We were so happy with our stay! It was so comfortable for our family. We appreciated the games and toys for kids as well as the kayaks and paddle boards. It was so well stocked! So many vacation rentals leave you with only enough supplies for a few days. This home had plenty for the whole week. Kelly was quick to answer questions! Would highly recommend staying here!

Great location! The private beach was a nice amenity, especially for a quick swim or to watch the sunsets. The only thing that we wished we had was a better grill. The grill was small, dirty, and rusty. We love to grill out but was only able to once because it just didn’t work well. Thanks for a great stay- Cape Charles is a wonderful town!

Went on a family vacation with 5 adults and 4 kids. Everyone felt comfortable and had a great time. The house was exactly as described. It fit us all easily, with room to spare. The hosts were super attentive. The kitchen was fully stocked, there were ample extra towels and linens. The only issue with the cleanliness was that the carpets needed to be cleaned. However, Kelly informed us about this issue in advance. So it really was not a big problem. Overall, a great stay! Would highly recommend!

We had an amazing time at this property. The house is really well kept and well appointed. It was too early in the season for the pool to be open, but we were able to go to the beach and take advantage of many of the other activities available in town. So charming. We will definitely be back!

Great spot for our spring break mini trip!

The house was well-positioned (to beach and downtown), and well-appointed! We enjoyed being right by the bay and a short golf cart ride to downtown. The access to bicycles and kayaks was an added bonus! We’d recommend and hope to return!

Lovely getaway to Cape Charles

The house had everything we could need. It was bright, well furnished and the porch was a delight to sit in. We took the beach chairs and headed around the corner to sit on the beach in the late afternoon--perfect!
