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.

My best friend and I took our daughters (ages 4, 7, and 8) to Cape Charles for vacation. This was the perfect place to stay! We are already planning to take a trip back there!!

The home is absolutely gorgeous! I would recommend renting with younger kids. The whale room doesn’t have room for much luggage, so it was perfect for my little ones!! I’ve emailed a few times about the property and haven’t heard back. There is only one tv in the house on the main floor if that is a factor for your family! The location can’t be beat. You can walk to the playground/fields, or be on Mason Ave within a couple blocks. We loved our short stay here!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had such a wonderful vacation and this house was perfect for my family of 6. It was clean, centrally located and very comfortable. We rented 2 golf carts and this made it easy and fun to explore around the area. We enjoyed watching a meteor shower in the beach the first night, played pickle ball everyday, went to the beach, visited the shops and had great meals at the local restaurants. We thoroughly enjoyed a sunset sailboat ride, where we saw a pod of dolphin.. We made memories for a lifetime and would definitely stay here again.
