About this house rental
This bright, new vacation rental in historic downtown Cape Charles offers all the comforts and conveniences of home so you can focus on enjoying your time away. The house is a fully updated open plan home with a modern, well-stocked kitchen and comfortable living space. The front porch is a perfect place to drink your morning coffee or enjoy a cocktail before sunset.
On the second level, the primary bedroom has a King bed and large en suite bathroom with walk in shower, double vanity and walk-in closet. The spacious second bedroom has a Queen bed and is steps away from a full bath, also with double vanity. A full-size washer and dryer are conveniently located on the second level. The house can sleep up to 7, as there is also a full-size futon and half-bath in the downstairs den with a privacy screen available and a twin rollaway bed in the second bedroom.
The den leads to a sun deck and large backyard with a fire pit and Adirondack chairs. A brand-new gas grill and yard games make for a perfect evening. Beach chairs, beach towels, beach umbrella, and a rolling cooler make for a fun day at the beach, to be followed by a refreshing rinse in the roomy and clean outdoor shower. There are four adult bikes available (at your own risk) for pedaling down to the beach and to the shops and restaurants on Mason Avenue.
Cape Charles is on the Chesapeake Bay and is known for its beautiful sunsets. It’s a small town, but with lots to do, including kayaking, fishing, crabbing, playing on the beach, swimming, golfing, and visiting the nearby Cape Charles Nature Preserve, Kiptopeke State Park, and Eastern Shore National Wildlife Refuge. Downtown there are adorable boutiques, a quirky bookstore in an old gas station, an Irish pub, and a beach bar on the marina. Recent additions include a distillery and a brewery on the road into town. Easy day trips include Virginia Beach, Norfolk/Newport News, Chincoteague/Assateague, and Onancock.

extremely clean and well maintained home, a quick golf cart drive away from the beach. It had all the amenities for our stay, from kitchen utensils to beach equipment. They let us get into the unit a bit earlier than expected, which was very helpful. The only thing we couldnt find was an extension cord for the golf carts we rented, we could have probably called and asked but didnt feel like bothering anyone.

We spent our first vacation together as a family in 2 years in Cape Charles at this lovely rental. There was plenty of space for the four of us including 2 adult daughters. The beach was great and both beach and town are an easy walk away. The house has many extras - kitchen has everything you would need and the finishings and furnishings are really nice. We appreciated the beach accessories so much - chairs, umbrella, extra towels. Beautiful and thoughtfully appointed rental. We would love to return.

Wonderful Cape Charles Property
This was our second trip to Cape Charles and this property was absolutely perfect for our family. Location was on a quiet street, about 3 long blocks away from the beach, which was perfect. Another 5 short blocks the other direction to the downtown area and we got ice cream from a different place every night. The property was bigger, cleaner and quite frankly better than the pictures suggested. Rooms were large, beds comfortable, and bathrooms all new and spotless. We loved the huge, and well stocked, kitchen with the eating area off to the side - perfect for our family of four. We'll absolutely be booking again!

The property description was accurate. It was a great location, walkable to town, the beach and the local park which had a great playground. Our kids also enjoyed biking everywhere. The property was clean and the kitchen so well-supplied, it was perfect for the holidays. Our rental agent did everything she could to make our stay go smoothly. I’d definitely recommend this property to others.

We loved discovering Cape Charles and enjoyed every minute in this beautiful, newly renovated, super clean home. The open layout was great for vacation time spent hanging out. Beds are very comfortable. Lovely bathrooms. Enjoyed the outdoor shower. Used the back deck and the grill quite a bit, but also really enjoyed sitting on the front porch people watching. Jealous of the neighbor’s hot tub :) Everything in Cape Charles is walkable, so this was a great location.Would definitely recommend renting a golf cart, though, bc that was a lot of fun! Arrived after hours and it was very easy to pick the key up from the box at the management company, but a door code lock would be even easier and would mean you don’t have to keep track of a key. Have recommended the house to friends!

Pros: Great property; nicer than photos for sure. Great sight lines from kitchen to dining area & living room. Very nice bathrooms; bright sunny home, well decorated and very well stocked kitchen/games/bikes/beach cargo. Loved our stay there and will return.
Cons: Having to stop at realty office for key / check-in not as convenient as other VRBO properties. Also, no instructions for addressing recycling so we left that on back porch did not want to mix it with trash.
