    We asked a dozen questions before booking because Cape Charles was a new area for us. The owners were patient, helpful, and super responsive throughout our decision process. House was fantastic and the town beach is a gem for families! Note for parents of young kids - the huge tub in the primary bedroom is the most kid friendly for baths. Not a big deal for us at all.

    We had a wonderful stay at Drop Anchor! We loved the location of the house with the option of spending time at the marina or in town! The house was well equipped and clean. We loved having the option of renting the golf cart which made the experience so much more fun! We would definitely rent again. The owner and property manager were very easy to communicate with which made the experience even better!

    House was perfectly clean, comfortable, with plenty of space to spread out and remote work areas. The kitchen was well-stocked, beds comfortable, and there were plenty of towels and games. The golf cart is top of the line! There is access to a community pool, tennis/pickleball courts, and it is very close to a private beach. Excellent communication by the host!

    Beautiful Home! We were very impressed with the quality of the home, furnishing, beautiful decor, amenities, and cleanliness of the space. The house was very comfortable and cozy with just the right beachy touches! The use of the golf cart was great and very convenient as was having use of the community the pool. We thought that the kitchen was well appointed, however, I would make one minor suggestion, when people come to vacation at the beach or bay, most will want to cook some seafood or fish. A large steamer pot would have been very useful along with a couple of large serving platters. Also, a FLY SWATTER! We eventually found one and purchased it for the house! The next family will find it useful :) We were sad that it was just way too hot to use the firepit in the evenings, but the outdoor space was lovely, and the landscaping was beautiful. Overall, we loved this home and everything about it! Looking forward to coming back sometime soon!

    We had an incredible weekend in Cape Charles at Drop Anchor. We've been renting places in CC for the past 10 years, and this was the cleanest and most well-appointed home we've ever rented. My husband and I invited 4 friends to CC for the weekend bc they had never been, and they fell in love with everything! The golf cart was amazing, and we had the best time. Timely responses and detailed notes and emails from property manager. Thank you so much for having us at Drop Anchor! We’ll definitely rent this beautiful home again!

    What a great home to relax and enjoy time together while experiencing beautiful and quant Cape Charles. Drop Anchor had all the amenities needed for a wonderful long weekend. This beautiful, very clean, comfortable and well stocked home was central to all activities and restaurants. The beds and linens were super comfy and we rested well in the quiet neighborhood. We enjoyed early morning sunrise coffee on the screened porch and then hopped on our rented carts and were able to explore all the natural beauty of the beaches, the community pool, the close-by museum, restaurants and down town shoppes. Coming home to lots of yard games provided was super fun. We would LOVE to rent Drop Anchor again next visit. Trey was awesome to work with - kind, helpful, and super fast to communicate. Highly recommend! Thank you, Trey for helping make our family weekend so special!

    Wonderful stay in an immaculate house. Weather was a little rainy during our week but we had plenty of space to spread out and things to do for the teens. Enjoyed the ping pong table, paddle boards, multiple walks into the downtown area and local shops, and of course the nice calm sandy beach. Added benefit that all the chairs and towels we needed were ready and waiting. Bedrooms and kitchens were spacious and very clean. We cooked for 9-10 every night in the kitchen which was stocked with everything we needed for a large group. Host was easily accessible for a couple of questions we had, overall a very well-managed property and a lovely small town area.

    Great house accommodations, close to the Bay and only a 50min drive to the Ocean. The town was quaint and close enough to walk. The property manager was quick to respond to questions and/or issues. The house was spotless, even the window sills were dust free! Would 100% recommend.
