About this property

Southern Comfort on the Bay

Just a short stroll to the beach (approx.10 min. walk), Southern Comfort on the Bay, located in the historic district of Cape Charles, Virginia, offers luxury and comfort, while providing guests with the splendor and charm of a beautifully restored 1920s home. This home provides a perfect balance of old and new, and has all the modern conveniences of home, while preserving the charm and craftsmanship of the 1920s. Beautifully restored original heartwood pine floors and woodwork are much appreciated by our guests.

The restoration of the home provided many upgrades, including granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and beautifully tiled bathrooms. The kitchen has a state-of-the-art JenAir stove, with an indoor grill, which makes cooking fun for all. This property provides all the comforts of home that one desires while vacationing.

The game room will provide hours of fun and entertainment for children and adults alike. Games, books, and puzzles are available for all ages. Teens and adults alike will be unable to resist a foosball challenge.

Southern Comfort on the Bay is located one street over from Mason Street, where you will find restaurants and shops. Talented local artists display wonderful coastal paintings, jewelry, etc. for sale at the shops on Mason Street.

Get ready for some southern hospitality as you walk down Mason Street, as Cape Charles is known for its friendly Mayberry feel.

Don't forget to enjoy the great Cape Charles fishing pier. You just never know what you may find on your hook!

Please note that during June, July and August we focus on long term rentals only (weekly to monthly).

Great house, convenient location
Great property, conveniently located and walkable to just about everything you’ll want to see and do in Cape Charles. We enjoyed mornings and evenings on the front porch, the convenience of the outdoor shower after sandy trips to the beach and the game room area complete with foosball table. The house is not lavishly furnished - the bathrooms are perfectly adequate but not exceptional, and you may want to bring items like sharp knives for any cooking you plan to do - but we were happy with our stay here (family of 5 with 3 kids ages 8 and under).

Great Place to Stay in Cape Charles
Southern Comfort on the Bay was a nice fit for our group. The game room was a huge hit for the kids (6, 9 and 12). Nice well kept home. We were only a block and a half from the rest of our group and having a golf cart makes all the difference. Only complaint I have is we were not made aware of the ice maker not working.

The Cape Charles Experience!
Property owners communicate very well, home is in a great location, clean and safe for children. We especially appreciated the picket fence which made evenings on the porch a little less stressful with small children. Great value and amenities.

A Very Welcoming House
We just loved this house! It was very clean, had everything we needed in the kitchen and had a wonderful porch with rockers! It was a short 14 minute walk to the beach and we made sure to watch every sunset. We will be back!

Two weeks of relaxation
Our family stayed at Southern Comfort for 2 weeks. Debbie and her husband are lovely people. They are easy to communicate with and even sent us messages about events around town. They were so kind and brought my husband soap that they once sold at Southern Comfort. The house is comfortable and charming. It had everything we needed.

Quiet and relaxing week
We had a great stay at Southern Comfort. Debbie was very responsive to our needs and concerns. The house was charming, clean and comfortable. We enjoyed relaxing on the front porch. We cooked in the kitchen every day. We walked to church, shops and the beach. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to explore Cape Charles.

Lovely Randolph Ave. house
This is a lovely house. We enjoyed our stay very much. More information about the property would be helpful on the VRBO site. There are 2 lovely modern but period-piece bathrooms--one with a tub and one with a shower. It would have been helpful to know that there was one shower. The information about the town and property was in a drawer. The owner responded very quickly to all of our questions prior to the trip. Some of the questions before our trip at checkout could have been resolved with a paragraph and more information on the VRBO site. Answers to a couple of questions at the end of our trip when checking out, which required that we call the owner, who responded quickly, could have been noted in the information about the house in the drawer.

Reunited
After a long 15 months of Covid, we met up with friends that we saw last in Feb 2020 at Cape Charles. This property provided everything we needed. It was clean, comfortable and decorated nicely. The only thing that would have helped would have been for the checking in and out lists to be on a table. We did not know to turn the hot water on... we figured it out after the second persons shower... lol. We investigated and found the switch to flip. On our last day, I opened the coffee table drawer and found the instructions. It was all good!!! We had a blast and would highly recommend this property and the owner!! Thank you!!

Nice place
We were there for a wedding. Overall the place us very comfortable, and I would book it again. The sofa could use replacing. In sinks in the middle, and is very low to the ground. The upstairs bathroom toilet and sink are loose. It would also be great if you have access to a golf cart.

Lovely getaway
This was a lovely getaway - the home was clean, decorated in a relaxing, comfortable beach house way, and in a great location. We walked to the beach and the “Central Park” every day, which had a fun playground for the kiddos. Guests should pack their own drinking water and bring laundry detergent and any necessities for cooking/eating in (oil, foil, ziploc bags, etc). We loved Cape Charles!

About the host

Hosted by Debbie Suddeth

Host profile image
Our family visited Cape Charles to explore the Eastern Shore of Virginia years ago. We found that Cape Charles provides a great balance of activity, history, nature, and relaxation. With our busy schedules, we look forward to visits to "the shore" and have come to appreciate Southern Comfort on the Bay more than we ever imagined.

Why they chose this property

Our home is one of the nicest in Cape Charles, and we talk a lot of pride in maintaining the home to keep it clean, updated and comfortable for guests. Off street parking is on site which takes the headache out of parking!
