About this property
Spacious 5-bedroom 3.5 bath house in Cape Charles Historic District-PET FRIENDLY
Welcome to Tideswell! Just blocks from the beach and an easy walk to the park, Mason Avenue shops, cafés, and restaurants, this beautifully restored historic home makes it effortless to relax, reconnect, and explore.
With extra-large bedrooms (3 king, 1 queen, 2 singles) and 3.5 bathrooms, everyone has room to spread out—and privacy when they want it.
Room for Everyone
Second Floor
• 3 bedrooms — each with a king-size bed
Third Floor
• 1 bedroom with queen
• 1 bedroom with two single beds
• Plus a pack ’n play for little travelers
Designed for Gatherings
Relax in two separate living rooms on the main floor—close the pocket doors for a movie night or keep things airy and open for conversation. Enjoy meals together in the formal dining room, the sunny breakfast room, or gathered around the kitchen island. The gourmet kitchen features a rare gas stove—a chef’s favorite in Cape Charles.
Porches Made for Slow Living
From sunrise coffee to sunset cocktails, this home invites you outside:
• Expansive wrap-around front porch
• Screened-in side porch
• Charming sunporch off the kitchen
• Cozy spots for reading, chatting, and just breathing in the breeze
Upstairs, a kid-friendly sitting area and bunk room offer a private spot for TV time while everyone else enjoys the porch or the backyard.
Outdoor Amenities
• Gas grill
• Firepit
• Pergola
• Shady, fenced-in yard (great for pups & play)
Pet Policy
Cape Charles is wonderfully walkable for dogs—but please know:
• Dogs must be supervised at all times outside
• Local leash laws are strictly enforced
• Dogs are not allowed on the beach during daytime hours
• Please use provided dog blankets if they’re on furniture
• A pet gate is provided to block stairs for smaller pups
• Please clean up after your pet—bags & outdoor bins provided
We’ve created a home that’s comfortable, thoughtful, and full of spaces to gather—from cushy sofas to deep porch chairs perfect for reading, napping, or just “shooting the breeze.”
We hope you love your stay—and if you need anything at all, just reach out.

About the host
Hosted by Tideswell
Hi! We're Rob & Amanda— who recently turned a shared dream into reality by buying a home with our best friends in the charming town of Cape Charles. Over the years, our families have created countless memories here and we’re so excited to share a bit of that magic with you. Whether you're here to relax, explore, or just soak up the bay breeze, we hope our home helps make your stay as memorable as ours have always been. Welcome to our home!
Why they chose this property
We fell in love with Cape Charles the way you do with places that feel like they’ve been waiting for you. There’s something special here — the small-town charm, the historic streets, the welcoming front porches, and the way time seems to slow down the minute you cross the bridge.
Cape Charles has a way of bringing people together. You’ll see families riding bikes to the beach, kids eating ice cream on Mason Avenue, neighbors chatting over morning coffee, and sunsets that make everyone stop what they’re doing just to soak in the view. It reminded us of the kind of vacations we loved growing up — simple, joyful, full of memories that don’t need much more than sand, sun, and good company.
We chose this home because it reflects everything we love about the town — historic character, big porches made for conversation, room for family and friends, and a location that lets you walk everywhere that matters. The beach is just blocks away, the shops and restaurants are around the corner, and the park is close enough for morning strolls and evening playtime.
Cape Charles is peaceful without being quiet, historic without being fussy, and charming without trying. It’s the kind of place where you can breathe a little deeper, laugh a little longer, and make memories you’ll talk about for years.
That’s why we’re here — and why we’re excited to share it with you

What makes this property unique
This isn’t just a beach house — it’s a true Cape Charles historic home thoughtfully designed for modern comfort. Every detail reflects the kind of vacation we love most: easy mornings, long afternoons at the beach, and evenings gathered together on a porch built for conversation.
Many Cape Charles homes are charming but small. Ours gives you both: the original architecture, tall windows, pocket doors, and wraparound porch paired with extra-large bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms so everyone can have privacy and comfort.
With two separate living rooms, a formal dining room, and a sunny breakfast room, you can gather as a group — or let different pockets of fun happen all at once. Game night in one room, cocktails on the porch… it all works.
In Cape Charles, porches are a way of life. Our sprawling wraparound front porch, screened-in side porch, and kitchen sunporch give you morning coffee with birdsong and sunset cocktails with salty breezes. Guests tell us these spaces are where their best vacation memories happen.
The third floor offers a cozy TV/lounge area and “bunk room”, giving kids their own sense of space and adventure — while adults enjoy the evening downstairs or outside.
If you love cooking on vacation, you’ll appreciate this: a well-equipped, gourmet kitchen with one of the few gas stoves in town. It’s made for shared meals and big conversations.
Relax under the pergola, grill dinner outdoors, gather around the firepit, or let the dog enjoy the shade while you unwind. It’s a rare amount of private outdoor space this close to the beach and downtown.
Blocks from the beach, steps to the park, and a short stroll to Mason Avenue — no cars needed. You can live like a local: morning bakery runs, evening ice cream walks, and sandy feet all day long.
We care about the things you can’t always see in photos: deep cushions, soft mattresses, cozy chairs, the right mix of spaces to read, nap and play. It’s the kind of home that welcomes you the moment you walk in.
