About this property

Cape Escape-Short Walk to Beach, Pet Friendly, Fenced Yard & Optional GC Rental

Beautiful beach house with fenced in yard, double porches and the comfort of a "home away from home" for your Cape Charles Vacation. This home is a short walk to the beach (4 blocks), one block from the town park and public Tennis/Pickle Ball Courts, and just around the corner from the wonderful Oyster Farm Restaurant and Events Venue.
It offers three bedrooms and 2 1/2 baths with an outdoor shower. The spacious master bedroom is furnished with a king-size bed and adjoining full bathroom, 40" Smart Flat Screen TV, and home office space on the 3rd-floor private level. There are two guest bedrooms and a full bathroom on the second floor; one bedroom offers a queen-sized bed and a 32" Smart Flat Screen TV, with a door to the upper-level porch to enjoy the evening breeze. The third bedroom is perfect for adults and children, furnished with a full over full-size bunk bed, a twin trundle bed, and a 32" Flat Screen TV. This room also offers an Infant Pack-N-Play, Baby Gate, Board Games, Children's Books, and a door to the upper-level porch, which is secured with an upper lock if needed to ensure safety for children.
The living area has an open floor plan between the kitchen and the living room. The living room offers a 50" Samsung Flat Screen Smart TV, a comfy sleeper sofa (queen), and two swivel chairs. Our home has Free Wi-Fi, Spectrum Cable, Roku's, and all the Smart TVs' features.
The kitchen is well furnished for dining in; all updated stainless steel appliances, pots & pans, and small appliances (crock pot, toaster, blender, coffee maker, etc). We also have a nice custom farmhouse dining table, a bar area, and an infant high chair for dining.
The backyard is perfect for grilling out, with a gas grill, picnic table, and fenced-in yard. We also offer an outdoor shower, storage shed, and 4 beach chairs. We have a golf cart available to rent for $275 per week and adjusted rates for shorter stays. There is a security camera placed on the front porch for additional security while the home is vacant and during turnover, however, we do not keep it on while you are occupying the home.
Take advantage of one of the best Charter Captains on the Eastern Shore, Wilson Cropp, to guide you on an amazing fishing excursion to catch the Eastern Shores finest: Flounder, Red Drum, Cobia, Striper, or Shark. Captain Cropp also charters day trips to the abandoned barrier islands to enjoy shelling, bird watching, and fabulous scenic views.
Historic Cape Charles is the best-kept secret on the Eastern Shore, with the most amazing sunsets, fishing, birdwatching, canoeing, kayaking, biking, or simply relaxing to your favorite book with your feet in the sand. There are also many wonderful restaurants and fun shops in downtown Cape Charles. It has been featured in Coastal Living as one of America's "Happiest Beach Towns," as well as Beach Front Bargain Hunt on HGTV, and Southern Living. Cape Charles has something to offer every family or group looking to have a fun relaxing beach get away!

Spring break trip
Great trip for spring break! The house is perfectly situated walking distance between the main park and beach. Having the golf cart available worked well for travel to and from the downtown shops and eateries. Ashley was easy, flexible, and very prompt to communicate with. This was our second trip to Cape Charles, this house was cozy and comfortable and truly felt like a vacation!

Felt like home
Ashley was great, and so was the house! Perfect location, great communication, everything you could need was all available. Cape Charles is a special place for our family and we can honestly say that after renting many different places, Cape Escape felt like a home away from home.

Beach Lovers
We thoroughly enjoyed our 4 night stay! This house is very comfortable and the owners thought of it all! Renting the golf cart is a must do and provided comfortable transportation to the beach with chairs and bags. The location was good and we felt very safe. Cape Charles is a lovely town with gracious people, delicious food and very relaxing. We would love to rent again.

Perfect beach home
We had an awesome stay! Rental was very clean and very well stocked. The location was great and only a short walk to the beach. We opted for the golf cart rental which made getting to the beach and around town fun and easy. The doggies loved the fenced back yard! We really can’t find anything negative about our stay, it was perfect and we would definitely stay here again. Thank you very much for sharing your home with our family!!

Another Great Stay
This was our third trip to Cape Charles and second time staying at Cape Escape. Everything was absolutely great in the house and exactly as described in the listing. Everything was provided - plenty of linens, towels, paper products, detergents, etc. We were a group of six (2 parents, 2 grandparents, and 2 kids) and the setup met our needs perfectly. Both stays we've traveled with a pet and Ashley was perfectly accommodating. Check-in was seamless and we rolled right into our vacation. The location is great, just a couple of blocks to the beach. The historic section of Cape Charles is small, so everything is walkable or runnable, though we rented the golf cart too (a must!) in order to enjoy zipping around town. The house is also a block from the park, which made it easy to enjoy the Saturday evening concert even after a day of travel. Cape Charles is a very low-key vacation town. Almost everything shuts down by 8PM and it's pretty quiet throughout the day - exactly what we were seeking in a family vacation. You can relax, run, play in the park, go to the beach, check out the small shops, visit the local museum, or enjoy the restaurants/cafes. We didn't golf or fish, but those were also possible. All in all, Cape Charles and Cape Escape are both great places to visit and stay. Thanks again to Ashley and family for hosting us again!

Very comfortable home for our grown children and little dog!
We have been visiting Cape Charles every summer since 1987, both before and after children and a series of small dogs along the way. This “home away from home” was very accommodating for our family and just right for our preferences. Communication was very good and I knew that our quality of stay was important and valued by Ashley. We would certainly recommend as well as return in the future if possible.

The house was immaculate and very comfortable. The host was responsive to any questions. Highly recommend adding on the golf cart. Makes hauling stuff to the beach a breeze and although the town is small and very walkable, it’s convenient to have the cart. We would definitely stay here again if we return to Cape Charles.

We thoroughly enjoyed this wonderful house. Every amenity that I can think of was available. It was clean and well decorated. We made wonderful memories and would definitely stay again. We enjoyed the golf cart and the location was close to everything we love in Cape Charles. The host was also wonderful and immediately responsive to any questions that we had.

About the host

Hosted by Ashley Sabo

Host profile image
We began hosting on VRBO 12 years ago with the desire of owning a vacation home and having guests enjoy it as well. Our first home was purchased in VA, and since that time we have purchased 3 others in South Carolina. Hosting on VRBO and hearing about the wonderful memories our guests make in these homes has since become my passion. My husband and I are originally from VA and Florida. We currently reside in Tega Cay, SC on Lake Wylie...yes we love the water (salt and fresh). My husband served in the US Marine Corp., then attended Montreat College, and I attended Clemson University and obtained my Bachelor's Degree in Nursing. We have 2 children, our son is a third-generation student at Clemson University, and our daughter is a Senior in High School. We also have two loving Labrador Retrievers, and understand the importance of traveling with your "Whole Family" (2- and 4-legged children).

Why they chose this property

We chose this area because I am originally from Charlottesville, VA and my parents currently live in Cape Charles. My husband enjoys fishing with my father on the Bay, and we simply love the Town of Cape Charles! We chose this location of Cape Charles, due to the nice quiet area, located on a street that does not have high traffic volume. It was also important to us to be located in historic Cape Charles, to allow our guests to enjoy the use of a golf cart if desired, and only a short distance from the beach.

What makes this property unique

This property offers a lovely double front-porch option, and a nice fenced-in backyard. It also has a storage building in the backyard that houses our 4 person golf cart, beach chairs, umbrella, and beach toys. The golf cart is available to rent for $225 per week, and pro-rated for shorter stays.
