VIRGINIA BEACH — In a few months, throngs of vacationers will descend on the secluded seaside community of Sandbridge, about 15 miles south of the Virginia Beach resort area. Large vacation homes dominate the 5-mile strip of land nestled between the Atlantic Ocean and the upper portion of Back Bay. These days, Sandbridge is relatively quiet except for the sound of hammers hitting nails. .
A structural safety inspection report, valid for three years, is required to obtain a short-term rental permit in Virginia Beach. A state licensed architect or engineer must inspect the decks, balconies, exterior stairways and porches.
