Getting Around:
Cape Charles is located near the southern tip of Virginia’s Eastern Shore right on the Chesapeake Bay. Cape Charles is a small town (the historic area is roughly a six block by six block square) that sits on the peninsula’s western coast… meaning you can sit on the beach in Cape Charles and watch the sunset right over the water. On the Chesapeake Bay, not the Atlantic Ocean, the water is calm and shallow. The picturesque town of Cape Charles is filled with Americana, all about family and beautiful surroundings, voted one of the Happiest Seaside Towns by Coastal Living. Let the beach be your playground! Check out the walkable retail district, schedule a tee time at one of Bay Creek's award-winning golf courses, or take a water adventure for fishing and cruising.

Thank you, Anna, for your five-star review! We're glad you enjoyed the fantastic location and had a comfortable stay. We look forward to welcoming you back soon!
This house was exactly what we needed. The house was very comfortable and the pool was an added plus. I do wish that there were a few lounge chairs out by the pool as well as a table to eat at on the deck by the grill. All in all, this property was perfect and I would highly recommend.

Reviewer Comments:
My wife and I rented this house to spend a week in Cape Charles with my son, his wife and 2 grandchildren. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this house. It was clean, comfortable and the pool fit the bill for the grandchildren. A couple of things will make this house much better. The den only has a single couch that can seat at most 4 people. The house is advertised as accommodating 14 people. We had 4 adults and two grandchildren, and the seating was not enough when we gathered in that area. More comfortable seating is needed to make the area more comfortable. In addition, only one bedroom out of the four had a dresser. As a result, we had to keep clothes in our suitcases as the closets had few hangers to use. Other than these two areas, we enjoyed our stay.

Great House, perfect view and very safe neighborhood!
Enjoyed our stay. Well equipped kitchen. Would have been even better if there was comfortable furniture in the living room so all adults could have enjoyed being together. Only a couch in the living room so had to use kitchen chairs which are not very comfortable.
Loved everything about this property except there was not enough comfortable seating in living area. Would also have liked more comfortable seating by the pool.
This was a beautiful home with lovely views of the bay! Quick ride into the neat town of Cape Charles VA. The whole area is a perfect piece of Americana. Great for families.
Overall we had a great week at Beach Bums Only. The house was beautiful, the location was unbeatable and the pool was fantastic. The bar area and beverage refrigerator were great.
The home could use additional storage for guests ( dressers needed in several rooms). The kitchen was very well stocked but needed some empty space for guest food storage.
We liked the house and loved the location, but the pool filters didn't seem to be working consistently even after the management company came out to work on them. Also, we would have liked to have at least one cabinet available for storing our food. All the cabinets were full of dishes, etc. Other than that, it was very comfortable and pretty.
The property and location was beautiful. We were there for my daughter's wedding and the only down side was we were not told that the construction equipment would be on the property and that it would be running while we were at the home. It was a little invasive to have people on the property installing grass and running the equipment during our stay but the house was amazing.
