    Home was what I expected. Great location…only hiccup was the instructions to the lock box to get into house. Apparently it had been moved I looked for the look box over 30 mins and finally found it on the opposite side of the porch where it was dippise to be located. Other than that one inconvenience everything else was gone!☺️

    We had a great 4-night stay with family. Cape Charles was a perfect beach for our 2 year old daughter to enjoy! We rented a golf cart (highly recommend). The house was comfortable and well equipped for our family’s needs and we loved the proximity to the park where we enjoyed multiple nights of live music! We would highly recommend this property to others!

    We stayed with our two children and their spouses and their three grandchildren. It was the perfect house!! Very well appointed with all the things you would need. Lots of extras (beach chairs wagon, lots of beach towels and lots). Great porch and wonderful backyard area.

    The house was beautiful inside and out. We really appreciated all the little extras like towels, chairs, toiletries and kitchen basics. The beds were the most comfortable and every room was thoughtfully decorated. We loved our long weekend at Cape Charles!

    Overall, the house was fine and in a great location. We liked that it was close to the neighborhood park. I am not sure I'd consider it walkable (especially for older adults), but we rented a golf cart so it was fine. We were quickly disappointed that none of the bedrooms had curtains, just cheap vinyl blinds, and it was BRIGHT (not good for adults or kids!). For the price of the listing, there should have been blackout shades. We had to unplug the patio lights because they stayed on after 11 p.m.. Between that and no curtains, it was like daylight in our rooms. We ended up hanging towels over the windows. The house overall was quite cute (would love to see nautical decor in the master, though!). I also appreciated supplies like toilet paper, paper towels, and lots of towels. There was no salt though, so make sure to bring your own! We were really looking forward to the outdoor area and the upper deck, but unfortunately the house was COVERED in thick spider webs, spider eggs and well, spiders, so we didn't spend much time outside. I did expect this area to be cleaner for the cost of the house. Hidden behind the sectional in the living room, there was a big spiderweb INSIDE the house - so that was not enjoyable leaning your head back to see a big spider! Overall, I think this is a nice place for adults as long as it gets some attention to cleaning and window coverings. I would not recommend this house for kids under 4.
