Lovely beach week

We very much enjoyed our stay at Old Crow's Nest. It is spacious with flexibility for sleeping and activities. The beach is nearby but not quite walkable for the very old and very young but easily accessed. Nice views of the Chesapeake Bay. Cape Charles is nearby and provides some alternative things to do as well as another larger beach. We would recommend this place to friends and family.

Lovely property

This property was perfect for our family. There is quite a bit of construction in the neighborhood, but that ended up being a bonus for my toddler, who loved all of the construction equipment. The house was great - well-equipped kitchen, walking distance to the beach, beautiful landscaping, access to the community pool, close to town and the grocery store, etc.

House was great! Overall very clean house. The kitchen was well stocked with cups, plates, utensils, etc. Plenty of towels/linens for our group of 5 adults and 5 children. The bedrooms were great with plenty of space. The third level is a great addition that we would make great use of in the future (kids getting older). The storage bin behind the garage had 5 or so chairs and a wagon which was very useful. Our one critique would be that there is only one trash can and the trash pickup is on Mondays, so by the end of the week the one trash can was not quite sufficient. But other than that we had a great stay and would consider the same house in the future.

We have stayed at many houses and condos in Baycreek. Old Crows Nest was one of the best, it was well stocked with everything you would need, instructions were clear and well documented for everything in the house; and you cannot beat the location. The only thing to callout is that you won’t have access to the garage, which isn’t a huge deal but it wasn’t clear to us when we rented so we had to purchase extension cords to be able to charge our rented golf carts.

Absolutely perfect!!!

This was a short little trip to celebrate 2 big occasions; my parents' 54th wedding anniversary and my dad's 80th birthday. The house is in a great, quiet location overlooking one of the holes of the golf course and with a view of the bay off of the back deck, which makes for a great view of the sunset. Having access to the golf course through the owner was key, as my son, dad, and I played golf on 3 straight days, and my son enjoyed being able to drive golf carts into town for dinner. Cape Charles is a gem of a little town, if you haven't discovered it yet, and this house made our stay absolutely perfect.

Lots of parking at the house with space for 2 to 3 cars in the driveway and 3 more spots out front. Only complaint would be that we did not have access to the bikes and gas grill promised by the rental company.

More Than A Rental...A Home

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We enjoyed a week long, three generation get together at The Old Crow's Nest in Bay Creek. The home is well laid out with sufficient room when one needs to get away from the noise & tumult. The beds were very comfortable; the bathrooms were clean and the kitchen was well appointed with cookware as well as appliances. The proximity to Bay Creek's private beach was a big plus. The beach is about .3 mile from the house. It was an easy amble to head down and watch a sunset on foot. It was a quick drive with a car full of kids toys, canopy, chairs etc. for making a day of it. Cape Charles was a quick 10 minute drive to enjoy its large beach as well as shops & restaurants. While we missed the Saturday night concert in Central Park there, it was good to know an offering like that is available during the summer. Despite the ongoing construction, the neighborhood was reasonably quiet, peace filled and clean. The second floor deck provided a great view of the golf course & bay. A sunrise cup of coffee on the deck was wonderful. We booked through Blue Heron; Doug Rippon and his team were very helpful when we had a request. We will definitely return!

Old Crows Nest

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was our second stay at the Old Crow's Nest in the Bay Creek Resort. We were there the week of June 18. It's the perfect property for our family (5 adults and 3 kids) vacation. The property has a great location being across the street from the Bay and overlooks the Bay Creek Resort golf course. The property is well maintained and clean. The kitchen is well stocked with dishes, glasses and whatever else you might need. The beds were comfortable and there are TVs in all the bedrooms. One of the things ww really like is there are thermostats for every floor. The family room has a collection of games and books to enjoy. It's a short walk/drive to the Resort's private beach. This was out sixth yearly trip to Cape Charles so we're pretty familiar with the town. We tried three new to us restaurants - AJ's Bar and Grill, Salt and Sand and the Coach House Tavern. We would recommend all three. We also hit some of our favorites restaurnts like The Shanty, which updated it's interier, Dead Rise Pies and Hook at Harvey. We also ate in one night picking up Crab Legs from the Beach Market, which, as far as we know. is the only place in Cape Charles where you can get crab legs. Also a shout out to Poseidon Watersports who delivered and picked-up the paddleboards we rented from them.One small probelm we had with the property was with the master bedroom shower not draining properly. With one call to Blue Heron the issue was corrected within the hour so well done there.I would highly recommend this property for your stay in Cape Charles and we expet to be back here next summer.

A great family vacation

We recently stayed at the Old Crow’s Nest and we had the most amazing time. The house was very clean and exactly what we expected. The beach there is absolutely beautiful and so peaceful. This is our new favorite vacation pace and we are already planning our trip back next year. If you are looking for a quiet vacation to be able to relax and spend time with your family, I highly recommend this place.
