About this house rental

Renovated Single Family Home: Walking distance to BEACH and CAPE CHARLES HISTORIC DISTRICT and CENTRAL PARK Our renovated, 1906, Queen Anne Victorian is in the heart of Cape Charles Historic District. Located on a quiet, Crepe Myrtle-lined Street, just two blocks from shops and restaurants on Mason Avenue, a short walk to the Chesapeake Bay/Beach, and just steps from Central Park, Cape Breeze Retreat is a quintessential beach vacation home!

Cape Breeze Retreat is an ideal home for true relaxation. Just park your car for the duration of your stay because you won’t need it! Most vacationers find renting a golf cart the perfect way to navigate and enjoy the quaint town. Others simply prefer walking as everything you need is within a few blocks!

While relaxing from Cape Breeze Retreat’s FRONT PORCH SWING, Rocking Chairs, or dining table on one of the two porches, we recommend that our guests follow our “Porch Rules”:
Treasure Family Time, Feel the Breeze, Read a Book, Enjoy the Seasons, Listen to Music, Visit with Friends, Smile, Talk to God, Put your Feet Up, Sip Your Favorite Beverage, Reminisce, Be Grateful

Outside, there is a large fenced in backyard with a garden, patio set, bench, and a small goldfish pond. An outdoor shower makes it easy to shower your family off after a day at the beach. A new HVAC system will keep you cool and comfortable on even the hottest days!

As one of the larger homes in the district, you will find ample space with modern cottage house décor.

The first floor welcomes you into a large foyer which includes a hand-carved newel post, a bench seat and waiting area. Cape Breeze Retreat offers a large newly renovated, fully stocked kitchen which includes a coffee/tea bar, a new half bathroom, and separate mud and laundry rooms. Beach goers can park their golf cart in the provided “cart” driveway, take a shower or rinse off outside, and enter through the back porch.

A large dining table sits next to a fireplace which seats 8 comfortably with 2 more additional chairs. Adjacent Bar seating accommodates another 4.

Additionally, there is a living room with a large sectional, smart television, games, puzzles, and books for your enjoyment.

On the second floor you will find three bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The master suite has a large bathroom and a queen-size bed. The second bedroom has a canopy queen-size bed, while the third bedroom has a twin-size bed over a full-size bunkbed with an additional twin over twin bunkbed.

The beautifully illuminated, natural light, third level has 2 more bedrooms and another bathroom. We call this space the “Crow’s Nest”! One room houses two twin beds, while the other has a queen bed, therefore sleeping another 4 people. Additionally, the third floor offers a newly renovated shiplap, lounge space and another television. Two hammock chairs are available to relax in as well! More games, puzzles, and books are available, but more kid-friendly options.

For your convenience, beach toys, chairs, umbrellas, and a heavy duty, large-wheel, beach wagon are provided for your use.

Cape Charles has a way of stimulating your senses and capturing your heart. My husband, two children, and I feel in love with the town and its people from our very first visit. We hope that you are as captivated by the charm of this lovely, historic, beach community as we are!

We enjoyed our stay. Accommodations were very good. There were many things supplied by the owners and the kitchen was well stocked with equipment. The house is old but had many modern updates. Loved the open kitchen/dining area. The living area was a little small but we enjoyed the closeness. Great location, close to the beach, park and downtown. The hosts were easy to reach and even checked on us before and after we arrived.

Nice renovated Victorian style house very convenient to town and beach. Wish it would have come with a golf cart as this seemed like a fun mode of transportation for our vacation. Didn't realize you have to make golf cart reservations ahead of time. Loved th and back porches and garden like yard. Steps to the third floor were steep and treacherous! Also, bedrooms on third floor were quite small with sloping roof line . All in all, house was a nice beach time for our family.and

This home (and its way more than a house) is the most well stocked home I have ever rented. You feel the love there.We actually played a game to see if there was a basic home item that we needed that we couldn’t find. Even a roll of tape was magically there when my granddaughter accidentally tore a page from her book and was devastated. The kitchen dining area was a big group’s dream. Bathrooms were beautifully updated. Extra pillows, blankets in sleeping areas. Great laundry area with wonderful beach towels and plenty of food storage space.could go on & on. The backyard was definitely another bonus! We watched the fish and the frogs in the koi pond from the perfect little viewing platform. At night, the fountain and the lighting made for a great adult getaway. The golf cart parking and charging space-perfection! It’s impossible to cover it all but just know, this house is as close to perfection for a large group as I have ever found. I will close with my dealings with the owner. Concerned, caring, and very responsive. I wish they offered more stars for this rating.

We enjoyed our stay in Cape Charles. The house was perfect for our extended family. We spent several days at the beach, loved that the park with an open field and pickleball courts was so close (perfect for our family field day competition) and, while we cooked most meals at the house, the restaurants we went to were delicious.

This beautiful house was perfect for a family Thanksgiving away from home. We had 9 adults and 3 children - we had enough room to spread out and have our own space but also plenty of room to be together. It was very well stocked - We had everything we needed in the kitchen and around the house. The location was great - we enjoyed taking walks around the neighbor hood, to the park, and to the beach. The hosts were very responsive to questions/needs prior to and throughout our stay.

We had a large family group of all ages and found this home to be spacious and comfortable. The decor and updates throughout the house are really beautiful. We celebrated our daughter's 1st birthday there and our family used the trip to say good bye to my husband leaving on deployment. The kids loved hanging out in the crows nest and making s'mores in the back yard. We could walk everywhere we wanted to go. It was a wonderful first trip to Cape Charles.
