Cape Charles charm

It was a wonderful apt with a great location to walk to everything. Shop owners were all super friendly! Our only disappointment was that the beach was actually closed the first 2 days for “reconstruction “ and the main reason we chose there was to walk to the beach.

Daughters wedding

My daughter was married at Mimosa Barn and my husband and I (from Mass) stayed at the Beach Retreat. It was better than the what the photos portrayed and was perfect for two people (plus my daughter the night before the wedding). The owner was very gracious and we will definitely stay there again if it's available.

Late summer stay

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, perfect for our little family of 3. Ideal location on the main thoroughfare; steps from the beach, ice cream (goals for our 2yr old), and shopping (for mom). The apartment was well appointed, very clean… we had a great time and are already looking forward to our next trip to the ES.

Long weekend in Cape Charles

The apartment was clean and as expected. The property manager with Blue Heron Realty reached out to ask if they could bring some new furniture in, which was no problem for us. However, we waited until they arrived and then went out to dinner. When we returned the front door to the unit was wide open. I texted to inform her and have yet almost 24 hours later received an apology or explanation.

Loved this rental!

This rental was overall tidy. It had everything we needed and was close to the beach. Will definitely be staying here again. The check in process was a little off, the company had given the wrong apartment number with the code to access, so I did have to go to the real estate company since no one would respond on VRBO messages.

Great home and location but it could be a little cleaner

Very nice home, tastefully furnished and good location. I found a dead roach in the bedroom and the sheet in one of the rooms had a strand of hair on it which was not a pleasant sight. Other than that a great stay.

Quaint in every way

Excellent little get away for two as long as you go before Labor Day weekend. The holiday weekend marks the closing of most attractions in town, which was not reflected in the price of the rent. The apartment was clean and well decorated.

Spacious, tidy apartment in the heart of Cape Charles

We stayed at this awesome property for a 4-day getaway, it was perfect for our family of 3. Walking distance to all of Cape Charles Main Street shops, as well as the beach and fishing pier. The apartment was amazingly spacious and clean, the kitchen fabulously well stocked, we really could not have asked for more. Would love to stay again on our next trip!

Enjoyable Getaway

We had a wonderful three days at Cape Charles. The property was spacious, very clean and perfectly located. It's a great town to walk and we had especially nice weather, so we enjoyed sunsets each evening. It was the perfect getaway for us.

Convenient and cosy apartment

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We stayed for a few days in this cosy apartment near shops, restaurants, and the beach in Cape Charles. We spent much of our time at the areas nature preserves, photographing migratory birds. We enjoyed the location of the apartment since we could walk to most everything in Cape Charles. We also enjoyed sitting on the deck. The small kitchen in the apartment is well outfitted with everything one needs for basic cooking. The living area is comfortable and welcoming and the bed was comfortable. We were completely satisfied with the accommodations.

Best Location!!

This is Unit B. Very clean with the softest carpet- all seems new. I walked everywhere- long walks- short walks- walks by the water- to the shops to the restaurants. This place is close to everything. Comfy beds. Nice towels and lots of them. The desk is a working stand up desk and has a great chair with it. Constructive criticism- the ice maker did not work and there are no lamps in the living area - only over head ceiling fan lights. The ceiling fans are totally cool though. One lamp in one bedroom. Be warned the sofa is soft and low to the floor. Hard to get off it if you have trouble like that. Oh yes. 22 stairs and no elevator. We were not prepared for that but managed. The deck is on the back but was an incredible place to start the day and then later watch the night fall. Great furniture out there. All in all- a great place in a great town at a good price.
