This property was absolutely lovely! It is beautifully decorated, pristinely clean, and had lots of thoughtful touches and amenities that made for an incredibly convenient and comfortable stay. It is perfectly located on the main street of Cape Charles and we (my two young sons: 8 & 10, my husband & I) biked the short distance to the beach very easily, as well as walked to all the shops and restaurants each day. The outdoor shower to rinse the sand off, as well as roof-top private patio, and the off-street parking were all definite perks! We enjoyed our stay so much & will absolutely book our next Cape Charles stay at 'The Portal'!
