A Five Star property: very spacious, beautiful views, great decks , hot tub, fire pit, well equipped kitchen with a nicely stocked pantry way beyond my expectation. Comfortable spacious bedrooms. Our Host was top notch. We mistakenly unplugged the router. I texted our host and within 5 minutes our Internet was restored. Note: E&O (Elephant and Octopus) Restaurant in Cape Charles has a delicious “Buck a Shuck” happy hour weekdays 3-5pm fresh from two local oyster beds. Other menu item are creative and well prepared.

100% awesome place! The house is a modern beach mansion, still has that “new house” smell. The location can’t be beat, right on your private beach. We will be back for sure. This place is a gem. Watching movies in the theater room was an added over the top bonus. Thank you!

The house has an unobstructed view of the Bay, is secluded and lovely. It is very well equipped.

Our family gathered here for a vacation after a busy action packed summer. The house offered a quiet retreat for us and we had a great time. Highly recommend this home.

Just like it was represented on VRBO! Excellent property, rooms were great with plenty of space. The furnishings were complete and in working order. Every detail was thought of - even a firepit that was prepared to light!

This was a great house for the 14 of us - which included 6 children ages 7 and under. It was clean and had almost everything we needed. We loved the location that was so close to the beach without being right on it, so we didn't quite have to worry that the littles were going to inadvertently venture into the water. Romy was responsive to our questions and needs. The kids loved the game room where they could snuggle with a blanket and watch a show or movie before bedtime - which provided some nice quiet time for the adults. We loved that the town, a great brewery and grocery shopping were not too far of a drive, along with some farmer stands for local produce - and don't miss out on the state park which is just down the road. Someone had mentioned the privacy of the beach - yes, we found that locals do come down and use the steps to access the beach, though we never had a problem with them - they were polite and respected our privacy by going down the beach a bit rather than staying in front of the house. Would we consider staying there again? For sure!

Wonderful beach vacation

This home was exactly what we wanted for our family vacation with little kids and grandparents. Plenty of room, very comfortable, clean, and so close to the beach. Not many people on the beach so it felt relatively private; water was gentle and good for kids. Fun to visit the town and then relax at the house by the water in such a peaceful spot.

Jewel on the bay

Picketts Harbor is a wonderful retreat. We loved the walks along the secluded shore and enjoying the beautiful sunset over the bay. From the host to the caretakers, everyone was very friendly and quick to respond to any questions. The house was well appointed with everything we needed for our stay. The whole family enjoyed their stay!

Fabulous vacation house!

Beautiful property with view of the bay. We had a glorious family reunion here with people of all ages. The beach was beautiful and secluded and the hot tub was great for the couple of overcast days we had. Plenty of kids toys, games, floaties, beach chairs and towels, whatever we needed was there. Communication with the owner was superb.

Awesome times with Family & Friends

We have a yearly cousins get- together and we picked Cape Charles and Chesapeake Bay this time. Glad we did that, the views are spectacular, you got the beach almost to yourself. The hosts were super nice, responsive and caring for anything we needed. Kids and all family had a wonderful time creating so many beautiful memories.
