About this property

Family Friendly 3 Blocks to Beach with Great Amenities

Welcome to our family-friendly Cape Charles beach retreat — thoughtfully designed for relaxing getaways, memory-making, and easy Eastern Shore living. We completely overhauled the home in 2018 with guests in mind, blending ESVA coastal charm with all the comforts of home to create the perfect escape for families, couples, or multi-generational vacations.

The home features a fully stocked kitchen ready for everything from pancake breakfasts to seafood dinners, comfortable living spaces to unwind after a beach day, smart TVs for all your streaming favorites, and new mattresses and bedding to ensure restful nights after long days in the sun.

Designed specifically for family travel, the layout includes two spacious primary bedrooms (one on the main level), each with king beds — ideal for two families vacationing together, grandparents joining the trip, or simply giving everyone a little extra space to relax.

For beach lovers and outdoor adventurers, we’ve stocked the house with everything you need to enjoy Cape Charles to the fullest. Guests have access to a stand-up paddleboard (SUP), adult two person kayak, two children’s kayaks, beach toys, chairs, umbrellas, and a beach wagon to make trips to the sand simple and stress-free.

Whether you’re spending your days exploring the calm Chesapeake Bay waters, biking through town, enjoying local restaurants and shops, or simply relaxing on the porch with family and friends, our home is the perfect base to experience everything Cape Charles and Virginia’s Eastern Shore have to offer.

We’d love to host your next beach getaway.

Very charming home in a great location with all of the necessities for a week-long stay. The bedrooms are well furnished and perfectly spaced along with 3 bathrooms. Bathrooms include tubs, which makes things easy for kids that are too little for showers. Such a great layout for larger families. The kitchen has everything you need to cook meals. The fridge and freezer is large. It’s a little low on storage space for groceries, but we just used the kitchen island counter to store our items and that worked out fine.Our host was very helpful and communicative regarding our stay. Check in and check out was very straightforward. We would absolutely book here again in the future.

Thank you, Marcos, for the thoughtful and detailed review. We’re delighted you enjoyed your stay and truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. We would love to host you again in the future!! As a family ourselves, we’ve tried to appoint the home with the kinds of comforts and touches we personally value when traveling together. And thank you as well for the feedback regarding grocery storage — that’s a very fair point. We’re already exploring ways to incorporate a dedicated pantry space into the home layout.

Our family of 4 rented awe shucks for the first time, and we had an absolute BLAST! The house was very well appointed for young children -- ours are 4 and 6 -- to include fun themed rooms, toys, coloring and other craft supplies, a giant beanbag chair, Tiki Toss game, and kid-friendly furniture. Thoughtful touches like a step stool for washing little hands in the upstairs shared full bath, and kids' dishes and cups. Kitchen was well appointed, including Tupperware. The living space was wonderful for the 4 of us, but could also see two families with young kids being able to share this space well. The king suites were beautiful, well appointed, lovely decor, and tons of storage options. Loved the giant downstairs full bath! Ample parking in front -- just ask your golf cart rental company for an extension cord for charging overnight. Wonderful and refreshing to arrive and have all beds made with bath linens supplied and readily accessible! We never dined al fresco, but the back porch space was beautiful and shaded well. Super grateful for our stay here and how comfortable and welcoming everything was -- can't wait to come back and stay here again!
