The Space:
Fully Restored 1886 Beach Cottage Close To Downtown Shops. Pelican Place, once featured on THIS OLD HOUSE, has all the comfort of today with the charm of yesteryear. Once a railroad office, the cottage was moved to the present site; the interior was gutted, deconstructed with structures salvaged and renovated, and then rebuilt with modern plumbing and wiring, central air and heat, and other modern comforts yet still retaining its period character.
The cottage is fully equipped for a care-free vacation: a huge, well stocked kitchen, comfortable living room with a 50 inch TV and entertainment center, games, movies, and Netflix. Sleep well in the comfortable beds. For your beach needs, there are an outside shower, beach chairs and toys, and even off street parking large enough for a boat.

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.

This house had everything we needed! It was in a great location right on the main street! It was a bonus that it had a driveway to park our car so it wasn’t on the street. Chesapeake properties, very professional and easy to communicate with! We even locked herself out of the property one day and they responded very quickly to help us get back in, the welcome bag they supplied was Very helpful! It had paper towels, toilet paper, dishwashing detergent, laundry detergent, trash bags, dish soap to get you started for your week. The bathrooms all were supplied with hand soap, shampoo, conditioner, and body wash! My favorite feature in the kitchen was the icemaker machine on the counter! You could add bottled water and make your own ice!! We will definitely return again!

This adorable little house has charmed us for years. It's the perfect balance of charm and function makes this a place we return to year after year. The kitchen is always fully equipped. I am not sure how the owner's do it, but this house looks perfectly clean year after year. If you enjoy shopping and eating on Mason, I highly recommend this house because it is a short walk to everything. We vacation with two families with four kids total - perfect fit!

We stayed for 5 nights with 4 kids. We spent some of every day on the beach and also enjoyed walking around Cape Charles and spent time at Kiptopkeke park and Wallops Island. We did have an issue with the door handles in the upstairs bedroom having loose set screws and the potential of not being opened from the inside of the room. This was insignificant for our trip but might be something to fix for future stays.

We loved our stay at the Pelican Place. The kitchen is always stocked with necessary items. The Keurig machine is great, but the TWO bakeries within walking distance are the real winners. If you want to be close to the main drag, then Pelican Place is your house. We have stayed several times. The house is always clean. Parking on the property is a rare amenity in CC. We usually load up the car to drive to the beach, so the driveway is our savior! The outside shower helps get all the kids clean prior to house entry :)

Great house, Great location
This house was great for our group of 6 (4 adults and 2 children). There is room inside and outside to sit around a table and/or hangout. The kitchen is well stocked with items needed to make meals for a group. It is an easy walk to eateries including Coastal Baking and Deadrise Pies basically next door. We did drive one car to the beach each day for the small children and supplies but never had an issue parking. Older kids and/or adults could make the walk easily. The kids enjoyed the bunk bed room. One note for groups traveling together: there is a full bathroom upstairs and one downstairs off the kitchen. The upstairs shower is in clawfoot tub. We had to do some juggling to all manage showers but it was doable.
I sent a message prior to arrival to the property management with a question about what beach items were in the house. I got a partial answer and then didn't hear back again. I called the morning after we arrived to ask a question about water jugs in the house, had to leave a voicemail, and never got called back. When we arrived, there were some dirty bath mats still piled in the hallway, a couple of pretzels under the coffee table, and a pretty full trash bin already outside. Trash day is Tuesday, and we checked in on Wednesday. We suspect the trash didn't get out on Tuesday. When we checked out on Sunday, our bags didn't fit in the bin. However, the rest of the house, including kitchen, was clean. There were plenty of linens provided for use during our stay.

Great stay for beach vacay!
Stayed at Pelican Place for our first visit to Cape Charles. The recent renovation did a nice job of bringing modern conveniences and amenities to the oldest extant home in town while preserving the original character. Perfect for out family of four.
Location is conveniently located on edge of downtown just a short walk or golf cart ride from restaurants, shops, and the beach. 1/2 block from CC Ryder cart rentals so pick up and return was a breeze.
We will definitely stay again!

Second year at Pelican's Place for Thanksgiving
We came to get away last year for Thanksgiving, and liked it so much we came back this year for Thanksgiving. The house is well appointed and has everything you could need to make a Thanksgiving dinner away from home for a family of 4. Downtown Cape Charles was busy this year, with lots of activity in the local shops and restaurants. It's always great coming back to a warm house and comfy beds after walking around town and local trails. We'll likely return again next Thanksgiving, as this is quickly becoming a great family tradition!

