Captain Cropp also charters day trips to the abandoned barrier islands to enjoy shelling, bird watching, and fabulous scenic views.

We LOVED our stay. We cooked most meals in the home and found it to be well supplied with utensils/pots/pans etc. SUCH a wonderful location - easy walk to the beach, easy walk to downtown for nightly ice cream at Brown Dog. We walked our dogs several times daily and enjoyed the community park nearby as well. LOVED everything about this property and location.

Thank you for leaving us a wonderful review! We are so happy you all loved the home. We are grateful for guests like yourself that take great care of our home, and are genuinely a pleasure to host!
This was our second year at this home. We love it! It has a great yard for the dogs, and you can include a nice golf cart to drive around the community. The is excellent and responds quickly to any questions or concerns. Beds are super comfortable and the kitchen is well stocked with everything you need to prepare food. Cape Charles is a great little town to visit.

We are so happy you returned to Cape Escape and enjoyed your stay! Thank you for taking great care of our home, and we welcome your return!
Just as advertised! Clean property close to everything. Accommodated us with our 3 dogs, with no hassle. The gold cart was a great addition to our trip too! Thanks for the stay!
Great stay! The location was convenient for getting kids to the park, being a short walk or golf cart ride to the beach, and also to shops and restaurants. House was clean, beds were comfortable, great water pressure in the shower, well-supplied kitchen with nicely sharp knives (makes all the difference for prepping snacks and meals!), and quick and thorough communication with the host.
Ashley the owner was kind and very quick to respond to any questions. The property was clean and the bedrooms were a good size, nice front porch, and we were also able to use beach items from the shed. The living/dining area was small. We had 6 people and it was cramped. The picnic-bench dining table was also hard to get in and out of if people in your party have mobility issues. The back yard was full of weeds and needed some maintenance. Overall the property was not the best value compared to other properties we have stayed in Cape Charles.

Thank you for your feedback! We are glad you were pleased with our cleaning company and enjoyed the many additional amenities we provide at the property. We provide many photos of our property to offer complete transparency of the home. We are happy to hear the bedrooms were a sufficient space, and apolgize you didn't feel the living space was comfortable for your group.
The farmhouse dining table, as listed in the photo's has 2 benches that are not connected to the table. I haven't previously heard there were any challeges due to mobility issues but will certainly have this looked into for future guest.
We do our very best to provide a 5 star property, and thankfully we have maintained this rating with very happy guests. We hope you are able to find a property that better suits your group in the future.
The host was incredibly helpful and genuine. The home was cozy, clean and full of amenities that made us feel right at home. I was able to walk our dog daily to the beach where we enjoyed sea glass hunting and watching the sun set each night.
This is a cute place to stay in CC! The home was inviting, cozy, and clean. It came with everything a family would need to stay safe with littles around. It also had items to enjoy the beach. Ashley had great communication as a host. Highly recommend this stay!!
Great spot for a family or a girls weekend near the bay. Walking distance to everything.

About the host
Hosted by Ashley Sabo
We began hosting on VRBO 12 years ago with the desire of owning a vacation home and having guests enjoy it as well. Our first home was purchased in VA, and since that time we have purchased 3 others in South Carolina. Hosting on VRBO and hearing about the wonderful memories our guests make in these homes has since become my passion.
My husband and I are originally from VA and Florida. We currently reside in Tega Cay, SC on Lake Wylie...yes we love the water (salt and fresh). My husband served in the US Marine Corp., then attended Montreat College, and I attended Clemson University and obtained my Bachelor's Degree in Nursing. We have 2 children, our son is a third-generation student at Clemson University, and our daughter is a Senior in High School. We also have two loving Labrador Retrievers, and understand the importance of traveling with your "Whole Family" (2- and 4-legged children).
Why they chose this property
We chose this area because I am originally from Charlottesville, VA and my parents currently live in Cape Charles. My husband enjoys fishing with my father on the Bay, and we simply love the Town of Cape Charles! We chose this location of Cape Charles, due to the nice quiet area, located on a street that does not have high traffic volume. It was also important to us to be located in historic Cape Charles, to allow our guests to enjoy the use of a golf cart if desired, and only a short distance from the beach.
What makes this property unique
This property offers a lovely double front-porch option, and a nice fenced-in backyard. It also has a storage building in the backyard that houses our 4 person golf cart, beach chairs, umbrella, and beach toys. The golf cart is available to rent for $225 per week, and pro-rated for shorter stays.
