Space
This bright, new vacation rental in historic downtown Cape Charles offers all the comforts and conveniences of home so you can focus on enjoying your time away. The house is a fully updated open plan home with a modern, well-stocked kitchen and comfortable living space. The front porch is a perfect place to drink your morning coffee or enjoy a cocktail before sunset. On the second level, the primary bedroom has a King bed and large en suite bathroom with walk in shower, double vanity and walk-in closet. The spacious second bedroom has a Queen bed and is steps away from a full bath, also with double vanity. A full-size washer and dryer are conveniently located on the second level. The house can sleep up to 7, as there is also a full-size futon and half-bath in the downstairs den with a privacy screen available and a twin rollaway bed in the second bedroom. The den leads to a sun deck and large backyard with a fire pit and Adirondack chairs. A brand-new gas grill and yard games make for a perfect evening. Beach chairs, beach towels, beach umbrella, and a rolling cooler make for a fun day at the beach, to be followed by a refreshing rinse in the roomy and clean outdoor shower. There are four adult bikes available (at your own risk) for pedaling down to the beach and to the shops and restaurants on Mason Avenue. Cape Charles is on the Chesapeake Bay and is known for its beautiful sunsets. It’s a small town, but with lots to do, including kayaking, fishing, crabbing, playing on the beach, swimming, golfing, and visiting the nearby Cape Charles Nature Preserve, Kiptopeke State Park, and Eastern Shore National Wildlife Refuge. Downtown there are adorable boutiques, a quirky bookstore in an old gas station, an Irish pub, and a beach bar on the marina. Recent additions include a distillery and a brewery on the road into town. Easy day trips include Virginia Beach, Norfolk/Newport News, Chincoteague/Assateague, and Onancock.

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.
