About this house rental
Cape Serendipity - we found it by chance and stayed because we love it! We are sure you will feel the same! This 2 story duplex home is in the heart of historic Cape Charles, a block from the park and only a few blocks from the beach. We have 3 bedrooms ready for up to 8 guests, a bath restored with an amazing antique claw foot tub, a new 2nd bathroom on the 1st floor, and a new back deck with outdoor dining. Packing will be easy because we have your beach and baby gear already here for your use. Check out our sister property Cape Utopia (the other side of the duplex) if you need more space.

We enjoyed our stay at this duplex. It has tons of historic charm. The beds are extremely comfortable. Everyone slept great! We especially liked having a king sized bed in the master.
The kitchen is well stocked but doesn’t have a dishwasher which wasn’t an issue for us. We enjoyed our mornings on the front porch and loved the proximity to the park. Overall a very enjoyable stay.

This was our 5th visit to Cape Charles and we have stayed at different properties each time. We spent 5 nights at Cape Serendipity with our family of 5 in June 2024. We very much appreciated the modern bathrooms, strong air conditioning, plentiful hot water for showers, and comfortable beds. The house was also very well-stocked in terms of beach gear and toiletries (we didn't cook much so can't speak to the kitchen, but it certainly had everything we needed). The house was spotless when we arrived. My only note for future renters: the two smaller bedrooms get a lot of natural light but don't have thick drapes, so if you have kids who go to bed early, I'd recommend bringing temporary stick-on shades in the summer. Thanks for a great stay!

We loved our stay at Cape Serendipity. Elizabeth was readily available during the check-in process, and the home was clean and well stocked. Our kids, 8 and 6, really enjoyed the nearby park. The beach was also in walking distance, and we loved the sunsets in the evening.

We had a great trip to Cape Charles. The house was perfect for our two kids and dog. You're walking distance to everything at Cape Serendipity and the beach was still pleasant in October and great for the kids with the water being so shallow. They had a pack and play, child gate, and a high chair there already! The only thing that could have made the stay better would have been blackout curtains. The kids were up with the sun each morning, but that did help us enjoy our trip to the fullest! We highly recommend this house!

We chose Cape Serendipity because of it's central location to the beach, bars/restaurants and the park for the Saturday night concert. It did not disappoint! We were pleasantly surprised at the spacious rooms, the lovely back porch, and how well supplied it was. Elizabeth was very helpful with several logistics as we prepared to ride our bicycles from Snow Hill, MD to Cape Charles for the weekend. It was a great value and we would definitely stay again!

We loved our relaxing stay at Cape Serendipity -- such a charming historic home. The home offered so many thoughtful amenities throughout, and it has a newly added extra bathroom on the main floor, which was super convenient for our kids. Thanks for your wonderful hospitality!

We loved this house! It had so much character, was very clean and comfortable. They left us some wine and coffee too! We had a wonderful stay and absolutely would return!
Only thing I might say is this house is not baby proofed for a toddler. Our granddaughter was not crawling yet so it was no problem.
4.8
Well maintained old 1/2 house with nice amenities and thoughtful extras; ideal for a couple or small family with young kids. An easy 10-12 minute walk to the beach.
The one bathroom is nicely equipped with both tub and shower, but it is just one bathroom and that may be an issue for larger groups.
We were briefly locked out due to dead batteries in the keypad, but Property Manager Elizabeth came to our rescue and all was promptly resolved.
All in All, Cape Serendipity was a wonderful place to stay for this couple and our two dogs!

The house is a lovely and quaint house with great accommodations for young children. The furniture
is also comfortable. We enjoyed sitting on the front
porch also. It was a very relaxed atmosphere. Being so close to the park is also a benefit.
The caretaker was immediately available when we had a
situation that needed attention in the house.

Perfect for a family
The house was even better than imagined, there was everything our family needed and it was beautiful at the same time. The bathroom being on the 2nd floor wasn’t an issue for our family. The living space is nice and separate from the bedrooms so we didn’t disturb the kids while playing games at night. We would love to come back!

Charming duplex
The check in was very easy and property very clean. Unfortunately we had to deal with a leak from shower thru kitchen ceiling but a quick text conversation with properly manager allowed us to remedy it with a rolled towel. Very cute design decisions throughout led for conveniences. And it was fully stocked with lots of items that made for a comfy stay! We shared the duplex with my sister but even if we didn’t know the neighbors there were curtains separating the porch for privacy. Comfy soft beds and TVs in every room. Right near park! We would stay again.

Convenient and ideal place for a family to relax
This was our second time staying at this property and we really appreciated the new upgrades--outdoor table, new kitchen table, mini-splits in the bedrooms. The house has everything you need to entertain kids and go to the beach (sand toys, bubbles, beach chairs, etc.). It is convenient to everything in town and one block away from the park which has a nice jungle gym to play on.

Family vacation
Neighborhood and house were amazing. A little further from the beach then we realized. Next time we would rent a golf cart for sure . Only thing with very small children you have to be careful because they have ALOT of stuff everywhere . Overall we enjoyed our stay and would stay here again. Cape Charles is a beautiful town and the owners of the house were great at communicating.

Wonderful house!!
My little family and I really enjoyed staying in Cape Serendipity. It's such a sweet house and it was perfect for us! It even had a little potty seat for the kiddos. :) Hope we can stay again next year!

This is a great, spacious house in the center of town. We had issues with the heater and the owner was very responsive and got a service call in that very night. The home was well stocked with anything you might need. The water would not get warm in the bath, so if staying in colder months (like us) or for longer than a weekend, consider inquiring about that before your trip.

Had a great trip to Cape Charles. The property was exactly as described. For us, the front porch was the the highlight of the property. We were able to enjoy coffee in the morning and a quiet evening while reading. Inside, the mini-split A/C system kept the house extremely comfortable. The master bedroom has a very comfy bed and the kitchen has everything you'll need.
The property manager is very responsive to anything you'll need. After staying at this property, it made us want to visit Cape Charles again next season.

The house itself is lovely, everything was clean and all the necessary dishes/towels/beach toys were there! The house is 5 country blocks from a very quiet beach with lots of space. We drove to the beach but there is plenty of free parking. The owner was easy to communicate with and the overall experience was just charming. If you are looking for a quiet beach getaway this is it. We brought 4 children under 8 and they were entertained the entire time.
