Welcome to 523 Monroe Avenue, a historic duplex built in 1920. Fully renovated in the spring of 2020. It is located in the heart of historic Cape Charles, Virginia. Walk or cart anywhere in town from this ideal location. We are located just steps from Central Park and only four blocks to the Chesapeake Bay and all of the dining and shopping options along Mason Avenue.

523 Monroe Avenue features high speed internet throughout, a 50 inch smart tv in the living room, as well as another tv in the main bedroom.

Located on a quiet, one way street in the historic district, we are a short walk to everything in town. The front porch has two rocking chairs with southern exposure. The downstairs is large and open with the living room and dining area leading into the kitchen, laundry, full-bath, and out to the backyard patio. The kitchen includes all new appliances, cooking utensils, wine glasses, spices, and more. If you feel like cooking outside there is a grill, smoker, and picnic table on the patio.

Upstairs there are three bedrooms and another full bath. The master bedroom features a queen bed and television, the second bedroom has another queen bed, while the last bedroom has two twin beds.

Perfect long weekend
Even with a rainy start, we had a great stay relaxing with a beverage on the cozy porch, doing puzzles on the large dining table and enjoying all Cape Charles has to offer. The house was well appointed with lots of thoughtful extras like a small cooler, lawn chairs and beach toys, and even a beach wagon to transport gear. The beach area was also perfect for our family as it allowed us all to do what we prefer most while still feeling connected - sun lovers enjoyed the beach while fish could be caught from the pier just a few steps away. We can’t wait for our next trip here!

Family get-away weekend
A wonderful place to stay! Lovely historic home that has been fully updated. The Owners were great to work with -- everything went smoothly and as expected. They gave us welcomed ideas/recommendation for places to eat and things to do. Within walking distance of restaurants, the historic downtown/shopping area and the beach. We walked everywhere during our stay! Recommend staying here 110% - you won't be dissappointed.

Crabby Blues Festival weekend
We came in town to visit our Aunt and Uncle who own BayHaven Inn Bed and Breakfast. We also came to enjoy the Crabby Blues Festival. Our stay was outstanding! The house was immaculate, welcoming, and very spacious for our group. We have two young boys and the back yard, front porch, and sidewalks made us feel very safe. We highly recommend this house and will return!
