We had 7 adults and 4 children (ages 4 - 8), the house was perfect!! It’s such a cool old house. Everyone had their own bed and bathroom! This was our third year vacationing at Cape Charles and the first time we were out of the gated neighborhood. We rented golf carts and since we were so close to everything, it took no time to get to where we wanted to go, beach, play ground, brewery, ice cream, all the fun places. We did reach out to the owners once about extra blankets and cornhole bags, they responded really quickly and got us what we needed within a few hours. This was one of the few houses that had parking in the back off the alley, which was perfect, since we had 4 vehicles. The house has everything you need, except beach towels, don’t forget those like I did. LOL We did a lot of front porch sitting, set up the cornhole boards in the front yard, kids had fun playing on the foosball table, cooked lots of great meals in the kitchen and ate together in the huge dining room, played games and hung out in the comfy living rooms. I hope your group has as much fun as we did!!

It was all prefect and then some. Will def be back to Sweet Retreat.

This is our third stay with the Dail family at one of their Cape Charles properties. All stays have been rated 5 stars and this most recent stay was no different. We do not bother looking at other rentals as this owner is consistently in communication prior to the visit, always has a very clean house, and is easily accessible if needed during the stay. I have no negative comments and encourage you to rent one of the Dail properties. You will not be disappointed, they are top notch.

My husband and I were celebrating our 60th wedding anniversary. Your home allowed our entire family minus one grandchild to be together. The front porch was in constant use and the location gave everyone the freedom to do what they pleased. The week was almost perfect.

Sweet Retreat is the perfect house for families with children. It is very kid friendly and has plenty of space. My 3 year old grandson loved the bedroom on the third floor since it had a "secret passageway." The beds and furnishings were very comfortable. It was nice having 2 living areas since my son-in-law had to work from home a few days. This house is ideally located near the beach and park. It is definitely a "Sweet Retreat!"

We loved our stay in Cape Charles and the house was amazing! We were on our annual family girls trip, but unfortunately half of our group had to stay home due to illness. We were still able to enjoy a quiet getaway and all of the local attractions. We can’t wait to return with the rest of our group.

Old but lovely

Although we were not able to spend as much time outside as we had hoped, the inside of this house was so comfortable that we relaxed and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Thanksgiving dinner, games around the table, Christmas cookie baking, and so much more. Thank you to everyone involved who made our stay exceptional. We are already looking forward to future visits.

Beautiful historic home with modern amenities. Our group was here for business meetings and social outings and the home was perfect, more than we could have hoped for. Thank you!

This house has everything you need for the perfect stay. Charming, well appointed, clean, and perfect layout. We will be back and highly recommend Sweet Retreat to those looking for a place to stay in Cape Charles that’s close to the the bay and blocks from historic downtown.

Everyone had own room, most had own bathroom too! Lots of space. Great porch time. Bathrooms could use some hooks for towels n clothes. Night lights in halls would be great too.

We take an annual trip to CC and this is the second time we have stayed in this home and we were not disappointed! It’s a great house, plenty of room for two to three families to spread out, close to the beach and town, well stocked with everything you need. We will definitely rebook in the future!

Loved our stay here. Great house, very clean, plenty of room. Kitchen was well stocked. Great location close to the beach. Wish it came with a golf cart, but other than that, we loved it and will go again.

We were a big group of 12 and the house was great. We loved the location and the size of the house. It was fully equipped also! So many rooms and bathrooms and even TVs! We had a few small things but I called homeowner and he fixed everything ASAP! Will definitely stay again!

Couldn’t have had a better vacation home! House was absolutely lovely & just perfect. Owner was superb, answered questions immediately & actually replaced washer/dryer within hours when the washer acted up. Would recommend this time & time again!!!! There isn’t one complaint & 1,000’s of compliments on this house/location. Can’t say enough good things!!! 💖💖💖

Amazing house, lots of room, awesome location, fantastic beach. What's not to like? You'll be in good hands here.

We love Cape Charles and this noise has a great layout and location.

We had such a wonderful stay. Everything was as described in the listing. One thing I think is helpful to mention about the bedrooms set up is that there are 2 wings to the house. The first wing you go up the main staircase and find both the king bedrooms (one has a large master bath with tub, one has a normal sized bathroom with tub), one queen bedroom (with a small attached bathroom - shower stall, no tub), and continuing up the stairs to the top you find the awesome bedroom with 3 twin beds and bathroom attached (tub). For the second wing of the house, there is a back staircase off the back living room that goes up to 2 bedrooms and a shared bathroom: the remaining queen room and the bunk bed room. The shared bathroom has a shower stall, not tub. It’s a great layout, and I wanted to share that so others can plan in advance. We loved the amount of bathrooms and tubs, as bathing young children was a daily part of our vacation. Highly recommend this property, it’s so close to the beach! I recommend bringing an extension cord for charging your golf cart if you’re renting one and planning on bringing/buying water as we found the town water at all properties we’ve rented in Cape Charles to be pretty undesirable (comes out of the tap cloudy and from one faucet a little bit brown).

