Fully Restored 1886 Beach Cottage Close To Downtown Shops. Pelican Place, once featured on THIS OLD HOUSE, has all the comfort of today with the charm of yesteryear. Once a railroad office, the cottage was moved to the present site; the interior was gutted, deconstructed with structures salvaged and renovated, and then rebuilt with modern plumbing and wiring, central air and heat, and other modern comforts yet still retaining its period character.



The cottage is fully equipped for a care-free vacation: a huge, well stocked kitchen, comfortable living room with a 50 inch TV and entertainment center, games, movies, and Netflix. Sleep well in the comfortable beds. For your beach needs, there are an outside shower, beach chairs and toys, and even off street parking large enough for a boat.

Getting Around:

Cape Charles is located near the southern tip of Virginia’s Eastern Shore right on the Chesapeake Bay. Cape Charles is a small town (the historic area is roughly a six block by six block square) that sits on the peninsula’s western coast, meaning you can sit on the beach in Cape Charles and watch the sunset right over the water. On the Chesapeake Bay, not the Atlantic Ocean, the water is calm and shallow. The picturesque town of Cape Charles is filled with Americana, all about family and beautiful surroundings, voted one of the Happiest Seaside Towns by Coastal Living. Let the beach be your playground! Check out the walkable retail district, schedule a tee time at one of Bay Creek's award-winning golf courses, or take a water adventure for fishing and cruising.
