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.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: What a Cute and Charming little Cottage! It was exactly what we needed as a Family of 4 (2 Adults and 2 Kids) for our Week Vacation at Cape Charles. We loved how the house was just a short Gold Car ride to the Beach and if we forgot something it didn't matter because the kids Loved riding back to the house! The Kitchen was adorable and defiantly had all our needs. No Dishwasher but we came prepared with paper plates which made clean up easy. Tons of Games and Toys for the kids...they didn't even touch the toys we brought! Loved spending quality time with the family during our Beach week at this wonderful Wild Blue Cottage!

Let me start with the big complaint. If you're over 6'2", just go somewhere else. The door frames are low, the crossbars are low, the showerhead is low.

This cozy cottage will make you feel right at home! Two adults and two kids fit just right in this home. We loved all of the finishing touches that made you feel like you were welcomed over to an old friends house. In addition, the yard with outdoor shower made beach clean up a breeze - in fact we only used the outdoor shower (inside is a bit tight). The kitchen is small, but we eat out a lot of meals on vacation anyway. Come to cape Charles for the beach - stay for the bread, ice cream, and charm in the little hangout

This place is tiny tiny tiny but super adorable and totally comfortable. Our family isn’t one to stay “home” on vacation so it was more than adequate as a place to crash after a day at the beach/in between activities. The outdoor shower was great and we loved all of the board games and toys that were there to play with. If you are the type to want to cook all of your dinners and stay in every evening this probably isn’t the place for you as the kitchen was small but we did just fine cooking breakfasts and lunches for the family as well as a dinner or two. Super close to the beach, on a nice quiet street. The decor is super cute. We would definitely stay here again!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a great stay at Wild Blue Cottage. The location is wonderful, and it's clear that a lot of care has gone into the maintenance and upkeep of the cottage. Although the listing says it has a dishwasher, it does not (unless it's hidden in a closet or somewhere that we couldn't find), so you will want to grab paper plates. It was a perfect spot for my family with small kids, but the bathroom is very small and the cottage may not be a comfortable fit for a group with more than 2 adults or older kids. But we loved our stay!