We have been coming to the area once per year and will definitely seek this home to rent again. Perfect location. The house was clean w great charm. Along w having tons of space. The only flaw I can see if not having a fenced yard for the dog and kids but this would not stop us from renting in the future.

We had 10 adults and property easily accommodated. Second Fridge is a great plus. Location is perfect- close to both beach and quaint little town. Keeping contact details for future use.

We had ten people (adults and teens) and it was the perfect size to relax, cook, and be together (with space to be apart too!). We loved the distance to the beach and town. Sunsets were amazing!! Cape Charles is a perfect family beach town. We hope to be back!

Our family had a wonderful stay in Cape Charles for Thanksgiving. The house had everything we needed and more. It is a very spacious house with a wonderful layout for our large group. The teenage boys stayed in the room on the third floor. It was perfect for them. The younger girls stayed in the back room with the bunk beds. It was arranged nicely with another queen bedroom adjacent to it so that parents were in earshot throughout the night. The two living rooms worked well for our group. It allowed the noise to be kept to one area of the house in the morning. We would recommend this house to friends and family.

Agree with others' comments on how nice it is that house has a back and front area so that if you're with a big group, you can still find time away in different pockets of house if needed. We were there with younger children so really loved the big front porch to hang out on as well as all the different games and books in the house. It's located on a nice quiet street and short walk to beach. The owners were incredibly kind and responsive with any questions that cropped up. Great, spacious and well kept home and we enjoyed every minute of this escape.

We loved this house! We had ample room for three families in this house with many amenities and a great location! The owner was extremely communicative and responsive!

Great vacation destination and accommodations.

This was our 2nd year renting Sweet Retreat. And we were equally happy this year as last. The house is spacious and had everything we needed. Having a bathroom for almost every bedroom is so nice. The two living room spaces is great so that kids and adults didn’t have to share the TV. The outdoor spaces were lovely after the sun went down to enjoy pleasant summer nights. It’s a short walk to the beach and to all the shops. We would gladly stay here again.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The house is beautiful and spacious! Our extended family and dogs loved the area! Our teenage daughter and friends stayed in the back half of the house while the adults used the front bedrooms and living room. The front porch is great for relaxing in the evening and early morning coffee. A dog friendly town...our pups enjoyed the short walk to the beach every morning and evening to play in the water and on the beach. We enjoyed our chartered fishing tour and lazy days on the beach. We also had the pleasure of a concert at the park. A lovely town... we will be back! I also wanted to add while staying during this COVID restricted time, everyone was very respectful and maintained a healthy social distance in shops and on the beach.

We had a wonderful trip to Cape Charles! The town is adorable and the beaches are very family friendly and we’re not crowded during our visit. The house is large and very comfortable. We had everything we needed and room to spread out. It’s a short walk to the beach, a lovely park, and shopping/restaurants.

Serendipity brought us to the Sweet Retreat and Cape Charles, but we certainly plan to return. This property is beautiful, and the location cannot be beat - short walk to the beach and to downtown. The design of the house allowed for our daughter and friends to occupy bedrooms in the front, while my husband and I used the bedroom in the back of the house - providing us all some privacy. The porch is divine. Communication was excellent, and when we discovered that there was no teakettle, Jordan appeared early the next morning to supply one, along with some other kitchen items. A lovely stay, and we look forward to coming back sometime!

Overall the house was wonderful and great location to beach and town. Love the layout of the house and plenty of bathrooms which is nice. The 3rd floor has so many beds for kids to sleep in and it’s own bathroom which is great. Love the large dining table and front porch. The shower water pressure is amazing! Beds comfortable. Few small things could be improved - there wasn’t a trash can in bathroom/bedroom of 2nd king bedroom straight back from stairs. This bathroom could use a small cabinet or more counter space to place items on. The other king bedroom AC unit didn’t run all night on the first night. The beach chairs are pretty old. The deadbolt on the side door doesn’t work. The table on deck was missing a top plate. Despite these small things our stay was wonderful and our kids were so sad to leave. The owner was very responsive when I had questions. We would definitely stay here again!
