About this property
Next to the park and 2 blocks to the Beach and restaurants! RIGHT 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 TV. 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 a beach cart. Sometimes guests have left their purchases, e.g., fishing poles and crab nets, rather than take them home. There is a 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.

We had a wonderfully comfortable, relaxing stay. The property was very well equipped, the furniture was comfortable, and the location was fantastic. Very close to the center of town with easy access to the shops and restaurants, but on a lovely, quiet street with a park right across the road. The owner was very communicative before and during our stay.
The house was a great space for our family of 5 for a long weekend stay. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen was well-stocked, and the shared spaces were great.
Such a fantastic location and home! We came with my two young children and my parents and we had a wonderful time! You can’t beat the location, it is across the street from the park, and you can walk to all the main stores and restaurants and it’s a short walk to the beach!
What a great time of the year to stay here. The weather was perfect, the trees are putting on their autumn splendor and the crowds are gone. This home is so convenient to everything. Thank you, John, for offering all the comforts of home. We’ll be back.
Excellent location close to beach as well as park. Very clean and fully stocked with everything we could have needed. This is a historic home that has been updated, so there are some quirks due to the age of the house, but that just adds to the overall experience. Beds/mattresses were super comfortable.
This home was perfect for our family! With a park and playground right across the street, and the beach close by it allowed us to have a great vacation. The homeowner provided kitchen and bathroom essentials that made our stay easier. The outdoor shower was a great feature to have especially for after the beach. We loved how cozy and welcoming the space was. Mostly importantly, all the beds were comfortable and provided us with restful sleep.
Great place near the local park and walking/biking distance from downtown
Excellent experience. Perfect place to stay if you have kids! Right across from the park. Home itself is also equipped for kids with a pack n play and high chair for little ones and games and arts for older. Would go again!
John was very communicative and helpful with everything. The house location was great and close to the beach. Plenty of exploring in Cape Charles…the shops in the area was great!!

About the host
Hosted by John Gavin
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.
John Gavin purchased this House in 2020
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.
