Great town. Loved the Cape. Sweet little house. Water is not drinkable and the bathroom sink drain did not drain. Overall a great stay.

Response from VrboOwner on 14 Aug 2025
So happy that you enjoyed your stay and our beach home. I must clarify that the water is drinkable, the house is hooked up to the town water just like all the houses in historic Cape Charles, so it is absolutely tested to be safe drinking water. However, we personally do not drink it, which is why we provide a water cooler and 5 gallon jugs of fresh drinking water as we did for you.

Great time

We had a great stay! The location is perfect to take a quick golf cart ride to the beach or to the downtown area. The house was a great place to wind down and the outdoor shower helped keep the sand out of the house. The owner was great to communicate with the entire stay.

Great stay

Our family had the best time in Cape Charles. We loved that we could park our car for the week and golf cart everywhere. The house was a short ride to everything- the beach, restaurants, put put golf, etc. We loved having an outdoor shower for easy clean up for the kids after our beach days.

Great Week Away

We really enjoyed our stay. The outdoor shower was a major bonus! The house was tidy, had ample towels and beach towels to borrow, washing machine, games, books, coffee, no clutter and Lenore was super responsive throughout our stay. We rented the golf cart for a couple days, which was fun and made traveling around town very convenient.
