Did you know that February 4th is National Book Direct Day in 2026? That means it’s time to do your research and decide where you’d like to book your vacation this year!

There are a lot of great options out there, but we, of course, think you should book your vacation to Sandbridge in 2026. Let’s explore why you should visit Sandbridge and the benefits of booking your trip directly.

What is National Book Direct Day?

National Book Direct Day occurs on the first Wednesday of February every year, so it falls on the 4th in 2026. The holiday began with a social media campaign in 2018 using the hashtag #BookDirect on socials. Primarily, the holiday encourages guests (like you) to book vacations directly with vacation rental companies (like us!) instead of other third-party sites. We’ll explain exactly why you should book directly next.

What are the Benefits of Booking Direct?

There are a lot of benefits to booking a vacation directly. They include:

No Hidden Fees

When you book a home on Airbnb, VRBO, or other third-party sites, you run into a ton of third-party fees for things like booking and cleaning. That isn’t the case when you book directly with a vacation rental company!

The price you see on our website is exactly what you’ll be paying (plus taxes, of course!). All of our services are included in the price you pay. As a local business, we value transparency, so you’ll never get the runaround when trying to book your stay. On top of that, our vacation rentals are competitively priced.

Dedicated Local Team

Our team at Sandbridge Life knows the area better than anyone else! We’re locally owned and operated, so you know we’re not doing any guesswork when it comes to your stay here. In a nutshell, we know what we’re doing!

Along with the knowledge that comes from living in the area, we’re also nearby to lend a hand if any issue should arise. While we hope that your trip goes off without a hitch, but in the event that you do need assistance, we’re right here to help.

We also pride ourselves on our attention to detail and personal touch—we sincerely want you to have a great time while staying in our coastal Virginia Beach neighborhood. We’re proud of where we live, and we want you to love it, too!

Incredible Guest Satisfaction

If the many 5-star reviews are anything to go by (and we’d say they are!), our guests love staying with us! But don’t just take our word for it. Here are just a few reviews from satisfied guests:

“Sandbridge Life Realty made the rental experience easy and was quick to help with any issues we ran into. We would definitely stay there and rent through again.”

Christopher Y. from PA, Reviewing His Stay at 8 Bed, 7 Bath Contingent Sea:

“Sandbridge is a family-friendly vacation destination. We love it. We love this house. We have been going to the same house for 8 years.”

Cheryl F. from VA, Reviewing Her Stay at 6 Bed, 4 Bath Blue Ocean:

“I love this place. It's a hidden gem. My favorite spot in the morning is the front deck where I sip coffee and watch dolphins rise up as they pass through on their morning travels. My favorite sunset spot is the high upper deck in the back of the house that has a view of the ocean on the east and the bay and the sunset to the west. I look forward to these favorite places every year.”

Jerri O, from TX, Reviewing a Stay at 9 Bed, 9 Bath, 2 Half Bath A Seahorse Wish:

"This is truly an amazing property. It has everything you want and need for your beach vacay. Great views from the rooms and balconies, you step out onto the beach from the pool, always clean, lots of amenities for all ages, spacious rooms, beds are comfortable, you can get grocery delivery so you never have to leave and you will not want to. Definitely coming back!"
