Escape To The Beautiful Virginia Eastern Shore And The Chesapeake Bay View!

Our home is one of the three “grand old ladies” that were built across from the beach facing directly west into the sunset. Built in 1927 for a wealthy Cape Charles merchant, extensive renovations have been made to restore its grand character and create one of the most comfortable, as well as relaxing family rentals on the Virginia eastern shore. Enjoy a walk on the extensive sandy beach, lounge in the sun, kayak and paddle board, or build a sandcastle! Every evening you can view the fantastic sunset from the relaxing front porch! You may decide to "eat in" under the lights on the back patio or stroll to one of our fine restaurants. Fine shops, galleries, dining and entertainment are all within walking distance. The Town of Cape Charles Fishing Pier is an amenity for your family to enjoy a day of fishing or crabbing. The Town purchases an annual fishing license, so you do not need your own. You will need to register for the Virginia Fisherman Identification Program, which is a no-charge program. Registration is quick and easy.

Each bedroom on the second floor has an on suite full bathroom and ROKU live streaming television. The third floor features two bedrooms, one full bath and a media room. The sixth bedroom is located on the first floor off the kitchen and has a single daybed. A single portable bed is available as well located in the closet of the Sunrise bedroom.

The dining room seats 8 comfortably, but can seat 12 using the corners. The black buffet holds white china and gold ware that may be used. Please do not open or use the china cabinet china.

The butlers pantry seats a table of 4. The wine glasses, cocktail glasses and beer glasses are available for use. The bottom cabinets contains china that is perfect for afternoon tea!

The beautiful sun porch is equipped with a stately pool table for your enjoyment. Four kayaks are available for use during your stay, along with the required life vest and whistle. Sun bathe during the day and cool off under the breeze of the front porch in the evening, or sit fireside in front of the backyard fireplace!

If you feel adventurous you can rent jet skis from Poseidon Watersports, take a kayak expedition with Southeast Expeditions or go horseback riding on the beach with Esperanza Riding Company! The Northampton YMCA offers vacation passes!

Note: Park on gravel lot off private drive behind the house and do not park in yard driveway. Golf cart parking and charging station available there as well.

Wonderful time in Cape Charles
Beautiful historic house across the street from the beach. We have rented this house for the last 5 summers and have never had any issues. The owners are very friendly, helpful and responsive.

Beautiful home and the best location
It couldn’t be any easier to get to the beach from this gorgeous home. The home itself is beautifully decorated and comfortable. It’s a great space for a large family. My family has enjoyed it for years.

Unbeatable Location and Sunset Views
We rented this house for a weekend getaway with four families, including 5 children ranging in age from 7 to 15. The property exceeded our expectations in terms of convenience, spaciousness and location! The house is literally across the street from the beach and the sunset views from the second floor balcony are spectacular. NOTE: This house happens to be across the street from the beach, but it is NOT a beach house in the sense that some renters may be expecting. It may not be a great fit for families with toddlers, young children and/or people with mobility issues who find climbing steep stairs a challenge. The kitchen is for prep and does not have sightlines to the living area. Having said that, our older children LOVED being able to spread out and find quiet places to hang out. The house has an unpaved alley that runs behind it where we parked our cars and our two rented golf carts; this was an unexpected perk because it made it much easier to unload/load luggage, groceries, kids, etc. without watching for street and sidewalk traffic. The back parking area also includes a golf cart charging station which is very helpful if you rent carts (highly recommended). We had very limited interaction with the property manager but that was okay because check-in/ out instructions were very clear and everything was in working order. Bathrooms needed a little more attention and the decor could use a feather duster, but all in all, a great stay!

Just Perfect!
Our family enjoyed our stay in this lovely, well equipped, fully furnished home! Proximity to the beach and to town gets no better than this! Ending the day with a magnificent sunset just was the perfect ending to a relaxing, step back in time as we enjoyed our time together as a family!
