Absolutely Amazing!

We had such a great time in Cape Charles. The house was the perfect size with the best accommodations. Kerry was very responsive and a pleasure to rent from.

The house is charming and cute. It was clean and very comfortable. Our hostess greeted us with a sand bucket of goodies including delicious coffee and a gift certificate to the wine store in town. What a nice touch! I really enjoyed sitting in the enclosed porch! I would definitely stay here next year. Thank you!

Lovely house in quiet part of town

The house is bigger than we expected, the two end bedrooms were large enough for there to be a pack n play in each. The screened in porch and back patio (not pictured) were great as well for having dinner/cockatils at night. It did lack some of the little things that rentals that have been around longer have (cleaning supplies, seasonings for cooking, beach items, etc) but cant really fault them for that.

Cape Charles Family Vacation

Great house and great stay! The house was very comfortable and more than enough space for our family of 4! Everything was updated and clean. The outdoor shower was a great plus to keep the beach outside after long beach days with the family.The owner was friendly and responsive the one time I reached out - I was just being paranoid and wanted to make sure we didn't miss anything in the check out instructions...there weren't many things to do either which was a plusThanks again for a great stay!

Perfect little spot in Cape Charles!

We loved staying here! This adorable house has all the classic charm Cape Charles is known for, but has been updated with lots of modern comforts. The whole place was clean, comfy and well-stocked, and we especially appreciated the convenience of the golf cart. We hated to leave and will surely be back!

We had a fantastic time at the Salty Seahorse. The house was spacious and perfect for our little family of four. All of the amenities were on point and the details made our stay a breeze. Can't wait to come back!
