The Fishing Cottage is located in a rural setting that takes full advantage of the Eastern Shore's natural beauty while only minutes from the charming town of Cape Charles with its eclectic shops and restaurants. It is close to beautiful beaches, fishing piers, marinas and boat ramps to launch that boat.

With 6 bedrooms the Fishing Cottage is perfect for larger parties. The firepit, corn hole game, hammock, screened porch, and barbeque grill in the roomy back yard are the perfect place to gather in the evening after a day on the water surrounding the scenic Eastern Shore.

For the fisherman the big yard provides plenty of room to park your boat in a secure location. The house is centrally located minutes from the boat ramps in Cape Charles, Kiptopeke and Oyster. There is a screened porch for morning coffee, satellite TV, WIFI, fish cleaning station and a barbeque grill to cook that catch of the day.

The Fishing Cottage is located on a local farm with abundant wildlife and acres of corn, potatoes and soybeans. While enjoying sunsets from the screened porch you can watch the deer grazing in the surrounding fields. The farm located on Old Plantation Creek provides access for local watermen to the bounty of the Chesapeake Bay.

The charming Victorian town of Cape Charles is minutes away with its beautiful beaches, lovely old homes and fishing pier. The main street has quaint shops and eclectic dining with outdoor tables to enjoy the harbor view. Cape Charles now has its own brewery, cidery, and distillery.

Beaches, boat docks, kayaking, birding, wildlife sanctuaries and the unspoiled barrier islands are all nearby.

There is a private airstrip on the farm if you wish to arrive by private plane. Should you wish to bring your own horse there are equestrian stables on the property as well.

This property shares its rural farm setting with a sister house across the street, the RiverPark House (VRBO property #128102). The RiverPark house and the Fishing Cottage are both 6 bedroom houses. Fishing buddies and large families can rent both houses for a crowd.

Bounded on one side by the Chesapeake Bay and on the other side by the Atlantic Ocean the Eastern Shore of Virginia enjoys unparalleled coastal living beauty. This property takes full advantage of the natural beauty and tranquility of rural living that is the trademark of the Eastern Shore of Virginia.

    The house was perfect for my families. There were 13 of us and all had plenty of room. It was pretty close to everything we needed.

    Yes, it’s an old house. Plenty of sleeping space, and yard space. The outside of property (lawn) grass not cut, shrubs overgrown. Garden hose lying out on the grass. The BBQ grill was filthy! Two doorknobs came apart. Some of the windows couldn’t be locked. No screens on the windows, couldn’t allow any fresh air in without letting the knots & flies in. The curtains that was in the one bedroom & living room downstairs were old, dusty & too small for the windows! Cobwebs over my bed, in the kitchen on the light fixtures, etc. Dust everywhere. Old pot and pans just thrown in the cabinets. Linen just in there! I could go on. I have pictures!!! Where can I load them?

    The house is huge and very comfortable. I'd say it needs a few improvements (we had a doorknob that keep falling and the couple would be locked in the room, the cloth iron was no good). Great amount of sheets and towels. It's not dar from Cape Charles beach. Communicaton with property manager was not good.

    Among all the incredible reunions we've experienced, this one undoubtedly takes the crown. The Fishing Cottage served as the perfect backdrop for our gathering, bringing us together after journeys from as far as London and Japan, as well as those who drove up locally. The genuine warmth of your hospitality truly made the difference, and it seemed like everyone had an absolute blast. Anticipation is already building for our next reunion – we're eagerly looking forward to it!

    Awesome place. Older house, but very spacious and cool All beds were very comfortable. One minor complaint is the lack of a closet in the king room downstairs. The beach at Cape Charles was wonderful, not crowded and we loved swimming in the bay. Close to Virginia Beach, but the bridge toll was ridiculous I can't say enough good about this place.
