    The location is perfect and the check in and check out process was seamless. The unit is very nice, but could definitely use some new carpets. We enjoyrd the porch and the view of the water. We would definitely stay again.

    Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall, I had a positive rental experience. Blue Heron sent me relevant communication in a timely manner, along with helpful recommendations on things to do in the area. The location was perfect for access to all the things we wanted to do in Cape Charles, including quick access to the beach. The rental property was clean and overall well maintained. Would recommend different ant baits for the kitchen, as there were lots of ants when anything was placed on the counter. I appreciated the extra sheets and beach towels provided, as well as the full kitchen. We loved our stay in Cape Charles and I would most definitely rent through Blue Heron again.

    This was the perfect property for our stay in Cape Charles. It was very close to the beach, and you can see the water from the balcony. It was also within easy walking distance from some great restaurants.

    An isolated, 2nd floor apartment, nicely furnished, with a beautifully clear and unobstructed view of the harbor and bay. Located on Mason Ave between the center of town and the beach. It's very nice.

    Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The Seahorse Retreat was the perfect location for a long weekend getaway. We had never been to Cape Charles before, and the condo was perfectly situated in the historic downtown...close to shops, amazing restaurants and cafes, and the beach. Everything is walkable here, and we had a great time strolling around Cape Charles and seeing all of the beautiful homes and the central park. The beach is les than a five minute walk and we went there every evening for the sunsets. The front deck was perfect for breakfasts (after hitting the Mason Ave Bake Shop) and lunch as we could enjoy the sun and the people watching.The only concern we had about the place was the carpet, which is very old. We would recommend replacing with a vinyl flooring product, as the carpet maintained those burrs from the beach plantings and had a faint musty smell when we closed up the windows. Otherwise, the condi was very well appointed, and we loved the bed and the recliner!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Simply awesome. The apartment was one of the prettiest we have ever stayed in! Clean, light and airy, beautifully decorated. Sipped coffee on the veranda with a book in the mornings, then a wine in the evenings while we watched happy vacationeers stroll the charming street below. One block walk and we were on the beach swimming or on the pier watching breathtaking sunsets. Bike and kayak rentals also only a block away, alongside a seafood restaurant with an outdoor bar overlooking the bay. It really was quite perfect.

    This was a great 1 bdrm apt that was close to the shops and the beach. It's was very cute very clean and I enjoyed my stay. Be aware there are a set of steep stairs to get into the apt, so if you have knee or ankle issues it may be hard to get into .
