Summer Camp Tiny Cottage - Perfect for a couples/friends retreat & small fams!

Come visit the only Tiny Home in the Cape Charles Historic District!
At less than 470 sq feet, this 1920s house is super fun & ready to be enjoyed for a couples, friends, and small families!
• King sized bed with smart tv on the first floor
• Two twin beds in a cozy sleeping loft
• Small kitchen with propane stove, Nespresso maker & living space with a smart tv
• Patio w/ charcoal grill, solo stove, & dining table
• Paddle board & floats
Please read through our totally honest disclaimer below!

Summer Camp is available for 3–4 night minimum stays between Memorial Day & Labor day. We do generally have some odd dates in the summer that allow for shorter stays so please check the calendar.

Sept-April bookings are available for 2-night minimum stays.
Please message us with questions or for more details!

This is an older home with quirks and charm so please be aware of this before booking. Here is our completely honest disclaimer so you know exactly what you are getting!
• The sleeping loft with twin beds is accessed by a small, narrow staircase without a lot of headroom. Please use caution with it and know that it is not ideal for young children or those with difficulty climbing stairs. It is a super cool space but quirky! A lot of the time we have couples stay (which this house is perfect for) who don’t use the loft. For a small family like ours, our young kids LOVE getting to camp out up in the loft.
• We are five blocks from the beach, so the space is best experienced either anticipating a short drive to the beach, or by planning on renting bikes or a golf cart which makes exploring historic Cape Charles super fun!
• It’s a tiny house and the only one of its kind in Cape Charles … but … it is a TINY house. We love the little kitchen; however, it is not ideal for cooking a big meal. The shower is small as is the bathroom sink. We enjoy the space with our family of five, but definitely have to squeeze in!
• It’s also a historic tiny house. Being at the beach the floors sometimes get a little dusty and, in the fall, leaves blow up on the patio. Occasionally, there will be bugs inside – again – it’s an older house at the beach and please expect some of these things as part of the charm!
• The back sliding glass door is secured with a pole that slides in the bottom of the door. Just including this because we had one person complain (loudly) about this.
• Finally – know that our cleaning fee is less than what our cleaner actually charges. Please be aware of this if you book – especially in the off season when you have the chance to book for killer rates as we like to allow as many people as possible to get to enjoy Summer Camp! We have the best cleaner on the Shore working with us, however it is hard to find reliable people in this somewhat remote location. Hopefully that’s why you’re pumped to stay in Cape Charles anyway …

We’ve had a few people with different expectations stay with us and we do not want that to happen to you!

We LOVE our tiny house and cherish the times we get to come stay. If you’re still as excited as we are to stay at Summer Camp after reading these notes, we think you will fall in love with it and Cape Charles, too!!

Getaway
The moment I pulled up to the cottage I was blown away by its charm and when I stepped inside it had my heart. So warm and welcoming, quaint and lovely. The cottage was perfectly clean and tidy and met all my needs. I will definitely return and highly recommend to others.

New Getaway
My husband and I were looking for a new getaway not too far from home (3-4 hours) that would let us truly unwind and enjoy nature, good meals, and peaceful/modern amenities. Cape Charles and the Summer Camp Tiny Cottage were perfect. We'll be back!

Cute Clean Place in a Cute Town
Katie and Phillip are fantastic hosts! The place was clean and well stocked. They put a lot of thought into making the place feel cozy, a perfect place to relax after the beach. The kitchen is a bit smaller than I realized and not very conducive to cooking if you are planning on doing much of that. Other reviews were not kidding about the tiny shower! My 7 months pregnant belly could barely squeeze in haha Otherwise, we had a great stay!

Sweet little place by the shore
My children and I stayed here for a week. It was lovely for a getaway. We kept cooking to a minimum (because you know mommas need a vacay too) which was perfect given the kitchen size. Shower was a bit difficult to navigate with the younger child but it was not unexpected. Overall very pleased with our tiny house adventure.

Cute spot in Cape Charles
Summer Camp Cottage was a sweet little spot for a long weekend. We've been going to Cape Charles for years and it has grown in popularity and cost. This cottage was an affordable get away. The owners were very responsive to questions or concerns. The decor was on point. The kitchen and shower area were a bit smaller than I expected. But the location is great and the outdoor seating space helps add some square footage.

We loved our stay! Our daughters affectionately called it the Barbie house. Perfect for a small family or couple.
