About this property

American Four-Square completely renovated, easy walk to the beach!

In town for a family vacation, beach getaway with friends or a wedding nearby? Check out why our classic home would perfectly fit your group. This classic American Four Square home was built 100 years ago but is brand new inside and out! Featuring modern and new appliances and a new heating and air system, this house is a perfect base of operations for your vacation!

The kitchen has granite tops and stainless steel appliances, as well as many smaller necessities such as a coffee maker/Keurig and crockpot. The family room has a large smart TV with cable and an impressive library of DVDs. Plenty of comfy furniture and plenty of board and card games await! There is a good-sized half bath downstairs and a laundry room with a full sized washer and dryer.

Upstairs, the master has a queen bed, full bath, nice closet and TV. The second bedroom has a queen bed, closet and TV and shares a full bath with the third bedroom, which features a single bunk over a double bed and also has a TV.

Based on the amount of bedrooms/beds, we suggest the house comfortably sleeps 7 people (but we’ve got two twin cots) available upon request in advance of your stay if you need to squeeze in a couple more guests).

The whole house has a great WiFi connection and there are plenty of outlets for all your devices! The first floor is all hardwood except ceramic in the bath and laundry and the upstairs is carpeted.

Outside there is a nice covered porch with rocking chairs in the front and a private backyard with a fire pit in the back.

If you’re not sure how to spend your time in a charming Cape Charles, in the house you’ll see we’ve provided our recommendation of restaurants, things to do, and of course, where to shop!

beach weekend

This place was perfect for a weekend getaway at the beach. There was plenty of space for a family of 6 and the house was well appointed. Kitchen had all the basics for cooking. The location was great- 10 min walk to the beach or an easy drive with parking available. Would definitely recommend it!

Cute home and convenient location to park & beach

We have stayed here for two years in a row now & love this location right next to the park. It’s an easy golf cart ride to the beach as well! We also love the convenience of the outdoor shower. The house & shed had everything we needed for our week at the beach! The owners were very helpful and responsive.

Great house for our group of four adults and two children. My ONLY suggestion might be one more trash can. I’m afraid we filled the two up which doesn’t leave much room for the guests coming in behind us. Other than that, couldn’t have been any better.

Relaxing week

Charming and clean house. Felt like home from the moment we walked in. We enjoyed the spacious kitchen and comfortable bedrooms. Our 6 year old grand daughter loved the books and toys that were available for her. We spent most of our time on the back yard/patio area and at the nearby beach.

My husband and 3 children had a great week at The Woodchuck! The house was very spacious and clean. Plenty of pots/pans for cooking etc. The location was perfect, not far from the beach. There were beach chairs and beach toys for our use in the shed. We rented a golf cart which made it convenient to get anywhere in town easily from the house. There is a park a couple blocks from the house. There is a train museum and hiking trails not far as well. The kids loved making s’mores in the firepit in the backyard. The neighbors were very friendly. The owners were very responsive and helpful even offered a welcome backseat with snacks! We had a very relaxing week, we will definitely be back!

Great Cape Chuck stay

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Woodchuck! The home is exactly as advertised and well-appointed for a comfortable getaway. The upstairs temperature trends warmer than the first floor...we were there when the nights turn cool, so cracking a bedroom window did the trick. Owners were super with communication. With a golf cart (rented from a nearby business), it's an easy trip to downtown and most anywhere you'd want to go.

Comfortable, nicely appointed, well-done restoration

Really enjoyed our stay for our first visit to Cape Henry. Loved looking through the book detailing the restoration of the building. The location worked well for us - just about a block from the central park, and an easy walk to the beach or all the shops and restaurants downtown. Jim was excellent with communication, check-in could not have been easier. So many nice things included with this property, pretty much anything anyone could need and more. Very happy with our stay, if we make it back to town we'll be looking at this property first.

Great house

My family (2 adults, 2 children) had an excellent stay at this house. It is just as advertised - spacious, newly renovated, and spotlessly clean,. Well stocked with linens, dishes, and all other essentials. The large TV, with its various apps, all worked well. Check-in was very easy. Owner was very responsive. While the house is slightly outside what some might consider the tourist core of Cape Charles, and in an area where every third house looks dilapidated (this is a juxtaposition found throughout town), it's a close enough walk to the main street, the beach, and to my kids' delight, the excellent Central Park and playground. Would stay here again.

Wonderful home base in Cape Charles

All the old charm and convenience of the Cape Charles historic district with a recent renovation. Spacious, open first floor with a well appointed kitchen. Plenty of board games and toys for a rainy day. On the 2nd floor, there are super comfortable mattresses in the 2 larger bedrooms. Good A/C throughout. Outside, the fire pit is great for smores. Shady trees and a big yard are great for after dinner play. East-facing front porch is a plus (cooler, shadier in evenings). The only minor drawback is that the outdoor shower isn't enclosed, so it's just for rinsing off not full showers. Amazing house. We hope to be back next year!

Wonderful home

We came done to see an old friend that had some health issues. The house was perfect for us, clean, spacious, in a good neighborhood very quiet and yet close to everything. The bedrooms were perfect as well as the rest of the house. It had everything that we needed to have a lovely few days without any stress involved. Everything that we needed in terms of appliances, cooking and serving supplies, TVs, outdoor entertainment and ample parking. The home was easily accessible to a few friends that stopped for short visits. All in all it was a very successful trip back down to the Shore allowing us to see our friend along with a few others that we had know over the years while living there before moving back up North. I highly recommend the home for business , pleasure or for attending an event requiring a stay over We went to the Garden Tour that Saturday and thoroughly enjoyed it then out to dinner in one of the many restaurants available on the Shore. Thank you to the owners for renovating and renting their lovely home to us. T. Loring

Why they chose this property

This is our first year offering this vacation rental at 535 Plum Street. We purchased the home in November 2016, went through the historic district board review for approvals before work could commence. Work began April/May 2017 and officially finished in December 2017 with minor changes occurring through April 2018 (furniture). We are happy with the end results and we know you will find the home just as comfortable for your family as we find it for ours.

In the back you will find a deck with patio furniture (cushions in the shed) and a fire pit. The shed offers a charcoal grill, beach gear, a cooler and two bikes (bring your own helmet). There is an outdoor shower on the side of the house to rinse off the sand before coming inside.

We are just a few easy walking (or biking!) blocks from the beach or even to the shops on Main Street. We are very near the park and children's play area.

Free WiFi is provided and a smart TV with Roku (using your own account) a blue-ray player is available with a collection of movies.

A Graco Pack 'n Play (with bassinet) for infant sleeping, High Chair with a splash mat for underneath, and a few child dishes are available.

Bedrooms: 2 with queen size bed, 1 with bunk bed - twin over a double. Air Mattress are available upon request (advanced notice). Linens are new!

There are a full washer and dryer in the laundry room and and rack to hang your wet clothes to dry.

In the family room there are a few board/card games and a full size checkerboard on the game table.

Just a few reminders - follow the speed limit signs as they are truly enforced! Also be sure to park your car by BACKING IN on the angled parking on Mason Avenue.

There are some great shops and restaurants both in Cape Charles and around. We hope you enjoy your stay in the quaint "Mayberry" town of Cape Charles as we do.

What makes this property unique

- Private fire pit in the backyard
- Two bikes free to use
- Handful of board games, cards, DVDs
