Sea La Vie is a hidden gem! Small and cozy, perfect for a couple. Tucked in a quiet community making it a calm and restful space. An easy walk to the beach, but because it’s set right on the bay you can also simply relax next to the water while enjoying your morning coffee on the porch. The hosts, Badria and Jay, have curated a space filled with thoughtful details and have implemented a simple check-in and checkout process. We would absolutely stay again.

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.

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.

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.

Very safe, welcoming, comfortable for one senior type lady. Spectacular access to the bay with 2 kayaks. Dog welcome was appreciated. Couch turned into a nice comfy place for my son to stay. The extras that were shared were thoughtful, comfortable, and very generous! I mean a bit of beach stuff, snack, chocolates by the bed...But the bathrobes were so much fun. Slippers? Who does that? Tremendous Treat! There was a generous breeze on the deck and plenty of room and places to relax. Any bugs and spiders kind of were there first, and they ran off when we told them who was boss. It is right on the BACK BAY. Quiet, safe, and I want to go back ASAP. Great hosts.SeaLAVIE

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.

This tiny house right on the Back Bay in Sandbridge Va is in a community of recreational vehicles which have been made stationary in a beach neighborhood between the ocean beach and the Northern Back Bay. The house has a full kitchen, one bathroom, sleeps four, snugly, or two comfortably, and has an outdoor shower. The community is a one block walk to the ocean and our house faced southwest and was on the Back Bay, dock included. The community has a couple swimming pools and a nice beach restaurant, Baja, a short walk away. Our little house was called Sea La Vie and offered two kayaks for the use of occupants and two beach bicycles. The Back Bay Refuge was a level ride away on the bikes. Very fun community offering fun beach, ocean, and bay activities. Our hosts were very accommodating and friendly and we enjoyed every minute in this tiny beach house including sunsets and stargazing.

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!

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!

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!

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.

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!!

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.

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.
