Escape To The Beautiful Virginia Eastern Shore And The Chesapeake Bay View!

Our home is one of the three “grand old ladies” that were built across from the beach facing directly west into the sunset. Built in 1927 for a wealthy Cape Charles merchant, extensive renovations have been made to restore its grand character and create one of the most comfortable, as well as relaxing familyrentals on the Virginia eastern shore. Enjoy a walk on the extensive sandy beach, lounge in the sun, kayak and paddle board, or build a sandcastle! Every evening you can view the fantastic sunset from the relaxing front porch! You may decide to eat in under the lights on the back patio or stroll to one of our fine restaurants. Fine shops, galleries, dining and entertainment are all within walking distance. The Town of Cape Charles Fishing Pier is an amenity for your family to enjoy a day of fishing or crabbing. The Town purchases an annual fishing license, so you do not need your own. You will need to register for the Virginia Fisherman Identification Program, which is a no-charge program. Registration is quick and easy.

Each bedroom on the second floor has an on suite full bathroom and ROKU live streaming television. The third floor features two bedrooms, one full bath and a media room. The sixth bedroom is located on the first floor off the kitchen and has a single daybed. A single portable bed is available as well located in the closet of the Sunrise bedroom.

The dining room seats 8 comfortably, but can seat 12 using the corners. The black buffet holds white china and gold ware that may be used. Please do not open or use the china cabinet china.

The butlers pantry seats a table of 4. The wine glasses, cocktail glasses and beer glasses are available for use. The bottom cabinets contains china that is perfect for afternoon tea!

The beautiful sun porch is equipped with a stately pool table for your enjoyment. Four kayaks are available for use during your stay, along with the required life vest and whistle. Sun bathe during the day and cool off under the breeze of the front porch in the evening, or sit fireside in front of the backyard fireplace!

If you feel adventurous you can rent jet skis from Poseidon Watersports, take a kayak expedition with Southeast Expeditions or go horseback riding on the beach with Esperanza Riding Company! The Northampton YMCA offers vacation passes!

Note: Park on gravel lot off private drive behind the house and do not park in yard driveway. Golf cart parking and charging station available there as well.

    This house was a gorgeous place us and our friends to spend a very memorable weekend. Being right on the beach was so amazing, and this house was so well appointed, it felt like being in a country manor. The hosts were so accommodating (even when we goofed up) and did everything to make our stay wonderful. I cannot recommend this place enough!

    This house and our stay was amazing! We did not need to worry about bringing anything! The house is beautiful, you feel like you've stepped into history. The amenities unmatched and the owners stayed in contact throughout our stay providing the comfort of knowing that we could reach out if we had any concerns or questions. The town is quaint and just what we were looking for in our girls weekend. I also suggest renting a boat with Poseidon Watersports if that is your thing. But the house itself provided us with so many great memories. Thank you for sharing your piece of heaven on earth.

    Our host was most attentive and checked in once during the weekend. The home is lovely and has all the comforts you could ask for. The views and sunsets from each room are fantastic. Right across the road from the bay. We will definitely be returning.

    I'm sorry it has taken so long to review our stay. It was truly perfect for our family. We range in age from 3 to 70somethng, and we all enjoyed being so close to the beach. It made ferrying beach gear, kids, and food back and forth a cinch. The home is stunning, and the owners have filled it with interesting, tasteful decor and personal items. I have already recommended it to friends and coworkers who are looking for a beach vacation that's actually relaxing! Thank you for your hospitality, flexibility, and for sharing your lovely, historic home with so many.

    We had a wonderful time. House is great for everyone except me. I am 73 and am currently having a hard time with my legs. lots of steps and the lack of bars in the shower made things difficult. Otherwise, we love the house and the location.

    This property is incredible in every way shape and form! We especially loved studying the incredible pieces of history on the walls and admiring the photo album of your Grandfather! What an incredible man and family!! We couldn’t think of a better place for honoring those who sacrificed so much for our freedom on Memorial Day! We are looking forward to celebrating again at Bayview in ‘26!
