About this house rental
Less than a block from the Cape Charles beach, “Sea Gate” is a 5 bedroom, 7 bathroom (4 full & 3 1/2) spacious home that sleeps 12. Guests can enjoy the salt breezes while lounging on the home’s beautiful front porch in comfy rockers or enjoy the side patio while having lunch at the picnic table.
When stepping into “Sea Gate,” you will be greeted by both the ambiance of historic Cape Charles and by an architecturally-unique home, beautifully decorated, furnished and equipped as a comfortable modern home.
About the first floor: Entrance into the home is into a large foyer with a grand piano. Off the foyer to the left is the living room which is well-furnished and includes comfortable, theater-style seating (built-in recliners). A living room door opens to a light-filled, glassed-in Florida room, with a spiral staircase leading to an upper-level sun porch/sitting room. Just off the living room is a powder room and the well-equipped kitchen with a breakfast nook and a desk. The kitchen was remodeled in 2021 with new appliances! Off the foyer to the right is a beautiful dining room with a dining room table which accommodates eight. The dining room opens to another lovely glassed-in porch with tables accommodating ten.
About the second floor: The second floor has four bedrooms furnished with Queen beds, TVs and desks. Two of these bedrooms have their own full bath with a shower. The other two bedrooms have a half bath and access to a hallway full bath with a bathtub/shower.
About the third floor: The third floor has a large children’s room (and game room). This space is fully equipped with many games and game tables, including arcade games & a foosball table. It’s highly entertaining & will keep the kids busy while the parents relax! This room includes alcoves, a sofa, beds that will sleep four, and a full bathroom with a shower.
Location: Not only is “Sea Gate” a wonderful home for a relaxing and enjoying a memorable vacation, but it also offers one of the best locations in Cape Charles for vacationers because they can easily walk to the beach and boardwalk as well as the to the fishing pier to enjoy the scenery or fish and crab day or night. “Sea Gate’s” location is also within easy walking-biking-golf carting distance of many amenities, including the quaint boutiques for shopping, yummy restaurants, bakeries & specialty shops, miniature golf and so much more to make your vacation a memorable one.

Let me preface this by saying we had a great time at Sea Gate. The house is quirky and charming in old house fashion, BUT it is not large family friendly. Our group of 8 found only one spot where we all could gather -- around the dining room table. Also, need to change promotional pix: Sleep couch not there, and much of the furniture is different. A few changes -- get rid of unusable grand piano and organ and replace with comfy chairs!

We loved our stay here! Location was perfect, super close to beach as well as shops on the main street. We appreciated all the beautiful furnishings, and the well-appointed kitchen that had everything you could possibly need. We also loved the enclosed backyard for our dog and all the little nooks and crannies where people could hang out.

The house was perfect, even better than what was shown online. Kitchen was stocked with everything you need to cook anything! Kids loved their attic getaway from the adults in the house! We had our pets with us and the fenced backyard was perfect! A quick walk to beach and town all added up to a great family vacation! Thank you so much!!!

This is our 5th year at Seagate! The home is charming, and filled with all the amenities that you could ask for. The location is also perfect as it’s close to the beach and close to the downtown area. We’re looking forward to our visit next year!

Property had a great location and was clean. We loved the proximity to the beach, the kids loved the third floor. Queen beds on second floor could use better mattresses and or bed frames as they were wobbly and not real comfortable. Shower heads were a bit low for the adults. We enjoyed our stay though and would come back to this house again.

We have just fallen in love with the quiet of this small town in the winter. This house had personality which we loved and was perfect for a family of dog lovers.

Stunning, spacious property -- excellent for groups with great rooms and bathrooms for all.
This is such an amazing home! So many charming rooms, and so much space for a group of adults to stay together, while also having plenty of space to themselves. It is short, delightful walk to the beach and also to the main street, which is filled with delightful shops. The host is a great communicator. This will likely become an annual outing for us.

