Right in Historic Cape Charles!!! Just a minute walk to the Marina and a few minute walk to the beach, this Victorian beach house has all the modern comforts downstairs, with a huge modern kitchen, spacious living room with gas fireplace and brand new half bath, coupled with the sweet charm of a chic cottage upstairs with three bedrooms and a full bath.

Outside it has a large fenced yard with a big back patio for BBQing and hanging out. It has a private outdoor shower with a full closed in changing area and a shed packed with beach cruiser bicycles, beach toys, chairs, umbrellas, lawn games such as corn hole....everything you could need for a family fun packed getaway.

All attractions are just a walk, bike or golf cart ride away! We have a 5 passenger golf cart with utility cart available for separate rental fee and must be pre-arranged.

The house has a good size master with a Queen size bed (sleeps 2) as well as a family suite that has one room with a full size bed (sleeps 2) and another with bunk beds (sleeps 2).

Our property has a washer/dryer combo unit great for small loads and we provide all the fresh linens and towels you could need!

Perfect set up

We had a great stay. Owner was very easy to reach, although we had everything we needed it was nice knowing she was responsive if something arouse. The setup of the house was perfect for our group and was as expected from the listing. Would absolutely book again. The option to add on the golf cart was amazing. The house was clean and spacious. Thank you for a great trip.

Overall stay was enjoyable, house was clean and accommodating. Check in and out were easy, host was communicative. House is an older home that had been partially renovated, the upstairs is cooled by window AC units as well it is not a true 3 bedroom. Upstairs bathroom is okay, not the best for bathing children, needs updating. The appliances are all in need of upgrading, the washer/dryer unit was not functioning which was a huge inconvenience for us, as we specifically only rent where we can do laundry, as well the dishwasher broke mid way through our stay.

Great Week Away

We really enjoyed our stay. The outdoor shower was a major bonus! The house was tidy, had ample towels and beach towels to borrow, washing machine, games, books, coffee, no clutter and Lenore was super responsive throughout our stay. We rented the golf cart for a couple days, which was fun and made traveling around town very convenient.

Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Girls weekend

Lenore’s place was perfect for a weekend getaway with my mom! The house was as described/pictured and met all our needs. Beds were comfy and the neighborhood was very quiet, so very restful after spending our days exploring all Cape Charles has to offer. Great weather, beach, bakeries, parks, wine tastings, restaurants, sunsets, and ice cream! Couldn’t have asked for a better weekend. Thank you!

Great stay

Our family had the best time in Cape Charles. We loved that we could park our car for the week and golf cart everywhere. The house was a short ride to everything- the beach, restaurants, put put golf, etc. We loved having an outdoor shower for easy clean up for the kids after our beach days.

Enjoyed our after Labor Day stay

Cape Charles is a beautiful town on the bay and did not disappoint with the a clean beach and small town atmosphere. Plenty of great places to eat and try some local craft brews. The house was nice with the updated kitchen being the highlight of the property. We enjoyed our walks to the beach and around town, being the active people we are, but it is just short of a mile to the beach from this location. If you are not up for that, no problem, just consider adding the golf cart rental from the property owner.

Wonderful place for a relaxing vacation

We had a great trip to Cape Charles. The host was so kind, communicative, and provided everything we'd need for a great visit. Really helpful to have all of the beach gear at the house, so we didn't have to pack it. The house is a great size for a family and in a great location for exploring the beach and the town. Highly recommend!

Perfect for a Fun Visit

The house was well equipped, clean and a great space for a family visit, especially with COVID still raging. We were able to have dinners with family at the well appointed dinning table, as well as spend time on the little patio. Having a washer/ dryer was a great bonus and if you need groceries, the store is not even a ten minute car ride. We would definitely stay here again!

Cozy home, close to beach and shops!

Wonderfull rental in a quiet neighborhood. Home has a large kitchen, sitting area and three bedrooms. Downstairs 1/2 bathroom is a plus and so is the huge yard. Owner is very service minded, provides for all that is needed. All that makes a stay at this particular home, relaxing and memorable!

About the host

Hosted by DeBellis

Host profile image
Lenore & Rocco have been vacationing in Cape Charles since 2013 when they took their first family vacation there and fell in love!!! They knew then that the 23310 was a very special place. In 2017, they purchased the "Jay House" with the thoughts of one day retiring...but within 6 months knew they didn't want to wait and made Cape Charles their home in 2018 full time. Since then, they have moved out to the waterfront to a more rural area and now enjoy sharing The Jay House with other families. They are also the owners of Love + Rosemary, a well known catering company on the shore and Edible Picasso Co. a cafe/store in downtown Cape Charles.

Why they chose this property

Lenore & Rocco's favorite thing about their home on Jefferson is the big modern kitchen and living room space, gorgeous yard and it's location...close to everything but somehow away from the crowds.

Premier Host

They consistently provide great experiences for their guests
