About this property

The Fishing Cottage located on a Scenic Eastern Shore farm

The Fishing Cottage is located in a rural setting that takes full advantage of the Eastern Shore's natural beauty while only minutes from the charming town of Cape Charles with its eclectic shops and restaurants. It is close to beautiful beaches, fishing piers, marinas and boat ramps to launch that boat.

With 6 bedrooms the Fishing Cottage is perfect for larger parties. The firepit, corn hole game, hammock, screened porch, and barbeque grill in the roomy back yard are the perfect place to gather in the evening after a day on the water surrounding the scenic Eastern Shore.

For the fisherman the big yard provides plenty of room to park your boat in a secure location. The house is centrally located minutes from the boat ramps in Cape Charles, Kiptopeke and Oyster. There is a screened porch for morning coffee, satellite TV, WIFI, fish cleaning station and a barbeque grill to cook that catch of the day.

The Fishing Cottage is located on a local farm with abundant wildlife and acres of corn, potatoes and soybeans. While enjoying sunsets from the screened porch you can watch the deer grazing in the surrounding fields. The farm located on Old Plantation Creek provides access for local watermen to the bounty of the Chesapeake Bay.

The charming Victorian town of Cape Charles is minutes away with its beautiful beaches, lovely old homes and fishing pier. The main street has quaint shops and eclectic dining with outdoor tables to enjoy the harbor view. Cape Charles now has its own brewery, cidery, and distillery.

Beaches, boat docks, kayaking, birding, wildlife sanctuaries and the unspoiled barrier islands are all nearby.

There is a private airstrip on the farm if you wish to arrive by private plane. Should you wish to bring your own horse there are equestrian stables on the property as well.

This property shares its rural farm setting with a sister house across the street, the RiverPark House (VRBO property #128102). The RiverPark house and the Fishing Cottage are both 6 bedroom houses. Fishing buddies and large families can rent both houses for a crowd.

Bounded on one side by the Chesapeake Bay and on the other side by the Atlantic Ocean the Eastern Shore of Virginia enjoys unparalleled coastal living beauty. This property takes full advantage of the natural beauty and tranquility of rural living that is the trademark of the Eastern Shore of Virginia.

Unforgettable Reunion at The Fishing Cottage: Bonds Strengthened Across Continents
Among all the incredible reunions we've experienced, this one undoubtedly takes the crown. The Fishing Cottage served as the perfect backdrop for our gathering, bringing us together after journeys from as far as London and Japan, as well as those who drove up locally. The genuine warmth of your hospitality truly made the difference, and it seemed like everyone had an absolute blast. Anticipation is already building for our next reunion – we're eagerly looking forward to it!

Family fun
Awesome place. Older house, but very spacious and cool All beds were very comfortable. One minor complaint is the lack of a closet in the king room downstairs. The beach at Cape Charles was wonderful, not crowded and we loved swimming in the bay. Close to Virginia Beach, but the bridge toll was ridiculous I can't say enough good about this place.

A Mixed Bag
I will start by saying that cleanliness of accommodations is always very important to me. I will also say I read all the previous reviews & really considered the ones that said those who complained of insects/flies & lack of cleanliness didn't fully consider the country location & age of the home. I've lived in the country & I've lived in very old homes & thought I was adequately prepared. The Excellent: Location to all that Kiptopeke & CC offer Quiet setting with beautiful cornfields Size of home & rooms easily accommodated 8 adults, 1 toddler, & 1 senior dog Water pressure! The Good: Bedding was clean Ample furniture for sleeping, lounging, & eating Laundry room with really good washer/dryer Bathroom supplies The Needs Improvement: While the bedrooms/bedding were clean/tidy & the bathrooms were very dated but mostly clean, the kitchen was dirty. Wear & tear was expected, but the drips of goo, stains, the dirty shelving with dead gnats & insects and film of dust stuck to lightly greasy surfaces were not. We entered to find more than a dozen slow flies already in the home. During our stay, more beetles, moths, gnats, & ants coming out of the light switch when turned on joined us. We were careful when opening the door, but they seemed to originate from inside the home, as if we disturbed them. Spotty wi-fi. VERY dirty windows I cleaned several areas upon arrival, but it was too much to address completely. If it were cleaner, I'd stay again.
