The location was great. The rooms were comfortable. We found the living area to be small for a group of 6 adults. Would have appreciated a keyless entry.

Excellent location near Brown Dog and the beach, and a pretty well stocked house. Very spacious. It’s a walk up — you get the second floor and a smaller 3rd floor. Nice big, sunny deck off the kitchen. It seemed like it’s a relatively new rental, so they didn’t have a lot of extras like beach chairs and towels. But the house was very clean and had all the necessities.

Lovely remodeled 1900-era house. Comfortable, charming, quick walk to beach. n.b. Townhouse-style so be able to do stairs.

The location and many aspects were great! The cleanliness of the linens and property was disappointing. It was also a second and third floor property, which I don't think was made clear in the listing. However, the property manager was very communicative and made an effort to fix all issues, even providing a gift card to a local restaurant.

Great stay for family and kids

We loved our stay with our almost 2yo, 4yo, and pup. The space was open, great proximity to beach and downtown area, and owner was responsive.

We had a really nice trip to Cape Charles staying at this property. The location is very central and close to the beach (although I always recommend golf carts for this particular city!). A few things to note. Although there is plenty of street parking, if you need to charge a golf cart, you’ll have to pull up to the back of the house. The rental is a duplex style unit, so, as another reviewer noted, the kitchen/living spaces are all on the second and third floor if stairs are a consideration. There are 3 bedrooms on the second/kitchen level and 1 bedroom on the third level. The kitchen was nice and updated, although a bit on the sparse side utensils and cookware wise. The beds are pretty comfy and are on the soft side. I think they are currently working through a bunk bed situation but I believe the setup is to have 2 twin bunk beds (for a total of 4). The bedroom curtains are sheer and the beach is bright! Lastly, I had a self inflicted issue that the host was very responsive to, which I greatly appreciated. Thanks for a great stay!

Wonderful stay in Cape Charles

House was perfect for our group of four, with a bedroom for each of us. House was well equipped, clean and in a perfect location just a block and 1/2 to the beach and shopping/dining. The house has been remodeled beautifully. Host was very responsive and very helpful. Would highly recommend!

This property is beautiful with a short walk to the beach, park and town. Everything we needed, was supplied. Plenty of space for everyone to spread out with comfortable seating in the living room. Every bedroom had a television and I especially liked the master suite on the top floor. Very doggie friendly! Look forward to returning next year.

Nicely decorated house close to there a beach

This is a new rental property. It was a nice place to stay. Since it's new you may need to bring some kitchen tools (strainer for pasta or cleaning fruits and veggies, etc.). It has the appliances you'd expect plus an air fryer. The owner is ordering more chairs for the dinette set. All in all we thoroughly enjoyed our stay there.

Good location, friendly neighborhood

House is nicely remodeled, had everything we needed, and was an easy walk into town and the bay. Parking was easy. I wasn’t expecting the living area to be on the second floor… anyone with mobility issues should be aware of the steep stairway. A few hooks would be a welcome touch in the bedrooms and bathrooms, but I have a feeling this remodel is a work in progress and I think it will continue to improve! No complaints… we had a nice time!

Great spot

We are Cape Charles regulars and like staying different places as they pop up renovated. This little gem was done so nicely and we love that it offers itself to the dog friendly community which is rare to find! We had a mix up with communication for check in but fortunately the host was very on top of direct communication and fixed that almost immediately. Lastly we had an issue with the housekeeping staff not coming prior to our arrival but again the hosts were on top of it, had it cleaned within the first few hours we were there, and refunded the cleaning deposit. They were beyond kind in taking care of us for the mix up. Would stay again!

Great place!

We loved staying here in Cape Charles! The duplex is in a great location, close to the beach and the adorable Mason St where there are tons of cute shops and restaurants. We will definitely be back. The home was extremely clean and had everything we needed for our short stay. The only caution would be if you’re traveling with elderly family members. The main level of the home is upstairs, also the bathrooms could use some grab bars in the showers. Other than that it really is a great place to stay and I would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone. We also rented a golf cart to get around town and it was really fun! The host Steve was a great communicator and made our stay easy. Thank you!

Poor Communication

Upon arrival to the property after not having been sent check-in information (the code to access the door and enter the property) my husband and I had to call & text the owners of the property and attempted to contact VRBO customer support. When we finally were able to reach the owners it was an hour past our designated check-in time. Upon entrance to the property we discovered it had not been cleaned (dirty sheets with unmade beds and dirty towels, dirt everywhere from the beach). Owner stated they had difficulty with prior guests checking out in time and had not had adequate time to clean. Owner requested we wait for housekeepers to clean property and return later. We returned to the property around 8 PM (4 hours after our designated check-in time) after driving 4 hours to reach the location. Overall property was good location and I do appreciate the owners apology however open communication in the hours prior to our arrival would’ve been more appreciated to decrease the stress and inconvenience we encountered to start our trip. Unfortunately given how poor the communication was I would definitely not stay at this location again.

We do apologize for the communication during your stay- this was a new scenario for us and we tried to deal with it the best we could while being 6 hours away from the property. We would also like it to be noted that we did try to accommodate the guests as best we could and did send them $100 towards dinner at Cape Charles while they waited for the cleaning to occur. Again, we are sorry that this was your experience, we did out best. Thank you

We stayed for 4 nights (6/11 - 6/15). House was amazing! Very beautiful and clean. Located 2 blocks from main road in town and the beach. Stacy was attentive and kind. I had to text her a few times for issues (on my part, not hers) and she was very accommodating. Next time we plan a trip, we will definitely be hoping to book this place again!
