Great place, great time!

We’ve been to Cape Charles multiple times and this has been our best stay so far! The house is roomy and equipped with pretty much anything you’ll need for your stay. The host is friendly and prompt. The beds are okay, but at least there are plenty of options! We’d definitely stay here again.

We ABSOLUTELY LOVED our stay at The Lighthouse. The home was even better than the photos, along with the back yard and garage which my granddaughter named the Fun House! Christine was wonderful to work with and we hope to rent here again next year!

We absolutely loved our stay at the Lighthouse! It was our first time in Cape Charles and we quickly fell in love with the town—the charm, the beach, the restaurants, and the wonderful people. (Smitty from the Golf Cart shop even fixed the bikes for free!) The house was perfect for us. The rooms were spacious, very clean, and well-kept, and the outdoor space was ideal for relaxing, hanging out, and playing. The location couldn’t have been better—just a quick walk or ride to the beach and Main Street. The host was wonderful—very helpful and full of great recommendations that made our stay even better. We can’t wait to come back and will absolutely be staying at the Lighthouse again!

Great Family Space!

Visited with our family including 2 adult children and mother in law and thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Kitchen had everything needed to prepare meals at home, front porch and back patio areas were lovely and enjoyed every day. 1st floor bedroom was very helpful for an older guest. Upstairs master bedroom was fabulous and the two additional upstairs rooms provided space for the younger crew. Each room having a bathroom was a real luxury! Wonderful stay! .

Clean, Well Stocked, Great Backyard

Loved the proximity of town and the beach, the backyard and great communication. The only thing I wish I knew is that the one bigger bunk room is open to the rest of the house which made sleeping with kids a bit more challenging. Otherwise, definitely a beautiful, clean home. Thank you so much!

About the host

Hosted by Christine

Host profile image
I'm Christine and my husband is John. We have 3 children Nicholas, Brooke and Jamie. We moved to Virginia Beach from New York 17 years ago. John has been an Electrician since the age of 16, had a business in New York and started a new business in Virginia Beach. Eleven years ago he was asked to do an electrical job in Cape Charles for a new home that was being built. Once he laid his eyes on that fishing pier that was it! That night he came home it was all he could talk about. Two days later we took a ride over with our fishing poles and spent the whole day there. We did some fishing, had lunch, browsed through the shops, walked around, looked at all the old houses and said some day we will have a house here! And here we are eleven years later, our dream came true.

Why they chose this property

We looked at ALOT and I mean ALOT of homes for sale in Cape Charles. This one was one of the first that we looked at. We kept coming back to it but kept thinking there was something better like everyone does. But I'm so happy we choose this house. I love the fact that every bedroom has it own bathroom. The size of the bedrooms are very nice, so many houses had such small bedrooms. I like how open it is and the fact that it has a garage. Most homes here do not have a garage. After we put much sweat and hard work into it, it's just perfect for us!

What makes this property unique

We love the fact that this house is so close to the beach and just around the corner from the town it's just the perfect location. We did look at a few others that we liked but they were not as close to the beach or the town.
