We’ve stayed in several Airbnbs in Cape Charles. This was our first time within the gated community. The home was spacious, newer than most rentals we’ve had, and perfect for our family. We loved it. We enjoyed walking the beaches, biking all around, visiting the bookstore and shops, and exploring Kiptopeke. We had lunch at the Shanty and dinner at the Oyster Farm. We rode bikes to the Mason Avenue Bakery for Breakfast. Cape Charles is our favorite getaway for quality family time.

We took a last minute, quick getaway weekend and much to our surprise this home was still available, perfect dates because they were booked on the front and back sides. The host was super responsive and accommodating. The home was as described and super clean. The location was great and a golf cart was perfect to add on for our travel, charging was an easy task at the home. Wish we could have stayed longer for the private beach access, very convenient as well as the hot tub and fire pit would make for fun times with family and friends. Everything is right at your finger tips when you vacation in this home! We will back. Thank you for your hospitality! —The Boisseau’s, Richmond, VA

Perfect house for kids (of all ages) and adults. Lots of space for everyone inside and outside the house. Lovely private beach and not far from the main beach. Plenty of restaurants near by! My family had a great time and are looking forward to our vacation next year.

We had a fantastic stay at Cape Charles for the week. The house was perfect for our two families (4 adults, 4 kids). The house was clean and exactly as described. The hosts were extremely responsive and helpful throughout our stay as we had minor questions. We hope to return for another week soon!
