About this property
Summer Camp Tiny Cottage - Perfect for a couples/friends retreat & small fams!
Come visit the only Tiny Home in the Cape Charles Historic District!
At less than 470 sq feet, this 1920s house is super fun & ready to be enjoyed for a couples, friends, and small families!
• King sized bed with smart tv on the first floor
• Two twin beds in a cozy sleeping loft
• Small kitchen with propane stove, Nespresso maker & living space with a smart tv
• Patio w/ charcoal grill, solo stove, & dining table
• Paddle board & floats
Please read through our totally honest disclaimer below!
Summer Camp is available for 3–4 night minimum stays between Memorial Day & Labor day. We do generally have some odd dates in the summer that allow for shorter stays so please check the calendar.
Sept-April bookings are available for 2-night minimum stays.
Please message us with questions or for more details!
This is an older home with quirks and charm so please be aware of this before booking. Here is our completely honest disclaimer so you know exactly what you are getting!
• The sleeping loft with twin beds is accessed by a small, narrow staircase without a lot of headroom. Please use caution with it and know that it is not ideal for young children or those with difficulty climbing stairs. It is a super cool space but quirky! A lot of the time we have couples stay (which this house is perfect for) who don’t use the loft. For a small family like ours, our young kids LOVE getting to camp out up in the loft.
• We are five blocks from the beach, so the space is best experienced either anticipating a short drive to the beach, or by planning on renting bikes or a golf cart which makes exploring historic Cape Charles super fun!
• It’s a tiny house and the only one of its kind in Cape Charles … but … it is a TINY house. We love the little kitchen; however, it is not ideal for cooking a big meal. The shower is small as is the bathroom sink. We enjoy the space with our family of five, but definitely have to squeeze in!
• It’s also a historic tiny house. Being at the beach the floors sometimes get a little dusty and, in the fall, leaves blow up on the patio. Occasionally, there will be bugs inside – again – it’s an older house at the beach and please expect some of these things as part of the charm!
• The back sliding glass door is secured with a pole that slides in the bottom of the door. Just including this because we had one person complain (loudly) about this.
• Finally – know that our cleaning fee is less than what our cleaner actually charges. Please be aware of this if you book – especially in the off season when you have the chance to book for killer rates as we like to allow as many people as possible to get to enjoy Summer Camp! We have the best cleaner on the Shore working with us, however it is hard to find reliable people in this somewhat remote location. Hopefully that’s why you’re pumped to stay in Cape Charles anyway …
We’ve had a few people with different expectations stay with us and we do not want that to happen to you!
We LOVE our tiny house and cherish the times we get to come stay. If you’re still as excited as we are to stay at Summer Camp after reading these notes, we think you will fall in love with it and Cape Charles, too!!
