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!!

The Summer Camp Tiny Cottage was great. It is the perfect size for a couple on short vacation or a long weekend like we had. We have stayed at the tiny house village across Rt. 13 and while it is also nice, it is less convenient to the beach and Cape Charles shopping. We also made use of the small but full kitchen.
This is a great place for 2 people doing a long weekend on the shore. Hosts are excellent and the place is well stocked. The air conditioning/heat work great. Water heater is quick and efficient
It was a perfect little place to stay for our anniversary for a long weekend. We left so relaxed. The beach was beautiful, enjoyed music at the brewery, miniature golf, nice restaurants, and the distillery. We will be back!
My mom and I came to Cape Charles for a little girls trip and it was our first time visiting there! Summer Camp was an absolutely perfect fit for us! It had everything you could need for a great beach stay and it was also adorable. The proximity to the beach and town was perfect for walking and easy to drive if you needed to. I would highly recommend staying here if you are visiting Cape Charles!
We had an excellent stay at Summer Camp in Cape Charles. The property was perfect for our small group, we loved the quirkiness of the tiny house, but it was well equipped with everything we needed and very comfortable.
This cottage is super cute and conveniently located walking distance from everything downtown. It’s perfect for a family with one or two small children. Our 20 month old slept up in the loft easily with his pack and play and loved the large backyard space. We also enjoyed the fire pit at night. Host was very communicative and accommodating. Will be back!
Very comfortable small house for our weekend trip. Hosts were very responsive to questions and helpful with local information. Easy to ride our bikes anywhere in Cape Charles. Thanks
Small house was perfect for a sister/girls long weekend get away! Very cute, clean and great location. Check in and check out easy. Great communication, would definitely recommend and come back again.
We frequent Cape Charles and this tiny house was charming, comfortable, and close to all the fun. The owners were very responsive and quick to fix a minor issue. Would definitely book again!
We made a trip out of a half marathon in Virginia Beach and decided to spend a few days in this quaint little town. This tiny cottage was so perfect. It had everything we needed super comfortable, clean and convenient to all things! I would highly recommend anybody who’s looking for a little weekend away. Katie was a wonderful hostess and easy to communicate with! Thanks again for making our stay wonderful.
This little cottage was a perfect spot for my fiance and I. The property is exactly as listed and very cozy and quaint. The back master bedroom is a perfect size and has a long bed which we really liked. The shower was a bit small, but everything else was perfect. Would recommend for a small family or couple!
