Beautifully restored house with gorgeous landscaping! The owners were incredibly helpful, knowledgeable and friendly! Sit-down breakfast was delicious but they also accommodated on another day with a yummy to-go breakfast when we had to leave early for a kayak tour. Bed was incredibly comfortable and room had everything we needed!

This charming B&B was everything I had hoped for! It is a beautifully maintained historic home that is decorated with period pieces. Lovely fall decor was in every room of the house as well as outside the Inn, which gave it a sense of occasion. My room was cozy, and had all the amenities any traveler would want. The inn keepers attended to every detail that made this Inn the unique treasure that it is. Lively conversation with the owners and the other guests accompanied the gourmet breakfasts each morning. Centrally located in Cape Charles, I was able to walk to shops, restaurants, a spa, and the local brewery and distillery. I highly recommend Bay Haven Inn of Cape Charles!

A True Gem

If in the area, this is the place to stop. Spacious rooms with appropriate furniture. Relaxing atmosphere. There is not much in the town for shopping and such, but The Shanty restaurant had good food with a relaxed atmosphere. The Inn was so inviting that you would not want just a one night stay.

Jim and Tammy continue to out do themselves with hospitality and outstanding food. We love the central location. The porch provided room to invite local friends over to enjoy the evening with us. A concert in the park behind the in. Was a lovely way to spend an evening with picnic set ups provided by Tammy and Jim! You will not be disappointed

WOW

This was our 3rd year staying at the Bay Haven Inn, and again everything was wonderful. Cape Charles is a great place to visit but, even if it wasn't, you still must go and hang out with Jim and Tammy. It will certainly be worth the trip.

Second stay even better than the first!

This was our second stay at Bay Haven Inn and Tammy some how managed to make it even better than the first. Our room was lovely with it's fresh coat of paint. The bed was super comfy and the shower was super. This time we got to enjoy the flowers! Her garden is not to be missed. Tammy is heavily involved in the local community as well so she's a wealth of knowledge about happenings around town and the local scene. We had to leave early the next morning but Tammy was still able to accommodate us with a yummy breakfast before we hit the road. Highly recommend this Inn for your stay in Cape Charles.
