Why they chose this property
Our family has vacationed for several years in Cape Charles and we fell in love with the town. Every time we visited, we always looked at the area and wanted a place of our own. We came upon this house and knew that it would fit our entire family in the house comfortably (We as the grandparents, our 3 kids and their spouses and our 7 grandkids).
