American Four-Square completely renovated, easy walk to the beach!

In town for a family vacation, beach getaway with friends or a wedding nearby? Check out why our classic home would perfectly fit your group. This classic American Four Square home was built 100 years ago but is brand new inside and out! Featuring modern and new appliances and a new heating and air system, this house is a perfect base of operations for your vacation!

The kitchen has granite tops and stainless steel appliances, as well as many smaller necessities such as a coffee maker/Keurig and crockpot. The family room has a large smart TV with cable and an impressive library of DVDs. Plenty of comfy furniture and plenty of board and card games await! There is a good-sized half bath downstairs and a laundry room with a full sized washer and dryer.

Upstairs, the master has a queen bed, full bath, nice closet and TV. The second bedroom has a queen bed, closet and TV and shares a full bath with the third bedroom, which features a single bunk over a double bed and also has a TV.

Based on the amount of bedrooms/beds, we suggest the house comfortably sleeps 7 people (but we’ve got two twin cots) available upon request in advance of your stay if you need to squeeze in a couple more guests).

The whole house has a great WiFi connection and there are plenty of outlets for all your devices! The first floor is all hardwood except ceramic in the bath and laundry and the upstairs is carpeted.

Outside there is a nice covered porch with rocking chairs in the front and a private backyard with a fire pit in the back.

If you’re not sure how to spend your time in a charming Cape Charles, in the house you’ll see we’ve provided our recommendation of restaurants, things to do, and of course, where to shop!

beach weekend

This place was perfect for a weekend getaway at the beach. There was plenty of space for a family of 6 and the house was well appointed. Kitchen had all the basics for cooking. The location was great- 10 min walk to the beach or an easy drive with parking available. Would definitely recommend it!

Comfortable, nicely appointed, well-done restoration

Really enjoyed our stay for our first visit to Cape Henry. Loved looking through the book detailing the restoration of the building. The location worked well for us - just about a block from the central park, and an easy walk to the beach or all the shops and restaurants downtown. Jim was excellent with communication, check-in could not have been easier. So many nice things included with this property, pretty much anything anyone could need and more. Very happy with our stay, if we make it back to town we'll be looking at this property first.

Great Cape Chuck stay

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Woodchuck! The home is exactly as advertised and well-appointed for a comfortable getaway. The upstairs temperature trends warmer than the first floor...we were there when the nights turn cool, so cracking a bedroom window did the trick. Owners were super with communication. With a golf cart (rented from a nearby business), it's an easy trip to downtown and most anywhere you'd want to go.

Wonderful home base in Cape Charles

All the old charm and convenience of the Cape Charles historic district with a recent renovation. Spacious, open first floor with a well appointed kitchen. Plenty of board games and toys for a rainy day. On the 2nd floor, there are super comfortable mattresses in the 2 larger bedrooms. Good A/C throughout. Outside, the fire pit is great for smores. Shady trees and a big yard are great for after dinner play. East-facing front porch is a plus (cooler, shadier in evenings). The only minor drawback is that the outdoor shower isn't enclosed, so it's just for rinsing off not full showers. Amazing house. We hope to be back next year!

Relaxing week

Charming and clean house. Felt like home from the moment we walked in. We enjoyed the spacious kitchen and comfortable bedrooms. Our 6 year old grand daughter loved the books and toys that were available for her. We spent most of our time on the back yard/patio area and at the nearby beach.

Cute home and convenient location to park & beach

We have stayed here for two years in a row now & love this location right next to the park. It’s an easy golf cart ride to the beach as well! We also love the convenience of the outdoor shower. The house & shed had everything we needed for our week at the beach! The owners were very helpful and responsive.

Perfect beach trip!

I am so glad that I chose this beach house. It has everything we need (including a highchair and baby spoons, and beach toys, scooters!). It is clean and close to the beach. Cape Charles beach is less tidal than Virginia Beach or OBX, where I had to stay alert every second as I had young kids with us. Here, we are much more relaxed as the water is shallow and tranquil. I just cannot ask for more. BTW, the playground nearby was a hit too for my three kids. Jim and Rebecca are responsive and accommodating. You can see they care about the visitor's experience. They want you to feel at home. We came to celebrate my daughter's birthday - Jim and Rebecca left us a lovely happy birthday note with snacks - how sweet! I also love the little album introducing before and after of the house. My 8yo boy cried before we left because he didn't want to leave. And we promised him we would come back next summer!! Thank you, Jim and Rebecca, for making our family trip unforgettable.

Everything You Need in a Home Away from Home

We went to Cape Charles for a wedding and had a great time! The home has everything a family needs for a home away from home--even a potato peeler! The fact that I didn't have to bring everything with me or buy something I'd only use once, was great. The owners really have thought of everything! The only two 'issues' are small and easily addressed. First, the house is warmer upstairs. I didn't dare touch the thermostat (looked too complicated). Downstairs was really cold and upstairs several degrees warmer. The ceiling fans in the rooms help a lot. Maybe change the filter in the upstairs vent in the hallway or have an HVAC person make sure the venting is clear. Second, the cleaning crew should take care to remove the big spider webs as you come down the stairs and in the corners of most rooms. A quick flick of a Swiffer and problem solved. THANK YOU for creating such a lovely space for my family!

Second time staying

This was our second time staying in this home. It was excellent, as usual. Clean house, well stocked kitchen, and convenient amenities (shed, outside shower, patio, etc.). Owner even provided things like beach toys, chairs, beach towels, cart, two bikes, and fishing rods. Only a few blocks from the beach. Pleasant neighbor, quiet street, and space for kids to run around. Owner was easy to get a hold of….. responsive and easy going. Would love to stay here again!
