Magnificant star gazing most nights.

Ideally located in a private, tranquil location where our guests often prefer to relax and enjoy the abundant wildlife, nature and solitude. When available, there are sea kayaks (WOL required) with a dock and ramp for launching and walking trails onsite for our guests to enjoy. Endless photography options. There are many nearby recreational choices, most about 15 minutes away: 4 convenient boat ramps (2 access the Chesapeake Bay and 2 access the Atlantic seaside). There is plenty of room to park your boat trailer onsite and take advantage of fresh-water rinse hose; close-by are marinas, fueling options, bait shops, fishing charters, and seafood retailers if your fishing luck is running low!

A short drive away is the quaint Town of Cape Charles - with its long public beach and public fishing pier; restaurants and watering holes; art galleries and shops hosting works of our many accomplished local artists; boutiques, antique and gift shops, etc. Kiptopeke State Park with it's boat ramps, parking and popular beach is also a short drive away (State park fees apply).

There are numerous nearby services including a full-service grocery (which is about 10 minutes from the property). For nature enthusiasts, the Eastern Shore National Wildlife Refuge and the Fisherman Island National Wildlife Refuge are minutes away. Day-trippers' choices include Chincoteague Island, NASA Wallops Flight Facility [you may get lucky during your stay and witness a launch!!], or catch the seasonal Ferry to unique, historic Tangier Island. The possibilities for fun are endless!!!

The location is excellent - around 10 minutes from the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel (designated “One of Seven Engineering Wonders of the Modern World” ), plus easy access to Virginia Beach and the Hampton Roads area.

Our Lower Eastern Shore area is a safe and family-friendly place - where people smile and say 'Hello' when passing on the sidewalk or grocery aisle and are happy to help you with directions, suggestions, changing a tire, etc.

I have a high standard for cleanliness and sanitation in Mockhorn Bay Retreat to protect our guests. Unlike the standard same-day turnover, I block off an extra day between rentals to allow for thoroughly cleaning and disinfecting the house.
