Nice location. Not well maintained home.
We were underwhelmed by the home. On the positive, lovely historic home in great proximity to everything. Negative, house smells of pet urine, carpets had urine stains, kitchen floor was disgusting, utensils needed to be washed before using, dishwasher had food in the bottom. No dish washer detergent was provided. The back porch needs power washing and repair. There is no hot tub or jetted tub as advertised. It is a duplex… not a single family home

Large duplex in a great location
The duplex is very big--more space than our family needed, but the extra space was great to have. We loved that the home is dog friendly. The duplex is in a great location, close to the park, the bakery and the main street with shops and restaurants in downtown Cape Charles. Corrina/the property manager was very responsive to my questions.

Nice large house with great location.
The house was everything we were expecting and hoping for. Just a block or two from everything downtown, close to the park, and a short cart ride to the beach. Plenty of space around back to park the cart or an extra car if needed. Great neighborhood.

Vacation 2023
No toilet paper when we arrived. Beds in master bedrooms were hard. TVs in bedrooms didn't work. (Remote batteries exploded). Bathroom sink sprayed water everywhere. We couldn't use the 2nd story balcony because it was unsafe and moved when we walked on it. Need a blender. 18 guests and not enough towels for the week at all. Other than the few little things, the bay was great for littles. The beach with waves (Virginia Beach) is an hour drive, and you have to pay tunnel tolls everytime. 14$ during the week and 18$ on weekends. That would have been nice to know... but we did enjoy the stay. Quiet town. Great ice cream and brewery was a bonus.

Great large house
6 adults, 5 children, and a dog...and there was plenty of space! We had a great week. Wifi worked great, kitchen was pretty well stocked, and there's no place better to stay than in Cape Charles! The house is close to the main street, but a little bit further from the beach. Be sure to look into renting a golf cart for the week (well in advance, because they sell out). The house is a duplex so you share the front and back porch. Walls were thick though so we didn't hear them at all during the trip. Great house overall (no bedrooms on the main floor, so be prepared to walk up lots of steps. Not an issue for our group though.) Would definitely consider staying here again.

Nice location but house needs work
The pictures represent a well maintained house. That is far from accurate! No hot water in kitchen, kitchen floor has major slant, peeling paint through out house, nothing has been updated. The house is in a great location though.

Perfect for our spring break getaway
We had a wonderful stay in this older, historic property. It was clean, spacious, and had everything we needed for a few days away from home. We loved the proximity to downtown with shops and restaurants, and the walk to the beach was not far either. It was great to be able to bring our dog with us and she loved getting to explore Cape Charles! Communication with the owner was great and check in was very easy. The only criticism I have is that the listing wasn't specific that the house was a duplex and that the rental was for one side. We found out after we booked. This was not a problem at all, but would have been nice to see that specified in the listing. We were looking for a quiet place to rest during our teenagers' spring break, and this was absolutely perfect!

Love Cape Charles
Our group had a wonderful visit in Cape Charles. The rental is spacious, well equipped kitchen, very clean, and fabulous location. It is in need of updating and renovations of furnishings, especially the dining and living room. There are not enough dining seats, nor living room seating, to accommodate the number it sleeps. Operating the tv’s was challenging too. The 2nd floor balcony is unsafe to use as it is not attached to the building. It shakes with any movement. With improvements, this will be a jewel of a rental.

Great place to stay in Cape Charles!
This was a really nice house, with plenty of room and privacy for all the friend couples on this trip. The AC was great...took no time at all to get the third floor down to temp. Ample parking. Breaker tripped when we tried to plug in golf carts, so we couldn't use the microwave, and the house smelled a little musty when we first got in, but once the AC kicked in it was great. Overall, this was a great place right in the middle of the town and walking distance to everything! VRBO has the wrong address listed, but that appears to be a VRBO problem, not an owner problem. I would definitely stay again!

Amazing getaway
We brought our family to Cape Charles for the first time and fell in love with the town’s beauty and charm. The property was in a great location convenient to shops restaurants and beach. The house had plenty of space for our family of 6 adults and 2 small children and was comfortable. The kitchen is quite small and needs updating which made it a little difficult to prepare meals. The house could use some updating but suited our needs. We enjoyed our first stay in CC and are sure to return.

Best vacation ever!
We had the best time and cannot wait to go again. We didn't know Cape Charles before the trip but the town and the place were great! Friendly, safe beach town. You can walk everywhere (less than a mile) or rent a golf cart, even an 8 seater! Beach was great, outside shower at the place was great. Minor rental home issues: back door lock was tricky, kitchen sink sometimes randomly switched to the spray gun (shooting the victim in front), and some beds were wonky but the kids didn't mind. Overall just what we were looking for: three families, 7 kids.

Disappointed
This was my first time using VRBO and unfortunately I was pretty disappointed. I’ve used other rental services before and never had an issue. This house needed some serious TLC. The back door didn’t lock properly, the front door knob was pretty loose. The back door was also about to fall off the hinges, there was a loose piece of metal on the 3rd floor roof that banged against the house when the wind picked up which was the last 4 days we were there. The noise in the house was extremely loud. I notified management the 2nd day and was told it would be taken care of the next day. 4 sleepless nights later, it was never fixed. Not only was it loud inside the house but it was also a safety hazard if it were to come off completely and fly through the yard. The shower handle was broken at the valve and the garbage was so full the day we arrived we couldn’t do anything with our garbage for the first 3 days.

Nice Old House
Nice Old House in a beautiful small town. Covid kept us from doing many things we might otherwise have done, in particular, dining out. But the beach is nice if a tad shallow, and a few trips to Kiptopeke got us in some deeper water. The take out meals we had were good and it is convenient to grocery, seafood, and farm stands. All in all well worth the cost and drive.

Blazing heat...
Property gets an A+ for great AC, that's for sure. 100+ most of the week we were there and house stayed nice and cool, even on the third floor. Mattresses on the bunk and single beds are definitely showing their age and we're not very comfortable, and 15 people would have been really tight, had all our folks made it.. Covid prevented that unfortunately. Nice house, super convenient to the shops etc and an easy cart ride to the beach.
