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.

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 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.

About the host

Hosted by DeBellis

Host profile image

Lenore & Rocco have been vacationing in Cape Charles since 2013 when they took their first family vacation there and fell in love!!! They knew then that the 23310 was a very special place. In 2017, they purchased the "Jay House" with the thoughts of one day retiring...but within 6 months knew they didn't want to wait and made Cape Charles their home in 2018 full time. Since then, they have moved out to the waterfront to a more rural area and now enjoy sharing The Jay House with other families. They are also the owners of Love + Rosemary, a well known catering company on the shore and Edible Picasso Co. a cafe/store in downtown Cape Charles.

Why they chose this property

Lenore & Rocco's favorite thing about their home on Jefferson is the big modern kitchen and living room space, gorgeous yard and it's location...close to everything but somehow away from the crowds.

Premier Host

They consistently provide great experiences for their guests