Perfect summer home
The house is an older Victorian (c 1912), and it was an absolute delight to stay there and explore the house. There are tons of rooms and spaces, multiple indoor and outdoorporches to sit, talk, read, and relax. The house was exceptionally well stocked with more beach chairs and accessories than we could possibly need, any cooking gadget and spice you could think of, movies, games, books, etc. There were 2 refridgerators, with more than enough space for us. Neighborhood is perfect - many similar 100+ year old Victorians, which were all gorgeous and well maintained. Location was likewise perfect - literally one block to the beach. We were also a 1 minute walk to Mason Street, which has a multitude of fantastic little shops, restaurants, galleries, bakeries, etc. We couldn't have been happier with the house and would definitely come back in the future

Sea Gate was fun!
We enjoyed our stay at Sea Gate and the Cape Charles community. We were very close to the water, just a one block golf cart drive away or an easy walk.
The home was very clean and stocked with any and all cooking utensils we needed in addition to floats and a paddle board.
The one disappointment was the TV’s in the bedrooms did not work. Possibly the rental company might have helped but we were ok without them.
Overall, we were very pleased with our experience.

Great Escape at Sea Gate
Sea Gate provided the perfect backdrop for a fun weekend with old friends celebrating a birthday. Property is conveniently located one block to the beach. It's obvious that this home is well-loved as it is outfitted with anything you could possibly imagine that you might need. It was once a bed and breakfast and is well furnished with lots of eclectic goodies, books, games, you name it, to dig into. The back yard is also fenced which is excellent. Other perks - two refrigerators, a great front porch, lots of places to hang out, cornhole, foosball and a stand up arcade on the top floor. We barely saw the kids. The property manager, Doug, is super friendly and responsive. We hope to make our visit a tradition. We'll see. Now don't steal our weekend, folks!

Perfect Family Vacation
We had the best time in this house. It was so close to the beach. They had beach chairs, towels and a cart to bring all of our stuff with us. It was so helpful. There was plenty of room for all 4 families and 4 kids under 6. We are already talking about when we will book again for next year. We had a great time! The property manager was also very quick to answer all my questions and let us check in early because the house was already clean and ready for us. It was so nice!

We’ll Be Back!
We had the best time! It was a little difficult to talk ourselves into leaving the front porch to go do anything because the porch was so awesome. Having the beach only a block away was very convenient. When our coffee maker broke, they had a working one there for us so quickly! Can’t wait to come back.

The perfect getaway!
The photos definitely don’t do this property justice! It’s lovely, yet so comfortable and well-located. It’s perfect for a large or more than one family, with at least a half bath in each room. We had no idea to expect so many accessories and definitely overpacked bringing our own. The backyard was spacious and perfect for kids with tetherball. The block is great for scooters or bikes as well and just a hop down to the beach!

A Family Haven
With our growing family it’s been tough to find a place where we can all be together to eat, laugh, rest and just enjoy each other’s company in comfort. Sea Gate was absolutely perfect for us. Being in this beautiful, spacious and gracious home felt wonderful. This early 20th century home offered a much needed respite from our 21st century concerns and was very well equipped with the conveniences we’ve come to expect in our own homes. (The extra large fridge on the porch was a great bonus for this family of foodies.) And being just a few houses from the beach and a couple of short blocks from shops and restaurants was wonderfully convenient. We truly felt at home there and look forward to another stay in the not too distant future.

Fantastic House & Location
Repeat visitors to this wonderful 1912 historic Victorian. One block from the beach. jSit on the porch and waive to a neighbor or enjoy backyard privacy and fire place. House also offers plenty of games, books, beach needs so don't over pack. Upstairs a delight for kids sleeping and playing. Eat formal or casual and enjoy breakfast in the nook. HVAC updated so meets all seasons. We'll be back again and again.

Sea Gate Review 8/1/20 - 8/8/20
Location to downtown and proximity to the beach were excellent. Plenty of room for 7. A lot of full baths but shower stalls are very small. Kitchen needs some updating. Stove top elements are angled to the point that everything slides to the low side of pan, and refrigerator leaks to the point that the floor has pools of water multiple times daily, and the bottom shelf is always flooded. Both stove and fridge should be replaced. Previous reviews mentioned the refrigerator leaking and stove issues. Excessive vegetation in the front yard, acts as a mosquito magnet, thus preventing us from enjoying the front porch, especially for morning coffee. Overall, we genuinely enjoyed our week in Cape Charles.
