A cute little home very conveniently located within minutes of historic downtown Cape Charles. Very quiet area and the bottle of wine was a nice touch. The house appeared clean overall except for some hair on the bathroom floor and in the tub. Also there was an unpleasant “old house” smell especially in the kitchen.

Two nights on the outskirts of Cape Charles.

Home was cozy and comfortable, ideally located for our plans to explore the area. Home and yard were clean and well prepared for guests' needs. Overall a very relaxing stay.

Cottage by the bay

We had a lovely stay at fishtails and would definitely come back! The cozy cottage was perfect for our small family. It was so close to cape Charles beach and yet out of the business of town. The location was convenient and we had everything we needed for our long weekend.
