Our family had a great, comfortable stay at this property. It’s about a 12 minute walk to the beach, and very close to one of the local bakeries and the pharmacy/diner. The house has pretty much everything you’d need during a brief stay. One privacy thing: the doors don’t have locks. However, the host promptly and kindly provided door stoppers. We’d definitely stay here again!

Great week in Cape Charles!

We had a great time in Cape Charles. The house was clean, well stocked kitchen and the beds were comfortable. The boys loved the back yard aka "the pitch" for nightly soccer games. Thanks Lilly for being so responsive to any questions we had!

Great family home!

This was a great home for us. We had four generations and the layout was perfect. It even has a bedroom on the first floor. The beds were comfy and plenty of towels. Lily is a great host and responds almost immediately. Not close to the water but close to the park and all the shops.

Cute bay house!

We really enjoyed our stay at Belle of the bay! The only thing we had any problem with was parking. We had several times where people parked in front of our house and left us without parking. We had 9 people and there was plenty of room for everyone! We would definitely recommend this place!

Cape Charles is a great family oriented getaway! This property was great as well. The owner was very responsive. The house was super clean. We had no parking issues (as others have commented on) as we golf carted our entire stay. The only negative was the blinds in the bedrooms do not keep the outside lights out. We’ve stayed at numerous properties in Cape Charles and this one ranks near the top. Just know going in that these are historic homes.
