If peace and privacy are your ninja-level goals, then look no further – this place has it all! You'll witness dolphins doing their acrobatics, eagles striking majestic poses, and pelicans diving into the water like they're auditioning for an Olympic team!

And oh boy, let's talk about the waters – they're moodier than a teenager! Watch them change colors with the tides and weather, providing you with a surprise show every day. It's like the ocean's own Broadway performance, and you've got front-row tickets!

Fabulous sunsets, people! They're like free natural fireworks happening at different times of the year. Grab your popcorn, find a cozy spot, and watch the sky paint the town with breathtaking hues!

When the weather goes all 'surfer dude,' get your board ready because you've got a surfer's paradise right here! But fear not, little beach bums, when the weather's chill, this beach is perfect for kiddos and swimming shenanigans. Shell collecting? Oh, it's a competitive sport here!

So, what are you waiting for? Grab your sunscreen, pack your swimsuits, and join the party at this beachfront wonderland! It's not just a vacation; it's a hilarious adventure you'll never forget!

Wonderful beach vacation

This home was exactly what we wanted for our family vacation with little kids and grandparents. Plenty of room, very comfortable, clean, and so close to the beach. Not many people on the beach so it felt relatively private; water was gentle and good for kids. Fun to visit the town and then relax at the house by the water in such a peaceful spot.

Excellent Family Vacation

One of the best properties we have ever stayed at. It was so well stocked with everything. The kitchen cabinets were labeled and contained everything you could possibly need. The house was clean and in excellent condition. We loved having a beach area that was so private. There were nine adults, three small children and two babies in our group and there was plenty of room in the house for all of us. I would highly recommend this property.

We had an absolutely lovely stay at Costal Bliss. It was the perfect spot for our group of friends and a few young kids to relax and play. House was large and well stocked- having two fridges is priceless. The beach was beautiful and having a spot in the bay protected us from a passing hurricane. We loved swimming and watching surfers and dolphins. The sunsets were gorgeous. Nearby (20 minutes) Cape Charles offered a bit of everything to tickle our pallets and shopping bug. We loved our vacation and the hot tub at the end of each day.

Jewel on the bay

Picketts Harbor is a wonderful retreat. We loved the walks along the secluded shore and enjoying the beautiful sunset over the bay. From the host to the caretakers, everyone was very friendly and quick to respond to any questions. The house was well appointed with everything we needed for our stay. The whole family enjoyed their stay!

Fabulous vacation house!

Beautiful property with view of the bay. We had a glorious family reunion here with people of all ages. The beach was beautiful and secluded and the hot tub was great for the couple of overcast days we had. Plenty of kids toys, games, floaties, beach chairs and towels, whatever we needed was there. Communication with the owner was superb.

Great house, nice furnishings

Wanted a private place on the water, pictures don’t show a new home built directly behind this house. The fire pit and hot tub are basically in the front yard of the new house. If privacy aren’t an issue and great views are all the matters then this place is perfect.
