We had a wonderful long weekend stay at this house! We loved how spacious it was and how close it was to the state park, where we spent days at the beach or kayaking. We went into Cape Charles for fireworks and just had the best time. This was the perfect spot for our group, thank you!
We love the location of this property, short bike ride to the park. I would love to see a better equipped kitchen, other than that we loved it. Thank you.

Hi Natasha,
Thank you for the review, we appreciate the feedback. Please let me know what the kitchen was lacking so we can look into making this property even better!
Thank you again!

I would not recommend staying here. After my stay, they charged my credit card a week later an extra cleaning fee. On top of that, the toilet was leaking during my stay, which was inconvenient and woke up to clean the water and should have been fixed before guests arrived. Very disappointing experience.---Would you like me to make it short and sharp (a few sentences only), or longer and more detailed so it explains the situation more fully?

We’re disappointed to receive this review, especially as there was no mention of dissatisfaction during your stay.
To clarify for future guests: the post-stay charges were due to a missing park pass and an unusually intensive cleaning required after departure, both of which were fully documented and communicated. These were not unexpected fees, but necessary costs incurred due to the condition in which the property was left.
As for the toilet, it was thoroughly inspected by a licensed contractor and confirmed to be functioning properly. The water on the floors appeared to come from the shower curtain being left outside the tub, not from any plumbing issue.
We value honest feedback and are always responsive to guest concerns, especially during a stay, when we can resolve issues quickly. We encourage open communication and do our best to ensure every guest has a great experience, as reflected in the many positive reviews we've received.
I stayed with my husband, brother, and sister in law and our 2 infants and toddler. It was plenty spacious and perfect for our week at the beach. We spent time at Kiptopeke State Park with my parents, it was right down the road and was so close to the beach and pier. They even had a parking pass to get into the park for free every day. Everything was clean and check in and out process was so easy. We were so happy with our stay and hope to book this condo again in the future!

Reviewer Comments:
We enjoyed our stay in this townhouse. The space was perfect for our family. The kitchen is well stocked with pots,pans, and anything else you might need to cook at home. There are even 2 grills for cooking out! Comfy beds and nice decor. Access to Kiptopeke State Park for beach, kayaking and hiking trails. We will certainly be back!
A large beautiful condo that unfortunately had well water that smelled so badly when you showered or turned the sink water on. Also discolored white clothes and towels when using the washing machine. This issue really soured our experience here.

We have never had a complaint such as yours in the entire time we have been managing this property. After 2 days you wanted a total credit for your stay.
I offered it to you if you vacated the property and waited a day for you to reply you couldn't, as your house was "rented" that week. We reimbursed you $300.00 for your water issue. The community has septic and well and is tested periodically by the VDH.
We're sorry you were disappointed. We always want our guests to leave happy.
Spacious condo with standard amenities: linens, towels, dishes, toaster, tea kettle, coffee maker, ice maker/filtered water, etc. Beds are very firm (recommend bringing mattress topper if used to a softer mattress) with nice pillows & comforters. Nice, deep tub with handheld shower assembly in main suite bathroom plus standup shower. Walk-in closet in main suite.
Water has a sulfur scent (similar to water smell in campground bathhouse), let it run on hot a bit for smell to dissipate to manageable level. First use of toilets requires multiple flushes to clear water of silt & reduce scent.
If you have small children, bring outlet covers & gate(s), playpen if you have one, pack & play for kids who sleep in cribs or mat for toddlers as beds are a bit high for little sleepers. There are decor items that are within reach of little hands. I moved them up higher temporarily to protect those items from wee hands (moved them back before checking out) & used a playyard to contain my little as much as possible. The main suite was spacious & safe for my baby to toddle and crawl around in with doors closed as everything is out of reach (outlet covers needed). Nice soft carpets as well.
Easy communication with Kathy if anything is needed. Overall good stay & would likely book again if available next year.
This is our second stay at this house. It is clean and spacious. The kitchen is well stocked and has everything you need to cook for your group. It is close to Kiptopeke State Park and the beaches and trails. We look forward to staying here after!
Easy and efficient check in, no problems at all during our time there. The property is literally next door to the state park, 2 miles from the Bay Bridge, and 6 miles from Food Lion and Cape Charles tourist areas. We went to the July 4th parade at Cape Charles, which was very impressive. We also hit Brown Dog Ice Cream and the Brewery while we were in Cape Charles. The beaches at Kiptopeke and Cape Charles were perfect for little ones, and our boat rental from Poseidon was amazing (saw dolphins). We did a day trip to Chincoteague and went to Maui Jack's, and took our daughter for a great pony ride at Esperanza (Elizabeth was awesome to coordinate with!).
The property was very spacious. Bedrooms were large. There are actually 2.5 baths which was a plus since the listing said 2. Is right next to Kiptopeke State Park which has a nice beach. It said there was a pass to the park but there was not one there. They have said they will reimburse the $7 per day parking fee. The gas grill was out of gas so we had to fill it. The manager has said they will reimburse that $20 as well. Occasionally the manager did not respond right away but they did eventually get back to me. They also said toilet paper and paper towels were provided. We ran out of both midweek and had to get more. I would stay here again because the house is very nice for the price
Overall it was a great place to stay with regards to the location. We took our children to the beach within the park each day and it was so nice that it was so close. It had all the basics but was sparse in the kitchen and linens.
Incredibly clean and convenient stay on the southern tip of ESVA
We were deeply appreciative of the cleanliness of this property - top notch among the places we’ve stayed. Great layout, completely functional kitchen, and convenient to outdoor activities, including nature preserves. Also very close to Cape Charles and other Eastern Shore destinations.
This property was great for long time friends to get together for a long weekend. Very close to 2 separate beaches, the down town area was adorable. The home included everything we needed for our stay. We would stay again!
