The Captain's Cottage was originally built in 1886 and has recently undergone extensive renovations to create a home of charm, history, and comfort. Located a block away from Cape Charles's Central Park, four blocks from the beach, and two blocks from Mason Avenue, the Captain's Cottage is in a prime location in Cape Charles.
The Captain’s Cottage is a historic cassat cottage consisting of four bedrooms and two full baths. There are six beds to comfortably sleep up to nine guests total. The Mermaid bedroom has a queen-size bed; the Seahorse bedroom has a full-size bed; the Nautical bedroom has a twin-size bed and a twin-day bed trundle; the Captain’s Quarters bedroom has a king-size bed as well as its own private balcony. Each bedroom also has its own TV available for streaming and ample bedroom storage during your stay. There is a full bathroom on each floor. The downstairs bathroom features a relaxing soaking tub and a double-headed shower. The upstairs bathroom has a standing shower and a brand new single vanity with storage. Towels, shower essentials, and a hairdryer will be provided during your stay.
Downstairs there are two living spaces to gather, stream your favorite shows and movies, and relax. Off the living spaces, there is a small sitting room that features a built-in cabinet bar to enjoy a drink with friends and family. The bar will be equipped with a cocktail maker set, glasses, and an ice bucket. From the sitting room, you will find the beautiful eat-in kitchen outfitted with brand new stainless steel appliances, quartz and marble countertops, and a kitchen island with two barstools. The farmhouse table was originally from an estate sale on the Eastern Shore. The kitchen has all your essentials including a Keurig, french press, hot water kettle, toaster, pots, pans, utensils, spices, plates, and drinkware.
