This place was perfect for a weekend getaway at the beach. There was plenty of space for a family of 6 and the house was well appointed. Kitchen had all the basics for cooking.
The location was great- 10 min walk to the beach or an easy drive with parking available.
Would definitely recommend it!

Beautiful home located in a quiet neighborhood. Front porch rocking chairs are so relaxing and a perfect place to watch the kids play.

The home was very cute with an updated kitchen. Love the wide staircase! It was the perfect size for 4 adults and 2 little ones (2 and 5yrs). Walking distance to the park and playground.

Really enjoyed our stay for our first visit to Cape Henry. Loved looking through the book detailing the restoration of the building. The location worked well for us - just about a block from the central park, and an easy walk to the beach or all the shops and restaurants downtown. Jim was excellent with communication, check-in could not have been easier. So many nice things included with this property, pretty much anything anyone could need and more. Very happy with our stay, if we make it back to town we'll be looking at this property first.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Woodchuck! The home is exactly as advertised and well-appointed for a comfortable getaway. The upstairs temperature trends warmer than the first floor...we were there when the nights turn cool, so cracking a bedroom window did the trick. Owners were super with communication. With a golf cart (rented from a nearby business), it's an easy trip to downtown and most anywhere you'd want to go.

This was our first visit to Cape Charles and we will definitely be back. Not only did we love the town but we also absolutely loved the house. Very clean, very comfortable and just an overall great experience! Looking forward to returning!

This house was the perfect fit for out family as it had all the comforts of home and more!! We loved sitting on the front porch and chatting with the neighbors.

All the old charm and convenience of the Cape Charles historic district with a recent renovation. Spacious, open first floor with a well appointed kitchen. Plenty of board games and toys for a rainy day. On the 2nd floor, there are super comfortable mattresses in the 2 larger bedrooms. Good A/C throughout. Outside, the fire pit is great for smores. Shady trees and a big yard are great for after dinner play. East-facing front porch is a plus (cooler, shadier in evenings). The only minor drawback is that the outdoor shower isn't enclosed, so it's just for rinsing off not full showers. Amazing house. We hope to be back next year!

Charming and clean house. Felt like home from the moment we walked in. We enjoyed the spacious kitchen and comfortable bedrooms. Our 6 year old grand daughter loved the books and toys that were available for her. We spent most of our time on the back yard/patio area and at the nearby beach.

We have stayed here for two years in a row now & love this location right next to the park. It’s an easy golf cart ride to the beach as well! We also love the convenience of the outdoor shower. The house & shed had everything we needed for our week at the beach! The owners were very helpful and responsive.

I am so glad that I chose this beach house. It has everything we need (including a highchair and baby spoons, and beach toys, scooters!). It is clean and close to the beach. Cape Charles beach is less tidal than Virginia Beach or OBX, where I had to stay alert every second as I had young kids with us. Here, we are much more relaxed as the water is shallow and tranquil. I just cannot ask for more. BTW, the playground nearby was a hit too for my three kids.
Jim and Rebecca are responsive and accommodating. You can see they care about the visitor's experience. They want you to feel at home. We came to celebrate my daughter's birthday - Jim and Rebecca left us a lovely happy birthday note with snacks - how sweet! I also love the little album introducing before and after of the house.
My 8yo boy cried before we left because he didn't want to leave. And we promised him we would come back next summer!!
Thank you, Jim and Rebecca, for making our family trip unforgettable.

We went to Cape Charles for a wedding and had a great time! The home has everything a family needs for a home away from home--even a potato peeler! The fact that I didn't have to bring everything with me or buy something I'd only use once, was great. The owners really have thought of everything!
The only two 'issues' are small and easily addressed. First, the house is warmer upstairs. I didn't dare touch the thermostat (looked too complicated). Downstairs was really cold and upstairs several degrees warmer. The ceiling fans in the rooms help a lot. Maybe change the filter in the upstairs vent in the hallway or have an HVAC person make sure the venting is clear.
Second, the cleaning crew should take care to remove the big spider webs as you come down the stairs and in the corners of most rooms. A quick flick of a Swiffer and problem solved.
THANK YOU for creating such a lovely space for my family!

This was our second time staying in this home. It was excellent, as usual. Clean house, well stocked kitchen, and convenient amenities (shed, outside shower, patio, etc.). Owner even provided things like beach toys, chairs, beach towels, cart, two bikes, and fishing rods. Only a few blocks from the beach. Pleasant neighbor, quiet street, and space for kids to run around. Owner was easy to get a hold of….. responsive and easy going. Would love to stay here again!

This house is great and suits our needs perfectly. My one request would be another lamp in the blue room that is jack and jill with the bathroom. Otherwise, a great property!

