Fitness-friendly vacation rentals in Albemarle Sound

The entrance is in the mid-exterior of the car wash where the clients clean their cars. After you park, you have to walk with all of your luggage through the car wash's exterior (amidst client cleaning their cars) and go up many stairs. But when you enter the loft, you are extremely surprised by the beautiful, modern and clean space. Chandler was available every time I needed clarity on instructions. Bring your own food and beverages. There is a pool nearby which is available. Even though there are minimal eateries in the immediate community, there are places within short distance (mall, movies, restaurants) and there is always Virginia Beach.

Great views from the balcony. Access to everything, can walk. Great pizza shop directly across the street. Trolleys to take you places. My only shortfall is that it was a small kitchen (only two burners) with one large and small frying pan and pots, and we cooked a lot. But we made it work. Highly recommend!

A perfect place to stay; clean, comfortable, convenient and quiet. I will always stay here on my return to Franklin.

We loved our stay at James’ condo. The location is away from the hustle and bustle but still close enough to get to everything within minutes. The condo itself is directly across from the pool, which was perfect for us. Our kids loved walking around the marina and watching all the boats. The condo is updated, very clean, and had everything we needed. James was very responsive with any questions we had. We can’t wait to go back!

Such a great location and apt. Super cute and lots of kitchen equipment for making something at home or reheating leftovers. Close to downtown Manteo which was super fun. Love the beach island vibes of it all. The property is awesome. Very dog and kid friendly.

I’ve never booked an Airbnb before, so I was feeling a little apprehensive. Aimee’s condo is in a giant complex right on the beach in Sandbridge with gorgeous surroundings and two great restaurants within walking distance. Being a senior citizen, I had a little trouble finding her parking spot in the huge garage. I messaged Aimee and she had someone available on the premises to come right out and help me, which was such a relief! I’ve never operated a lockbox before to get the key, but that was pretty easy. Once inside the condo I was thrilled! Her third floor unit was spotless and really comfortable with a gorgeous view. It had everything we needed. Highly recommend!

We absolutely loved our stay . The Condo was beautiful and Eddi was kind she allowed me and my sister to check in early. The beach at Sandbridge is lovely we had a nice time .

Great stay!! Monica was very friendly and easy to communicate with. Place was spotless and comfortable. Highly recommend booking with them!!

The only issue we had was our code for the building and parking did not work at first! Pam was very quick to resolve! There are no elevators in parking garage, I would take my stuff in at the entrance and then park! Dolphin run staff was not much help! We had a second car that we were supposed to get a parking permit for. They just told us to park and not worry about signs that clearly stated towed with no permit. Our car did NOT get towed!

This was a very nice condo in a neighborhood with numerous amenities. There were several pools, tennis/pickleball courts, and a fitness center. We were able to take long walks throughout the scenic neighborhood. The condo was very clean. We would definitely stay here again.

This was a second time staying at Salty Shenanigans and we had another fantastic stay! Beautiful upgrades were made this year to the unit. Condo is super clean and includes all of the amenities. Cost is worth having the ability to walk to the pool, beach and back again without getting in the car. Our 3 year old loves the splash pad and zero entry pool.

We had a lovely stay at Crystal’s while in town for a graduation. Crystal was proactive with directions, recommendations, and instructions, and she responded quickly to questions. The place was nicely decorated, and well-stocked with kitchen gadgets, beach chairs, games, and other necessities. This is a nice place for a getaway.

Lyn’s place was absolutely beautiful! Looks just like the photos. The location was perfect- everything you need is in walking distance which was exactly what we wanted. Amazing restaurants within 5 minute walk, lots of shopping, arcade, mini golf, ice cream shops. We had an issue with the internet due to the severe thunderstorms and she took care of the problem immediately and had workers on site taking care of the problem. Lyn was very responsive and rate 10/10 for a host. We can’t wait to come back next year. Thank you for a beautiful week.

Fantastic location and clean, well-equipped place! Would come back.

My family really enjoyed our vacation. It was a great location to the beach and a private pool. It was our first vavation w/ an 18month old and 1 on the way. Randy was very quick to respond to any questions. A+

We enjoyed our stay at Danielle’s-very much. It was so clean I didn’t feel the need to bring out my own Lysol wipes! 😂 The only thing that caught us by surprise was that the condo was on the third floor and no elevator. That is probably my fault as I may have over looked it in the description-very likely. It’s just a lot of stairs for two Senior people but we made it! Danielle’s place was wonderful and would highly recommend it to anyone.

Very accommodating, very friendly offered recommendations for things to do. The house was spotless very well organized very clean. Absolutely amazing!!!

home away from home but with vacation vibes . my family enjoyed. we will definitely rent here again when in VA :) we made amazing memories and bonded as a family well needed..

The condo was clean and beautifully maintained—perfect for our stay before the fishing trip.

Jorge was an excellent host - very proactive and responsive, and just a pleasure to meet and speak with. We thoroughly enjoyed his beach home, and we are very happy it was available to us.

Absolutely loved this beach house — it was everything we hoped for and more. Spotless and well-kept, with plenty of space, including extra rooms that came in handy. The walk to the beach was quick and easy, making it perfect for spontaneous trips to the shore. The house had everything we needed, from kitchen supplies to beach gear, which made the stay super convenient. The hot tub and pool were a major highlight — clean, relaxing, and just what we needed after a day out. And the best surprise? Just a two-minute drive down the street, we got to see wild horses for free. Make sure you guys have an all wheel drive car to see the horses! It felt like a hidden gem. This place is 100% worth it. We’d come back in a heartbeat.

It was the ideal retreat for our two families, with six children ranging in age from 3 to 13. From the moment we arrived, we felt completely at home. There was ample space for everyone to relax and enjoy themselves. The location was fantastic—just under five minutes’ drive to the beach and local shops, nestled in a peaceful neighborhood surrounded by trees. It felt wonderfully private and serene. Cindy was incredibly responsive and helpful throughout our stay. We were genuinely disappointed not to have booked for longer and will absolutely be returning in the future.

The house was in a great area, really close to the beach and really spacious. Our hosts were really kind and responsive to anything we needed. I would definitely come back and stay.

Excellent accommodations, host, and location! We looked for a last minute Memorial Day get away, and this rental was perfect. Our boys enjoyed the pool and proximity to the park and playground. The location made for easy travel to the beach, the lighthouse, and other area attractions. The community was quiet and friendly, and the hosts were very responsive. Thanks for a peaceful and restful weekend stay!