Reviewer Comments:
The house overall was nice and in a great location, however our last night the water main broke and the city shut off the water. That meant no working toilets, no showers, etc. The property manager let us know what happened, but never offered to compensate us for such an abrupt end to our vacation. It seems we should have at least been refunded our last night to make up for it, but they have not responded to our requests.

Charming little cottage
We had a lovely week in Cape Charles. We arrived and the Home was found to be impeccably clean. It was very comfy for two couples and 3 children. The kitchen was well stocked with a rice cooker, slow cooker, a griddle and pots and pans, coffee maker, practically all the essentials for cooking. The one improvement could be a new set of non stick pans as they are not usable in the condition they are in. The beds were comfy, the AC unit worked perfectly. One thing to mention with small children is that both of the doors leading to the outside have locks only on the door handles. It would be good if they add a higher lock for safety. A screen door added to the front door would be beneficial. The screen door on the side door doesn’t lock either so we always had to make sure doors were locked so that the toddler wouldn’t get out. We also had to put a chair in front of the front door since it’s on a main road we were afraid she would open the door. So I would suggest an extra lock on the doors! Otherwise, the bedrooms were great and very comfy mattresses the kids loved the bunk beds and taking a bath in the claw foot tub. We especially loved that we were on the Main Street and walked every day into town and to the beach. The backyard was really cute too with the fire pit and outdoor shower. Altogether a really nice stay and we would recommend Pelican Place to friends and family!

Great house, close to the beach and downtown
We stayed here for Thanksgiving 2020, just needing to get away from home. The layout of the house is great, the kids loved the bunk beds. The kitchen was well appointed and had everything we needed to make a Thanksgiving dinner away from home. The TV/Surround Sound were great for relaxing afternoons watching movies with the kids also. We would definitely like to return to rent this property again!

Wonderful!
We had a lot of fun at this house! The house is so neat and unique. Our children loved it. Cape Charles is the perfect place for little kids. We had a lot of fun staying at this house. The stray cat next door has had kittens so if you are feeling generous they will accept donations of cat food and milk and or scraps. :-) CC rider rentals is a must for your golf cart needs. Please don't forget to get some ice cream at brown dog ice cream down the street. This house is really conveniently located on Mason Avenue right where everything is. I'm sure we will be back the next time we visit Cape Charles!

Cute house in great location
This is a really cute house within walking distance of most of the main attractions in Cape Charles. It’s an old house, but in good shape. The kitchen is very well furnished. The back yard is really cool too, including a grill. Similar to other posts on here, the washing machine in the kitchen is super loud.

This is our second time renting this house. It was a welcome break from the day to day monotony of the COVID-19 pandemic. The house was clean and comfortable. The town made us feel welcome and safe during this troubling time. Cape Charles is our home away from home and slice of heaven. We only had one incident where someone approached us without a face mask. This occurred on the fishing pier. Otherwise, we felt safe and secure. We had a vacation cat that greeted us upon our arrival. He added to the charm of the house. We enjoyed a fire in the back yard a couple nights during our stay. The only complaint would be that when the washer is running, it sounds like a plane is taking off in the house. We would recommend this property to our friends and family. The property manager messaged us during the hurricane to ensure we were making out ok. The communication was excellent.

My family (including kids ages 8, 8 and 10) loved renting this home for a get-away this summer. Cape Charles is always charming and this home is a close walk to shops and restaurants. The home was clean and just as described. We would definitely rent again!

Great older home that was nicely renovated. The kitchen is well appointed with a variety of necessary tools, pans & even a slow cooker. Paper towels, tp and towels were well stocked.
The back yard was beautifully landscaped and we loved the fire pit.
We will be back next year!

The house is adorable and they have EVERYTHING you could need. The house has Netflix, a coffee pot, a Keurig, a water cooler, snacks, you name it, the owners thought to make it available to the renters. It's right down the street from the main drag. We will be back!

Reviewer Comments:
House was in a perfect location to the beach- but it wasn't quite ready for us. There were no paper towels, dish soap, trashbags, and one bathroom was without toilet paper when we checked in Friday night. The items were delivered to us Saturday morning and we were told we were supposed to supply those things; which is not what the guest book said. It clearly stated those items would be in the closet under the stairs. Otherwise the house was well stocked and clean.

Reviewer Comments:
Very nice home. Homes on either side aren't great but it was a great quiet home. Short walk to town. Recommend Deadrise Pies for good pizza. Short walk down the street. Stairs in the home are pretty steep so if you are carrying heavy luggage upstairs it's a bit tricky. Great kitchen in home. Comfy beds. Wouldn't mind staying here again
