This is a little gem in Cape Charles. It was bigger than I thought from the pictures, yet cozy and very welcoming. Christina was a fantastic host and very helpful with recommendations. This is a great place for families of all ages!

In years of renting VRBOI properties, this house was the best equipped ever! House is professionally decorated and very well done. Very comfortable. Upstairs is terrific for a family with adorable bunk space and a room for parents! We enjoyed the property - sitting on the front porch reading or on the back deck. Kitchen equipment made ti easy to prepare meals. Owner was super responsive. House had everything we could have wanted. Would definitely stay at this property again. We appreciate such a nice home that allows dogs.

We recently had the pleasure of staying at “Down by the Bay” in Cape Charles with seven of our family members. This beautiful home became the backdrop to a truly memorable family vacation. While the photos on the VRBO listing are captivating, they hardly do justice to the home’s real-life charm. The layout is practical and inviting, perfect for families, and it’s evident that Christina, the owner, has poured her heart, soul, and keen design sense into restoring this historical gem. Every amenity we could have wished for was available, making our stay comfortable and hassle-free. We’re already looking forward to our visit next year. Highly recommended!

My family has been visiting Cape Charles for several years. We have stayed in many homes, some nice, some disappointing. I must say this is one of the nicest homes we have stayed in, from the cozy comfort and decor to the well thought out amenities provided(beach chairs, towels, floaties, and toys). Sometimes the photos in a listing aren’t quite accurate. This home delivered on all it promises. Our family enjoyed the main floor master and the separate upstairs area, an excellent use of space. The house lives larger than a two bedroom. We thoroughly enjoyed the well kept backyard with grill, fire pit, deck, and lighting for a perfect family evening. We hope to stay again next time we come to the Cape.

Great house - so clean, charming and cozy. Perfect spot for enjoying all that Cape Charles has to offer. A warm and welcoming home away from home with so many special touches throughout, which made R&R immediate and lasting. Loved the first floor master and easy access charging cord for the golf cart (a CC Ryder golf cart is a must have for the total Cape Charles experience) We miss it already and hope to visit again.

We had a fall getaway and spent our Thanksgiving at Christina’s property in Cape Charles. The house was so cute! Everything was fresh and clean upon our arrival and we felt they made great use of the space. The beds and seats were all comfortable for sleeping and hanging out and the kitchen was really well stocked. We had one family (parents with a 2 and 4 year old) upstairs in the bunkie area and grandparents down in the master. We got lucky with the weather and enjoyed walking to the beach and sitting on the porch. It was fun to walk through town and see it decorated for Christmas. Christina reached out upon booking with helpful information about the property and got back to us right away with answers to our questions. Check out was fairly straightforward as far as these types of vacation rentals go (strip beds, towels in a pile, run dishwasher, sweep and take out trash before locking up) and since no one was coming right after us we had the option of paying to either extend our stay or a late check out which were a nice options. We really enjoyed our stay and would love to return!

This rental is as described, wonderfully decorated, fully equipped and extremely clean. Distance to beach and town is great, Cape Charles is amazing to walk around. One of our favorites!

The owner was very responsive to any questions I had about the property. The property was clean and a joy to stay in and had everything we needed for a weeks stay. Close to the heart of the town and the beach, however I recommend renting a golf cart for ease of travel. Book the golf carts early because they run out of inventory quickly. It was the perfect place to relax for a week.

Best rental ever!
This thoughtfully designed, comfortable, clean and well stocked house is the best VRBO I’ve ever rented. For the first time ever I didn’t want to leave and tried to schedule for the same time next year. (But it’s already booked)
For such a small house it lives comfortably for a family of six. I also have to say the beds/pillows are comfortable!
