Great Week Away
We really enjoyed our stay. The outdoor shower was a major bonus! The house was tidy, had ample towels and beach towels to borrow, washing machine, games, books, coffee, no clutter and Lenore was super responsive throughout our stay. We rented the golf cart for a couple days, which was fun and made traveling around town very convenient.

Girls weekend
Lenore’s place was perfect for a weekend getaway with my mom! The house was as described/pictured and met all our needs. Beds were comfy and the neighborhood was very quiet, so very restful after spending our days exploring all Cape Charles has to offer. Great weather, beach, bakeries, parks, wine tastings, restaurants, sunsets, and ice cream! Couldn’t have asked for a better weekend. Thank you!

Thank you for a wonderful stay! Home had everything we needed, plenty of space for our family to hang out and play games during rainy days, the entire home was well-stocked with toiletries, towels and the like. The water cooler with water included was a nice surprise! Lenore was a great host and we look forward to coming back!

Enjoyed our after Labor Day stay
Cape Charles is a beautiful town on the bay and did not disappoint with the a clean beach and small town atmosphere. Plenty of great places to eat and try some local craft brews. The house was nice with the updated kitchen being the highlight of the property. We enjoyed our walks to the beach and around town, being the active people we are, but it is just short of a mile to the beach from this location. If you are not up for that, no problem, just consider adding the golf cart rental from the property owner.

Great time
We had a great stay! The location is perfect to take a quick golf cart ride to the beach or to the downtown area. The house was a great place to wind down and the outdoor shower helped keep the sand out of the house. The owner was great to communicate with the entire stay.

Wonderful place for a relaxing vacation
We had a great trip to Cape Charles. The host was so kind, communicative, and provided everything we'd need for a great visit. Really helpful to have all of the beach gear at the house, so we didn't have to pack it. The house is a great size for a family and in a great location for exploring the beach and the town. Highly recommend!

Perfect for a Fun Visit
The house was well equipped, clean and a great space for a family visit, especially with COVID still raging. We were able to have dinners with family at the well appointed dinning table, as well as spend time on the little patio. Having a washer/ dryer was a great bonus and if you need groceries, the store is not even a ten minute car ride. We would definitely stay here again!

Cozy home, close to beach and shops!
Wonderfull rental in a quiet neighborhood. Home has a large kitchen, sitting area and three bedrooms. Downstairs 1/2 bathroom is a plus and so is the huge yard. Owner is very service minded, provides for all that is needed. All that makes a stay at this particular home, relaxing and memorable!

First trip to Cape Charles
The house was a amazing and had a lot of charm. Great location to the beach and the marina. Lenore was an amazing host and let us know we could check in early. Renting the golf cart is a must!!! Makes it much easier to get around when you have little ones. The outside shower is pretty handy as well. Best trip ever and best house rental!!

Awesome Stay
We had a wonderful stay at The Jay House! The sleeping arrangements were perfect for me, my mother in law, and two young kids (2 & 5). The house was located within walking/biking distance to the playground and the beach. However, I highly recommend renting the golf cart! We took it everywhere we went all weekend. Lenore was super accommodating and even let us check in early.

Classic Cape Charles
This home is a wonderful example of a restored Cape Charles original. It has all the modern features you would want while capturing the feel of a small beach town property from another time. The home is well equipped and furnished, nicely located, and well maintained. The hosts are super responsive. We had a brief but very enjoyable say.

Enjoyed our stay!
My family (three generations) and I rented this house for five nights. The house is older and has lots of charm, but also has modern amenities (like a new kitchen and internet TVs). We were glad to have rented the golf cart, which made trips to Mason Ave. and the beach really quick. We also enjoyed the backyard. Lenore was a very responsive and accommodating host. We had a great vacation!

About the host

Hosted by DeBellis

Host profile image
Lenore & Rocco have been vacationing in Cape Charles since 2013 when they took their first family vacation there and fell in love!!! They knew then that the 23310 was a very special place. In 2017, they purchased the "Jay House" with the thoughts of one day retiring...but within 6 months knew they didn't want to wait and made Cape Charles their home in 2018 full time. Since then, they have moved out to the waterfront to a more rural area and now enjoy sharing The Jay House with other families. They are also the owners of Love + Rosemary, a well known catering company on the shore and Edible Picasso Co. a cafe/store in downtown Cape Charles.

Why they chose this property

Lenore & Rocco's favorite thing about their home on Jefferson is the big modern kitchen and living room space, gorgeous yard and it's location...close to everything but somehow away from the crowds.
