About this property

Newly Renovated, Steps From Beach, Historic District, and Park

Renovated Single Family Home: Walking distance to BEACH and CAPE CHARLES HISTORIC DISTRICT and CENTRAL PARKOur renovated, 1906, Queen Anne Victorian is in the heart of Cape Charles Historic District. Located on a quiet, Crepe Myrtle-lined street, just two blocks from shops and restaurants on Mason Avenue, a short walk to the Chesapeake Bay/Beach, and just steps from Central Park, Cape Breeze Retreat is a quintessential beach vacation home!

Cape Breeze Retreat is an ideal home for true relaxation. Just park your car for the duration of your stay because you won’t need it! Most vacationers find renting a golf cart the perfect way to navigate and enjoy the quaint town. Others simply prefer walking as everything you need is within a few blocks!

While relaxing from Cape Breeze Retreat’s FRONT PORCH SWING, Rocking Chairs, or dining table on one of the two porches, we recommend that our guests follow our “Porch Rules”:
Treasure Family Time, Feel the Breeze, Read a Book, Enjoy the Seasons, Listen to Music, Visit with Friends, Smile, Talk to God, Put your Feet Up, Sip Your Favorite Beverage, Reminisce, Be Grateful

Outside, there is a large fenced in backyard with a garden, patio set, bench, and a small gold fish pond. An outdoor shower makes it easy to shower your family off after a day at the beach. A new HVAC system will keep you cool and comfortable on even the hottest days!

As one of the larger homes in the district, you will find ample space with modern cottage house décor.

The first floor welcomes you into a large foyer which includes a hand-carved newel post, a bench seat and waiting area. Cape Breeze Retreat offers a large newly renovated, fully stocked kitchen which includes a coffee/tea bar, a new half bathroom, and separate mud and laundry rooms. Beach goers can park their golf cart in the provided “cart” driveway, take a shower or rinse off outside, and enter through the back porch.

A large dining table sits next to a fireplace which seats 8 comfortably with 2 more additional chairs. Adjacent Bar seating accommodates another 4.

Additionally, there is a living room with a large sectional, smart television, games, puzzles, and books for your enjoyment.

On the second floor you will find three bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The master suite has a large bathroom and a queen-size bed. The second bedroom has a canopy queen-size bed, while the third bedroom has a twin-size bed over a full-size bunkbed with an additional twin over twin bunkbed.

The beautifully illuminated, natural light, third level has 2 more bedrooms and another bathroom. We call this space the “Crow’s Nest”! One room houses two twin beds, while the other has a queen bed, therefore sleeping another 4 people. Additionally, the third floor offers a newly renovated shiplap, lounge space and another television. Two hammock chairs are available to relax in as well! More games, puzzles, and books are available, but more kid-friendly options.

For your convenience, beach toys, chairs, umbrellas, and a heavy duty, large-wheel, beach wagon are provided for your use.

Cape Charles has a way of stimulating your senses and capturing your heart. My husband, two children, and I feel in love with the town and its people from our very first visit. We hope that you are as captivated by the charm of this lovely, historic, beach community as we are!

Beautiful home with plenty of space
This beautiful house was perfect for a family Thanksgiving away from home. We had 9 adults and 3 children - we had enough room to spread out and have our own space but also plenty of room to be together. It was very well stocked - We had everything we needed in the kitchen and around the house. The location was great - we enjoyed taking walks around the neighbor hood, to the park, and to the beach. The hosts were very responsive to questions/needs prior to and throughout our stay.

Wonderful 1st visit to Cape Charles
We had a large family group of all ages and found this home to be spacious and comfortable. The decor and updates throughout the house are really beautiful. We celebrated our daughter's 1st birthday there and our family used the trip to say good bye to my husband leaving on deployment. The kids loved hanging out in the crows nest and making s'mores in the back yard. We could walk everywhere we wanted to go. It was a wonderful first trip to Cape Charles.

About the host

Hosted by Laura Manzolina

Host profile image
As a family from Northern Virginia we were looking to get away from the daily grind and relax. We wanted to go somewhere within a few hours from home, but feel as if we were far removed from the hustle and bustle of daily living in the suburb. As we drove over the Chesapeake Bay Bridge and Tunnel we found ourselves in a far removed, stress free world. It was as though we had stepped back in time. We enjoyed staying in the historic district, steps away from a quiet beach and historic town full of shops and restaurants. As we relaxed on a front porch, breathed in the bayside air, and found happiness in our children's laughter, we found ourselves dreaming of having a home here. After weeks, we closed on a place in the district... After months, we made it into a quintessential vacation home; a home where you too can make memories with family, unwind and relax, and simply breathe.

Cape Breeze Retreat is a contributing home as per the National Register of Historic Places.
