This is a fabulous home practically on the beach - so close! Lovely fenced in backyard for pets and comfortable and roomy inside for all. Great furniture and furnishing, kitchen so well stocked, had everything you need. Home is also a quick walk to the Main Street in town for shopping, dining, and more - it’s the perfect location!

The location of this house is ideal for everyone. It was clean and comfortable and the outdoor shower was a must for children coming home from the beach. We enjoyed the beautiful park down the street also. It was great fun to walk the blocks and close to “downtown!” It was very quiet with little traffic although there were many houses occupied. A lovely town and the beach was gorgeous. This was a great house for families.

Great Week in Cape Charles

The property was perfect for our group of three couples. Our family had a great time being so close to the beach and 'into town'. A great place to stay and will stay here again when we come back to Cape Charles.

We looked forward to our return stay and it didn’t disappoint! Beautiful, comfortable home - plus the screened porch, back yard, and being only steps away from the beach and downtown area are must haves.

We had a fantastic stay here. The location is perfect and you can even hear the waves from the beach. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed.

Property exactly as described - Excellent! Stayed with a College classmate & wife and another couple. All in late 70's and 80, so one floor was a must. Clean, well stocked kitchen, pantry, and two coffee makers. Few minutes to the beach and beautiful sunsets. Will stay again!

Best week away

We love Cape Charles and coming back with this house was the right move. You are so close to the beach it makes it so easy with little kids to walk and carry all the beach items. The house was great and spacious and well done. We loved the week and hope to be back again!
