Littleton Tazewell (1774-1860) Littleton Waller Tazewell was a prominent Virginia lawyer and statesman whose family owned extensive land holdings on the Eastern Shore in the 18th and 19th centuries. He served as Governor of Virginia from 1834-1836 and represented the Commonwealth in the US Senate from 1825-1832. He was born in Williamsburg in 1774 and graduated from The College of William and Mary School of Law. In 1883, the Governor’s heirs sold 2,509 acres to William Scott to build the railroad on Virginia’s Eastern Shore, of which 136 acres became the site of the Town of Cape Charles.

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.

The hosts were very responsive. Whenever I had a question, they would respond nearly immediately. Whenever they had to check with the local team managing the property, their turnaround time was always within the same day. It was a very pleasurable experience.

The size, quality and location to ORF airport was key for our family, however private enough to enjoy every aspect offered by Cape Charles and Cheaspeake Bay. Wonderful neighbors, easy parking, and access to beach and pool depending weather. I loved the private bar for entertaining.

This beach house was awesome! Access to a private beach was a huge perk. Our kids thoroughly enjoyed it. It is a large home so be prepared to bring any “home like” needs, but the property does come with linen, soaps, and towels. Kitchen utensils and pot-ware is all stocked. Ocean porch view on both floors. We had a big storm one night and sat on the porch while we watched it come in over the bay. Just absolutely beautiful. We will be staying again!
