This house was perfect for our family of 12. The location just can’t be beat - steps from the ocean - and the sunset views are beautiful. Bedrooms are roomy and comfortable, there are plenty of bathrooms, and the kitchen had everything we needed. MG is a wonderful host. Highly recommend!

Location, location, location! It doesn't get better than this house. We had a fantastic stay at this beautiful beach house. Three families (with young kids!) shared the space comfortably--it was perfect for our group. The house was clean, spacious, and well-equipped for both adults and littles. MG was great to communicate with and available when needed! We will be booking again for next year.

You can not beat the location of this house in Cape Charles! You cross the street and you’re on the beach. You walk one block and you’re among the many charming shops and restaurants in Cape Charles. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will probably come back in the next couple of years.

Best spot on the bay!

This house is a real gem! It was large, clean, beautifully decorated, and at the corner of the bay and all the shops. We could walk everywhere, including church and the park. But the best part was the sunset views from the porch. We can't wait to come back to Cape Charles!

Great stay!

We enjoyed our trip to this property. We had lots of space, and the location can't be beaten. The house was very well stocked with beach equipment and things to entertain our kids (2-8). The house itself is beautiful- tall ceilings, artwork, nice furniture. The lovely large pottery barn kitchen table and chairs made meal time easy given our large group. The host is also super responsive!

Beautiful home!

Cape Charles is a great little town to visit. This house is perfectly situated at the end of the block directly across from the beach. Walking distance to everything! The views from the porches are amazing. Great spots for morning coffee or a cocktail watching the sunset! House was exactly as described, host is great at communicating with you as well. We will definitely be back with the family in the summer.

Wonderful Stay

Beautiful and comfortable home, kitchen well equipped, terrific location across the street from the beach. Easy to go back and forth during the day for lunch and to put toddler grandson down for a nap. Easy walk to restaurants, ice cream store, shops, and a few bars. MG was a gracious and attentive host. We had 2 minor issues upon arrival and MG solved them quickly. Highly recommend for families with small children. Thank you MG

Beyond perfect

The house had plenty of room to spread out, every amenity you can think of in the kitchen and throughout the house, great wifi, a VERY responsive host, but even with all those accolades, it was the location that stole the show. This house is literally in the best spot in town. Great view, on the corner of beach road and town road, and right between Italian Ice touch and hot dog truck a block away. Have stayed in multiple houses in Cape Charles but we won’t be staying anywhere else again.

Cape Charles getaway

Everything was perfect! Our whole group live on the Eastern Shore just 50 miles north of Cape Charles. We wanted to have a fun weekend with our friends under one roof in a location that would take advantage of all Cape Charles has to offer - beach, sunsets, shopping, restaurants all within walking distance. The house was well equipped, perfect location. Communication excellent and quick to respond to all questions. Would definitely recommend 5 stars

Just Perrfect!

We loved the house. It was perfect for our family of 6 adults and 5 young kids. We were able to put two pack n plays in the back master bedroom closet for 1yr old twins to sleep. The open kitchen, dining living room was perfect for us all to spend time together. The large dining table was perfect for meals and playing games. We spent a lot of time on the porch and the balcony. Both were beautiful to gather for breakfast or sunsets or reading.. the proximity to the beach and the town was ideal since our kids were all under the age of 5. We would love to stay here again!

Wonderful stay on the bay!

This home was just perfect for our family of 6 adults and 3 small children. It was even more spacious than the photos in the listing indicated, — very bright, clean, cheery, and conducive to family hangouts when we weren’t enjoying the beach RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET or exploring Main Street right around the corner. The kitchen was well appointed, beach chairs and towels were provided, and there was even a beach cart, cooler, and sand toys available if needed. MG was very responsive to any questions and made us feel so welcomed. I would highly recommend staying here — ideal home base for experiencing all that Cape Charles had to offer.
