridge Beach and a short drive to Virginia Beach. Lots of restaurants nearby. We very much enjoyed our time there. Badria and Jay were thoughtful and attentive hosts.

Best rental we’ve ever been to!!!

What a treasure! I am a professional traveler and have stayed at some spectacular hotels in amazing and exotic places around the world. This was easily one of the best travel experiences we’ve had and we cannot wait to return. The hosts have literally thought of EVERYTHING and the home is so well-appointed. I would love to keep this spot a secret, but the hosts are amazing and deserve acknowledgement for such amazing hospitality!

Cozy spot

My wife and I wanted to check the Sandbridge area out, and Sea La Vie was a great place for a couple. Beautiful spot right on the bay. The little house was fully equipped and there were bikes and kayaks we made use of. The development had a pool, tennis/pickle ball courts, and was across the street from the beach. Our hosts Badria and Jay were very responsive to any questions. Highly recommend!

Cute Quarters with Amazing View

We really enjoyed our stay here. Minor hiccup we encountered was after a long drive we arrived and there was no running water. The property owners fixed it promptly early the next morning. The view and dock are incredible. It is a small space but cozy and they have everything you need to cook and make yourself at home. Our dog loved it and they even had treats and a dog toy for our girl. Overall a great stay and prompt communication from the owners. The gas ran out and they very quickly instructed us how to change the propane tank.

Amazing Place

My husband and I stayed for a few nights with our dog. I cant express how amazing this place is. We have been to a lot of beaches and beach houses and this by far was our favorite. The hosts did everything to make our stay easy and relaxing. We came during tropical storm Debbie, and the host kept us update with the weather every step of the way. The cottage was clean, fully stocked amenities (even phone chargers), with beautiful views. I would recommend this place to everyone. We plan on making this place our yearly vacation spot.

"Cottage" is really an RV

When I read "charming cottage" and looked at the photos for this place, I did not picture an RV. It's a nicely kitted out RV, with a deck, but an RV nevertheless. We felt misled. It would be very easy for it to be made clear: just include one exterior photograph of the "cottage".There were bicycles, two kayaks, a porch, starter food, towels, etc., but I couldn't get over the fact that we were in a trailer park.

Sea la Vie

Our stay at Sea la Vie was wonderful. It was myself, my husband, 2 grown daughters and a dog. While it was tight, there is plenty of sitting room between the outside and inside that we were all comfortable. The deck is lovely and the constant breeze kept the bugs away. We ran into technology issues at check in and the hosts were very quick in responding over text to get us smoothly checked in. Would definitely recommend.

Perfect beach retreat for family!

Spent a week at Sea La Vie with 2 kids and our dog. It was perfect relaxing beach week retreat for the family. The house was cute, clean, and had everything we needed including for Fido. Badria and Jay were very responsive our whole trip. We used the bikes to visit the local nature park, the beach wagon to roll our 4 yr old whose “legs were too tired” to and from the beach, and we had tons of fun at the aquarium and arcade on VA boardwalk. We used the kitchen for some home cooked dinners and lunches, and LOVED the deck and chairs. Badria and Jay added so many cute touches like the chocolates by the bed, dog toy by the bed, candles, and guest information book. We loved our stay!!

Beautiful, cozy, impressive attention to detail

Could not gush more over this spot. The community was not only even more picturesque than the pictures suggest, but everyone there was super friendly. The sandpiper beach across the street was comfortably walkable and had almost the feel of a private beach as it was very empty, so I was able to take my dogs there in the evening. The home is beautifully furnished and boasts a tremendous amount of detail, from plenty of basic comforts to labeled drawers, to games and towels and beach chairs and more. Already my friends and I have recommended this little gem to many friends and family. A little tight for 3+ people, but especially for a couples getaway (and doubly so if bringing pups), it would be hard to beat even at a considerably higher price point.

Perfection

This was overall the most enjoyable trip I’ve taken, from the booking process to the stay itself. Our hosts went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed during our stay and to maximize our fun while we were here. The view on the water is mesmerizing. My kids enjoyed fishing off the dock where we caught catfish, trout and even saw an alligator gar. When they weren’t fishing they were enjoying the kayaks provided. The bay is beautiful and the beach is just a quick bicycle ride away- bikes also provided. We were welcomed with a smore kit for the kids and rods ready to take cast. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

Perfect Getaway with superb hosts

Badria and Jay were exceptionally welcoming, friendly and informative hosts! They were very responsive to all my questions throughout our stay and prior. We had only one small issue (the kitchen sink handle was loose) which Jay resolved within the hour and gave us a gift card for the (very minor) inconvenience. The cottage was tastefully decorated and very welcoming. It had all of the comforts of home: ample hangers, phone chargers, spices & condiments, paper towels, bath & beach towels, and more! They also provided beach chairs & wagon, boogie boards and kayaks! Perfect location right on the bay. The two pools on site were well taken care of and never too crowded. We saw beautiful sunsets every night. Everything was wonderful and we’d definitely stay here again!

Finally got to Sandbridge… And it was well worth the wait!

I first heard about Sandbridge Beach about 12 years ago when I was on a plane coming back from Barcelona Spain. A woman I was talking to said she was from there and I never forgot it because I’ve never heard of it before. I’ve been living in Virginia now for nine years and, even the native Virginia’s, don’t know of it. The RV was just darling and everything from the furnishings to the dishes was just perfect. I loved my own little deck and being able to walk to the beach. Everyone in the community was so very nice and friendly. I ate at two great restaurants and although the cottage was a bit away and required about a 2025 minute drive to each restaurant, wasn’t easy drive and I always made it a point to get back in time to enjoy the beautiful sunset
