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: This is the second time we stayed at Blue Bay and it was just as wonderful as ever. The house is fantastic for family gatherings. The location right on the beach is the absolute best. The wonderful historic district is within walking/golf carting/biking distance. The house is well maintained and well equipped with a large kitchen and table space for everyone. The upstairs porch overlooks the beach and some of the most beautiful sunsets I have ever seen. There are beach chairs and towels and the rental company is the absolute best. They not only include linens but put them on the beds! There are shower and kitchen supplies - you don't have to bring or buy any of that! And then check out is essentially take out the trash and turn off the lights! How easy is that? We LOVE this place and will be back!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This house and our stay was amazing! It was the perfect size for our work retreat. The view from the 2nd floor deck was incredible for sunsets. The house was incredibly clean upon arrival and well-appointed, and the beach access right across the street was fantastic. Just one note: don't put any tall people on the 3rd floor as the ceilings are really low. ;-)

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: Each year, our family migrates to Cape Charles, and we are so grateful that Blue Bay is part of our tradition! The location is the best in Cape Charles and the house is very clean with a stocked kitchen and little amenities you'd find in a hotel. This house pretty much embodies our family vacation, and our kids have grown up coming here. So grateful to the owner for sharing their little slice of heaven each year...the oldest daughter is graduating high school in three summers and I hope we can keep coming back to this house once she's away at college! Love Blue Bay!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. 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: We enjoyed our stay at Blue Bay. The most perfect location one could hope for in Cape Charles! We loved the sunsets on the deck. The house was clean and beautiful. I'm sure the owner will make some of the suggested repairs. It needs a new refrigerator with ice and water. Also the deck floor needs repair. It should be noted that anyone over 6'2 feet should not try to stay on the 3rd floor unless they want to bang their head frequently. Put the kids up there.

Blue Bay was perfectly located to enjoy not only the beach, but the town of Cape Charles. It is conveniently located to shopping and dining. The home is beautifully furnished and decorated, providing ample space for our group of ladies celebrating a milestone birthday. Perhaps our favorite place at Blue Bay was the second story deck, where we enjoyed the beautiful sunsets. We hope to visit again!
