Getting Around
Cape Charles is located near the southern tip of Virginia’s Eastern Shore right on the Chesapeake Bay. Cape Charles is a small town (the historic area is roughly a six block by six block square) that sits on the peninsula’s western coast… meaning you can sit on the beach in Cape Charles and watch the sunset right over the water. On the Chesapeake Bay, not the Atlantic Ocean, the water is calm and shallow. The picturesque town of Cape Charles is filled with Americana, all about family and beautiful surroundings, voted one of the Happiest Seaside Towns by Coastal Living. Let the beach be your playground! Check out the walkable retail district, schedule a tee time at one of Bay Creek's award-winning golf courses, or take a water adventure for fishing and cruising.

Gorgeous house in a perfect location, steps from a couple private beach accesses, and the great public beach is less than a mile away too. Clean, spacious (we had 5 people), incredible sunsets on the sun deck (a great location for coffee/food/wine). The oyster farm restaurant and shops are just past the backyard, easily walkable. Coffee, spices, cleaning supplies, lots of little things all kept on-hand. A great outdoor shower (some of us never showered inside!). The rental company was so easy to work with, great folks, and returned all our queries within minutes. Zero complaints, would absolutely return next summer if available!!

Our stay was great, we really enjoyed it. It was unfortunate that a set of bunk beds was removed prior to our stay - the number of beds was one of the reasons we booked it. Other than that, we had a great time.

I'm originally from the Eastern Shore and to be able to come home for a weekend to relax in Cape Charles on the beach was amazing. The home was beautiful, the location was private and perfect, and my family and I enjoyed ourselves. We appreciated the flexibility and quick responses from the host as well.
