Getting Around:
Cape Charles is located near the southern tip of Virginia’s Eastern Shore right on the Chesapeake Bay. Cape Charles is a small town (the historic area is roughly a six block by six block square) that sits on the peninsula’s western coast… meaning you can sit on the beach in Cape Charles and watch the sunset right over the water. On the Chesapeake Bay, not the Atlantic Ocean, the water is calm and shallow. The picturesque town of Cape Charles is filled with Americana, all about family and beautiful surroundings, voted one of the Happiest Seaside Towns by Coastal Living. Let the beach be your playground! Check out the walkable retail district, schedule a tee time at one of Bay Creek's award-winning golf courses, or take a water adventure for fishing and cruising.

Coastal Charmer was the perfect house for our 4 night stay in Cape Charles. The large kitchen was perfect for my wife and daughter to spend time together preparing the fantastic meals that we had. The house had everything that we needed and is a very short walk to the waterfront and downtown area.

We stayed here for Thanksgiving week to spend with my daughter who lives in Cape, Charles and her family. We love that you can walk if you’re where you wanna go, whether you looking for a good coffee something nice to eat or just taking in the sides of the beautiful town.Coastal Charmer, was everything we hoped for during our stay.It is well appointed and so comfortable. It feels like a home away from home away from home.

My family and I stayed in this cottage for a wedding weekend. We had a wonderful time! The house was the perfect size for our family with room to spare. We loved sitting on the front porch to drink coffee in the morning and relax after staying up late for wedding activities. On Sunday we walked to breakfast and had fun shopping. The location was so convenient. We will definitely stay here again for another wedding next year.

The house was overall good! Our first day was met with upstairs AC that wasn’t working, so that it took about 4 hours to repair. There was quite a mess from all the drilling. The upstairs tub didn’t drain, so we used the downstairs shower during our stay. We enjoyed the size of the kitchen and dining room, and the location of the house was nice.
6.0 / 10.0
We’ve been coming to Cape Charles for about 6 years now, and this was our least favorite property that we’ve stayed in. The location is great and the house is generally nice (the kitchen is especially great). The four bedrooms were nice for our family of 5. But we had multiple issues that were quite inconvenient, especially considering the cost of stay. The upstairs bathroom tub drain was clogged (property mgmt resolved this with Drano when we notified them). The downstairs bathroom shower was infested with small flying bugs and the shower was completely unusable. Property mgmt came and treated with bug spray, which didn’t resolve the problem but left horrible toxic fumes for the remainder of the week. So the downstairs bathroom was basically unusable. There were also ants throughout the kitchen and laundry area when we arrived. While the house has AC, two of the upstairs bedrooms do not have any sort of air flow and it was very warm at night. Even an oscillating fan would be a huge improvement. We had a couple other minor inconveniences that I won’t bother listing, but we were disappointed and I don’t think we’ll return to this property in the future.

Our stay in Cape Charles was delightful. Our property, Coastal Charmer, was spacious, comfortable, clean and well equipped.The backyard had a fire pit and plenty of space for outside dining. The beach was perfect for family fun. We found the shops to be inviting. Chesapeake Properties was most helpful with questions and one minor tech blip.We definitely will return.

Had a few minor items that required maintenance man's assistance, but were resolved within the first hour we were there. Really appreciated how close we were to the beach. And loved the outdoor shower. Don't know why any beach house would not have one. Extremely close to all the shops and restaurants. Just 2 blocks from the main street.

This is our second Summer in Coastal Charmer, and once it again it didn't disappoint. Can't beat being just over a block from the beach and from shops so location is spot on. Love the space, the amenities and since we decided to cook more at home this year, the kitchen-eating space was exactly what we needed. Already have a hold on it for next year! Thank you Coastal Charmer and Chesapeake Properties for a nice stay!

Our family stayed at this property for Thanksgiving for the last two years. We enjoyed preparing meals in the spacious kitchen, playing board games, walking to the beach for spectacular sunsets and spending quality family time by the outdoor fire pit. Love the location, Cape Charles holiday traditions and the homes lovely decor.

Loved the Walk to the Beach! Cost to rent for a day on the high side during Pandemic could be lower. Family time well spent over the weekend. Highly recommend for family reunion and other opportunities. Burner: Cost included for customer to pay for cleaning although we cleaned the house before leaving $200 not fair.

