We had a fabulous stay! I think the previous renters moved the remote controls into the wrong rooms, so we never figured out the TV, but no big deal. Excellent location and just what we needed. Thanks again!

House was very clean on inside but outside needs to be cleaned better. There were spider webs in all the bushes, edges of windows, & mailbox, which is right at front door. TV is not a smart TV & Chrome Cast is not available; it's only a regular TV so was a little disappointed (& the remote had been lost when we arrived. Rental agency wasn't aware of this or only regular TV was available.) Very quiet & nice walk to beach.

A Shore Thing is the perfect beach rental for our family. It’s equipped with everything you need....just bring your clothes and groceries! A great backyard for grilling and enjoying family time after spending the day at the beach. The best location, too! We have decided that it will become our annual vacation spot! Thanks for a terrific stay!

This house fit our needs for a family of three. Location to the beach, town, and the park can’t be beat. Neighbors were great too! There were a few maintenance issues that could use to be fixed, but otherwise was fine.

Super Professional!
There was a minor error with the online listing as this property does allow pets and my son and I are highly allergic. The realty company was AMAZING to work with and get everything sorted out to ensure we had the best vacation!

Cape Charles vacay
Overall, we had a good time on our vacation here. A few things about the house- one of the shower doors fell off and was just “hanging on”, and google chrome cast was not there. Reported these things to realty company on a Monday when they opened. Response was “thanks for letting us know”. Wednesday came, and when we tried the dryer it did not work. I called again to report that and follow up on the other 2 things I reported. I thought someone would fix/ replace the items but nobody did. They did, however, refund part of our stay. I appreciated that- they understood the inconvenience of these issues. We do look forward to visiting the area again! Love Cape Charles!

We had an amazing time at A Shore Thing! The location is perfect- a short walk to the beach, town, or Central Park. We especially loved the back deck and the amazing selection of DVDs to watch. You will just love this place!

Overall the house is very small but cute. Disappointed with they property management company due to the fact that the dryer didn’t work and we packed very little knowing there was a washer and dryer. When I called them to let them know they said they couldn’t get anyone out til next week to fix it. We were given keys to a different property to use the dryer but it was not convenient at all due to we had to drive there and we had a toddler with us.
Also, we went to us the grill and the propane tank was empty. I messaged the property company and there was no response. All these things should have been checked prior to our arrival. We were slightly disappointed.
Otherwise it’s close to beach which is great and neighbors were wonderful!

This is a very nice small house for up to four people if two are younger children. It is nicer inside than the exterior indicates. Close to the beach and retail/restaurants. Only suggestion is the master bed needs updating.

Cape Charles is an amazing beach town, especially when you have small children. A Shore Thing was a perfect place to stay - small but tidy and had everything we needed for a fun week! The location can't be beat. I would suggested adding beach chairs to borrow.

House was very clean and represented accurately. Our family of 4 enjoyed movie nights. Great location. Close to beach and downtown. Our first time for the 4th of July week. Loved the parade and vendors. Lack of wifi was a little bit of a challenge but manageable. Looking forward to coming back next year!

This was our first time staying in Cape Charles, and first time using Chesapeake properties. The management firm was amazing. I double booked accidentally, and was refunded immediately with the most friendliest attitude! The home itself is perfect for a small family, or couple. Has everything you need! Walking distance to beach, shops and restaurants. A great place to stroll and check out all of the amazing historical homes and buildings. One of the best parts of our stay, was our neighbor, who is a lifelong resident. If you stay here, please say hello, you won't be sorry! We will definetely be back and feel like we have made a friend for life! Thank you Cape Charles, and Chesapeake Properties!

Our stay at “A Shore Thing” was wonderful. The house is clean, tidy, cutely decorated but minimalist. This is an appreciated feature when traveling with two young kids (ages 7 and 11) but it might not be everyone’s taste. While dated, it is in good, working condition. The house had just about everything we needed - washer/dryer did well (leave the closet door open when using the dryer for better airflow), coffeemaker, water filter, iron/ironing board, bed rails and large fan in closets. The kids were excited about the XBox (older version) but we were unable to get it to work. All was well because the internet was good for all of our devices on the rainy days. Otherwise, at two blocks from the beach, we were there or down at the pier fishing. Other reviewers mentioned ants but we had zero show up during our week here and stored our pantry items on microwave or on the fridge. The Location of this House is perfect with a quick walk to the beach, park, or Mason Ave to shops and restaurants. The one big thing that would be a nice change is a cover or awning on the beautiful back deck to allow extra outdoor seating as it is about the one house in town without a covered porch for sitting. In spite of that, we hope to return next year to this house as it was perfect for us and our expectations. We also enjoyed meeting Ms. Patty next door - a local that we made fast friends with. I highly recommend A Shore Thing - just don’t take our week! :)
