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 more than helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The scape worked for what we needed but wasn’t fully and properly cleaned. Property was very obviously not fully vacuumed upon our arrival. The house also seemed to be in some disrepair, shower head handle was loose, some doors missing knobs/loose, door frames shifted (leaving gaps when doors closed). In addition it seemed to be quite dangerous that all the glass on windows and doors was single pane and not tempered.

Lovely spot for two families (two couples, three kids total) to spend a few days exploring Cape Charles. Fantastic communication with rental agency and a well-appointed, gorgeous old home, would absolutely stay here again. One of the adult bedrooms is connected to the kids’ room, however you can come and go through a cute little winding staircase that attaches to the kitchen so you don’t have to go through the kids’ room to enter and exit… but, would be an issue for someone with motility challenges! We thought it was fun. The house is in a nice location on a quiet, historic street… definitely recommend renting a golf cart for getting to and from the beach as it’s just under a mile. Property is clean and well-maintained, only minor issue is the downstairs bathroom doorknob needs to be secured. Cute touches like the owners’ paintings of local places and the string lights out back make it feel very special!

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: Fun in the Sun was the perfect house for our family of 5 plus my sister and her husband. The library was the perfect size for the baby's pack n play. The mattresses were AMAZING! Rental houses and their ****** mattresses have become the bane of my existence so I was pleasantly surprised to sleep on the memory foam mattresses at Fun in the Sun. THANK YOU OWNERS for putting some extra money into decent mattresses. Overall this house was really comfortable, decorated beautifully and I hope we will be back. If I had to pick on thing to improve, the kitchen is dark at night and could use more lighting.
