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.

Orange Crush 1 was ideal for our family. Easy to check in and check out. Clean. Lots of neighborhood character. For walkers like ourselves, the location was perfect: quiet, near tennis courts, the beach and the towns unique esteries can't be beat.
Orange Crush 2 was a very nice property. It was recently renovated. The decor was very inviting. Kitchen was well equipped. It did not have a regular coffee pot, only a Keurig, the listing only said coffee pot. I purchased a coffee pot and Chesapeake Bay Rentals who manages the property reimbursed me for it. We had a couple issues while there and this property manager was fantastic. The house has 2 full baths, the three bedrooms are upstairs and only one full bath is upstairs and the 2nd full bathroom is on the ground floor off the kitchen. It had 2 lovely lovely porches one off the front and one off the back.
The steps are rather steep so I would say if renting this property with small children bring a gate and for older adults there are many steps to climb. There is a futon in the kitchen .
We would stay again.
Very clean and tidy beach duplex. Back alley access was a great alternative to the front door. Outdoor seating options were nice, both front and back deck. Upstairs bathroom is a little tight and short on storage. The stairs are steeper than modern rentals, but to be expected in an older historic home. They had a baby gate at the top though, which was a really nice touch especially for our old dog. Bedrooms were spacious and the a/c worked well all week. Good closet space so you don't have to trip over your bags. We like walking our dog, but if you have little ones you will want a cart as it is several blocks to the beach and stores. A bike is a perfect alternative too. Any way you look at it, you can drop your car keys in the bottom of your bag and forget about them for the week. What a great trip!

We had a great time on our first vacation as a family to Cape Charles. Just a. Few recommendations: an enclosed outdoor shower and additional tvs in the bedrooms. Maybe a little landscape.
Home was newly remodeled. When I asked about coffee pot I was told yes they had one so i bought ground coffee. I was not told it was a K-cup and had yo make a trip out to get some. Stairs were a bit steep and upstairs bathroom was extremely narrow for some to enter. But we enjoyed our stay very very much

The property description was very accurate. The home was clean and well-maintained. Our rental agent was wonderful and responded quickly to any of our questions. I’d definitely recommend this property. We were able to walk to the town, beach and local restaurants. The Shanty porch was a hit with the adults. The delightful park and playground were perfect for the kids! Even in winter ... everything was great!

Reviewer Comments:
Orange Crush is a nice duplex very near the beach and in a sweet little town. Kitchen was well stocked and the place was very clean. Only real downside is the stairs. They are really steep and sloped down, so it requires both hands to maintain balance and a slow pace to keep from falling. Do not recommend this for seniors. If you have young children, make sure you bring a baby gate. Owners could also spend a few dollars and put nightstands and lamps in the MBR as well as blinds for privacy on the kitchen door. Overall, we enjoyed our stay here. Easy check in and check out. Nice staff in the property management office. The best meal we had was at Hook@Harvey, great food and service but be sure to make reservations well ahead online.
