Nice Location

Great location and very quiet. Lots of space for the entire family and everything was as advertised. Close access to the beach and the house was in great shape. I gave it a three star rating because the carpets were not very clean and we had two small children. There was quite a bit of dog hair on the steps as well. I ended up vacuuming the carpets shortly after we unpacked.

Owner response:Thankyou for your comments in your review. I'm happy the reviewer enjoyed the house and their stay in Cape Charles. We take great pride in the cleanliness and comfortability which we maintain our house, and realize how important it is to the success of our property. We're sorry for the dirt on the carpet and the dog hair on the steps. We've hired a new cleaning company and will work to improve their standards to meet those of our customers. We look forward to earning our customers business in the future. regards/ Will

Okay - so, maybe we aren't girls any more, but we had a great time!! Five friends celebrating the first one to turn 50! Great location, great town, great beach, great house!! Everything was exactly as posted! And the perfect retreat from our husbands, kids, and "real" life. We hope to make this an annual event - in Cape Charles, and at THE VIEW!

Owner response:Great group who left house in great shape. I hope they come back next year!! Thanks for coming!!! Bill and Kate

We just wanted to let you know that we had a great time in Cape Charles, VA. It is the perfect place for chhildren of all ages. We loved your house. It is in the perfect location and so close to the beach. All of the extra space made our stay very comfortable. We spent the evenings sitting out on the wonderful covered porch. Having the gas grill there for us made it really nice and easy to cook out and enjoy dinners. Thank you again!

Owner response: Mark and Jamie and family were a great group to have rent THE VIEW> They were active and got familiar with the house quickly, making it their own. They were great and as I've told them I hope they come back to Cape Charles.

We had a peaceful and pleasant stay at The View. A great way to start the summer. We enjoyed the comfort of your home and the beautiful view from the bedrooms. Loved the porch with the cool breeze and tranquility. Hope to come back some day.

Owner response:The Alfano's (6 adults + a pet) had a short but eventful stay at THE VIEW !! Shortly after arriving they needed my help which I provided and it made their stay more enjoyable. When they departed they left some valuables at the house that I mailed back to them. Nice people and they took great care of the house. Thanks to them and I'm glad they enjoyed their stay. They'll be back!! Regards// Will

Our family had an awesome experience at the View. The owner is very personable and ensures his guests are comfortable. Upon learning we were cooking for Thanksgiving he purchased a large turkery pan and rack for us to use. Beautiful views of the Chesapeake Bay- Multiple dens and living areas so multi-family and guests can spread out. Beautiful porch with rockers and chairs- Our experience was very pleasant and memorable. Thank you for exceeding our expectations the entire family had a grand time! Highly recommend- for future vacations. Quaint quite town.. Recommend Aqua- local resturant- Wed night special- buy one entree' get the second free- (seafood- speciality)- overlooks the bay

Owner response:I enjoyed having Ms. Elizabeth and Family stay at the VIEW. They seemed to enjoy their stay and enjoyed Cape Charles. They liked the condition and preparation of THE VIEW, and the location of the house to the town beach. They were very excited about the family holiday, and I think we exceeded their expectations. They left the house in good condition and I look forward to their return visit in the spring or summer.

Great Time at "The View"

Last week my husband and I and three of his friends spent time at The View. The men played in a golf tournament at Bay Creek. The View's close proximity to Bay Creek made for an easy trip to the golf course. While the men were playing in the tournament I walked to the historic area of Cape Charles and along the Chesapeake Bay. The house was located very close to these areas. It was well appointed, clean, and very comfortable. The two TV lounge areas allowed everyone to watch their favorite shows. The owner, Will, called when we arrived to make sure that we had everything we needed. He was an excellent host. I would highly recommend "The View" for a great time!

Owner response:The Niles Group were great renters. They are landlords too with their son on a cottage in Colonial Beach. It worked out well for everyone, October is a great time of year to play golf on the Eastern Shore!! Mrs. Niles especially enjoyed sight -seeing and left the house in great shape at checkout. Thankyou!! regards// Will

My husband, I and our dog had a wonderful stay at The View this past memorial day weekend. The house is very well kept and has everything you need to enjoy your stay...including boogie boards! It is so close to the beach and you can see the gorgeous sunsets over the water. Next time we will rent a golf cart and ride around like everyone else!

Owner response:Small group who took great care of the house and seemed to have a wonderful holiday. Thanks for coming and please come back. Regards// Will

We stayed at "The View" for a week in August, and we had a wonderful time. This lovely house is well-maintained and supplied, with a great location just steps from the beach. Additionally, the owner was very friendly, helpful, and easy to contact.
