The Best Stay

Ahren was so helpful with our trip/stay! We enjoyed the home and the town. Clean, comfortable, and relaxing vibes! There was so much space for my family, very cozy space, and there was plenty of room for some alone time here and there. The town is absolutely lovely! Right out of a movie.

The best stay we have had at CC so far!! The house was spotless. Everything was described perfectly and worked as it should. The location was perfect. The living room had enough seating for everyone, which we have found challenging in other homes. My kids adored the little attic room! I cannot say enough positive things about the Baydream Believer. We will definitely stay here again!

Bay dreaming made easy…

Baydream Believer is a quaint, stylish, unique property; a mix of Boho and MCM. We love older homes lovingly restored! The space is inviting and enjoyable. Every room was spacious. The HVAC units worked wonderfully on the first and second floors. The wall unit and small fan on the top floor helped our children get comfortable. This home has a perfect location in Cape Charles! Two blocks to Mason St (main), three blocks to the beach, and just over a block to the wonderful park/playground. We walked or carted everywhere. There was an issue with cleanliness that the owner Ahren was immediately able to address by having the cleaning lady right over. We were impressed by how concerned and quickly responsive Ahren was. We loved having Turkish towels and a full bag of beach toys available as well as the Speakman shower head! Great hostess. We’d surely stay again.

Beautiful home in great location

This was our second year staying at Baydream Believer and we had another wonderful week! The house is so beautifully decorated and has a perfect room on the top floor for our kids (ages 9, 7, and 4). There’s a cute reading nook room and everything feels clean and well maintained. It is just a couple blocks from the beach and a couple blocks to the shops so the location is excellent. Ahren and Ryan are so kind and quick to respond if anything comes up. Already can’t wait for our next visit!

Wonderful Family Vacation

My husband and I rented this property and two of our adult children joined us, one with a partner. We had a great time. We were a few blocks from the beach and two blocks from town. There was enough to do to keep everyone entertained, but still relaxing. We can't wait to go again next summer. None of us wanted to leave.

Excellent stay in a beautiful home - can’t wait to return

We had a great week at Baydream Believer!! The location is perfect (a few blocks from the beach and from main street) and right by the park. The house is clean and beautifully decorated. Our kids (ages 8, 6, and 3) loved the upstairs kids bedroom. The house is well stocked and there are lots of great books for beach reading! We can’t wait to return!!

Incredible Property, Fabulous Management

We had a fabulous stay at the Baydream Believer to wrap up spring break and my maternity leave! We had two families - 4 adults and 5 kids and there was plenty of extra space. Cape Charles is so charming and everything was accessible by foot from the house (though we did rent a golf cart which the kids thought was a blast)! The house was clean, beautifully decorated, well-stocked, and Ahren was incredibly communicative (she even let us know when the cleaners were finished so we could check in early). We definitely plan to return!

A Wonderful Place To Stay!

We just came back from a perfect, long weekend getaway at Baydream Believer. It is the nicest place we have stayed at Cap Charles and we go as often as we can. The house is very well maintained, even bigger than the photos suggest, warm and inviting. The kitchen is well stocked for any cooking you might want to do, the beds were incredibly comfortable all within the heart of the downtown area. Owner was very responsive and communicative and we are planning on going back to stay there again. Book it, you won't be disappointed!

Perfect Getaway!

I can not say enough good things about this house & Cape Charles! It was perfect for our family of 5, with plenty of room for more! Our boys especially loved the kids bedroom/playroom. Renting a golf cart was fun for us all! The owners are wonderful and were very helpful and quick to communicate with us. We absolutely can not wait to come back!

About the host

Hosted by Ahren Foster

Host profile image

Hi! We are Ryan & Ahren. We live in Richmond, VA with our family. We have 3 years of experience managing a property in Charlottesville, Va. We fell in love with Cape Charles when we first visited 5 years ago. This past summer, on our own family vacation, things fell into place and we came across this property. We are so excited to share it and this sweet town with you!

Why they chose this property

This property was built in 1888 and was recently renovated by a couple in town. They did a lovely job. This house has the convenience modern amenities with the charm of the homes that make Cape Charles wonderful!

What makes this property unique

We are a corner property, so we have lots of outdoor space for your kids to ride bikes, sidewalk chalk, etc. We are one block from the park in the center of town. We are also one block from the business district in town. We are a few blocks back from the beach, so just a short walk and you are there. We love riding our bikes to the beach. Lots of others prefer to rent a golf cart for the week to make getting around town a breeze!
