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.

Property is beautifully renovated - Very open and clean. We had everything we needed in the house and more. Parking was a little crowded with the golf carts than on some of the other streets, but nothing that would deter us from renting in the future.

Reviewer Comments:
Cape Charles is a great town. We have been coming for years- staying both in rentals and with friend. While this home was nicely updated and decorated, it can definitely needs a deep clean. There was a sock in the living room when we arrived; ceiling fans upstairs couldn't be used because of about an inch of dust on them; the light was out on the porch, so could not be used at night; and while kitchen was well stocked, utensils and tools were very cheap so difficult to use. Overall, I probably would not stay at this home again, but we will definitely be back in Cape Charles.
5.0 / 5.0
We spent a week here with our 2 and 4 year old. The property was nice, the kitchen was well stocked and functional, the shed held everything we needed for the beach, and the location was perfect. It was our first time in Cape Charles and we’ll definitely be back.

All good, exactly as described. Baths are kinda small, but no big deal. Location is superb for walking to the Bay or shops on Mason, or the Center Towne Park. Perfect for a couple or young family, but no more than 2 small kids.

Beautifully renovated property with all the amenities you want for a relaxing and fun trip in Cape Charles! Perfect location to walk to restaurants and the beach, and right next to the park for concerts and playground fun. Very easy check-in, even after-hours, and graciously accommodated a late checkout. Could not recommend this property more!

Reviewer Comments:
We arrived at Strawberry Suite on Thursday and stayed through Sunday, and it was our best beach weekend of the year, hands down. As we arrived in town after the real estate office was closed, we retrieved the key and info packet via the lockbox at the office, which was easy.Strawberry Suite has obviously been recently renovated, and what a beautiful job! It was very clean, updated, and beautifully and comfortably furnished. The kitchen had updated stainless steel appliances, a huge fridge, dishwasher, and plenty of dishes and cookware for our needs. The yard is fenced in, with a lighted patio area, plenty of outdoor seating, and gas grill, which we used every night we were there. Out back there were also beach chairs for guest use.Upstairs there were 2 bedrooms sharing a bathroom, which was plenty for our family of 3. The air conditioning was more than adequate throughout, maybe a bit too cold! All the necesseties were supplied: toilet paper, paper towels, dish soap, etc.Overall we loved our stay. We went to the beach and nearby state parks each day and just enjoyed the area. The walk to the in-town beach is less than 10 minutes from the house, and it's the absolute nicest Chesapeake Bay beach we've visited (we've been to many on the Maryland side).We loved this family-friendly town and hope to return next year. Renting from this company was easy and they are so friendly and helpful. If/when we return we will be calling them again!

Stayed at this beautifully renovated unit. As described. You won’t be disappointed. Location is great. Outdoor space with grill, table chairs and lights. Nice outdoor shower for washing off the beach sand. Our first time to Cape Charles and it was great from picking up the keys to checkout.
5.0 / 5.0
We loved staying here, it fit our family of five perfectly. We loved the short walks to the beach (about 9 min), to the park (next door), and to the main shopping area (Less than 5 min). Would definitely stay again!
