About the host

Hosted by Kim Chandler

Host profile image
We are a busy family of 4 who has over the years enjoyed restoring historical properties and sharing our love of unique older homes with other travelers on VRBO. We are a premier host of Dryden House in Cape Charles, VA, and now have over 50 reviews on VRBO and we are also frequent guests of VRBO properties. We have learned the value of some of the smaller details that can detract from or enhance a family getaway and try to make our guests feel welcome in our home.

READ A RECENT 2022 REVIEW OF OUR 5-star DRYDEN HOUSE BEACH PROPERTY-
Best family vacation ever!!!! This property was the nicest house and location we have rented in 25 years. This house had everything you could ever need or want. It was by far the most well-equipped vrbo imaginable!!! We have rented a property on the coast (mostly OBX) for 25 years. For our family of grandparents, 30 to 40 year old children., 8,5,and 9 month old grandchildren.....The Dryden House was a vacation that we will never forget!!

We Strive for quality guest experiences and personalized details. We attribute our past success to repeat guests and often have bookings a year in advance while our guests are still enjoying their stay. This speaks to the VRBO experience of renting a historic home in one of Virginia's picturesque historic districts.

Why they chose this property

We are the third owners of the Marshall house in the last 100 years. We have taken on the challenge of some neglect and embraced the opportunities of restoring this property to its former glory. Between guests, in the year to come, we will be on a mission of constant improvements such as updated paint colors and appliances. We also have big plans for the outdoor space, an inviting fire pit, an extended grilling area, and plenty of additional seating. This hopefully means that all our guests have something new to look forward to this season. We welcome suggestions for improvements in all ways big and small as this home is intended to be a lifelong project for us as we head towards retirement.

What makes this property unique

Location! Location! Location! Great neighborhood to enjoy the 56-acre Seminary campus with its historical charm and walking paths and nearby parks and tennis courts. We also have a nearby community pool free to all guests with an outdoor toddler water play area and the Arthur Ashe walking trail and tennis courts in Battery Park.

The relaxing & private saltwater pool is an added bonus in summer, plus a large grass area behind the guest house is perfect for volleyball, bat mitten, boules or croquet.

Fantastic chef's kitchen with gas cooktop, beverage Frig, and commercial ice maker, this is truly a home away from home where serving a large meal in other short-term rentals is often a chore, where serving dishes and oversized cooking pans are scarce.

Private parking is another plus for guests having more than one vehicle a must as overnight parking in the city nearby can be a challenge. The unique low-profile front porch allows wheelchair accessibility and the first-floor queen bedroom can accommodate guests who have trouble with stairs. This house has something for everyone as far as private spaces and patios. Great for larger groups who still value privacy and a quiet atmosphere.
