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 family rentals 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.

    AWESOME HOUSE & LOCATION. GRANDKIDS LOVED THE 3RD FLOOR & PLACES TO HIDE FROM EACH OTHER. PROXIMITY TO BEACH WAS WONDERFUL-SUNSETS WERE MORE BEAUTIFUL THAN AT KEY WEST. GREAT FOOD -- GREAT SHOPPING AND ALL TOWNSPEOPLE WERE FRIENDLY.

    Always a wonderful family experience. Anne is a most gracious host and the house is the best located in all of Cape Charles. See you next year, God willing!

    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!

    This property was very comfortable, with many conveniences. Being across from the beach was a bonus. We were able to take the little ones to the beach for just a couple of hours, with little effort to get there. We appreciated all of the things in the house, that we did not have to drag from home. We enjoyed our stay.

    If you get an opportunity to stay at this beautiful home because the dates are available, DO IT! sunSet from the upstairs deck is worth it for the incredible pictures alone, but the room to spread out (family of 2 adults, 3 kids under 8, 2 teens and 2 grandparents), the ample beach towels, the media room for the teens with a Roku tucked away upstairs, the opportunity to play pool in the morning and then relax in the comfortably appointed living room at night, enjoy a family meal in the beautiful dining room, do laundry (two dryers, woo hoo!) and be literal steps from the beach are the icing on top. Lovely fenced backyard and watching their Poppy grill out kept our littles entertained outside, with the outdoor shower, beach chairs, beach toys, life vests, kayaks and golf cart charging station adding to the convience and enjoyment for everyone. Close to everything. We LOVED Cape Charles (first visit) and will be back!
