About this property

Wonderfully Updated and Renovated in the Historic District. 2-3 Night Min Stay

Located in the Cape Charles Historic District, this completely renovated cottage is close to everything - beaches, shopping, marinas, restaurants, wedding venues, golf, and parks.

The downstairs layout is very open including a large center kitchen island perfect for cooking, dinning or playing games. (The house can seat 12 for dinner - 7 at the dining room table and 5 at the bar). The kitchen is well stocked with pots, pans, tools, etc.. A 1/2 bath and laundry room are located off of the kitchen.

Upstairs has 3 small bedrooms, each with a queen bed. There is also a full bath (tub/shower) with a double sink.

Outside you will find a covered front porch, rear deck, HUGE outdoor shower, swing set, and charming back yard sitting area with 4 Adirondack chairs.

High end finishes through out - granite counter tops, custom moldings, teak flooring.

Linens, pillows, and bath towels are included.

Fully stocked kitchen and gas grill (propane provided).

Wifi provided.

(4) Beach chairs provided.

No pets, no smoking.

Attending a wedding at The Oyster Farm / King's Creek Marina? This is one of the closest Historic District rental homes to the wedding venue. It's a 1 minute car ride or a pleasant walk!

Our family purchased this home in 2013 and immediately began a complete renovation (and re-configuration!). The goal was to maximize the modest size and allow the property to function like a much larger home, while maintaining the original style and charm. The renovation was completed in 2014. Over the years, we have expanded the outdoor space to include a patio and playset for children. Our family has made many memories in Cape Charles, and we welcomed our first VRBO guests in the fall of 2017. Since then, we have enjoyed sharing all the town has to offer with others.

What a lovely home! All was immaculately clean…the home is well appointed with everything we needed during our stay. The beds were comfortable and we loved sitting with the fireplace on fall evenings. Close to everything in town, lots of great eating options and lovely beach.

Great place

We enjoyed our stay here so much. The house was very clean. The kitchen was very well stocked. We were glad that we had rented a golf cart as the house was a little farther from the shops and restaurants and beach than we were willing to walk with two small kids in tow.

Wonderful stay once again!! So nice, so clean, so comfortable, just lovely all around. The house has everything you need - so nice not to worry about bringing our own beach chairs or cooking implements. My daughter is a big fan of the kids books in the house too :) Hosts are wonderfully communicative. Hoping we can nab this gem again next year!
