Just like it was represented on VRBO! Excellent property, rooms were great with plenty of space. The furnishings were complete and in working order. Every detail was thought of - even a firepit that was prepared to light!

Excellent Family Vacation

One of the best properties we have ever stayed at. It was so well stocked with everything. The kitchen cabinets were labeled and contained everything you could possibly need. The house was clean and in excellent condition. We loved having a beach area that was so private. There were nine adults, three small children and two babies in our group and there was plenty of room in the house for all of us. I would highly recommend this property.

Wonderful home for large family gathering

The home is very nice and in a great location. Beautiful views and easy access to the beach. As a previous guest stated, a new house is within 100 feet of the driveway (not shown in photos). Not a problem for us, but sharing for awareness. Be aware the beach is not private. 3-4 vehicles parked each day near the driveway for families to access the beach. Close to 20 vehicles on the 4th of July.

Great house, nice furnishings

Wanted a private place on the water, pictures don’t show a new home built directly behind this house. The fire pit and hot tub are basically in the front yard of the new house. If privacy aren’t an issue and great views are all the matters then this place is perfect.

We had the most wonderful stay here for our family reunion / birthday event! The host was wonderful to chat with and very responsive for any questions we had. We had a total of 14 in the home (13 adults, 1 child, our fur baby!) and still had plenty of space and room for all. While the beach is not completely private, it was rarely busy and our family practically had the area all to ourselves. We took out the kayaks provided by the property and had a great time! Life jackets were provided as well. The home was incredibly well stocked (full linens, towels, kitchen appliances/dishes, beach chairs & toys, etc). We were never lacking with anything for the weekend. Would absolutely stay here again for a large family gathering!!

Wonderful beach vacation

This home was exactly what we wanted for our family vacation with little kids and grandparents. Plenty of room, very comfortable, clean, and so close to the beach. Not many people on the beach so it felt relatively private; water was gentle and good for kids. Fun to visit the town and then relax at the house by the water in such a peaceful spot.

Fabulous vacation house!

Beautiful property with view of the bay. We had a glorious family reunion here with people of all ages. The beach was beautiful and secluded and the hot tub was great for the couple of overcast days we had. Plenty of kids toys, games, floaties, beach chairs and towels, whatever we needed was there. Communication with the owner was superb.

Jewel on the bay

Picketts Harbor is a wonderful retreat. We loved the walks along the secluded shore and enjoying the beautiful sunset over the bay. From the host to the caretakers, everyone was very friendly and quick to respond to any questions. The house was well appointed with everything we needed for our stay. The whole family enjoyed their stay!

We have a yearly cousins get- together and we picked Cape Charles and Chesapeake Bay this time. Glad we did that, the views are spectacular, you got the beach almost to yourself.

Terrific winter weekend get-away

We had a terrific 2 night stay, February 28-March 2. My daughter turned 16 and we brought her and some girlfriends out for a weekend of celebrating. The house was perfect. It's a beautiful home with a well-appointed kitchen and perfect bedrooms. Plenty of space for our group of 10 to sleep comfortably, and the common area worked well too. Winter can be a tough time in Cape Charles because some things shut down, so this house was terrific because the girls could use the hot tub and go for beach walks. We ordered pizzas and salads from Deadrise the first night, had a great lunch out at The Shanty and found that plenty of shops were open for meandering. Make sure you arrive on time for sunset; the views are incredible. Thanks so much. Hope to come back.

Dolphin House

This was a great place for our family vacation. We had 13 people from three generations. There was more than enough room for us. The property manager was very quick to respond to inquiries. The check-in process was clearly explained and easy to do. We had a fantastic time at the beach! The waves were just right for our little ones. We liked the quiet location. Like previous reviews, the house was very well stocked. We would stay here again. Oh, and we got to see dolphins in the bay a few times!

Best Sunsets in the US!

Beautiful property, fantastic location. Incredible sunset views from the deck; we also saw porpoises, lunes and herons. Universally comfy beds (since no reviewers have mentioned them before!!). We had ages from 12 to 73, and we all slept very well. Also, this house is the best stocked stay in our decades of renting homes for family spring breaks: hand soap, bath products, paper towels, toilet tissue, and a great selection of cooking utensils. Quiet, private. Great.

About the host

Hosted by Romy

Host profile image
Sitting on our upper or lower deck and watching birds, fish, boats and enjoying peace and quiet with only one close neighbor is very relaxing. We were blessed to find this little piece of Heaven and build our family home. Something this beautiful needs to be shared.

Why they chose this property

We were fortunate to have found and purchased this very uniquely located beach front property within a mile of Kiptopeake State Park. House is new and sits on one acre with only one neighbor within sight. Only 50 feet to waters edge on slight incline, easy. Hand rail to assist coming up.

What makes this property unique

PRIVATE and QUIET. Very few, if any beach homes like this are constructed on a fairly level lot but with easy access down path to water of bay with energizing waves. Peaceful, as you can walk both directions on shore line without seeing people, just birds, sometimes dolphins and jumping fish. This is definitely a special place. Usually a gentle breeze helps keep the insects and no see them away. The lot has 100 year old wild Cherry trees as well as oak and native trees. Woods adjoin our lot on three sides, so there is an abundance of wildlife. Eastern Shore of Virginia is a hidden jewel that many eventually find and return again and again. Come visit and see why we are so special!