Great Stay!
My mom, my two kids and I had a fantastic week here. When we arrived it was pouring rain and we were able to check in early. There were tons of games for all ages. A very family friendly house. The outdoor shower was great to keep the sand at bay. Would definitely recommend this house!

Wonderful stay!
My family of 4 had an amazing time at this home in Cape Charles. It had everything we needed, from beach toys to cornhole to an outdoor fire pit. We rented a golf cart for the entire week and it was an easy 3-minute drive - so convenient! The home was clean, the beds were comfortable, and the covered front porch was the perfect place to enjoy our morning coffee while our kids played hopscotch on the sidewalk. We will definitely be back!

Fantastic as always
This was our third time at the Woodchuck and it was fantastic as always! Clean. Great location and all the amenities needed for a wonderful beach week. The shed is filled with beach gear which is fantastic. And the house is super clean.

Amazing stay in Cape Charles
We had a really great week at this property in Cape Charles. Furnished with absolutely everything we could have needed, and having a toddler, loved the toys and games around that she could play with.
Great size for a family and the outdoor space was an added bonus.
Close to Central Park and just a 5 minute walk or quick car or golf cart ride to the beach!
Would absolutely stay here again in Cape Charles!

Wonderful home
We came done to see an old friend that had some health issues. The house was perfect for us, clean, spacious, in a good neighborhood very quiet and yet close to everything. The bedrooms were perfect as well as the rest of the house. It had everything that we needed to have a lovely few days without any stress involved. Everything that we needed in terms of appliances, cooking and serving supplies, TVs, outdoor entertainment and ample parking. The home was easily accessible to a few friends that stopped for short visits. All in all it was a very successful trip back down to the Shore allowing us to see our friend along with a few others that we had know over the years while living there before moving back up North. I highly recommend the home for business , pleasure or for attending an event requiring a stay over We went to the Garden Tour that Saturday and thoroughly enjoyed it then out to dinner in one of the many restaurants available on the Shore. Thank you to the owners for renovating and renting their lovely home to us. T. Loring

Quaint and comfortable
It was centrally located to things that interest me and my family. Loved the fact that we could walk or bike to most activities. My adult son is disabled so the fact that he was able to ride his bike without fear of harm was huge to me and my husband.

Nice location
The house was very nice and clean. Plenty of space inside and out. Fantastic home theater.
The location was great, turn right and downtown is a few blocks away turn left and the beach is a few blocks away. A golf cart was a great way to get around.

Excellent experience
The “Woodchuck” provided us with a great place to stay on a wedding weekend in Cape Charles. It was close to everything for the wedding which was great. We absolutely loved everything about this house: the fully stocked kitchen, the comfy beds, the style and spacious living areas. Very child friendly, which was great for us! If we were ever to be in the area again we would choose this house again. Thank you for a great time “Woodchuck”.

Perfect house and location
This was one of the best rentals we have ever stayed in for a vacation. The house was clean, well equipped for cooking and going to the beach, and had a great layout. We rented a golf cart for the week, perfect for trips downtown and to the beach (although they are also walkable from the house). Our daughter loved the nearby playground as well.

Great house
My family (2 adults, 2 children) had an excellent stay at this house. It is just as advertised - spacious, newly renovated, and spotlessly clean,. Well stocked with linens, dishes, and all other essentials. The large TV, with its various apps, all worked well. Check-in was very easy. Owner was very responsive. While the house is slightly outside what some might consider the tourist core of Cape Charles, and in an area where every third house looks dilapidated (this is a juxtaposition found throughout town), it's a close enough walk to the main street, the beach, and to my kids' delight, the excellent Central Park and playground. Would stay here again.

Amazing Location! Great for Families.
We had never been to Cape Charles, but we’re attracted to the area based on a family friend recommendation. We have a 2 and 4 year old and the location of the property couldn’t have been more perfect. It was close to the beach, town, and park for the kids to stay. The property is updated and historical. We couldn’t have been happier and will be back!

Wonderful beach week!
We loved our stay here! The place was clean and the owners put a lot of work into the feel of the place. Everything felt new and it was definitely family friendly. It was a close walk to the beach and the park. The owners were very responsive and even bought some baby gates for the stairs. We all had a wonderful time!

Memorable Stay in Cape Charles!
We had a wonderful stay in the beautifully restored “The Woodchuck”! The house was comfortable, clean, and well-appointed for our young family with everything we needed. The location was also perfect — quiet street but just a short walk to downtown, the beach, and the community park. Smooth process from booking to check out. We highly recommend this property for a stay in Cape Charles!
