The property had everything needed for our stay. The backyard was perfect for our dogs. It is located in a friendly, quiet neighborhood. We loved being able to walk to the beach, restaurants and shops. Communication with the host was excellent. We would love to return for another visit.

Christina was a great host!Very responsive and worked with us on special requests. This house is in the perfect location and quiet street/neighborhood. The fenced backyard was delightful for us and the dogs. A variety of games and outdoor items. The first floor bedroom was exactly what we needed AND a king bed!We will be back

Beautiful Bungalow

We enjoyed our stay in this beautiful bungalow. It was especially nice having a fenced in back yard for our doggies to enjoy. Very close to the bay and restaurants. The host was very responsive to our questions. The neighborhood felt safe and we met friendly people. The bungalow was well stocked. Thank you for a comfortable stay.

Charming, clean and cozy

Great house - so clean, charming and cozy. Perfect spot for enjoying all that Cape Charles has to offer. A warm and welcoming home away from home with so many special touches throughout, which made R&R immediate and lasting. Loved the first floor master and easy access charging cord for the golf cart (a CC Ryder golf cart is a must have for the total Cape Charles experience) We miss it already and hope to visit again.

Great Time on the Cape

The owner was very responsive to any questions I had about the property. The property was clean and a joy to stay in and had everything we needed for a weeks stay. Close to the heart of the town and the beach, however I recommend renting a golf cart for ease of travel. Book the golf carts early because they run out of inventory quickly. It was the perfect place to relax for a week.

Best rental ever!

This thoughtfully designed, comfortable, clean and well stocked house is the best VRBO I’ve ever rented. For the first time ever I didn’t want to leave and tried to schedule for the same time next year. (But it’s already booked) For such a small house it lives comfortably for a family of six. I also have to say the beds/pillows are comfortable!
