Quick get-a-way

We planned a quick get-a-way and decided to come to Cape Charles to spend the day and stay over night. The house was charming with plenty of room. The owners communicated well and they were very accommodating on my last minute trip planning. The beach wasn’t far at all and town was in walking distance with nice weather. We came in March so it wasn’t perfect beach weather but we are hoping to come back when it’s warmer!

Charming home and town

We enjoyed our first time in Cape Charles and hope to go back to spend more time. This rental is a very charming older home in a neighborhood filled with the same! The home had everything we needed inside and landscaping and w wonderful front porch to enjoy outside. Loved that we could park the car and walk to shops, restaurants and to the beach. Looking forward to another visit.

Beautiful house in a perfect location

We only stayed a couple of nights to visit with family who were in Cape Charles for a week. This house was perfect for our family. Clean, beautiful, well appointed, comfortable beds, wonderful hosts. The location was great - less than one block to the beach and a short walk to town. I parked and did not drive again until we left. The screened front porch was a great spot for family to gather. I adore this house!!

Fun Girls Getaway

My friend and I rented the Bay Cottage for a relaxing fun weekend in Cape Charles. This was our first visit to the area. The location is great, not even a block to the beach. We were able to park the car Friday and walked all over town and didn't get back in the car until we left. The water pressure in the shower is fantastic. The house was clean when we arrived. Loved sitting on the front porch talking. Visiting Cape Charles was fun. There are several unique shops and restaurants and friendly people.

Beautiful stay!

We had an absolutely wonderful stay! It is much cuter in person than the pictures showed. Overall, the place was clean and we had all the amenities we needed during our stay. Mr. Rick called to check on us during our first day and that was appreciated. And, the close walk to the beach and shops was great. The front porch was our favorite place to drink coffee and enjoy the beautiful weather.

Quick little trip with my husband and it was just right. Communication with owner was clear and concise. Breakfast @ Rayfield's, dinners at The Shanty and Deadrise Pizza were all good choices during our stay. We would definitely like to return during the warmer months to take full advantage of the close proximity to the water.

Delightful beach house

We thoroughly enjoyed our week at this beach house. Located right across the street from the beach this house perfect place for a summer beach vacation. We were 4 adults and two kids ages 3 & 5. There was plenty of room to relax either on the screened in porch or the livingroom after a day on the beach. The kitchen was well stocked and the diningroom has plenty of seating. The bedrooms were spacious and the beds were comfortable. Located close to a park for kids as well as lots of restaurants and shops. There was plenty to like about this house!

Beautiful House

This house is beautiful, looks like it has a lot of original details. It made a wonderful setting for our family to relax together. We had a small issue with the lights, and the owners were fantastic. They responded immediately, helped us fix the problem, and even sent an electrician to make sure everything was safe (he said it was likely a manufacturing issue with a lightbulb- no problems with the house). We had an excellent time, and hope to get back there soon!

Why they chose this property

The town is charming ...older homes, sidewalks, a 'Main Street' in walking distance, and friendly people. It is quiet, with that small town feel. 'A step back into time'.The area is full of history, activities and exploration. Its close proximity to the Chesapeake Bay and Atlantic Ocean provide different water experiences. There is a new, upscale marina with shops and a golf village in town. Cape Charles is a day's drive (just a little over 9 hrs.) from our home in Ohio. The Eastern shore is a beautiful area, some have described it similar to the Outer banks and Long Island as it was thiry years ago. The pace is calm and easy here. We have met many people who have been drawn to the area for the same reasons, with whom we have become friends, and look forward to seeing again.
