Our families had a great time at this property. Can't beat the location - it was great to be across from the beach and so close to Mason Ave. The property was clean and the hosts were responsive to the questions we had during our stay.

Another amazing Memorial Day weekend

This is our second year staying at Down By the Bay. Great location close to the beach, shops and restaurants. The house has everything you need for a family vacation. My favorite is the large kitchen with lots of storage space. Another wonderful vacation!

The house was roomy and comfortable for our family gathering. The location is very convenient, just a short walk from the beach. The house was clean, nicely decorated, and well equipped. Managers were responsive when asked about an item possibly needing repair.

Annual Family Va8

Great location, plenty of room & well equipped! We had our 3 adult kids & spouses, 4 grands for the week & a few friends for a couple of days. Everyone had a blast and all agreed there is no need to go back to OBX. Great shops, food & drinks all within walking distance!

Memorial Day Weekend Down by the Bay

The Down by the Bay property is a wonderful house and a great location! It is an easy walk to the shops and restaurant around the corner and across the street to the beach. The kitchen is more spacious than other kitchens in Cape Charles vacation houses and there was ample space to store food and pantry items for a week. A big shout out to Chesapeake Properties for resolving a 2nd floor A/C issue in record time! Hope to return next year, same weekend!

Meh

It was not clean or well maintained. Not a great place for young children. Too many breakable nic nacs that we had to put away. Bed broke, third floor outlet had moisture coming out of it.

Wonderful Long Weekend

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved coming to Cape Charles in September with our grown kids and grandchildren. The grandkids loved the third floor sleeping area. The kitchen living area were perfect to relax in. Being a block away from the main street and across the street from the beach were icing on the cake. everything was clean and well cared for. thank you

Perfect Getaway

The house is beautiful, location is walk across the street to beach access and local restaurants are great! We rented a golf cart from CC’s (amazing personnel) and that is a MUST for easy and convenient run abouts of the beautiful Cape Charles area! We have been to the Cape before but this stay was our absolute BEST! Will stay at this location again!
