Another terrific stay!

This year was our fifth staying at The Grand Escape. It’s perfect for families and larger groups. Everyone was comfortable and appreciated the roominess and cleanliness of the house. The location can’t be beat, two blocks to the beach and one short block to Mason Avenue! We especially love sitting on the front porch. Thanks for another great stay!

July family vacation

We've vacationed in Cape Charles several times and find it to be perfect for our two grandchildren (ages 5 and 7). This house is spacious enough for our group and close to both the water and the ice cream store. Grand Escape is a very comfortable house with historic charm.

Love this property for our multigenerational family. Close to everything and everyone has the space they need. Property is dog friendly and the cleaning crew isn’t the best at getting up dog hair. We have dogs at home so we can deal with it but anyone who is sensitive to dog hair or dander may want to find a dog free property.

Wonderful week

This house had everything we needed or could think of--of all the houses we have stayed at this was the favorite. Spacious, full of toys, chairs, bikes--everything we needed--and so close to town. We will definitely rent this great house again!

Why they chose this property

Our family has vacationed for several years in Cape Charles and we fell in love with the town. Every time we visited, we always looked at the area and wanted a place of our own. We came upon this house and knew that it would fit our entire family in the house comfortably (We as the grandparents, our 3 kids and their spouses and our 7 grandkids).
