Wonderful property! Kathy was very responsive. First time we’ve had a pool in Cape Charles, the kids LOVED it!!We loved a bathroom for every bedroom. She has pool towels available, games, umbrellas, some pantry items. Nice to have some of these things that other houses may or may not provide. We’ve booked it for next year!

Alysa House was a perfect location for 4 couples who have been friends for over 40 years. The en-suite bedrooms were perfect. The bedrooms were very comfortable and beds were great. Kathy’s decorating was exceptional. The kitchen was well equipped and ideal for gathering. The outside both porches had lots of comfortable seating. The pool was beautiful and Kathy bumped up the temp to make it so enjoyable. Kathy was a wonderful host and very responsive. We highly recommend this home to families. Close to Main Street and easy walk to the beach. We will be back.

Great spot all around!

Beautiful and comfortable home, close to town shops, restaurants, and the beach. In Cape Charles, nothing is more than a quick walk or brief golf cart ride away! Great house for a family looking to enjoy it all with a terrific host nearby and responsive.

Tucker family 2024 Cape Charles retreat

This was the perfect place for our family summer vacation house! All the bedrooms had full baths and was perfect all the families we had there. The pool was a plus because we have 3 or more days of over 100° heat index and a place to relax while the were babies napping. Definitely recommend for a large group!

We had 6 adults and 5 children with us and had a wonderful time! With the house having a full bath with each bedroom was great. The entire house was very clean and laid out very well. We really enjoyed the pool and the front porch, spent alot of time in both of those places. The off street parking fit our three vehicles and 2 golf carts easily. The location was good for walking to all of the shops and restaurants. The only issue that i had was that check in time was 4pm only to find the landscape crew there triming and cleaning up branches and loading them onto the pickup truck and trailer that was in the middle of the driveway, so we could not park. I asked the crew to move the truck out to the street. They said they needed just a few minutes. We then walked down the street two blocks and picked up the two golf carts and drove them back. I then asked again if they could move the truck and trailer. They did. it was then about 4:45pm. Fortunately, the other two families showed up about 5pm so they were able to park in the driveway. The next day we came back from the beach about 2pm to the house where the landscapers were now cutting the grass. it was only about 15 minutes, but they blew a-lot of grass clippings into pool, which i had to skiim off before the kids were able to go in. So, the only problem was the Host should've scheduled the landscaping and grass cutting when folks are not scheduled to be in the house. Other than that it was great!

Gary, I am so sorry for the inconvenience with the Landscaper. If you had let me know I would have definitely had them move the vehicles. Normally they come between 10 am and 4 pm but for some reason they were late. I would have also made them clean the pool. Again, I am very sorry.

Vacationing on the Eastern Shore

Alyssa House was perfect for our family! Plenty of bedrooms and baths for all 13 of us! Such a lovely historic home, beautifully decorated and so comfortable. We all enjoyed the pool and hot tub, the wonderful porches and making s’mores around the fire pit in the backyard! Kathy was a wonderful hostess and so helpful! We look forward to vacationing there again next summer and highly recommend Alyssa House!!!
