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.

Appropriately named - Sit a Spell is lovely Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved the incredibly well provisioned property - great amenities and the pictures match what you will find. Two cautions: If you are a decaf coffee drinker, bring your own k-cups or coffeemaker & coffee. If you are a TV watcher - particularly the major CBS,NBC, ABC, PBS, etc channels, you will be disappointed. Only Roku TV with limited channels are available on the televisions.

Wonderful home! Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I absolutely recommend staying in this extremely clean, well maintained home. I just stayed with my family of 9, and we had plenty of room. 3 full bathrooms, one room has king bed, other room has queen plus twin with a trundle. Living room has full sleeper bed. Sheets made up in the beds, all bath towels, beach towels and kitchen towels provided. Kitchen very well stocked including coffee station with plenty of k-cups for the week. All furnishings were lovely. We played every game and did every puzzle! All decor was soothing and beautiful. The decks and balconies were lovely. Used the brand new grill a few times! Great shed to store your beach gear, and we used the beach umbrella, too. Location is prime for the Central Park location directly behind the house. Great place for kids to ride bikes, plus large playground. Huge grass area for baseball catch or family football game. About four blocks to the beach. It was a little far for the little guys, so we drove up most days. Free parking everywhere and easy to park. Over the dune and you’re there. Had rainy days but fished on the pier behind the LOVE sign. House is super close to the shops in town. Owners were so kind and friendly. Stay at this house!
