Great location. The house has a character and it is charming. Quiet neighborhood and walking distance to restaurants and shops. Well equipped for a longer stay, we only stayed for 2 nights. Outdoor area is great.

Hummingbird Cottage exceeded our expectations in many ways. The front porch was very enjoyable for morning coffee looking towards the town park. The open space of LR, DR & kitchen let in lots of sunlight. Kitchen was incredibly well stocked. Mason Ave and the bay were an easy walking distance. Cottage seems very centralized, in the historic district, with many homes reflecting varied types of gardens. We would rent this Cottage again, without hesitation. Thx, Chris & Dianne

Unsafe Conditions and No Accountability. Bacteria in the water heater.We booked a two-night stay (Oct. 9–11, 2026) and discovered that the hot water coming from the faucets was BLACK. After reporting it, we were instructed to run the water for 5–10 mins. to flush the water heater. This did not fix the water and filled the house with an overwhelming sulfur smell that persisted throughout our stay. Many windows had no screens, making ventilation difficult. These conditions were completely unacceptable.Realtor visited Saturday and agreed the discoloration and odor were likely caused by bacteria in the water heater. She offered to move us for our final night but explicitly promised a FULL refund instead. That promise has not been honored.My dog drank the water and subsequently developed diarrhea. My veterinarian advised a bacterial infection from the water was a likely cause, prescribed antibiotics, and I incurred vet expenses.I am appalled that these are considered acceptable accommodations and deeply disappointed that neither the property management company nor VRBO will take responsibility. VRBO advertises its Book with Confidence Guarantee, yet I have been left chasing a refund after staying in a property with black hot water and an unbearable odor.Think carefully before booking with or trusting this sites promises of protection. We paid for safe, usable accommodations, received anything but.

We loved this little cottage! It was one of the nicest, coziest and Cleanest places we have ever stayed. Furniture was comfortable and showers both had rainshower heads. Location was great! The very cool park was right in front of the house & it is within walking distance to the downtown and the Bay. Our first night we walked there just in time for the sunset. The only negative is the Wi-fi is a bit spotty. I was surprised to get real door keys instead of a code for a keypad but it made sense once I saw how historic the house is. It would not be right to install that there. Overall, I would highly recommend!

Adorable cottage in prime location

This adorable historic Sears kit home is cozy and comfortable. The location is great- just a few blocks to the beach and to Mason Ave shops, so the whole town is walkable. It’s right across from the park and playground. One of the only negatives was that the master bedroom is very bright at 6 am (no blackout curtains), so this is a house for morning people. I would stay here again.

Our favorite quick getaway

This is our second time staying in Cape Charles and we loved this little cottage. Great location right on the big green/park area so our kids (11 & 9) could easily go out and roam around on their own. The outdoor furniture was pretty filthy when we took off the covers, but the property management was so nice to come over and really quickly work out a solution so we could enjoy the back deck. Beds were very comfortable (which is always hit or miss at a rental). We love Cape Charles and this was such a sweet little hideaway - we will definitely be back!

Great Space and Location

Our family of 4 with 2 young children enjoyed our stay in Cape Charles, especially the park access and front porch! The space worked really well for us overall. Our only 2 complaints were zero communication in response to inquiries in advance of our stay (both through vrbo and the property manager's email directly) and the HVAC system should be serviced.

The property is an older single family home that is very comfortable and has been very well updated throughout. Of particular note was the exceptionally updated and outfitted kitchen...a vast array of pots/pans/lids as well as dining and serving utensils; knives; cleaning materials; etc. A highlight was that the property had a professional look of holiday decorations which was much appreciated. A property that is highly recommended also for its proximity to the community's downtown and beach. One concern was the rental manager's unreasonable insistence on a photo copy of the renter's driver's license and a photo immediately taken to compare with that of on the license! This requirement exposes the renter to unnecessary potential circulation of personal data.

Thank you for the review. We're glad you found the home comfortable and well updated, and that the kitchen, holiday decorations, and convenient location near downtown and the beach stood out. Regarding the ID photos: we require a brief identity check (a copy of a driver’s license and a quick photo) as part of our safety and fraud-prevention procedures. We understand concerns about personal data and treat that information carefully — it’s used only for verification, kept secure. We’ll continue reviewing our process to ensure it balances guest privacy with security. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we'd be happy to welcome you back anytime.

Quaint and cozy cottage

Right away, we were impressed with the cleanliness and the tasteful style, making this feel more like a home than a rental. It felt very cozy and intimate, perfect for our family with little kids. The location across the park and near the playground was a plus. As was being four short blocks from the beach and Main Street. The house was really well stocked with extra paper goods, and the kitchen had all the knives, pots, bowls, dishes and glasses one would ever need. We will be back next year!

Best place to stay!

We absolutely loved our stay at the Hummingbird Cottage. It was so well located, right on the park, 5 minute walk to main drag (Mason Street), and 5 minute walk to the beach. The house is perfect for a family of four. The one level, open concept floor plan made watching the kids easy while we cooked and cleaned. We loved that we could walk right out and take our kids to the playground or a walk around the park. The house is also so adorable. Every room was nicely decorated. They really thought of every cute little detail. It was a very nice mix of modern and antique like touches. The kitchen had modern appliances and was a pleasure to cook dinner in. We loved sitting on the back porch at night and our kids loved running around the little backyard. There is a grill to use but we didn’t end up using it during our stay. If you visit Cape Charles and have a small family I highly recommend you stay at the Hummingbird cottage. You won’t regret it!

Great small cottage for family with young kids

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The location of Hummingbird cottage is excellent for families with young kids as it faces the town park. We had an issue with ants in the living room on the first day which made it difficult to sit on the sofa. The property management company responded quickly but the ants were still around for the length of our trip. Most of the home was neat and clean and well-appointed. The furniture on the back deck has not been swept and was not clean. I recommend installing an outdoor shower for guests to rinse sand off after the beach. We used the hose in the backyard. Worked ok.

I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Hummingbird Cottage was a great getaway. The house was comfortable and nice. The kitchen was well stocked, the front porch was wonderful right on the park, and the back deck was perfect for grilling. The location on the park and near the beach and restaurants was the best possible. The bath/shower in the second bedroom was the weak spot. It doesn’t drain well at all, the shower curtain hung narrowly around a claw tub leaves no room to not have it clinging to you and covers the shelves to put toiletries. We all ended up sharing the master shower. Otherwise it was lovely!
