Family Reunion

The house worked perfectly for our family reunion. It was an easy walk to downtown and to the beach. The kitchen and living/dining area was open and welcoming. Everyone enjoyed the house and its location.

Great Family Space!

Visited with our family including 2 adult children and mother in law and thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Kitchen had everything needed to prepare meals at home, front porch and back patio areas were lovely and enjoyed every day. 1st floor bedroom was very helpful for an older guest. Upstairs master bedroom was fabulous and the two additional upstairs rooms provided space for the younger crew. Each room having a bathroom was a real luxury! Wonderful stay! .

Great place, great time!

We’ve been to Cape Charles multiple times and this has been our best stay so far! The house is roomy and equipped with pretty much anything you’ll need for your stay. The host is friendly and prompt. The beds are okay, but at least there are plenty of options! We’d definitely stay here again.

Clean, Well Stocked, Great Backyard

Loved the proximity of town and the beach, the backyard and great communication. The only thing I wish I knew is that the one bigger bunk room is open to the rest of the house which made sleeping with kids a bit more challenging. Otherwise, definitely a beautiful, clean home. Thank you so much!

Nice property, would stay again!

We spent a mid-May week at the Lighthouse Inn. Spacious, clean, many bathrooms, plenty of beach/recreation equipment provided. We only used the sand toys, but everything looked well kept. Pros: - Location can’t be beat. A block off the main street, a few blocks from the beach, and a few blocks from the city park. - Plenty of space for our family group of four adults and a toddler. We liked the configuration of three bedrooms up, one on the main floor. The master suite is really large. - Kitchen was well equipped. Everything in the house was in good working order. - Nice to have heat/cooling controls on both levels. - Beds were comfy. Cons: - Equipment listed a high chair, but there wasn’t one in the house. Quickly remedied once we contacted the owner. - We had issues with small ants in the dining & kitchen area. Owner immediately provided traps and spray, but the issue persisted on and off all week. I know they plan to treat for them right after we leave, so my guess is that this won’t be an issue for future guests. - The property is very nice inside but has a lot of fragile knickknacks. We’d expect to do some toddler-proofing anyplace to keep things out of reach, but this was quite a bit to move and then replace when we left. Fortunately, there were plenty of closets for storage. But if you are traveling with small kids, plan to spend some time at the beginning and end to make sure the items are kept safe. Overall a very good stay and we'd rent again!

Perfect spot!

This is the second time we have stayed at your lovely property for the 100 mile CBES fundraising bike ride. It's always perfect. Beds are comfortable. Home is spotless. Communication is excellent. Check-in is SO SO SO simple. Access to the outdoor gas fire pit would have been wonderful. We hope to see you for the same weekend-and the same bike ride- next year.

Love the Lighthouse Inn

Our family was in town for a wedding, we wanted to be within walking distance to town. This property is one street back from the shopping/dining area, it was SO convenient. We were not fans of the city tap water for drinking, but the refrigerator water dispenser has a filter and you might want to bring a jug of filtered water for the coffee maker. We hope to return to CC and stay at the property again when we have more time to explore the area and take advantage of the inviting back yard.

5th Annual Cape 9 golf trip to Cape Charles.

This house is great for groups; so many beds. Christine's house is beautiful, clean, well-appointed, comfortable, etc. Unfortunately, the local golf course, Bay Creek, has gone private and it is more difficult to make a tee time. We had our last outing the past 2 days and will probably look elsewhere for our 6th annual trip. We will miss The Lighthouse; I can't say enough good things about it! We will miss you Christine!

Cream of the Crop in Cape Charles

We so enjoyed our stay at The Lighthouse Inn. It was just the right fit for our family, and each bedroom having a bathroom was nice. The kitchen was well stocked with anything and everything you might need. The location was amazing with quick access to the beach and restaurants. The bicycles, kayak and pink pong table were extra treats. What fun!!! We hope to return next year!!!

Great location and house for a weekend stay!

We had a wonderful time staying in Cape Charles. The house was located both near town and the beach. We rented a golf cart and loved being able to zip from the house to town to the beach to the playground at the park. The house is cute and the beds are super comfortable. Christine was a great host!

About the host

Hosted by Christine

I'm Christine and my husband is John. We have 3 children Nicholas, Brooke and Jamie. We moved to Virginia Beach from New York 17 years ago. John has been an Electrician since the age of 16, had a business in New York and started a new business in Virginia Beach. Eleven years ago he was asked to do an electrical job in Cape Charles for a new home that was being built. Once he laid his eyes on that fishing pier that was it! That night he came home it was all he could talk about. Two days later we took a ride over with our fishing poles and spent the whole day there. We did some fishing, had lunch, browsed through the shops, walked around, looked at all the old houses and said some day we will have a house here! And here we are eleven years later, our dream came true.

Why they chose this property

We looked at ALOT and I mean ALOT of homes for sale in Cape Charles. This one was one of the first that we looked at. We kept coming back to it but kept thinking there was something better like everyone does. But I'm so happy we choose this house. I love the fact that every bedroom has it own bathroom. The size of the bedrooms are very nice, so many houses had such small bedrooms. I like how open it is and the fact that it has a garage. Most homes here do not have a garage. After we put much sweat and hard work into it, it's just perfect for us!

What makes this property unique

We love the fact that this house is so close to the beach and just around the corner from the town it's just the perfect location. We did look at a few others that we liked but they were not as close to the beach or the town.