We rented this house for a family vacation with extended family. It fit us all perfectly and is in a great, close to the beach and Mason Ave location. This is the third house we have rented in Cape Charles over the past few years and is one of our favorites, particularly the lovely front porch, well-appointed kitchen, and back yard with tons of seating options.
The only downside is that most of the mattresses were terribly uncomfortable and springy, especially the queen bedroom at the top of the steps which is coated in some kind of plastic covering. I (a married adult) ended up sleeping on the bottom of one of the bunk beds with my kids. The house could benefit from an actual vacuum cleaner (a dust buster on a stick is provided), a larger trash can in the kitchen and an extra garbage can outside as it was already full from the previous renters when we checked for our vacation (trash is picked up on Tuesdays).

The kitchen was well stocked with dishes, pans etc. with plenty of seating. Everything seemed well maintained. We didn't use the backyard but it was a great set up with a table, fire pit, chairs etc. The front porch was so inviting and a great place to sit and enjoy the weather. The heat/AC worked well so the house was very comfortable (the beds were not, however. The protective mattress covering was noisy/crinkly.) One frustration was that the wagon that was supposed to be provided was broken. I contacted the management company and was told there were none available. I feel like they should have done more to find one as it was specifically cited as provided to make the walk to the beach easier. I am 8 months pregnant and ended up having to drive b/c I couldn't carry all of the beach gear. So much was closed during our stay, I wish I had realized that in the spring Mon-Wed are slow days without many entertainment/restaurant choices. It seemed like things would open up beginning Thursday. All in all it was a nice stay and I would recommend this property to anyone heading to Cape Charles.

The home was very nice, clean and in a great location--just a two block walk to the beach. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes, pans etc. with plenty of seating. Everything seemed well maintained. We didn't use the backyard but it was a great set up with a table, fire pit, chairs etc. The front porch was so inviting and a great place to sit and enjoy the weather. The heat/AC worked well so the house was very comfortable (the beds were not, however. The protective mattress covering was noisy/crinkly.) One frustration was that the wagon that was supposed to be provided was broken. I contacted the management company and was told there were none available. I feel like they should have done more to find one as it was specifically cited as provided to make the walk to the beach easier. I am 8 months pregnant and ended up having to drive b/c I couldn't carry all of the beach gear. So much was closed during our stay, I wish I had realized that in the spring Mon-Wed are slow days without many entertainment/restaurant choices. It seemed like things would open up beginning Thursday. All in all it was a nice stay and I would recommend this property to anyone heading to Cape Charles.

Girls weekend away
It was a perfect weekend away for a college girls’ reunion! It was located perfectly from the town and beach that we were able to walk everywhere. There is plenty to do with shopping, eating and relaxing.

The kitchen had everything we needed, the beds were comfortable and the house was very clean. The property manager was quick to reply when we needed something. The flies were really bad by the trash can- Is recommend some sort of fly trap. Thanks for the great stay- we’ll be back next year!

Cape Charles is our vacation destination of choice. This is the third time we have gathered children and grandchildren in a rental there and perhaps the best yet, even during a pandemic which kept us from enjoying shops and dining as much as in the past. When we return Coastal Charmer will be a high marker to meet in selecting a rental property.

Overall, we had a really great time here. The house appeared clean, has some really nice finishes, and had everything we needed. The location is great, close to everything (we had a golf cart). We had plenty of towels to get through the week. The rental company was very fast and responsive when we had trouble with the wifi password. The downsides we experienced; it was very rainy the day we arrived and there was a strong odor inside the house for the first couple of days. The neighbor is part of a cat rescue group, so there were cats all over the place outside (that wasn't a huge problem for us because our kids loved watching them). The back yard was nice, however it could have used a little tlc (grass was a little long, leaves on furniture, weeds growing).

Wonderful location in lovely Cape Charles
The front porch of the house was the perfect spot for reading and drinking a glasss of wine in the evenings. The house is a short walk to the beach and the cute downtown area. We loved the big open kitchen. It was perfect for gathering the group for dinner and had plenty of space for a few people to be preparing food at the same time. The mudroom at the back of the house was such a good spot for storing beach bags and gear out of the main areas. One thing to note is that the stairs are quite steep for very small children, but that comes with staying in a beautiful, early-20th century house.

This is our second Summer in Coastal Charmer, and once it again it didn't disappoint. Can't beat being just over a block from the beach and from shops so location is spot on. Love the space, the amenities and since we decided to cook more at home this year, the kitchen-eating space was exactly what we needed. Already have a hold on it for next year! Thank you Coastal Charmer and Chesapeake Properties for a nice stay!

Great location. Only 2 blocks from the beach. First impression walked into my dream kitchen. I wanted to cook everyday. Neighbors were friendly. Even in this day of social distances everyone waved at us and said hello. Only bad experience was the first night when we had no hot water but the management team got the service people out there by the next day and we had no other issues.
