Stella Blu features the historic charm of Cape Charles while providing modern amenities! This elegant home is located less than a block from the beach, offers a porch and balcony to watch the boats come in over the harbor, and is just steps from all of the action downtown.

Upon entrance, you're welcomed by a beautiful foyer that draws you into the main living room. An open concept allows you to entertain between the living room, dining room, and the main event - the kitchen. If you are a cook, you will never want to leave this space! The downstairs is complete with a half bath, laundry room, and a large screened in back deck.

Upstairs on the second floor, a primary bedroom greets you with a luxurious king bed and a view of the harbor with so much natural light. A private balcony is the perfect spot to enjoy a peaceful cup of coffee in the morning taking in the sunrise, or invite your family up for a cocktail at sunset! The bathroom includes a claw-foot tub, large tiled shower, and two separate granite vanities. Two more bedrooms await, both with equally as comfortable queen beds and a charming jack-and-jill bathroom. The third floor is perfect for another couple or the kids! This bedroom includes two built in full beds, a queen bed, and a full bath. The kids will love having their own space to hang out!

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.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I rented Stella Blu for the location but was thrilled with the condition of the home. It is a beautiful home that has been tastefully decorated and totally renovated. The welcome gift, owner's guidebook to Cape Charles, and live plants were special touches I hadn't expected but thoroughly enjoyed. The owners have included everything you could ever need for your vacation. The garage was awesome for storing the golf cart and beach gear. My only recommendation would be a dresser or closet in the main bedroom since the rental requirement is a week. We loved Stella Blu!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My entire group was raving about this place. We loved having so much room for our four kids and four adults. The kids particularly liked the little alcove beds in the loft, and playing in the open area in the foyer. The adults were big fans of the screen porch as a place to break for lunch during a day at the beach. We also loved the huge, well-stocked kitchen and the unbeatable location — a block from the beach and a block from shops and restaurants. The only improvements we’d like to see are a deep clean of the showers, more plastic cups for kids in the kitchen, and a place to hang clothes in the primary bedroom. Overall, it is clearly well cared for, beautifully decorated and with lots of thoughtful touches that we appreciated. We will absolutely be back!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had an amazing stay at Stella Blu for a quick escape! We highly recommend this lovely, spacious home to all that have a large family, book clubs, board retreats and more. The fit and finish were top notch. The third-floor bunk room was a real surprise with cozy beds in the alcoves and a full bathroom making it fun for all ages. We especially enjoyed the second-floor front balcony overlooking the harbor and allowing a magnificent sunset view. We made many memories and will book the Stella Blu again!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was our second year at Stella Blu and we again enjoyed our stay. Location for shopping and restaurants is prime. View could be better but is not a deal breaker. Concrete plant is noisy at times and in close proximity to the property (and view). Close to the beach which we loved. Stocked nicely (kitchen) and appreciated the fan in the primary bedroom. Furniture has definitely seen better days and very noticeable wear and tear since our last renting. Chesapeake Realty are great to work with and highly recommend them. Overall a positive experience at Stella Blu for our family of 6 adults and 5 children.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was our first time to Cape Charles and Stella Blu was the PERFECT home for our multigenerational family vacation. It was close the beach and town, views of the Harbor and Bay were AMAZING, multiple porches and patio provided extra living space and there was plenty of parking. Loved having a charging station in the garage. Linens seemed to be of upgraded quality and there were plenty of nice appliances plus a pantry for all the food!! We are so thankful to have had the Stella Blu experience!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Booking this gorgeous home was an easy experience and Nolan couldn't have been more helpful. The location in town was perfect - walking distance to water, beach and town and we had the best time tooling around town in our rented golf cart. The house size was perfect for the 8 of us and my three children loved having the third floor to themselves. Fully stocked and updated kitchen. We would have loved to have the screens in the windows to enjoy the breeze at night, but understood that the weather warmed up quickly the week we arrived. Feel in love with this town and look forward to visiting again.
