About this house rental

When it came to our family and Cape Charles, it was love at first sight. The peace and quiet, the beauty of the Bay, the warm sand of the beach, the friendly people and eclectic shops and restaurants... the town captured our hearts immediately. Our family (mom, dad, five kids, and a Bernese mountain dog named Yankee) has built a million cherished memories here, and we hope that you will too!

Cape Cottage is a clean, comfortable, charming Victorian... a perfect spot for your Cape Charles beach vacation! The peaceful downtown location leaves you just a short walk from shopping, restaurants, and (most importantly, as far as we are concerned) the beach.

The home has three bedrooms and two full baths. The living room has a comfortable sectional couch and a great TV for watching movies or sports. We love our dog and wouldn't want to vacation without her; we assume that if you have a dog, you want to bring him or her too!

The house has everything that you need to have a marvelous vacation -- the kitchen is spacious and stocked with all the pots, pans, dishes, and appliances that you have at home (coffee pot, Keurig, Nespresso -- did we mention that we are coffee people?). The house features cable TV (there are flat screen TVs in the living room and in two of the bedrooms), WiFi, central heat and AC, and on-demand hot water (so your whole crew can clean up without draining the tank!). New mattresses throughout the house will ensure a good night's sleep. The cleaning fee covers all linens and towels, so you won't have to bring those with you.

Outside, there is a wrap-around front porch with a porch swing and lounge chairs. In the back, there is a spacious back yard with lights, a portable fire-pit, a charcoal grill/smoker, and an outdoor dining set. Set up a round of corn-hole or horseshoes, throw something tasty on the grill, open a cold drink of your choice, and watch the time fly.

In the shed you'll find everything you need to have a great day on the water -- an adult and kid-sized stand-up paddle-boards, adults and kid-sized kayaks, beach chairs, toys, games, bicycles, and the family's pride and joy -- a 5 person surrey.

Cape Charles is a hidden gem. Whether you're into nature, wildlife, hiking, shopping, eating, water-sports, or just sitting on the beach reading a good book... we are sure that you are going to have a wonderful vacation!

House had so much to offer. We didn’t stay long enough to utilize all the fun things. Great location. Lots of space to hold large groups. Mike was super easy to work with. Answered questions in a timely fashion. We’ve stayed in several homes in Cape Charles and this was one of our favorites.

Plenty of space and beds for our family of 5. Large sectional in living room is so comfortable, offering a nice gathering spot for the family. Home is well stocked with towels, cookware, and paper supplies. The coffee bar with choice of Nespresso, keurig, and standard coffee brewing is awesome. The kids love the surrey and bikes, and mom appreciates the outdoor shower to rinse off the beach! But above all, pet friendly is most appreciated. There’s no dog fur on the furniture or carpets, the home is kept very clean. The owner is friendly and so easy to communicate with. We love staying here every summer.

We had the best long weekend here in Cape Charles. The property is lovely. For those traveling with young children, it's set up with all the bedrooms upstairs. The main bedroom and first bedroom are off the main hallway, and the second bedroom is through the first bedroom - however there is a second set of stairs from the second bedroom to the first floor, so no one is ever "trapped" by a bedroom. Sorry, that's a little hard to visualize but view photos for more perspective. We had 3 adults and 2 children (3 and 5) with us, and there was ample space. Major bonus: blackout curtains in the first bedroom so my kids didn't wake up with the sunrise! We mostly ate in, and the kitchen was nicely stocked with cookware. We found some beach chairs and an inflatable raft in the shed, along with a SUP (did not test this out but it was there). I highly recommend a golf cart! It's a nice 10-15 walk to the beach and same distance to the brewery, but it was really fun to drive around the town. Host was kind and responsive. Check-in and check out were a breeze. We really enjoyed this and hope to be back again next year.

The house needs updating. The kitchen floors need to be changed. The bathroom sink needs to be fixed, the stove needs to be cleaned. The beds were nicely done when we arrived but the mattresses need to be changed. Over-all, we enjoyed our stay, it was a nice neighborhood. Beach, church and shops were nearby.

We had a wonderful vacation at this house! With 3 kids under 5 and a dog, not all homes can accommodate, but this house sure DID! The living space and dining areas were open and comfortable, and the bedrooms were cozy. The location is great-we walked to the park multiple times for the kids and the dog to enjoy! The only negative we had was the mountain of trash that was overflowing the trashcan when we arrived was very smelly and brought a lot of flies. Unfortunately trash pickup didn’t happen until we had already been there for a couple days. Overall we loved it. Lots of good memories were made during our stay!

Property was dated! Showers are functional but definitely not luxurious! But, the house has a lot of charm. Landscaping could DEFINITELY BE ADDRESSED! And the keyless entry was so temperamental a few times I thought we weren’t going to get in. A little TLC would have gone a long way. Also, no instructions in house for check out procedures or if there was I could not find it.

We enjoyed the convenient location of this property. It is close to the beach and to all of the shops. The front porch swing was nice and the beds were comfortable. We enjoyed our stay!

Everything inside the house was great and Michael was always very responsive. I only wish the yard had been mowed, to enjoy the backyard. I would definitely stay here again.
