Cottage by the bay

We had a lovely stay at fishtails and would definitely come back! The cozy cottage was perfect for our small family. It was so close to cape Charles beach and yet out of the business of town. The location was convenient and we had everything we needed for our long weekend.

This cottage is absolutely adorable. The owner provides almost all household needs, to include kitchen, bath and linens. The only thing we needed to do was grocery shop. The town is cute as a button, and a very short drive away. Parking is ample and free. We Loved Cape Charles, including this cottage, and will definitely return.
