Cape Escape-Short Walk to Beach, Pet Friendly, Fenced Yard & Optional GC Rental

Beautiful beach house with fenced in yard, double porches and the comfort of a "home away from home" for your Cape Charles Vacation. This home is a short walk to the beach (4 blocks), one block from the town park and public Tennis/Pickle Ball Courts, and just around the corner from the wonderful Oyster Farm Restaurant and Events Venue.
It offers three bedrooms and 2 1/2 baths with an outdoor shower. The spacious master bedroom is furnished with a king-size bed and adjoining full bathroom, 40" Smart Flat Screen TV, and home office space on the 3rd-floor private level. There are two guest bedrooms and a full bathroom on the second floor; one bedroom offers a queen-sized bed and a 32" Smart Flat Screen TV, with a door to the upper-level porch to enjoy the evening breeze. The third bedroom is perfect for adults and children, furnished with a full over full-size bunk bed, a twin trundle bed, and a 32" Flat Screen TV. This room also offers an Infant Pack-N-Play, Baby Gate, Board Games, Children's Books, and a door to the upper-level porch, which is secured with an upper lock if needed to ensure safety for children.
The living area has an open floor plan between the kitchen and the living room. The living room offers a 50" Samsung Flat Screen Smart TV, a comfy sleeper sofa (queen), and two swivel chairs. Our home has Free Wi-Fi, Spectrum Cable, Roku's, and all the Smart TVs' features.
The kitchen is well furnished for dining in; all updated stainless steel appliances, pots & pans, and small appliances (crock pot, toaster, blender, coffee maker, etc). We also have a nice custom farmhouse dining table, a bar area, and an infant high chair for dining.
The backyard is perfect for grilling out, with a gas grill, picnic table, and fenced-in yard. We also offer an outdoor shower, storage shed, and 4 beach chairs. We have a golf cart available to rent for $275 per week and adjusted rates for shorter stays. There is a security camera placed on the front porch for additional security while the home is vacant and during turnover, however, we do not keep it on while you are occupying the home.
Take advantage of one of the best Charter Captains on the Eastern Shore, Wilson Cropp, to guide you on an amazing fishing excursion to catch the Eastern Shores finest: Flounder, Red Drum, Cobia, Striper, or Shark. Captain Cropp also charters day trips to the abandoned barrier islands to enjoy shelling, bird watching, and fabulous scenic views.
Historic Cape Charles is the best-kept secret on the Eastern Shore, with the most amazing sunsets, fishing, birdwatching, canoeing, kayaking, biking, or simply relaxing to your favorite book with your feet in the sand. There are also many wonderful restaurants and fun shops in downtown Cape Charles. It has been featured in Coastal Living as one of America's "Happiest Beach Towns," as well as Beach Front Bargain Hunt on HGTV, and Southern Living. Cape Charles has something to offer every family or group looking to have a fun relaxing beach get away!

Spring break trip

Great trip for spring break! The house is perfectly situated walking distance between the main park and beach. Having the golf cart available worked well for travel to and from the downtown shops and eateries. Ashley was easy, flexible, and very prompt to communicate with. This was our second trip to Cape Charles, this house was cozy and comfortable and truly felt like a vacation!

We thoroughly enjoyed our 4 night stay! This house is very comfortable and the owners thought of it all! Renting the golf cart is a must do and provided comfortable transportation to the beach with chairs and bags. The location was good and we felt very safe. Cape Charles is a lovely town with gracious people, delicious food and very relaxing. We would love to rent again.

Perfect beach home

We had an awesome stay! Rental was very clean and very well stocked. The location was great and only a short walk to the beach. We opted for the golf cart rental which made getting to the beach and around town fun and easy. The doggies loved the fenced back yard! We really can’t find anything negative about our stay, it was perfect and we would definitely stay here again. Thank you very much for sharing your home with our family!!

Wonderful Week Away

This was a great rental to get away with family for a week. The home was clean and well appointed and had plenty of space for two couples and a child. Beach chairs, toys, kitchen tools, and basic toiletries were available, and the ability to rent the golf cart was a great (and highly recommended!) bonus. Communication was great and we enjoyed everything about our stay.

Great Getaway

This was our first time visiting Cape Charles and we had a wonderful experience! The house was very comfortable and we appreciated that it was dog friendly. In fact, the whole town was very welcoming to Enzo (our dog). He enjoyed hanging out at the brewery, meeting the shop owners, and exploring the beach. The State Park was also a fun field trip! We would love to come back when the weather warms up a bit.

Very comfortable home for our grown children and little dog!

We have been visiting Cape Charles every summer since 1987, both before and after children and a series of small dogs along the way. This “home away from home” was very accommodating for our family and just right for our preferences. Communication was very good and I knew that our quality of stay was important and valued by Ashley. We would certainly recommend as well as return in the future if possible.
