About this property

Cape Escape-Short Walk to Beach, Pet Friendly, Fenced Yard & Optional GC Rental

Beautiful beach house with fenced in yard, double porches and the comfort of a "home away from home" for your Cape Charles Vacation. This home is a short walk to the beach (4 blocks), one block from the town park and public Tennis/Pickle Ball Courts, and just around the corner from the wonderful Oyster Farm Restaurant and Events Venue.
It offers three bedrooms and 2 1/2 baths with an outdoor shower. The spacious master bedroom is furnished with a king-size bed and a full size roll-away bed, adjoining full bathroom, 40" Smart Flat Screen TV, and home office space on the 3rd-floor private level. There are two guest bedrooms and a full bathroom on the second floor; one bedroom offers a queen-sized bed and a 32" Smart Flat Screen TV, with a door to the upper-level porch to enjoy the evening breeze. The third bedroom is perfect for adults and children, furnished with a full over full-size bunk bed, and a 32" Flat Screen TV. This room also offers an Infant Pack-N-Play, Baby Gate, Board Games, Children's Books, and a door to the upper-level porch, which is secured with an upper lock if needed to ensure safety for children.
The living area has an open floor plan between the kitchen and the living room. The living room offers a 50" Samsung Flat Screen Smart TV, a comfy leather sofa, and two swivel chairs. Our home has Free Wi-Fi, Spectrum Cable, Roku's, and all the Smart TVs' features.
The kitchen is well furnished for dining in; all updated stainless steel appliances, pots & pans, and small appliances (crock pot, toaster, blender, coffee maker, etc). We also have a nice custom farmhouse dining table, a bar area, and an infant high chair for dining.
The backyard is perfect for grilling out, with a gas grill, picnic table, and fenced-in yard. We also offer an outdoor shower, storage shed, and 4 beach chairs. We have a golf cart available to rent for $275 per week and adjusted rates for shorter stays. There is a security camera placed on the front porch for additional security while the home is vacant and during turnover, however, we do not keep it on while you are occupying the home.
Take advantage of one of the best Charter Captains on the Eastern Shore, Wilson Cropp, to guide you on an amazing fishing excursion to catch the Eastern Shores finest: Flounder, Red Drum, Cobia, Striper, or Shark. Captain Cropp also charters day trips to the abandoned barrier islands to enjoy shelling, bird watching, and fabulous scenic views.
Historic Cape Charles is the best-kept secret on the Eastern Shore, with the most amazing sunsets, fishing, birdwatching, canoeing, kayaking, biking, or simply relaxing to your favorite book with your feet in the sand. There are also many wonderful restaurants and fun shops in downtown Cape Charles. It has been featured in Coastal Living as one of America's "Happiest Beach Towns," as well as Beach Front Bargain Hunt on HGTV, and Southern Living. Cape Charles has something to offer every family or group looking to have a fun relaxing beach get away!

About the host

Hosted by Ashley Sabo

Host profile image
We began hosting on VRBO 12 years ago with the desire of owning a vacation home and having guests enjoy it as well. Our first home was purchased in VA, and since that time we have purchased 3 others in South Carolina. Hosting on VRBO and hearing about the wonderful memories our guests make in these homes has since become my passion. My husband and I are originally from VA and Florida. We currently reside in Tega Cay, SC on Lake Wylie...yes we love the water (salt and fresh). My husband served in the US Marine Corp., then attended Montreat College, and I attended Clemson University and obtained my Bachelor's Degree in Nursing. We have 2 children, our son is a third-generation student at Clemson University, and our daughter is a Senior in High School. We also have two loving Labrador Retrievers, and understand the importance of traveling with your "Whole Family" (2- and 4-legged children).

Why they chose this property

We chose this area because I am originally from Charlottesville, VA and my parents currently live in Cape Charles. My husband enjoys fishing with my father on the Bay, and we simply love the Town of Cape Charles! We chose this location of Cape Charles, due to the nice quiet area, located on a street that does not have high traffic volume. It was also important to us to be located in historic Cape Charles, to allow our guests to enjoy the use of a golf cart if desired, and only a short distance from the beach.

What makes this property unique

This property offers a lovely double front-porch option, and a nice fenced-in backyard. It also has a storage building in the backyard that houses our 4 person golf cart, beach chairs, umbrella, and beach toys. The golf cart is available to rent for $225 per week, and pro-rated for shorter stays.
