About this property

Across from the park and 2 blocks from beach & restaurants- LEFT side of duplex

Perfect for families with children; And for Two Families to Rent Side-by-side!
We offer BOTH mirror image sides of our vacation rental duplex, 303 and 305 Strawberry Street. We recently purchased this duplex and plan to continue the history of making memories for families for years to come! This 1925 duplex has beautiful soft light from tall windows and a great dining room to gather. Couples, small groups of friends, and families who want to slow down, go to the beach and the park, and relax in this walk-able small town should feel right at home.

Each side has 3 bedrooms and 1.5 baths - they are similar bot not identical. The atmosphere is sunny coastal with style-conscious kitchen and baths. The property has a fenced-in small yard with deck with table and 4 chairs, upscale grill, outdoor shower, and some beach gear for your convenience.

Our property is conveniently located at the crossroads of Cape Charles - an easy walk to "downtown", the beach, and across the street from Central Park. The duplex has a covered porch to enjoy your coffee in the morning overlooking the park and a back deck with table/chairs, umbrella and new gas grill, overlooking the fenced-in back yard with outdoor shower. The kitchen is newly equipped with upscale dishes and serving pieces if you like to entertain, Keurig coffee maker, electric and stovetop teapots. The kitchen also has a high chair, or youth chair if the tray is removed, plus children's dishes are provided.

WiFi internet is provided and a new 40" flat screen. We've added a few DVDs, games, and books in the dining room bookshelf, along with a few toys/puzzles.

Bedrooms: 1 with a king size bed, 1 with a double bed and 1 with 2 twin-size beds. Linens provided by a linen service.

There is an outdoor shower and small, fenced-in back yard. Beach gear that is provided to lighten the load of your travel here includes: 4 beach chairs and beach cart. Sometimes guests have left their purchases, e.g., fishing poles and crab nets, rather than take them home. There is a stacking washer-dryer in the kitchen. For dog(s) approved in advance, dog bed is provided. A pet cleaning fee is charged for approved dogs. An additional cost of cleaning any furniture and bed spreads will be retained from your security deposit if the fur is found on the furniture and beds.

Cape Charles is embraced by water on three sides: commercial town harbor and yacht center (south), public beach (west), and marina (north). It's a wonderful setting if you love the water! Park Place is 3 blocks from the beach (Bay Ave.) and 2 blocks from the shops on main street (Mason Ave.). We are a mile from Bay Creek's two signature golf courses by Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus, with top ratings by Golf Digest. The area promotes eco-tourism opportunities, including kayaking (even kayak/wine-tasting trips to a local winery), fishing off the town pier, hiking, and birding. You can rent jet skis at the harbor, bicycles, and golf carts. The town often has festivals, planned recreational activities for children and adults, and sometimes shows, movies, or live bands in the Park. The Eastern Shore Birding and Wildlife Festival in early October - fall weather is great here! Festive Fridays for shopping and Christmas treats are held the month of December on Mason Avenue. Year-round, Cape Charles has live theater performed by Arts Enter and others at the Palace Theater, art galleries, a Brown Dog ice cream shop, ladies upscale consignment, and beautiful spa to name a few of the attractions in town! We have good eateries and, if you like nostalgia, be sure to stop by the lunch counter at Rayfield's pharmacy at the corner of Mason Ave. and Fig. Street. Cape Charles Medical Center is located on Mason Ave. too.

Great Place in Cape Charles
Our family stayed here for Christmas and it was the perfect spot for us. The house is located directly across from Central Park and walking distance to anywhere in town. The house was clean and in great condition. It had everything we needed. Would stay again.

Pet Friendly & Great Location
I had to book last minute and John was so nice and accommodating. The house was very clean. It’s in a perfect location facing the park and only a few blocks from the beach, shopping and restaurants. The weather was a little dreary and having a comfortable, well stocked home made up for that.

Cape Charles fun weekend
The house was very charming. It was furnished with everything we needed. The handle on the front door kept falling off -- small fix. Great location.

Just right
This was our first time vacationing in Cape Charles. The property had all the right things to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable. John was very communicative and helpful when we had questions. The cleaning crew seemed to leave a few responsibilities behind upon our arrival but this was a minor thing to us and John was helpful to get everything squared away. The property itself is older so has the all charm of an older space, i.e. uneven, creaking but beautiful floors, noise traveling, but it didn't bother us much and we found it gives the place character. We enjoyed the kids toys supplied because any kid knows that other peoples' toys are better than theirs :) The park being across the street was great. They have a big playground, fields to run around, concerts on Saturday night, and a splash-pad fountain; all were a big hit. The only thing we found a little difficult with the property was the number of outlets in each room, which was exactly one. With two very small kiddos, we have lots to plug in (noise machines, monitors, "wake-to-rise" clocks, chargers), so we found this a little challenging. The property supplied extension cords and power strips to help but we still found it a bit hard. Overall, a wonderful week with all we needed. We will definitely vacation to Cape Charles next year and hope the Twins on Strawberry St. are available to rent again! Thanks John for a great stay!

About the host

Hosted by John Gavin

Host profile image
Jennifer and I live outside of Richmond with our two children and also thought about the day we could have our own beach house. We have been coming to Cape Charles since 2014 and really love everything Cape Charles has to offer.

Why they chose this property

We saw this property and instantly knew it is exactly what we wanted. We wanted to have a place that we could have family and friends come to visit and also have potential to have some rental income. This gave us the opportunity to create memories for our family and also have other families enjoy our home and experience Cape Charles.

What makes this property unique

The unique benefits of this home is the location! It is right across the street from central park and also only a couple blocks from the beach and restaurants in town. We wanted a location that was convenient to everything in town.
