We stayed for week in Cape Charles. There were 4 adults and a smal child in our party.The house made for a most delightful place to spend this vacation.Perfect location, very roomy and comfortable, well supplied, very clean.Park with children's playground was a special treat. Close to the beach and shopping district. Highly recommend and would definitely stay again
The location of this property was perfect for a family with young children. The proximity to the park gave quick access to a play ground, splash pad and other activities. Its close enough to the beach that a golf cart was the perfect mode of transportation. The house was spacious, clean and well maintained.

Reba,
Glad you enjoyed the house and location. Thanks for leaving the place in great shape. Come back anytime and enjoy all the town has to offer.

We loved our stay and cannot wait to return. We spent the week here with our preschooler and my parents. The house had plenty of space for everyone to get ample rest, plenty of bathrooms so no one ever had to wait for a shower, and a lot of common spaces for us to gather as a family. It overlooks the park, which is a HUGE plus for anyone staying with young kids. The porches were so, so nice and a great way to end the day. We will be coming back soon!

Glad you enjoyed the house and your stay. Agree the golf carts round put the experience. Please visit again.
Family friendly, as it is overlooking the park and has great sleeping options for families of multiple children. House was clean and had what we needed for a short two night stay. The beds were comfortable and AC worked beautifully, so we all slept very well during our stay.
Great location next to the park with great amenities. House was the perfect size and very updated. Hosts were responsive and accommodating. We will definitely book here again

Great location next to the park and a short walk to the beach. Being able to rent the golf carts and having them ready for us when we arrived was a wonderful convenience. Front porch was great for after dinner ice cream.

About the host
Hosted by John McLaughlin
Originally from Philadelphia, (John) and my wife (Rachelle) is from New Orleans, however we make Virginia Beach our home now and have been in the area since 2003. We have been making trips to Cape Charles during this time and really enjoy the small-town charm of the place. In 2015, we decided to embark on building a vacation home that we and others can utilize as a getaway from what is usually a busy schedule.
Why they chose this property
Our new custom home is made perfect for relaxing, with everything close by. It's an easy walk to the beach or to the main street in town. My favorite is sitting on the front porch in the summer and enjoying the concerts on Saturday nights in the park, great seats without leaving the house. If you have kids, the playground is right past the neighbor's house.
What makes this property unique
Enjoy the concerts in the Park right from the front porch. If you are traveling with children, you can send them right outside to the swings in the playground to keep them occupied, if needed. You do not have to go far to take a peaceful stroll along the pathway in the park, located across the street in front of the house.
