Perfect Getaway!

This was a last minute rental for us when storms rolled through where we were camping, and we could not believe our luck! The/ months to mid-80's, and this house had everything we ALL needed. It is spacious, really well laid out for groups, furnished with very comfortable furniture and beautiful decorations. My favorite part - the patio/screened-in porch/outside kitchen area sitting right on the 16th green. Plus our teenagers' eyes were like saucers when they realized that the rental allowed them access to the incredible private course. Would HIGHLY recommend!

Great accommodations. Golf restrictions frustrating

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The rental house was in great condition with everything needed to host our annual trip. Good overall space.The golf was great. Only problem was they didn’t let us out until 11am when there was no one on the golf course. I think this place could be a top golf trip destination if they reconsider that rule. (Or at least be flexible when the golf course is empty of member play)Annmarie was extremely nice in answering all of our questions when considering our stay! Very pleasant experience.

On the green but not a dream

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We stayed with extended family and had a nice time. Plenty of room and bedrooms. Check-in process was obnoxious as we arrived before the scheduled time and the Bay Creek phone representative said she couldn’t unlock the door prior to that as it’s automatic. However while we were waiting in the driveway a bay creek management employee was able to enter to get his “drink he left in the fridge.” The listing also states there is garage access (of which there is TWO) but that proved to me a lie as there was none permitted. This is challenging with multiple vehicle and carts as much more inconvenient to try to charge carts overnight without a garage and access to outlets. The TVs only provide cable and are unable to access apps as they are not newer (like anything within 12 years new). Bay Creek also provides only a “starter” amount of trash bags and toilet paper which I find distasteful and unlike other local stays we’ve had around Cape Charles. No beach chairs/toys/SUP boards etc. I find if you’re going to stay in Bay Creek and not downtown, the amenities should outweigh the difference in vicinity to downtown. This place does not.

Great vacation at Cape Charles

The house was great. Lots of room for everyone. Would have liked sharper knives in the kitchen and a bigger bed in the twin/queen room. Wish is was at least a full, hard for a twenty something to sleep on. Also, was looking forward to the firepit, but it is off limits for renters. The house is a quick ride to the beach and pool. Gym is amazing. Outdoor kitchen is very nice. Would definitely recommend for a large family.

Great Vacation House

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our daughter got married in Cape Charles 2 years ago and we love it there so we wanted to return for a family vacation. We were 8 adults and 8 children so we needed a big house. This house was perfect! It was big and had 6 bedrooms. The bedrooms had extra beds, the kitchen was well stocked with appliances. We had access to the clubhouse where we worked out every morning, swam in the pool and spent wonderful afternoons on the private beach. Screened in porch with TV and outdoor kitchen overlooking the golf course was our favorite. Quiet neighborhood very near the town. We highly recommend this property.

Very Beatiful PLACE!!!!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This place was fantasitc but a little on the high side as far as rentals go. The three day max may have been more palatable had the price been as advertised. They say a $850 per night rental, but it ends up being over $1200 per night when taxes, fees and other "admin" stuff is thrown in.

Perfect house for our group of couples and amazing location

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This house was perfect for our group of 6 couples. The men golf and the ladies find tons of fun stuff to do -- and 2 days we got back to the house right as they were on the 16th hole! We watched them tee off from the patio. We always love Cape Charles because we can bike everywhere and it was a super location for getting out. The porch and patio on the back were both large enough for our group to gather together. The only recommendation that I would make for the owner would be to upgrade your hot water heater. We had to take very short showers to all be able to have a little warmth. We will definitely book this house again!

Only reason the overall stay got 4 stars instead of 5 was the cable was spotty at times. Couldn't get the football games in HD.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our golf crazy group has been coming here for 12 years now and there is no better golf vacation experience than Bay Creek. And we have gone on golf excursions for 30 years from Florida to Virginia. The 2 courses here cannot be equaled (played Golden Horseshoe for $135 and it cannot hold a candle to the 2 courses here). Our accommodations were a 5 minute walk to the clubhouse and easily met all of our needs. The clubhouse food is quality and reasonably priced. Grocery store is 5 minutes away by car. The scenery and nature is fantastic. This will be our golfing treasure forever.
