About this property

Family Friendly 3 Blocks to Beach with Great Amenities

New for ‘23 🚨DISHWASHER🚨!! We overhauled the home in 2018 to set it up for guests to enjoy the Cape Charles and VA Eastern Shore. The home is fully equipped with all the comforts of home including a well stocked kitchen for all cooking, new mattresses and bedding for restful nights sleep, smart TVs to access all your streaming content needs. We specifically designed the home for family vacations to have two master bedrooms-both fitted with king beds. Great for 2 families vacationing together or extended family gatherings.
For the beach goers and water enthusiasts our home is complete with a stand up paddle board (SUP), two children's kayaks along with beach toys, beach chairs, umbrellas, and both a beach wagon to help transport everything to the beach. We invite you to stay in our home and enjoy all that Cape Charles has to offer.

Great house!

This was our sixth stay in Cape Charles, we’ve hopped all over town during those stays and this was my favorite house! Clean, comfortable and nicely decorated, which I find to be an added comfort. Close enough to walk to the beach. House is nicely stocked and the paddle board was a fun bonus!

Another wonderful stay at Awe Shucks

This is our second year at the house and we had another wonderful stay. Jennifer is quick to reply to questions and even helped us out of a bind when we left an important package behind. The house is an easy walk or cart-ride to the beach and is well-stocked. The first-floor shower/laundry room is perfect for cleaning up after the beach. We'd love to stay a third time!

Beach vacation

This is the perfect place too stay with a couple families or adult kids and their kids. We had 4 adults and a 2 year old. The two master bedrooms worked well for the 4 adults and the toddler had his own room and the pack and play was perfect for him. We loved the wagon and all the beach toys and chairs, plus the stand up paddle board and the kayak. I never thought I would be able to even balance on my knees on a paddle board, but I could! Jen, the owner was really fast to respond to the couple questions we had. I would stay here again in a heart beat and Cape Charles itself is a quaint friendly town with plenty of restaurants and shops. We loved it there! Plus the front porch is perfect for hanging out in the evenings.

Lovely Home - Would Stay Again!

The house is very spacious and has plenty of room for at least two families or a large group. The beds and furniture were all clean and very comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook a few meals in-house (and we ate all of our breakfasts at "home"). Jen has stocked the house with so many great books, games, art supplies, and toys to keep people busy on rainy or low-key days. There are even a couple of kid-sized bikes and a kid kayak in the shed! We felt very welcome and relaxed at the house and would definitely stay again. Bonus - Jen let us know that there were a few minor cosmetic issues from the previous renters to be fixed before our stay and gave us a credit at a local restaurant to make up for it.

So much more!

This was one of the best places we have ever stayed! And definitely the best to stay with a small child. The house is adorable, well kept, close to the beach, and full of amazing surprises! For starters the owner is beyond awesome when it comes to communication! She let us know exactly what to expect at the house and provided a list of things we didn't have to pack that she provides! The home included kids toys inside and we didn't even have to take out the ones we brought with us! The shed is full of outdoor toys and things! The owner has done such an amazing job with this house. It was everything described and so much more! We will definitely be coming back!

Excellent

This house was clean, comfortable, and a good size for four adults and two toddlers. There was no check-in "process" because the front door had a keypad system. The property manager always responded quickly to messages via VRBO. The kids loved the short walk to the beach in the wagon and appreciated all of the books and toys (especially the truck collection). It was a tight squeeze to fit a pack-and-play in one of the kids' rooms due to all the beds, but it worked out fine. Wifi was a big help because the town has spotty cell service. We made good use of the kitchen since all the restaurants are short-staffed this year and it's hard to find a place that offers takeout. The house had everything we needed, and we will look to book it again for a future trip.

Cape Charles Awww Shucks

This location is great close to the beach, restaurants, parks and activities.I was not pleased with the cleanliness or condition of the furniture in the living area (stained and worn upholstery).The kitchen was not well equipped and the larger pans and appliances were in poor condition (crockpot had dried food stains). No ice maker in the freezer or ice trays to make our own.TV was only available if one has his own streaming plan, not even local channels.There were no wash clothes, but plenty of towels and beach towels.The spigot on the side of the home with a garden hose attached was not functional so nowhere to rinse feet after the beach.This rental has great potential, but really needs some TLC. Would not book again.

Suggestions to improve a great house

The renovation was well done. A suggestion is to provide a gas grill. One of the burners on the electric range did not fit the pan and the overhead fan in the MBR did not work. All of these were minor except for one which was that the disposer was left clogged by the previous guest which we cleaned the P trap and the storage below the sink. You could possibly call the attention to adequately flush the disposer to have it function as it was designed.

Perfect Beach Getaway in Cape Charles!

My family and I just returned from an unforgettable stay at beautiful Cape Charles, and I cannot recommend it highly enough! From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the beauty and charm of this property and the town. The house is perfectly situated, just a short stroll from the beach. The neighborhood is peaceful and welcoming, providing a relaxing atmosphere for our vacation. Cape Charles itself is a hidden gem with its quaint shops, delicious eateries, great coffee, and picturesque views. Brown Dog Ice Cream is a must-stop! This beach house truly felt like a home away from home. The spacious living area was perfect for our family to gather and relax. The house was stocked with all the essentials and more. We appreciated the comfortable beds. Our hosts were exceptional, Jennifer was very responsive and helpful. This beach house exceeded all our expectations.

Fishing Trip

Took customers on a fishing trip - awesome house, awesome location. I have been going down to CC VA for approx 10+ years and this was one of the nicest/ most unique places I have stayed. The only real negative (if this even counts) is the keyless remote ( although very convenient ) was very temperamental. Didn't work in direct sun / couldn't see it. Recommend taking actual key with you.

Perfect family friendly getaway

We've stayed at this wonderful home several times now and there are several reasons we keep coming back! The property is kept updated and tidy. The amenities are fantastic especially having 3 children ages 5-8! We came with another couple and their children. There was just enough room for all of us to be comfortable in the house. The kids love the toys and all the beach stuff in the shed! The hosts are also fantastic! They are so great to work with and are very communicative. We were given the opportunity to check in early and were so very thankful to have that extra time. We can't wait until our next stay here!

Great family retreat!

Me and my 4 and 2 year old had a quiet, comfortable stay in the house. The house set up is excellent for kids, and could easily host two families (the other family we were supposed to travel with couldn’t come last minute) with plenty of room to spread out. I didn’t need any toys or books for my kids since they played with the ones they found. The beds were comfortable, location was a quick walk or golf cart ride to the beach and playground, and the host had everything we needed to cook at the house if we chose to. Jen was very responsive to any questions I had during our stay. We hope to visit again!

Always a great time!

This was our second time staying here. This time it was 2 families for a total of 4 adults and 3 children. We had a great time and so did the children. Our weather wasn't good for going to the beach but thanks to the shed full of things the kids had a great time scootering around! This is the most family friendly and accommodating vacation home we've ever stayed in and we will be going back! Hopefully sooner this time!

About the host

Hosted by Jennifer Pattan

Why they chose this property

We visited Cape Charles once and immediately fell in love with the small town beach feel it provided. We knew it would be a place we would return to again and again so we opted to invest in the community. We are now willing to open up our beach home and share with you so that you too can enjoy all Cape Charles has to offer
